Constellations of Rathnir

Hello! today we're gonna have a little bit of an astrology lesson! Welcome to the stories of the 10 constellations. Lets get started

The Guard Dog of The Moon


Alorus, dog of the moon. Alorus fought besides his owner, never leaving his side, until one night when Alorus' owner, Higna, stole power from the moon through a ritual. Alorus was spoken to with the gods, saying that if he got the power back from Higna on a moonlit night, he'd join the stars when he died.

However, Alorus had to turn on his owner. As anyone would be, Alorus wasn't too happy about the proposition, so he struck a deal. If he had to kill Higna, he would join the stars with the dog.

Higna may not have his own constellation, but he has his own star.

The God of The Animal Races
The bear, Uris, is why races of foxes, bears, ect, live in Rathnir. He gave them gifts of human intelligence, calling all species to the stars. He saw the humans, elves, and everything in-between evolving, but not his own. Every species was confused, but one by one, they all took their gifts of evolution, and walked the world. Now, creatures of this kind still have their original, primal instincts, but like humans, its dumbed down a tiny bit. A wolf humanoid isn't gonna start chasing down a rabbit humanoid unless they've completely lost it. However they still may form packs. It is quite weird how some didn't evolve, but some theorize its because Uris seperated normal animals, from the humanoid species, to keep balance and so they could avoid becoming livestock, knowing humans horrid nature.

The Deer of Winged Horns
The deer of winged horns, Wistern, was a deer born with the special ability of flight, due to his antlers being wings, instead of bone. Nobody knows why he was born this way, but some theorize it was a gift of the gods. For later on he lead his herd out of danger from wolves they were rivals with by using his wings. Earning him a place in the stars for his bravery.

The Severed Fox.
Fosin, the severed fox. Fosin was once just a random fox who lived, however, the humans raged against his kind, killing him and his family. But he came back as a ghost, with no head. To haunt the hunter who killed his family. He saw his head mounted amongst the hunters head, and killed him with the very axe the man killed Fosin with.

Fosin's Head
Fosin is forever doomed to be chasing his head amongst the stars, as a punishment for enacting revenge against the hunter. He can never get it, as it always leaves his grasp before he can grab it again

The Eyes Of Rathnir
The eyes of Rathnir are well, just that. They are what the gods peer out of to judge you and your actions. They don't really have a legend, however, they are what cause most natural disasters usually due to them thinking someone did something unfit, angering them.

The Giant Snake
Simply just a big snake, known to be the father of all snakes, and also to come out of the stars when the world ends.
