Mysterious Followers of the Grandmother Stars
"You people shouldn't listen to me. You should follow your heart. Try to be kind. Understand that people make mistakes, but they're still people. So even if they hurt you, I want you to know they still deserve dignity, just like you. We won't get anywhere being cruel, like Medea, because then we'll be just like her. So please... be good to each other." Delphine Finley, Messiah of Grandmother Stars, appealing to Whispermill's people's better nature.The Mysterious Followers of the Grandmother Stars is a religious following of those who wish to spread the Doctrine of Delphine. This belief is currently in its infancy, having been culled and struck from the Zygallic Church's teachings despite being one of the founding beliefs. Those who adhere to this following have seen Delphine's own power and blessings, and wish to heed her words and aid her however they can. The most recent group of followers include:
- Ansel and Philomena: Delphine's Parents
- Zilligar Clay: A butler for the De Borel Family, recently converted due to Delphine's magnanimity.
- Pythia Finley: Converted cleric from the Shadowed Heart. Now devoted to Grandmother Stars.
- Various members of the Shadowed Heart: Recent converts from the Shadowed Heart. 29 Followers.
Mythology & Lore
At the beginning of time, Grandmother Stars and Grandfather Time created the Divine Quartet. The Divine Sextet was created to give mortals aspirations, and to make sense of the world in which they live.
Divine Origins
In the past, those who worshiped Grandmother Stars were plenty. They kept the mysteries of life, and made traditions to celebrate people's differences and similarities. Though a Chosen has not existed for some time, there were six Hierarchs who kept the faith alive throughout the millenia

When the Plague of Colorless Flame hit, all who followed the Grandmother were killed. From the ashes rose The Keepers Arcane.
Eventually La'Cunae would be born, and the belief would slowly grow anew. La'Cunae gained the aid of Alaric of Zhen, Feodor the Wise, Jayshra Maho'Doa, Iselle of Autombre, and finally the Child of Dominion. The six of them fought the Keepers Arcane and sought to spread their religion.
However, a disagreement arose between the six. La'Cunae wanted magical knowledge, and all the secrets of the world, to be known to the people of Verous. Fearing this would only cause further chaos, Alaric of Zhen opposed her. Four opposed La'Cunae, who was aided only by the Child of Dominion. She lost, as did her closest followers.
Years later the remnants of the Keepers Arcane would pick up the beliefs. Led by Mr. Blood, they formed the Shadowed Heart, and taught a bastardized version of La'Cunae's struggle and the Goddess of Stars.
It would not be until Gusterus 30th, 130 FE that a new Messiah would be chosen. Delphine Finely, tasked by Grandmother Stars' to teach her true beliefs, and to free her from the clutches of the Demon of Madness that had overtaken the Shadowed Heart.
