Star Speak

'Stars flash and flare, and the god's speak, for any with the power to listen.' – Star Speaker

Beyond the veil shines a cacophony of realms and planes and further still exists the worlds of the gods and their creators and destroyers. This Pantheon plots and strategies beyond merely a single realm, concocting plans and schemes that span reality, moving dozens of pieces and manipulating thousands with thoughts and millions with actions. These actions appear as the flashing of lights, blazing of stars and shifting of nebulae to those unable to perceive the truth, but to those gifted with the skills, sight and strength great strings connect moments, scents, sounds and sensations beyond any ability to explain.

Amongst the mortals exist those gifted, or cursed, to see the threads of plans and schemes shifting and moving behind the stars. A sight through the veil to the very origins of the universe. Many go mad at what they see, unable to understand or conceive of the plans before them.

This ability to see the patterns beyond the string and guile to the truth of it all is what makes a Speaker truly great, and a rarity indeed. Many find themselves caught in the gravity of their own importance and become manipulated in turn, seeing only what they wish and not the truth beyond it.

The Kylithotal  The saurians of the Kylithotal Empire hold a dozen or star speakers amongst their number. Within their kind, the gift has blossomed more than within others. Some believe the affinity they hold with their God Kaleksha and deciphering his Great Plan is the reason for this gift, though none can say for certain. What it has done, is allowed some within their Empire to see the signs of great danger. They raised these concerns to the current Voice of Kelaksha and were either executed or banished for this act. Those that survived have formed the Okalotan on the far side of the island in the hope they can gain the power and support to combat this growing corruption. Though time is running out.
