Sage Variant You seek in the movement of the Starry Wisdoms the secrets to the future, and understanding of who people are. By peering into the vaults of the firmament and charting the passage of the stars through the sky's dominions, you are granted the occasional glimpse as to what lies ahead. Many folk believe you to be some kind of priest or cultists of the Starry Wisdoms, but one does not worship the Great Lords of the Firmament - one simply observes them, and interprets their dance through the void to understand their message.
