Starborne Ancient | Tower of Madness

LORE & BACKGROUND

Languid and shattered, the Starborne Ancient resides in the deepest chamber of the Astrologer’s Observatory. Few can recall when this enigmatic being first arrived upon Doaden; some speculate the observatory was erected around it.

Mangled and frail, despite its great size, the Starborne Ancient’s body has been shattered by an array of unattributable wounds confining it to its subterranean lair. Trapped deep below, the creature perpetually gazes into the beyond, reaching and gazing into an array of mirrors and scrying pools, perceiving depths of the void far beyond the reach of even the Order's most advanced telescopes. What drives its relentless search—be it secrets, healing, or kin—is known only to the Ancient.

Though a closely guarded secret from outsiders, the Starborne Ancient is no mere prisoner of the Astrologic Order, instead, the strange creature holds the many scholars and stargazers under its thrall, directing them in the self-same search of the stars that it so obsessively undertakes itself.
