Elysium Stars

A Star of Marriage



The Vita Stella Lux star festival, meaning "light for life," is a truly special annual event in Evynlore. Across all the lands, stars symbolize the unions formed through marriage, and the constellations represent the ancestral bloodlines of the Delnor people. When two souls pledge their love and merge their elysium light through a marriage vow, a star is born. This newly created star ascends into the sky to become a part of their family's constellation. But you might wonder, which family's constellation does it join? Is it the man's or the woman's?

Well, these family constellations, known as stellariums, reside closer to earth than natural stars. In fact, they hang within the planet's atmosphere and remain fixed in place, unlike real stars that follow the seasons. The Maker himself selects their positions, seemingly tethering them to our world with an invisible string. The Maker's wisdom ensures that each elysium star aligns with both the man and woman's family stellariums, because marriage not only unites families together but simultaneously creates new ones. Now, you might be wondering, how does this celestial alignment occur? To witness a star align within one of these constellations, you must find yourself in the Northern Hemisphere, whereas for the other constellation, a journey to the Southern Hemisphere is required. The Maker maps out the skies and knows the future, including who will be married one day, and so since the beginning of Evynlore he started to paint the skies with elysium stars, creating a map. It is said that when the map is completed, sorrow will be no more, and that the map written in the heavens, will lead to paradise.

The Ruling Constellations


Among these stellariums, the twelve royal bloodlines hold a unique distinction compared to other Elysium stars in common stellariums. The distinction is that the twelve royal bloodlines belong to The Ruling Constellations, constellations that still exist within Evynlore's atmosphere, but their invisible tethers are not connected to the planet. Instead, they link to real stars, following the seasons in sequence with the zodiac constellations. In the case of royal stellariums, the Elysium star aligns with the highest-ranking bloodline of the new marriage, and does not align with both the man and woman’s family bloodlines, just one. To the Delnor, the term "zodiac" is unfamiliar. They view these stars without any connection to astrology; instead, they hold significance in matters of marriage, royalty, and sovereignty. The Delnor people refer to the zodiac as the Ruling Constellations. Rulers come and go with the seasons of life, like the zodiac come and go with the seasons of the sky.

Each Ruling Constellation is symbolized by an animal crest, which conveys various aspects of each bloodline. This could include the geographic location they claimed as their homeland, character traits mirroring the qualities of the animal, or a deep connection to that particular species through their Delnor Sense, such as the line of dragon tamers and horse trainers. Shadden played a pivotal role in the division of the royal Strightus bloodline, creating twelve new bloodlines. These were named after his nephews and nieces, himself, and his children.

However, it was his uncle Seaphus, who bestowed the animal crests upon the twelve bloodlines, and created a non-bloodline secret society, known as the Silver Swan, designed to be an underground organization to keep an eye on any royals who served the morrs. Seaphus had no bloodline of his own due to him never having been married and having no children, but he left the prophecy and the secret of the Silver Swan society to his great nephew Cygnus, before Seaphus was executed. Thus Cygnus’s bloodline was given the symbol of a swan. A symbol of hope for the future.

Prophecy of The Twelfth Scroll: A New Alzyon


"It is foretold that at the end of time, the abundance of elysium stars, collected over the ages, will illuminate a path which every faithful worshiper of Elëázar will follow. Then Àthêre shall call them to his father's kingdom of Empyrean, whose foundation is built beyond the stars. They will ascend the stars with delight, like a bride ascends to the altar for her groom, and when they reach the Crystal City every heart will rejoice. Indeed, the redeemed will enter Alzyon in those days, free from the grasp of death, and Evynlore will be reborn beneath their feet, devoid of woes and sorrows. When the old is shed and the Maker reshapes Evynlore, Alzyon shall descend from the firmament to grace the land. From that moment on, Evynlore shall be known as New Alzyon, and Elëázar will walk among his people in the flesh, as the eternal king."
