The Constellations of Iskitaan
Originally from Enshallen lore, the true origins behind many of the known constellations have been lost to all but the most knowledgeable scholars. But the following stories have become popular because of the sailors who use the stars to navigate by.
Janan - The Citadel
Also known as The Fortress, it is either Rama's home, or the prison in which He Who Must Not Be Named is locked away in. Most believe it is a prison, because Rama lives within the Triad.
Februan - The Spider
A minion of He Who Must Not Be Named, the spider awaits his master's return.
March - The Dragon
An avatar of Rama himself, the Dragon watches over all of Iskitaan.
April - The Dolphin
The Dolphin chases the Ship of Fools across the sky, trying in vain to get them to turn back to Iskitaan.
Mae - The Ship of Fools
Long ago, a ship of foolish men set sail in an attempt to reach the Triad. They have sailed for eons, and though they've finally reached the sky, they are no closer to the Triad.
Juun - The Chalice of Chala
Also known as the Cup of Life, it is within the Chalice that Chala holds the gift of life.
Julae - The Sword of Destiny
Rama placed the Sword in the night sky eons ago, promising that one day a great hero would ascend to the sky and take it down to help mankind.
Augyn - The Scorpion
Another minion of He Who Must Not Be Named, the Scorpion has sworn to chase down and kill the Ferret because of his taunting.
Gorin - The Dragonfly
When Larrid released his Ferret to distract Rama from his task of creating the Sword, Rama created the Dragonfly to distract the Ferret. The Ferrett has chased the Dragonfly ever since, refusing to return home to Larrid.
Septem - Larrid's Ferret
Larrid loosed his ferret upon on the cosmos to hinder Rama's efforts to forge the Sword of Destiny. Unfortunately for Larrid, his ferret has refused to return, and romps the heavens in a merry game of chase with the Scorpion and the Dragonfly.
Octyn - The Crossbow
The favored weapon of He Who Must Not Be Named, it was dropped among the stars when Rama imprisoned him.
Novem - The Hammer and Anvil
The tools Rama used to forge the Sword of Destiny.
Decelyn - The Twins
The Twins are the appointed guards of the Citadel.
The Triad
The triad is the strongest and most prominent of the constellations of the night sky. Because it also happens to always mark the direction of north, it is extensively used by those navigating the seas and frontiers. The Triad isn't associated with any month of the year, because it's power does not change through out the year. There are those who say it marks the directions to Rama's realm.
