When the living beings of the Aether Continent first prayed to the stars, they unexpectedly received a response.
Those who discovered they could resonate with the stars believed it was a divine miracle. They were called Starwatchers, and began building observatories, constantly searching for the stars that answered them and trying to find traces of the gods among them.
Those unable to resonate with the stars wanted to uncover their secrets for themselves. Calling themselves Astrologers, they could not pray for answers, so they used observatories to chart the stars, understand their patterns, identify constellations, and predict their movements.
But before long, the Astrologers were horrified to discover that many stars they had once thought to be constellations seemed to be drawing closer. A catastrophe that would change the continent was about to arrive.
During the disaster, an unnamed child was struck by a star that called out to them. But instead of dying, they entered a strange space, where a figure who called herself "Mother" gave them a name.
When the child tried to ask about their origins, they discovered that the figure had already left. A strange bronze book had appeared in their arms, and a faint voice seemed to tell them that it contained everything they wanted to know.
The catastrophe also brought great changes to the Aether Continent. Falling stars bestowed the power of the stars upon people, who explored constellations and grew stronger. But that power was also constantly changing the creatures beyond humanity.
The awakening of that newly born Star God seemed to attract the stars' scrutiny, and malice from beyond the world began to turn its gaze toward Aether.
From then on, the nameless Star God began training to become an apprentice Star God, a journal held in their arms.
