Stars

The stars are celestial bodies of massive size and power that are distributed across the multiverse in innumerable quantities. They are perceived as being giant balls of fiery gas, but in reality, are primordial entities, commonly referred throughout history as gods, left over after the creation of the universe, forever preserved in stasis.

Overview
The stars are small "reflections" of the Prime Mover, the rawest and purest manifestations of it in the physical realm. They act as conduits for the Prime Mover's more transcendent and abstract aspects, and are perceived to hold a direct causal link to it. Their souls are sought after by the Maski Haninoe Dhioe—himself a star that has gained consciousness—who seeks to use them to power his all-powerful army in his quest to rid the world of what he perceives to be the evil that plagues existence.

Nature
Mortals often have difficulty in perceiving otherworldly forms. Their minds are often subject to extreme stress as they struggle to comprehend that which their brains are unsuited to witnessing. To cope with the stress, mortal brains prefer to visualize them as spheres, as such a simple shape is the best way for their senses to process supernatural bodies.

Stars come in many different sizes and colours. Some are colossal in size, easily dwarfing gas giants, while others are smaller than moons. A star's lifespan can be many millions of years old. Many support solar systems and are significant to their inhabitants, who often form religions and cultures around them.

Mythology
Due to being the source of life on the planets that orbit them, they are often incorporated into the myths and beliefs of sentient creatures, most often in the form of benevolent care-giver deities. Such is the significance of stars, that even space-faring creatures continue to worship them, despite knowing full well that they aren't the gods and goddesses that their ancestors thought they were.
