L24.4 The Jadestar Cult

-

 The Jadestar Cult - Excerpt from "Records on Schools of Esoteric Thought" by Khunmelde, Lieutenant-Librarian of Khrakagar. Red Chitin-bound, Onyx-scale pages, Quethbug acid ink.

"A cult of Skyreaders who shun the popular doctrine of the Torrid Dark.  They follow an esoteric tradition since the first sighting of the accursed Jade Star which plunged the Spoke into a ten-year long snap of great cold named the Great Cold, coinciding with the execution of their idol, the Saintess in Jade, by the Five Sorcerer Kings of the Petty Kingdoms of Gruntheld, aeons ago.

Due to the association of the Great Cold and the collapse of civilisation, strife, and proliferation of vile Creatures of the Bright, the cult has been banned in numerous polities throughout the Spoke except for the accursed Shrouded Nest, enveloped in its fog of hiemal bright, home to vile Brightkin and perverted Skyreaders seeking to commune with their goddess...."

Skilled riders of nimble Chameleons capable of adhereing the the stalks and leaves of Qelerian plants.  They wield large halberds forged from Bramber, sheperd and reap the herds of Frogstock that make the same plants their pasture. While some prefer a bucolic life of herding Frogstock in groups of three to five, there are a few in who build a much greater kinship with their Chamelons, and are capable of blending into the environment. These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

L24.7 Scintrose

-
 A terrible illness which causes flower-like marks to form on the skin of the infected. These flower-like marks emit colored light which is considered a bad omen by many civilisations save those of the Shrouded Nest whose Saintess was said to have Scintrose across and within her body. As the disease advances, the marks become more detailed, until the point actual Brightflowers actually bloom upon the skin of the infected. At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.
