The Church of Starry Wisdom is a sinister religion that persists into the present day in many port cities throughout the known world.

The legendary Bloodstone Emperor of the Great Empire of the Dawn, who renounced the gods of Yi Ti and began to worship a black stone that fell from the skies, is believed by some scholars to have been the first High Priest of the Church.[1]. They are known to sing songs to the evening stars, in their scyring tower.

Behind the Scenes

The Church of Starry Wisdom is a reference to the eponymous cult in H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Haunder of the Dark. In the story, the Church worships Nyarlathotep, one of the "outer gods".
