Astra

Founding
Over 100 years ago, a Astrologist looked up at the stars and saw them coming to obliterate the human race and the gods and take physical form. They would destroy the planet and its inhabitants for they saw the poisoned ways of the earth-dwellers and sought it upon themselves to eradicate the world and start over. The Astrologist feared for his life and came to gather 13 great warriors to stop the stars from destroying them. He brought them all together to his seeing glass and said to them, "See the stars are coming together to destroy us! They have looked down upon our people and decided we were not worthy to exist!" Then Bragha Rhun, the warrior of March asked why. The Astrologist cried out in fury and exasperation that one did not have to be a philosopher to see that the world was falling apart. The warriors gazed up at the stars and felt their kindred spirits align with those of the stars. They felt their burning and their hatred and all at once the cosmic blessings fell upon the thirteen. They turned upon the watcher of the skies and cut him down where he stood, spilling out his blood into the seeing well, making the stars shine red in the reflection. They took an oath that their spirits would not rest until the stars where appeased. When they finally died of age after toppling 5 mighty kingdoms they came to Abbadon and did not allow for their souls to be split from their bodies. They fought mightily, but he was a god and severed them all, tossing them into the pit from which they did not exit for 100 years. When they returned, the world had not changed. The stars were still calling for blood and the thirteen answered, entering warriors, reforming and teaching their knowledge to many, creating their cult Astra. We will go to the stars bathed in blood

Zeniths
Their are thirteen priest warriors of Astra who hold the spirits of the original thirteen in the form of runes marked on their foreheads which are known as Zeniths. These tie them to the spirits of the great warriors of the past. This gives them unmatchable fighting ability and the blessing of the stars. No man has yet beaten a warrior priest with the sword.
