The Vast Starry Sky

The Vast Starry Sky is one of three Fate Signs that players may select from during character creation. It is the symbol of seers and those who seek to grasp the truths of the world. Within the Palmes Mantra, it embodies "trust[ing] fate to the future," and is represented by The Wings of Fate--an icon depicting a circle with lines radiating downwards and outwards from it in a winglike formation.

Players who select the Vast Starry Sky as their Fate Sign are given +1 Insight at the start of the game, and are typically more intellectually focused. They are purported to "have a part to play in the forces that are beyond our world," and possess Evident Boons like trinkets and baubles connected to the supernatural; or skills and information regarding the workings of supernatural threats. Their Secret Objectives tend to involve confronting, cooperating with, or understanding the supernatural and otherworldly.

Its associated color is blue.

Speculation

 * The Wings of Fate resemble the final form of Grandmaster Azure in the Terra Firma strategy game Attack on Castle High. After realizing that his destiny--determined for him from birth--was to be a supreme power in the past, present, and future, he ascended from his physical form: otherworldly strings of mana latched themselves onto his body from the Expanse, the medium where all universes are contained, connecting him to his other existences across those realms as an infinite being. Ascension to this level of metauniversal awareness is the prerequisite to becoming a Grandmaster in the greater Terra Firma universe: an extremely powerful being capable of manipulating the fabric of reality.
 * While Grandmaster Azure is never depicted as a benevolent being, more of his inner motivations were explored in his Artificial double, Zaffre. He considers the stars to be entities capable of revealing universal truths, and devoted his life to revealing their secrets through the passionate and single-minded study of astromancy. Being born under The First (the first star to appear in the heavens), Azure believed firmly that he was created superior to all other beings in the universe, and that it was his destiny to one day obtain supreme power. While he actively pursues this destiny and takes it upon himself to dispose of potential opposition, his zealous faith in the future overwhelms his consideration for the value of the past and present.
 * It is unknown whether Grandmaster Azure was successfully apprehended after the events of Attack on Castle High; but one of his adversaries--a swordsman named Arthur Cheng Long--managed to ascend to the Expanse himself to pursue him: becoming a new star whose radiant light could reach to the ends of the Expanse. Zaffre, however, maintained good relations with the players and their allies, and assisted them in overcoming the fate Azure attempted to impose on them; following the game's ending, he continues studying the stars as an ally of Castle High and commits to living amicably alongside others.
