Description
The first guide of their Sky: an artificial entity that sought truth and therefore their inconsequence.

Personality
In Birth
- Fascinated by the new discoveries that they make with each subsequent cycle.
- Ponders over their existence, daydreams of a pleasant, calm, future.
- Skeptical of their purpose.
In Cycle
Straightforward and quick to criticise, their attitude proves to be needlessly harsh. They hold deeply ingrained contempt towards the stars, and above all, their creator. Although they appear to be a pessimist upon first glance, at heart, their cynicism is only a means of guarding their waning hope. At times, their underlying fatalist subconsciousness arises; they're afraid of the implications of the samsara, their own purpose, and unsure whether tearing down the cycle will truly bring an end to this hell.
In Finality
- Has lost all faith, all belief in the meaning of “living”. They seek oblivion.
- Deranged and self-destructive.

Stigma
Eurasian Jackdaw
Corvus monedula
The daw gazed up towards the expanse of stars, a realm out of reach on clipped wings. Facing fate, it swore to tear down their everlasting tie and pledge.

Stories
Death
<aside>
- Astria tears into the fabric of the black room, the King’s “sword” in hand — a whale bone, Eden’s second eye, and the death of a star.
- ‘God’ remains silent.
- Astria approaches the horizon and reaches the barrier. They plunge the sword forth.
- The globe is shattered. The stars outside flicker, and the once contained space collapses in on itself.
- A black hole forms, and Astria perishes alongside their Sky. They had broken free of the cycle, defied fate, and grasped freedom with their very own hands.
- In their last moments, they failed to hear the undisturbed laughter of the stars above or glimpse the numerous other globes containing yet more false Skies. Their vessel had long since been pulverised to dust.
