Astral Disciple

Astral Disciples embrace the cosmic mysteries through disciplined study and otherworldly devotion. They see starlight and shadow as two sides of a grand cosmic tapestry. With every ritual, every invocation of astral power, they risk glimpsing forces too vast for mortal comprehension. Their goal is to uncover the universe’s deepest enigmas—knowing full well that to touch the edges of eternity is to walk a fine line between enlightenment and madness.
