Are there any notable constellations in Realistic!Verse? If so, what’re some of the stories attached to them?
There are some notable constellations in my Verse:
The Harper, that is a constellation you can see well from L'Manberg and the Badlands. Its story is that: Long before the Gods and Mortals lived separated there was this one bard, he loved playing his folk-harp for both humans and Gods alike, and most of all he loved playing for the skies above so that the stars didn't feel lonely in moonless nights. His music was so beautiful that not even monsters attacked him at night as he played. And while he was beloved by many there were also people that envied him and how beautiful his music was. So one day as he was playing his folk-harp for the stars, one of this envious people shot him in the heart with a arrow, they got their comeuppance immediately after as the monsters no longer soothed by the music attacked them. And the stars cried for the harper that gave them music and company when no other had ever been as thoughtful of them, they cried and cried and Lady Death ever sweet ever rightful, knowing that the stars' harper's life had been cut short let him join his friends into the sky, so that they would never be alone and his music could never be silenced again.
The Sea Serpent, is a constellation, more of a conjuction of a Aurora-like situation and a constellation, you can have the best view of from near the Castle's Cittadel and also from, well, the sea. Its story is that one of the many beings that lived in the sea, a Sea Serpent, longed to swim up, up among the lights of the sky, that it wasn't content with just swimming in the sea as all its peers for it was bigger, it was older than them, its scales shining like stars, and it wanted to be a part of the sky and not of the feared sea, it wanted to be admired. So on the day the Sky and Sea were at their closest, it swam up and up and up, raising above the waves and up and up and up, its scales fading into clouds of shimmeting light and its spikes turning into a bright line of stars. It got its wish granted and now its the most admired costellation and the one the sailors always search for to be reassured that it will be a good day to sail.
The Crown, is a constellation you can have the best view of from the mountains, it's said to have been the Crown of the King of the Sky and that it was stolen and turned into stars by a capricious Sky God, though in other versions of the story it was the Guardian of the Void that stole it just to cause the Chaos they are so fond of.
The Crow, is a constellation you can have the best view of from basically everywhere during Winter time, it's said that each of the stars that create it is in reality one of the Crows of the Angel of Death and that the Crow itself is his way to always know all that is happening during the deadliest time of the year.
There are some others but I can't think of them from the top of my head right now so feel free to ask if you want to know more
