Astrael

Born of nebulous matter, comet trails and star stuff, Astraels are thought to be the mortal children of Living Stars. Whether this is true, none know; as Astraels have no origin story of their own. As old as the uiverse itself, an Astrael knows that they are made of the very matter that both creates and destroys. The Astrael have always been and always will be. Sometimes this view causes them to be seen as superior and aloof, even by Elven standards.

Astraels know. They love the space they are descended from. They rarely live planetside, preferring the vast expanse of space to the heaviness of gravity. They adore beauty in all its forms, from nature to music to the lights of distant stars.

Ethereal and Strange

An Astrael is a often considered a strange sight to most, drawing stares where they walk from members of other races. They tend to be taller than the average human, ranging from around 6 feet tall to just over 7 feet. They are slenderly built, usually weighing between 100 and 200 pounds. Males and females are about the same height and build and it is often hard for other races to tell the difference between them.

Astrael coloration always reflects their origins in some way. They have wide eyes that often shine with starlight, and while they have noses, they are not a protruding appendage as with most other races. Their skin can appear in a range of colors, often appearing as though scattered with nebulous matter, the trails of solar flares or even the sparkling ice of a comet trail. Most are bald, though they can grow hair (usually in bright shades) if they wish.

Astraels prefer to dress simply, allowing their natural coloration to be enhanced by their clothing, not diminished.

Eternal Perspective

Contrary to popular belief, Astraels are not immortal. They share a lifespan similar to Elves, living on average around 7 to 800 years, though they can live longer. To live to be 1000 is an auspicious year and is widely celebrated.

With this longer view of the world Astraels tend toward calm patience rather than quick action. They are more likely to be logically inclined rather than impulsive, and are more insightful than judgemental. When pursuing a goal, learning a new skill or preparing for an event they can become single-minded in their focus, making them detail oriented if a bit forgetful.

Astraels love to explore and expand known horizons. They are capable in the face of danger, and yet are willing to explore all avenues before commiting to violence. When provoked they can be brutal and unforgiving.

To the Stars

Astraels are born and raised in small conclaves in distant corners of the galaxy. Some call the backs of comets home, others live in asteroid belts. Many are born on ships and never set foot planetside in their lives. This makes finding their homes difficult, giving them a natural protection from those that would invade and destroy.

Astraels encountered planetside and within societies not their own tend to be more curious than average. They either wish to explore new frontiers not offered by their home conclave, or are fascinated by the creations of other races and hve chosen to live among them for a time in order to learn.

Astrael Names

Astraels are considered children until the age of 50, and young adults until the age of 100 when they are deemed old enough to decide their own plaths.

During their childhoods they are known by names given by their parents. On the day they decide their path in life they choose a new name to be known by. Child-names are used thereafter only by family and close intimate friends. Sometimes the adult name of an Astrael is taken on as an exstension of their child-name in a similar way as a surname is for a human, though it is distinctly theirs and does not represent their family.

Little distinction exists between male and female names, for Astraels tend toward names of celestial bodies and other space-associated names.

Child Names. Tauri, Eri, Lyrae, Ursa, Cygni, Altair, Aquila, Atria, Beid, Caph, Dalem, Fulu, Imai, Matar, Mira, Naos, Rigel, Sarin, Tabit, Tiaki.

Adult Names. Cephei, Alcyone, Leonis, Almaaz, Eridani, Bharani, Copernicus, Eltanin, Gnomeisa, Haedus, Kornephoros, Maasym, Merope, Pleione, Proxima, Rastaban, Sadalbari, Sirius, Toliman, Veritate.

Astrael Traits

Your Astrael character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years living in the vast expanse of space.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2.

Age. Astraels reach physical maturity around the age of 50, they are not truly considered adults until the beginning of their first century and most adults that wander alone are often at least 200 years old.

Alignment. Astraels love space and exploration. They adore variety, beauty and new experiences. They value freedom above all else, and they are more often neutral than not and rarely ever turn toward evil.

Size. Astraels range from 6 to over 7 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. Accustomed to the darkness of space and the twilight of distant stars, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Void Resistance. You have resistance to Cold damage.

Voidwalker. You were born in the cradle of the void, and your body has adapted to its conditions. While you are in space you can hold your breath for a number of hours equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1). Additionally, you do not need a device to propel you through the void and can move on your own.

Lightborn. You know the starfire cantrip. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Celestial.

Subrace. Three subraces of Astrael exist: starborn, cometborn and nebulaorn. Choose one of them for your character.

Starborn

As a starborn Astrael you are inclined to patience and to give others the benefit of the doubt. In the Tarsys Galaxy, starborn are the most prone to wandering and thus are the most common variety.

Starborn are more prone to wandering than other Astrael, and can often be found dwelling in places where schools and universities allow for learning and teaching.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Starlight. Your skin naturally produces dim light in a 5-foot radius around you as though glimmering with starlight. You can suppress this ability with an action.

Additionally you can transfer this light to another living being by touching them and using your action to do so. This effect lasts for 1 hour.

Cometborn

Cometborn are always on the move. They are naturally curious and tend toward exploration despite the risks. They make great archaeologists, anthropologists and sometimes produce mercenaries.

Cometborn don't often wander from their conclaves, as comets move through the heavens on their own. This allows them to get their fill of adventure from the comfort of home. The few that do leave often do so out of curiosity of another race or lifestyle.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Deftness of Foot. You are always in motion, even when you seem still. As and action on your turn you can temporarily make yourself appear to be standing still by leaving an afterimage in your place. You become invisible when you move until the beginning of your next turn. This invisibility ends early if you attack or cast a spell.

Once you have used this ability you cannot use it again until you have completed a short or long rest.

Nebulaborn

Nebulaborn are the most reclusive of all Astrael. Content with their homes on the fringes of space they rarely leave their homes. While still curious, they value family first and discovery second.

Nebulaborn are rare among the other races and hate going planetside. When forced to endure the harsh gravity of most planets, they try to do so for the shortest amount of time possible.

Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

One With Space. You have the ability to become one with your surroundings. You have advantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks in dim light or darkness and can attempt to Hide in these conditions even when you have nothing with which to obscure yourself. If you are in space when you use this ability, you become virtually invisible to anyone with a passive Perception of 15 or lower.

Tarsian Backgrounds

The Player's Handbook and other resources provided by Wizards of the Coast provide a wonderful selection of backgrounds for you to choose from. The following section provides a few additional options specific to Tarsys.

Similar to the section provided in the Player’s Handbook, the backgrounds listed below provide proficiencies, languages, and equipment, as well as a background feature and sometimes a variant form. For personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws, most of the backgrounds in this chapter use a thematically similar background in the Player’s Handbook or Sword Coast Adventure Guide as a foundation.

Planetary Settler

Whether you chose to head to the frontier with the hope of a better life or grew up on a Rimworld, you have grown to be a determined and resilient person. You spent your formative years learning skills that will help you throughout your life. Now you are ready to leave your planet for the next adventure, be that settling a new world or exploring deep into the outer reaches of the galaxy.

You have the soul of a true explorer, and that shows in how you live your life. You might follow Horula, the god of adventure and navigation. Or Salar, determined to protect your fellow settlers. You may be a lover of the good, green earth and follow the path of Seela, the green mother. Whomever you choose to follow, you know that your diety walks with you and each step you take expands the horizon for future generations.

Feature: I Can Fix That

As a frontiersman you are viewed as determined, stalwart and reliable. Common folk view you as one of the best examples of who they are and you fit in among them without effort. You can find a place to rest or recuperate free of charge in exchange for a simple favor, such as performing a few tasks around the house. Folk will shield you from the law or anyone searching for you so long as it poses no threat to them.

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Outlander background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying where appropriate to suit your identity as a planetary settler.

Your bond is likely associated with whatever Rimworld you helped settle or were raised on. Your ideal probably involves making your mark and creating a lasting legacy for future generations.

Omen-Bound

Transcending beyond race, class or lifestyle are those that become omen-bound. Often pitied by those who have never experienced it, the omen-bound do not see themselves as cursed or unfortunate. You have been chosen by one of the gods to fulfill a task that you are uniquely qualified for. Anything from helping a faithful cleric fulfill a mission to transporting a powerful artifact to helping a settlement recover from disaster, your task guides your footsteps.

Your task is one that has become deply personal to you, and you cannot rest until you have completed it. Until your task is finished you are bound to one specific diety and under their direction.

Skill Proficiencies: Religion, plus one from among Arcana, History and Insight.

Languages: Celestial

Feature: Insightful Prayer

Choose randomly to determine the kind of task to which you are omen-bound from the table below. Work with your Dungeon Master to come up with details: Why were you chosen for your task? Why is it important? Which deity are you bound to? You might prefer your DM to invent these details as part of the game, allowing you to learn more about your omen-bound task as your character does.

The Dungeon Master is free to use your omen-bound task as a story hook, sending you additional clues on how to complete your task or even throwing enemies at you that wish to prevent you from fulfilling your task.

As a part of your task you have the ability to ask your deity for aid through prayer. Your DM determines how helpful, cryptic or even whether or not your recieve an answer at all. You can use this ability to commune with your diety at any time, even if your question does not directly affect your task.

2-3	Locate a missing person
4	Provide aid to a rimworld settlement
5-6	Provide aid to a Cleric or Paladin
7	Deliver an important message
8	Escort a person or artifact

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Folk Hero background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying where appropriate to suit your identity as an omen-bound travler.

Your bond might be directly linked to your task, or the diety from whom you recieved it. Your ideal might be influenced by what you hope to accomplish when your task is completed.

Asteroid Miner

You are a union member that works hard day-to-day to harvest rare metals from asteroids. You are a skilled engineer whose skills have elevated you to a skiff-barge to harvest starfire. You are an overseer of a mining fleet or a manager making sure that precious cargo gets where it needs to get.

While most miners are Dwarves or even Gnomes, not all of them are. Some come to seek fortune, others an honest wage. Either way, you are no stranger to hard work and honest labor.

Mining Specialty

Mining an asteroid belt is no small feat. Miners may come in all shapes and sizes, but each one has a speciality. Your specialty can be determined by the sort of miner you were or by rolling on the table below. Each specialty grants a different skill proficiency.

Specialties

Feature: Rumor Mill

You come from the most common of folk the galaxy over: the miners. Miners tend to congregate in favorite local taverns to drink after a hard shift and share stories. Your ability to blend in among these common folk gives you the ability to get information from them without arounsing suspicion.

Commoners are happy to talk to you, willingly sharing stories and rumors about town. If you buy someone a drink, they may even be willing to share more in depth information with you, though you didn't hear it from them.

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Guild Artisan background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying where appropriate to suit your identity as an asteroid miner.

Your bond might have something to do with the mining company you worked for or the people you worked with. Your ideal might be influenced by your amibitions to make a comfortable wage as a manager or even shareholder.

University Student

You are one of the lucky few who have been accepted to the University Arcanum on Brighthaven to recieve a higher education. Whether you chose to study magic, science or the space where the two of them meet, your education was first-class in every respect. With access to the finest minds in the galaxy and the largest library ever built, you have been fortunate in your endeavors to learn.

You might have been an apprentice to a great Sage, or the assistant to an innovative Engineer. You may have learned medicine from the best healers at the Medicae, or done research on obscure aritfacts for a Spellwright. You could have spent some time as an assistant Librarian or learning the art of the Alchemist.

Whatever your field of study, you have recieved the best of educations.

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, History

Languages: Gnomish plus one of your choice.

Equipment: A writing kit (pouch with a quill, ink, folded parchment, and a small penknife), a library book on the subject of your choice, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.

As a graduate of the University Arcanum, you have access to people and places that you would not otherwise have. You have a permanent membership to the Library Arcanum, allowing you to check out books at any of the Library's hubs without paying standard fees. This does not exclude you from late fees or fees attached to checking out more than the usual allotment of two at a time.

You can also gain an introduction to local wizards, engineers and healers that would otherwise turn you away. They are willing to give advice or aid in small ways so long as your request does not interfere with their own field of research or practice.

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Sage background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying where appropriate to suit your identity as an alumnis.

Your bond might have to do with the masters you studied under or the university itself. Your ideal might be influenced by something you wish to accomplish in your life.

Voidwatch Veteran

Established in the year 522 of the 4th Age at the end of the Voidbreach War, the Voidwatch is is the only military force in the galaxy that draws soldiers from every race and creed across the galaxy. Led by a Commander selected by Alkaid himself, the Watch stands as an indepentant military organization similar to a mercenary company. The Voidwatch serves as the first and last line of defense between the Tarsys Galaxy and the creatures that lurk in the Void.

Whether you volunteered or were conscripted, you have served at least one tour with the Voidwatch out of Alkaid's Favor and were lucky enough to survive. You may have served on a warship patrolling the edge of the Void, or perhaps you were stationed on Alkaid's Favor or on one of the escort ships that accompanies the Living Star Askella as she vigilantly patrols the edges of that black abyss. No matter your posting, your time spent in the Watch, looking skyward for threats to the galaxy have marked you forever.

Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Athletics

Tool Proficiencies: Vehicles (space)

Languages: Choose one from Celestial or Abyssal

Equipment: An unadorned uniform of equal quality to Traveler's Clothes, an insignia of rank, a letter of mark from your commanding officer, and a pouch containing 15 go.

Term of Service

The method in which you were brought to serve in the Watch shapes your experience within it, allowing different opportunities and shaping your time in the service. Your term of service can be dertermined by rolling on the table below. Each term of service grants a specialized feature as listed below.

Term of Service

d4	Service Type	Feature
1	Volunteer	Reliable Sword
2	Conscript	Boots on the Ground
3	Comission	Trusted Face
4	Transfer	Experienced Eye

Feature: Reliable Sword

You volunteered for this madness, and people respect that about you. When you left the watch, you most likely did so as a noncommissioned officer of some standing, or perhaps were even granted a battlefield comission for bravery in the face of the enemies you've fought. This respect extends beyond military structures, allowing you to seek aid from other veterans of every stripe, no matter their current buisiness. This aid could come in any form, such as a free night's lodging at an inn or information from a city watchman who might otherwise be disinclined to trust a civilian.

Feature: Boots on the Ground

As a conscript, you were shoved immediately into the meat grinder of combat. Having seen the grittiest side of the Watch, you've seen battle in multiple environments, including in space. You are sure-footed and quick on your feet, allowing you to ignore difficult terrain in these environments. Work with your DM to determine which terrains your have this advantage in, choosing one for every four years you served in the Watch.

Feature: Trusted Face

As a former comissioned officer, you have expeirence leading men in combat. Your time in the Voidwatch was spent learning not only to lead soldiers, but also to act in an unofficial capacity as an investigator into strange happenings around the edges of the Void. Soldiers of every stripe may still recognize your rank and veterans of militaries, mercenary companies and city watches will be more inclined to trust your word even if they've never met you before. Some may even seek you out for aid in dire situations.

Feature: Experienced Eye

You spent several years within a standard military organization before you were transferred to the Watch. This experience allowed you to begin your service in a favored position, perhaps even as a noncomissioned officer. Your time spent in and out of other military structres allows you a unique perspective that will aid you in gaining access to places and people that might otherwise ignore your rank or term of service.

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Soldier background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying where appropriate to suit your identity as a voidwatch veteran.

Your bond could be associated with the unit you served with or the ship you served on. Your ideal could be based on a determination to protect the innocent from the darkness of the void, or possibly an equal determination to avoid the things you encountered during your time in the watch.

Medic

You are one of an elite class. Your compassion for the plights of others has driven you to a life of service in the thankless field of healing. You have seen both the best and the worst of society, and this has shaped you.

You may have spent years studying to become a doctor or a nurse. Perhaps you spent time working as an orderly, lab technician or a physician's assistant. No matter your occupation, you spent some of the defining years of you life working in or around the medicaes of the galaxy and you are no stranger to hard, thankless work.

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Medicine

Tool Proficiencies: Healer's Kit

Languages: One of your choice, coinciding with the local dialects of the community where your medicae was located.

Equipment: a healer's kit, a book on common diseases, a healer's robe, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.

Feature: The Truth of the Matter

Your time spent in and around medicaes has given you a unique perspective on the mortal condition. While you may or may not be good with people, you are good at observing them. Given enough time, you are able to determine a creature's general state of wellbeing. The amount of time you take to observe a creature determines the information you learn. For every fifteen minutes you spend observing a creature, you can learn one of the following pieces of information: whether they are ill or injured, their level of exhaustion, what conditions they are affected by (if any) and if they are affected by a curse (and how severely).

Suggested Characteristics

Some medics become heavily jaded and begin to resent the thankless work they have heaped upon them. Others embrace their work, becoming more compassionate with each year that passes. Whether you enjoyed your time as a healthcare worker or not, your time at your medicae helped define you.

They inspire trust in the common folk, lending impartial ears to conflicts between offended parties and even serving as judges in a pinch. Among nobles they are considered trusted advisors and moral guides.

Creating an engineer's assistant requires you to have enough materials on-hand to create one. These materials consist of small sheets of metal, screws, gears and wires. Each assistant reqires a starfire crystal to power it. A Small assistant requires enough components equal to 50 gp, and a Tiny one requires 25 gp. An assistant created with this feature lasts until your next long rest.

Once you cast either spell with this feature, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

School of Astromancy

The School of Astromancy emphasizes magic powered by the molecules that creates and binds all matter in the universe. You can harness the gravity of a black hole or the solar winds that come off a system's sun. As an Astromancer, you strive to learn the secrects of the void between planets and the matter and energy created within so that you might come to a fundanmental understanding of all life in the universe.

Planetary Remnant

Starting at 2nd level when you select this school, you can use your action to surround yourself in nebulous matter, obscuring you from sight and imposing disadvatage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to see you.

Once you have used this feature you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Ecliptic Soul

Starting at 6th level, if an attack by a hostile creature would hit, you can use your reaction to eclipse yourself in their sight, choosing from the options below.

Solar Eclipse. Radiant light flares around you and the creature that hits you takes fire damage equal to 1 + your Intelligence Modifier.

Lunar Eclipse. You become briefly invisible and the creature that targeted you has disadvantage on the attack roll. You remain invisible until the beginning of your next turn.

Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Under the Moon

Starting at 10th level, your studies into the movements of celestial bodies and the phases of a moon allow you to benefit from their effects. When you do so, choose one of the following effects, which lasts until you are incapacitated or you take a short or long rest.

Wolf Moon. As an action you can cleanse yourself of one conidition, poison or disease that is affecting you. You may use this ability up to a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).

Cold Moon. You gain advantage on strength based skill checks and saving throws.

Dark Matter

Starting at 14th level, you have learned enough about the universe to weave dark matter into your spells. You have a pool of d6's equal to 1/2 your wizard level rounded down. When you cast an astromancy spell of 1st level or higher you can choose to expend any number of these d6's. Roll the d6's and add the number you roll to the spell's damage.

Every time you use this ability you must make an Intelligence saving throw versus your spell save DC. On a failed save you take force damage equal to half the damage you rolled.

Otherworldly Patron

Living Star

Your patron is a creature of enormity that is made of the base matter that creates all life in the universe. One step below godhood, a living star is not a being easily crossed. You have bound yourself to them in the hopes that they might share their knowledge of creation and the wider universe with you.

Being connected to such immense power and light can cause changes in your appearance, your beliefs and even your behavoir. You might find that your skin is scattered with stardust or that your eyes glow like distant stars. You might find yourself unconcerned with the affairs of other mortals, seeing conflicts among them as beneath you, or you may crave adventure and new experiences that exploration provides. You long for the vastness of space and crave the endless possibilities therin even as you strive to bring greater understanding of the universe to the smaller races.

Bonus Cantrip

At 1st level, you learn the starfire cantrip. It counts as a warlock cantrip for you, but it does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Star's Course

Starting at 1st level, your connection to the stars allows to borrow energy from them, granting you the ability to breathe normally in space as well as to move through the vacuum normally at your walking speed. Additionally you gain resistance to Cold damage and darkvision out to 60 feet if you do not have it.

Penumbral Embrace

Starting at 6th level, your link to the Living Star allows you to slip into the spaces between light and darkess. You can use your action to slip into the Between and move up to your speed in any direction, reappearing in an unoccupied space within range at the beginning of your next turn. If you begin this turn next to a hostile creature your next attack against them has advantage.

Starshine

Starting at 10th level, your patron has taught you to find your own inner light. As an action on your turn you can bring this light into the visible spectrum, shedding bright light in a 15-foot-radius and dim light for an addition 15 feet. This ability lasts for 1 minute or until you fall unconcious or end it early as a bonus action. A creature that begins its turn within 15 feet of you must make a Constituition saving throw or be blinded until the beginning of its next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Nebulous Presence

Starting at 14th level, your body has become composed nearly entirely of star stuff, allowing you to access the energy of the nebula you may one day become. As an action on your turn you create a 10-foot-raduis orb of nebulous energy around yourself for 1 minute.

Share the Void

Prerequisite: Living Star Patron; 5th level

You learn the Void Walk spell and can cast it once per long rest with this ability without expending a spell slot.

Way of the Great Path

Monks who follow the Great Path embrace the journey, not the destination. The discovery and knowing of one's inner self is the most worthwhile journey one can embark on. A monk of the Path is a master of self-discipline, allowing for clarity of mind and the observation of one's opponents even in the most extreme of circumstances.

Walking the Great Path is not an easy journey, but as the Great One once said: "The universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing we can ever truly control... whether we are good or evil."

Bonus Proficiencies

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn to still your mind in stressful situations. You gain proficiency in the Insight and Perception skills if you do not already have them. You gain Expertise in these skills beginning at level 6.

Clarity of Mind

Starting at 3rd level, your increased observational skills mean that you cannot be surprised in combat and may act normally on your first turn. Additionally, you may add your Wisdom modifier to your Initiative rolls.

Depth of the River

At 6th level, you gain the ability to use your ki to still the world around you (or perhaps accelerate yourself) for a brief moment. Immediately after you take the attack action on your turn, you can spend 2 ki points to cast the misty step spell as a bonus action.

You can spend additional ki points to increase the distance you teleport by 30 feet for each ki point you spend. The maximum number of ki points that you can spend equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

The Candlelight is Fire

At 11th level, your journey on the Great Path has allowed your soul to burn brightly within you. As an action, you bring that light forward, allowing you to radiate an aura of calm in a 30-foot-radius around yourself for 1 minute as though concentrating on a spell.

For the duration, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you gain Truesight while this aura is active.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier and regain all uses once you have completed a long rest.

Enlightened Mind

At 17th level, you have learned the best and the worst of yourself, gaining resistance to Psychic damage and making you immune to the Charmed effect.

Oath of Horizons

The Oath of Horizons is a solemn vow sworn before the gods to forsake duty to family and nation to protect the whole of the realms and every creature within. Sometimes called Stargazers, Starwalkers, or Horizoners, paladins who swear this oath have sworn to bear the weight of civilization upon thir shoulders and bouy it up. They walk the lonely road of the traveler, seeking out the darkness where it tries to reclaim worlds from the light.

Paladins of this Oath fight monsters at the edges of the world so that those living in it never have to. To the core worlds, these paladins are ghost stories told alongside the monsters they fight. To frontiersmen, they are very real and desperately needed.

Tenets of Horizons

The tenets of the Oath of Horizons varies paladin to paladin depending on the patron to whom they make their vow. Fundamentally, the oath remains at it's core the same, and revolves around the same values.

The Many. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

The Few. Whenever possible, the few deserve the kindness of a swift death, and the justice of being avenged.

The Path. Roads connect civilizations and must remain protected wherever possible to prevent broken connections.

Carry That Weight. I make the hard choices and sacrifices I do so that others don't have to.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed below.

Oath of Horizons Spells

Paladin Level	Sells
3rd	detect evil and good, shield of faith
5th	aid, calm emotions
9th	crusader's mantle, void walk
13th	death ward, fermi's bubble
17th	dispel evil and good, gravity well

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

A Degree of Certainty. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer of cofidence, using your Channel Divinity. Choose one creature within 60 feet of you that you can see. For one minute that creature becomes immune to the Fear effect, and is unaffected by difficult terrain for the duration.

Awaken to Wonder. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to present your holy symbol and utter a phrase you have learned from the Song of Creation. You become surrounded in a haze of dazzling star stuff and creatures within 30 feet of you that can see you fall under the effects of the hypnotic pattern spell with the following changes:

• The pattern moves with you.
• Creatures that enter the haze for the first time on your turn must make the saving throw or fall under its effect.
• At the end of your turn, any creature that is no longer within the haze is no longer under its effect and may act as normal on their next turn.

Aura of Pragmatism

Starting at 7th level, your pragmatism in the face of the enemy never wavers, enabling you to share this frame of mind with others. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against traps, spells and other magical effects.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Dance With the Devil

Starting at 15th level, you have learned the delicate balance needed to walk the line of hard decisions. You are always under the effect of a freedom of movement spell.

True Guardian

At 20th level, you have stared into the abyss, and it has stared back at you, granting you the ability to stand unflinching under its gaze and allowing you to awaken your own Song of Creation.

Using your action, you undergo a transformation. Your hair becomes strands of sunlight, your eyes the black of black holes and your skin radiates stardust and moonlight. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• Your speed is doubled and you are no longer affected by the void of space, allowing you to move freely.
• Whenever you hit a creature with a melee or spell attack, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or become ensnared in the Song. The creature immediately takes 6d8 psychic damage and their speed is reduced to 0 for the duration.
• As a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can cause the creature that failed its saving throw the previous round to take an additional 2d8 psychic damage.

Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Voidborn

You were born within the fringes of that great, terrible rend in space known as the Void. As such, the absence of light at the moment of your birth changed you fundamentally. The deep, cold loneliness of space and the void is comfortable to you, leaving you feeling awkward and heavy on the surface of any planet. Your face is tilted ever upward, seeking out the stars and darkness to which you were born.

All things have substance, but you were born to see beauty in the absence of light. This has affected your body and mind, allowing you to walk through and harness the liminal spaces of the world and look the creatures that live there in the eye without losing your mind.

Light as a Feather

Starting at 1st level, your bone density and muscle mass are less than they should be for a person of your size, though neither of these things affect your health. You weigh 1d4 x your constitution modifier less than you should. Your jump distance also increases by the amount of weight that is missing. Additionally, you gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, the range increases to 120 feet.

When you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn to harness your decreased mass to your advantage. You learn the levitate spell, which doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. In addition, you can cast it by expending 2 sorcery points or by expending a spell slot. If you cast it with sorcery points, you have some control of your trajectory. For the duration of the spell, as a bonus action on your turn, you expel arcane energy from your hands or feet, allowing you to direct your momentum in a specific direction momentarily.

Liminal Affinity

Starting at 1st level, your affinity for the places in-between allows you to fold the distance between two points of liminal space, such as two doorways or two shadows. On your turn, if you are standing in, or move into, a liminal space, you can use your movement to instantaneously teleport into another liminal space that you can see within 30 feet of you. Doing so costs you five feet of movement for every 10 feet you travel, as though it is difficult terrain.

Strengthened Soul

At 6th level, you gain resistance to cold damage, and you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Whispers in the Dark

At 6th level, you have learned to decipher the strange speech of the creatures that live in-between. While your knowledge of the language is rudimentary at best, you have enough command of it to beckon those that speak it to your bidding. As an action, you can expend 1 to 5 sorcery points to create a breach into the liminal world at a point within 5 feet of a target you can see within 60 feet of you, allowing one of the unfathomable beings to reach through the breach and strike at your target. Make a spell attack roll against the target. On a hit the target takes damage equal to 1d8 for each sorcery point expended. Consult the table below to determine the form your attack takes, and the type of damage caused.

d6	Form of Attack	Damage Type
1	a jet of a strange, caustic substance	acid
2	a spike of ice	cold
3	a ghastly clawed hand	slashing
4	a writhing tentacle	bludgeoning
5	a long, barbed stinger	poison
6	a grasping, babbling limb with a hundred mouths	piercing

Voidal Stare

At 14th level, you have stared into the Void, and it has stared back, creating an understanding between you and it, and allowing you to channel the sheer stillness and horror of the Void and project it upon another creature. When you or a friendly creature within 30 feet of you is hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to turn you gaze and the horror of the Void on the attacker. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target of your stare takes psychic damage equal to your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier and is stunned until the end of their next turn. On a success, the creature takes the damage, but is not stunned.

The Absence of Light

Beginning at 18th level, you have harnessed the darkness within yourself, allowing you to transform yourself into a liminal space temporarily in order to channel the nothing through yourself. As an action, you can spend 6 sorcery points to open your mind and body to the Void. All light and atmosphere within 30 feet of you is immediately extinguished as you consume them, allowing you to become other. You increase as darkness radiates from you and you begin to project tentacles and extra limbs from your body, creating the following effects.

• You increase in size by one category.
• You gain an unarmed attack using the extra limbs you have grown. Make a spell attack roll against a target within 5 feet if you. On a hit, the creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d10 + your Charisma modifier.
• Each creature within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d10 cold damage and is blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. On successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

This transformation lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, knocked unconscious, or you dismiss it using a bonus action.

Circle of Harmony

Druids who are members of the Circle of Harmony have attuned themselves to the Song of Creation. They have an instinctive, deeper understanding of the weave and whim of fate that most, and dedicate themselves to the maintenance of the harmony of the world. For all things there is a season, and all things taken must be given back. Druids of this circle tend to seek out places where the natural order of things has been disrupted in order to restore balance. They serve as guides and guardians, working to bring balance between the swift innovation of civilization and the timeless wonder of nature.

Circle Spells

Your insight into the Song of Creation grants you access to certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the guidance cantrip. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Harmony table.

Once you gain access to these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Circle of Harmony Spells

Druid Level	Circle Spells
2nd	expeditious retreat, gift of alacrity
3rd	borrowed knowledge, fortune's favor
5th	haste, motvational speech
7th	divination, elmental bane
9th	commune with nature, legend lore

Disruptive Discord

Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to sense places where dissonance in the Song of Creation exists. You gain blindsight with a range of 20 feet, and you have advantage on Wisdom (perception) and Intelligence (investigation) ability checks to locate invisible or hidden objects.

Weft and Weave

Starting at 6th level, you have gleaned enough understanding of fate to soften its blows. You cannot be surprised in battle, and you can add your Wisdom modifier to your initiative rolls.

Beyond the Material

Starting at 10th level, you gain the ability to access the Song of Creation and use it in favor of yourself and others. As a bonus action, you grant yourself or one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you truesight. The sight has a range of 30 feet and lasts for up to 10 minutes. It ends early if you lose concentration on it, you are knocked unconcious, or you dismiss it early as a bonus action.

Harmonious Arc

Starting at 14th level, you have refined your attunement to the fabric of the world. By doing so, you gain the ability to intervene at crucial moments. When a creature that you can see within 120 feet of you is hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to intervene before the blow lands. Choose another creature that you can see within range. That creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the chosen creature and the target of the attack instantaneously switch places and the attack hits the new target. On a successful save, both creatures remain where they are.

If the creature being subjected to the inital attack is unwilling, you can try to force the swap and they must also make the saving throw, staying where they are on a success.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Calendar and Holidays

Solar Systems

Rimworlds

Alkaid's Favour

This planetoid is the topmost entity in the constellation of Alkaid. The rest of the constellation consists of a blue dwarf star, two massive stars, a red giant and five mid-size stars. The constellation is considered by many to be the remnants of the event that brought the God of Knowledge into the world, and is considered sacred by many who worship the Father of Stars.

The area of space occupied by the constellation sits right on the edge of the Outer Worlds, and Alkaid's Favour itself is the closest known settlement to the Void between the Rim and the Outer Worlds.

The Favour started out as a specially designed monastary dedicated to Alkaid which has grown over the years to become not only a sanctuary for all, but a bastion of education and research in the region with a reputation to rival that of the University Arcanum on Brighthaven.

Fairfall

Fairfall is often called the last bastion of civilization. It lies just beyond the gateway of known space into what is called the Rim. Fairfall doesn't offer much in terms of scenery, being a dirt-ball for the most part with an arid, high desert climate, but it is the last true refueling station before hitting contested space.

Hipparcos

Hipparcos is a moon settled into orbit around a rather attractive gas giant known as Ellmuthalleth. Hipparcos itself is a very active outpost; and while there is nothing notable about the moon itself, the people that live there certainly make up for it.

Hipparcos is a well-established mining colony whose operations are focused on the uninhabitable gas giant it orbits. Its main export is Starfire. Additionally, the Adventurer's League has an outpost here as well.

Pell

This planet is rather on the small side, but isn't quite small enough to be considered a dwarf planet. It is the only planet orbiting its star and has a single moon.

The surface of the planet is mostly mountainous with vast forests and only one sea. The settlement on Pell is tiny, as it attracts very few settlers or travelers of any kind, and equally, few ever leave.

Pell's main export is the Deloffre brand of wines, which are reputably very good if a touch expesive due to the distance the wine must travel to reach settled space.

Feywild

The Feywild within the world of Tarsys is not really another Plane of Eixistence so much as it is a neighboring Galaxy within the wider Universe. It is a barred spiral galaxy and the space between it at Tarsys is vast and dangerous to cross. Expert sailors are required to traverse the emptiness between the two galaxies.

Plane Shifting spells work in order to travel to the Feywild, but only in certain capacities. For example, if you case plane shift or arcane gate you have to have been to the place you are going and that location must have an anchor point for the spell to take.

In the case of transport via plants, the spell is not as limited in the Feywild as it is in Tarsys, and does not have to be linked between Druid Circles to go between solar systems.

Anchor Points are locations where circles of rune-etched standing stones have been erected across the Feywild and occasionally in Tarsys. No one in living memory knows who built the circles. There are rumors that a few of the Archfey know, but if they do they aren't telling anyone. These anchored locations allow for Plane Shifting between galaxies.

Shadowfell

There is a lot of debate among Tarsys' scholars on whether or not the Shadowfell is another Plane of Existence or another Galaxy within the Universe. In truth, it is both in some respects. While for the main part, the Shadowfell remains a separate Plane from the Material, there are certain aspects of it that swallow planets or systems. These sections of the Material Plane are typically on the fringes of Inner space and deep within Outer space.

An example of a swallowed planet is Tenebrous, a tiny planet just beyond the Rim that exists in both places at once. Tenebrous is thoroughly part of the Shadowfell, but can be traveled to via ship and without magic. These planets are often considered pockets of the Shadowfell, such as Strahd's prison from the Curse of Strahd adventure module.

Since planets like this are considered to be both, they are natural transition points between the two Planes and can be used to travel between the two Planes without magic.

There are portals to the shadowfell that link to these places from other worlds that can be used to transition from Material to Shadowfell. If one is used, unless the user knows the portal goes to such a planet, they will be unable to discern that they are also in the Material Plane after transitioning.

The Void

Out at the edge of the Galaxy, between the edges of known space and the Outer Realms there is a tear in the fabric of the Universe. It is thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide. Rather like a claw mark rent into the fabric of reality, this Void is a view into the absence of anything.

The Void is a place of untold danger for travelers. To travel through it is to risk life and limb. A ship can travel through the Void to reach the other side unharmed, or it could travel through the Void into Limbo, the Astral Sea, the Shadowfell, the Abyss or even the Realm Beyond.

Star Spawn are native to the Void and their campaign to take over Tarsys originates from being birthed from a place of nothing.

Aboleths can come from the Void. These Aboleths, unlike their water-dwelling cousins, are space-faring beings that swim among the stars.

Mind Flayers have been known to use the Void to hide from their eternal enemies the Gith. They, unlike many other races, have learned to navigate and even appreciate the Void.

Astral Dreadnughts sometimes find their way into the Void and easily adapt to it. They spend their time devouring anything unfortunate enough to find itself there.

Other Monsters. Anything that is native to Limbo, the Astral Sea, the Shadowfell or the Abyss can naturally transition between their home Plane to Material Plane using the Void. Most don't, as they are unable to adapt to space or the absence of anything within the void. A creature that does not need to breathe does not have this problem.

The Underdark

Some consider the Underdark to be another Plane in Tarsys, others believe it to be a demi-plane that exists solely within the Material Plane. Whichever it is, the Underdark is connected. If you don't make sure to come out the way you went in, you may end up on some other planet somewhere.

The Realm Beyond

The Realm Beyond is an additonal Plane of Existence within the Tarsian campagin setting. It takes the Feywild's place in the map of Planes in the back of the Player's Handbook.

This strange Plane of Existence is the place where the Lovecraftian monsters spawn from. For example, if you're using Sandy Peterson's Cthulhu Mythos book for inspiration and monster stats, this Plane is where they would be from.

Glimmerglass

Deceptive in name, glimmerglass is not, in fact, glass. Called such due to its slick and tansparent qualities, glimmerglass is a material that can only be harvested from the bodies of certain types of deceased fire elementals. The body must be burned at white-hot temeratures so that the surrounding tissues and organs crumble to ash. The extreme exposure to heat over time turns the bones to glimmerglass.

A smoky-glass like material that is beautiful and magical in nature on its own, glimmerglass is popular for jewelry and crystal display pieces. It can be used to make weapons, but due to the delicate nature of unprocessed glass, it can only be used to make things with a blade no longer than a foot. A master smith with experience in forging with starfire is required to make such weapons, making them rare and expensive.

Weapons made with glimmerglass deal an additional 1d4 necrotic damage. Such a weapon can be enchanted with one of the following properties:

Property	Effect
Stunned	A creature must succeed on a DC 13 Consitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of their next turn.
Poisoned	A creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take an additional 1d4 poison damage and become Poisoned for 1 minute.
Cursed	A creature must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or their wound becomes cursed. Their hit point maximum goes down by the amount of damage taken and cannot be restored until they have completed a long rest.

Armor cannot be made with glimmerglass.

Starfire

Starfire is what the element within stars that burns is called. It is a fire that can burn without oxygen, and therefore can burn in space. It is often used to make ranged ammunition for ballistae on ships, as well as surface-to-space weapons. Additionally it is used in the forging for astral engines and refined starfire is used to fuel them.

Contrary to its name, starfire can be found within other celestial bodies, not just stars. In fact, due to a star's volatile nature, most starfire is mined from asteroid belts across the galaxy. Mining for starfire require specialized training and equipment.

Crafting With Starfire. Some smiths and enchanters who are masters in their crafts can harness starfire, allowing them to refine a weapon or item with additional properties. Such items are rare and therefore very expensives.

These properties come in two categories, minor and major. Minor effects can be paired with other minor effects, and a minor effect can be combined with a major effect. Major effects cannot be combined with each other. Items with a major effect require attunement.

Consult the table below for a list of minor and major effects that items made with starfire can have.

Starfire Effects

Effect	Effect Type	Description
Armor	Minor	+1 bonus to AC
Blinding	Major	On a hit, a weapon is accompanied by a blinding flash of light. The target must make a DC 13 Constituion saving throw or be subject to the blindness effect of the blindness/deafness spell.
Cold	Minor	Allows the wearer to cast frostbite.
Flare	Minor	Reisistance to fire damage.
Heatshield	Minor	Resistance to cold damage.
Inflagrate	Major	As a reaction when hit with a weapon attack, the wearer causes the creature that hit them to erupt into flames, dealing 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of the creatures turns for 1 minute.
Shield	Major	Allows the wearer to cast shield once per short rest.
Starfire	Major	A weapon deals an additional 1d6 fire or cold damage.
Starsight	Minor	Gives the wearer darkvision out to 60 feet.

Holy Symbols

Holy symbols in the Tarsys Galaxy are far more meaningful than in most campaigns. Due to the nature of the gods they represent, holy symbols are conduits of communication. It allows the deity it was dedicated to to know where a person is, creating a link between them. It allows for a diety to track their Omen-bound in a more real-time way.

Additonally, a Cleric or Paladin that weilds a holy symbol can conduct the Ceremony spell as a ritual without needing to provide the material components for the spell.

Communion. All Clerics and Paladins can commune with their chosen deity using their holy symbol. Over the course of a short rest, the Cleric or Paladin can meditate, using their holy symbool as a focus on their link with their god. During this communion they can ask questions, have visions or otherwise gain some insight into their current quest or path. The DM determines how the communion happens, and how detailed or cryptic the answers are, but the connection is always made unless something is magically preventing it.

Anyone can commune with their deity, but a Cleric or Paladin devoted to the deity in question is required to serve as a conduit to attempt to speak directly to them

Optional Feature. A character with the Acolyte background may choose to replace their Shelter the Faithful feature with Communion, eliminating the need to have access to a sworn Cleric or Paladin as a conduit and being able to serve as such themselves.

Medical Supplies

A healer's kit is a medic's best friend. Portable and functional, the kit can be used in a myriad of ways to boost certain healing effects... so long as it's kept stocked. You can use to actively heal or cure another creature.

As an action, you can touch a creature within range and provide a healing effect based on what you have stocked in your kit.

A basic healer's kit can be purchased for 5 gp and restocked for half as much, replacing the used items while retaining the permanent ones. You can also stock your kit with additional items, paying for them using the prices listed in the tables below.

In the Kit. Your kit comes with the following items: tweezers, scissors, 10 bandages, 3 surgeon's needles, 1 spool of suture thread, 1 antibacterial spray, 1 styptic spray, 1 pack lozenges, 2 pair surgical gloves.

Collect Them All. In addition to their standard benefits, if you have collected all the items that are permanent from the table below, you gain proficiency with the Medicine skill, or expertise if you are already proficient.

Items Wondrous and Strange

Crystallized Starlight

Wondrous Item, ver rare

This palm-sized crystal is long and narrow and pointed at both ends and is made of a white quartz-like material and glows a pale orange from within. As a source of pure light and magic, this crystal can be used as a universal focus for most spells. It can also be used to power magical doorways, artifacts and other items that can channel power.

Due to the concentration of starlight contained inside the crystal, if something heavy is dropped on it or a creature attempts to smash the crystal, a DC 15 Strength check must be made. On a success, the crystal is smashed, releasing the starlight within in a flash of brilliant radiance.

Each creature in a 60 foot radius of the crystal must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. Each creature in a 30 foot radius of the crystal must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 12d10 radiant damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.

Grav-Boots

Wondrous item, uncommon

These heavy leather boots have dark iron soles. While you are wearing the boots you can use a bonus action to click your heels together and cause the boots to magnetize, allowing you to walk along any metal surface as normal.

Additonal Rules

The following rules are set to help in running a campaign in the Tarsys Galaxy. Due to the nature of the setting and of space, there are certain limitations and additional things that are addressed here.

Character Limitations

Because of the nature of the world this adventure is set in, the following character limitations apply when building your character. Please keep them in mind when considering your options.

Note: If you decide to play a Deep Gnome, Drow or Duregar, please consult your DM, as your options of home planet may be limited.

Unavailable Races

• Dragonborn (Ravenite)
• Dragonborn (Draconblood)
• Plasmoid
• Shapeshifters
• Simic Hybrid
• Thri-Keen
• Verdan

Races With Conditions

Dhampir are creatures that live between things. This makes them vulnerable to some of the dangers of space travel, most notably the radiation of stars. If you choose to play this race, your DM may choose to impose restrictions on where your character originated from in addition to incurring consequences from exposure to solar radiation during space travel such as exhaustion points accrued over weeks or months.

Kalashtar are bound to spirits from the dream world. This makes them vulnerable to the creatures in the Realm Beyond. Your DM may choose to utilize this whenever you take a long rest by giving you sleepless nights, nightmares and even make you roll saving throws to keep your sanity as you dream of the Other.

Unavailable Backgrounds

• Augen Trust
• Faceless
• Faction Agent
• Grinner
• House Agent
• Luxonborn
• Myriad Operative
• Revelry Pirate
• Volstrucker Agent
• Waterdhavian Noble

Backgrounds With Conditions

Dragonmarks may be used on a case-by-case basis with adjustments made for the origin of such marks. Your DM may decide to reduce your options for race or planetary origin.

Ravnica Backgrounds may be used, but must be adjusted to fit the setting. Work with your DM to make these adjustments.

Strixhaven Backgrounds may be used, but must be adjusted to fit with either the University Arcanum or the University Magica. Work with your DM to make this adjustment.

Curses

There are 3 types of curses that exist in the world of Tarsys. Some are easily dealt with, some require divine intervention to break. It is up to your DM to decide which kinds of curses they would like to use and how, why and when to implement them.

Minor Curses are curses such as the kind used when casting the bestow curse spell. These curses might cause minor inconviences such as imposing disadvantage on ability checks, saving throws and attack rolls, or a run of bad luck that causes a character to lose some money. These kinds of minor curses can be cured using a judiciously cast remove curse spell.

Major Curses are much different than minor ones. They can be attached to people or objects and cause much more havok. They can be ambiguously worded such as 'may you live in interesting times' or much more specific like 'every magic item you touch misfires'. These curses cause harm and even death on occasion. To remove a major curse a trained individual needs to perform a curse breaking ritual on the person or item, though occasionally a greater restoration spell has been known to work.

Epic Curses are so imbued with magic and intent that it usually requires a diety's direct intervention to break one. These kinds of curses can be placed on objects and places. They are rarely placed on people, as people who are afflicted by such curses are usually very shortly dead. Epic curses cause harm and even death to everything and everyone in their wake. The saying goes 'You don't break a curse like that, you get out of its way.'

Potions Rule

In order to allow extra flexibility among a group (especially a group with a large number of players) the following rule for potions can help immensely. The rule is:

It takes a bonus action to drink a potion yourself, and a full action to feed a potion to another person.

Death in Tarsys

This campaign follows the Three Strikes and You're Out rule. This means that any character can be resurrected a maximum of three times before the strain of crossing the veil becomes too much. The fourth death is permanent, and not even Godly intervention can prevent that.

Additionally, a campaign set in Tarsys runs on the Didn't Come Back Right rule. When a character is resurrected by magic, the strain of crossing over takes its toll on that character's mind. The character is affected by Madness, rolling on one of the Madness tables in the DMG at the DM's discretion. This Madness affects the character for a number of days equal to the level of the spell used to ressurect it.

Space Travel

Travel through the void of space is commonplace and even expected in the Tarsys Galaxy. Advancements made in the field of Astromancy means that most vessels are fitted with an Astral Engine that is capable of Faster Than Light travel. The ship's navigator is usually equipped with the spell Sending in cases of emergency.

Research into the ability to harness the power of the gravitational pull of a singularity (i.e. black hole, sun) to jump near instantaneously between star systems has recently begun to make the rounds in certain circles. This branch of Astromancy is in its infancy. Ships are rarely fitted with engines capable of this feat, and if they are there is an 85 percent chance of something going wrong on such a jump.

Teleportation

Most teleportation magic within Tarsys is limited by distance unless you are using a spell such as plane shift or gate to travel between planes.

Teleport and Teleportation Circle. These spells are limited to travel within solar systems, as they are unable to compensate for the distance between systems.

Transport Via Plants. This spell is also limited to within the solar system it is cast in, however, there is an exception. If the spell is cast from a Druid Circle to another Druid Circle in the galaxy, the spell can be used as normal due to Druids' carefully tending transportation trees.

Word of Recall. This spell can be used as normal, as it is linked to sacred spaces and powered by divine magic.
