she attacked us with starlight itself. The constellations blessed her,
but I think they cursed her too.”

Constellation-Touched - Star-Blessed Oracle
Description
Constellation-touched are humans transformed by direct contact with the constellations. They sought knowledge, communion with the divine, understanding of the cosmos—and they got it. But the price was their humanity. They’re blessed with cosmic power but cursed with alien perspectives that make them dangerous to normal humans.
They speak in prophecies, see futures that may or may not happen, and wield starlight as a weapon. They’re not corrupted by the Rot—they’re transformed by something else entirely. Some call them blessed. Others call them mad. Both might be right.

Transformation
The constellation-touched were once star-readers who sought deeper communion with the constellations. Through ritual, meditation, or accident, they achieved direct contact. The experience transformed them—gave them power but took their humanity.
They now exist between mortal and divine, blessed and cursed, sane and mad. They guard ancient observatories, attack those who “disturb the stars,” and speak prophecies no one can fully understand.

“Constellation-touched are what happens when humans touch the
divine without preparation. They gain power but lose themselves. They
see truths we can’t comprehend and attack us for reasons that make sense
only to them. Are they blessed? Cursed? Both? I don’t know. But they’re
dangerous, and they’re proof that some knowledge comes at too high a
price.”
