Rhya’s Cauldron is revered by Astromancers, Wizards of the Jade and Amethyst orders, and astrologers alike. It is associated with the budding of new things in nature, and also their inevitable death. People born under its light are known to be righteous in their ideals and merciful towards the innocent. No matter what their station in life, they are relentless in their pursuit of justice. This relentlessness, if unchecked, can make them careless and even callous towards the lives and well-being of others.

There is no uncertainty in the hearts of those born under the Big Cross. The path they must take through the world seems obvious to them, and they make sensible choices to keep on it. But this rationality can lead to a predictable passivity and detachment from the world around them.
If their path is already made, why deviate from it? It is vital that they find something to fight for, rather than simply allowing the tides of fate to sweep them away.

The Bonesaw is the sign of the philosopher — above all else, they crave knowledge. They live to explore and experiment. Unlike other inquisitive signs, however, they do not want to hoard what they know for its own sake, and they do not withdraw into themselves. One born under the Bonesaw wants to disseminate what they know as widely as possible. This can, however, make them seem like overbearing know-it-alls, rather than passionate scholars of the world.

Penalty: −3 Willpower
At times, people born under the Broken Cart can be prideful and over-concerned with appearances. They might spend their last coin in pursuit of the finer things in life, or dash themselves on the rocks looking for the approval of their betters. When this tendency is curbed — when they come to peace with the fundamental insecurities that cause them to spend their lives searching for things to fulfill them — their pride becomes confidence, and their conceit mellows into likeability.
The Broken Cart’s association with Nurgle is rarely acknowledged, as worship of any Ruinous Power is grounds for a short trip to a tall pyre in most parts of the world. All know that there is something dark and primal about the sign, however, and its associations with disease are common across many cultures. Many folk know that the Father of Plagues is a force in the world, and when disease scours the land, the desperate often recall old tales and forbidden rites, and make offerings just the same.

The Dancer is the sign of passion — and of obsession. What those born under the sign choose to pursue they chase with a single-minded devotion.

A person born under the Drummer is distinguishable by their expansive, generous spirit. They do nothing in moderation, and when they give, they give everything. A Drummer never fails to give alms to the poor or take care of ailing family members. They also never turn down an invitation to a tavern or a party. They are a joy to be around, but this joy can swiftly turn to ruinous excess and hedonism if left unchecked.

The stars that make up the Gloaming appear only under specific conditions, at twilight. People born under the Gloaming are doubters and skeptics. This skepticism can morph into paranoia and unreasonable suspicion of anything they cannot see or touch. The metaphysical, the theoretical—none of it is trustworthy. Only the hard, physical reality of the world is reliable. At their best, natives of the Gloaming are brilliant investigators and scholars. They are often inclined toward sorcery despite their distrust of the mystical.

A person born under the Greased Goat refuses to let anyone get too near. They can seem aloof and apathetic, but this is an attempt to make sure they are not hurt by the disappointments that are assuredly coming their way. When they are knocked down, they wallow in their pain. On the rare occasions they allow themselves to feel joy, their joy is infectious.
Children born under the Greased Goat who have an aptitude for magic often find themselves drawn towards the Amber wind of Ghur. Those born under the Greased Goat would be wise to remember that the world is not there to victimize them. Everyone has a run of bad luck sometimes, but it does not define them.

Natives of the Limner’s Line were born to be poets, painters, sculptors — artists of all kinds. They create beauty wherever they go, and even those who by circumstance do not find themselves in an artistic field still find a way to make their life’s work into a kind of art. If they are doktors, they are surgeons. If they are soldiers, they become master tacticians. People born under the Limner’s Line must take care not to become too critical of themselves or their work.

The ground splits apart, a thousand gnashing teeth waiting hungrily in the chasm. The pit is bottomless, its hunger endless, its teeth shards of razor, and the sound of its roiling jaws like the grinding of glass on stone.
Anyone in the affected area must make an immediate Challenging (+0) Dodge Test to scramble clear. If they succeed, targets take a Damage +8 hit as they pull themselves out of the Maw, with the Damage reduced by 1 for each SL achieved on the Dodge Test.
Anyone who fails the Test plunges into the Maw, which begins the methodical work of swallowing them alive. They immediately suffer a Damage +10 hit to a randomly chosen location, and gain 3 @Condition[Entangled] Conditions. Attempts to remove these Conditions are resisted by the Maw’s Strength of 60. The victim may not escape the Maw until all 3 @Condition[Entangled] conditions are removed. At the end of each of their turns, creatures inside the Maw suffer another Damage +10 hit to a randomly chosen location.
The Maw’s teeth are sharp, and it does not give up prey easily. As soon as the spell ends, the Maw vanishes, but attempts to keep any limbs that remain inside it as it goes. If a creature is inside the Maw when it vanishes, they immediately suffer a Critical Wound to a randomly chosen hit location.

The best diplomats are born under the Piper’s rule, and so are the best thieves. They are cunning, slick, and very tactful when they need to be. In a negotiation, there is none better to have one’s back. However, they do not hesitate to play both sides to their advantage — or take advantage of allies, if they think they’ll come out the better for it. Theologians disagree as to the correct deity to associate with the Piper. In Marienburg it is considered a particularly fortuitous sign, and some families attempt to conceive nine months before it rises ascendant.

Fortunately for the world, what they most want to do is help others, whether that means making improvements to a printing press or designing a better plow for their family’s fields. Unfortunately, the projects they throw themselves into can be fanciful and impractical, and malefactors might bend their idealism to dangerous or unrighteous causes.

Magical and mysterious, the Witchling Star is considered an ominous sign by most astrologers. Those under its rule have great courage. They possess a sort of mercuriality that stops just short of dishonesty or inconstancy, but which occasionally causes problems for those around them.
