PFS StandardCosmic Caravan

Source Divine Mysteries pg. 242
Astronomers and astrologers know that the Cosmic Caravan is a collection of constellations that form a ring around the star Cynosure. The diverse array of deities and demigods of the Cosmic Caravan pantheon are associated with these and other celestial bodies, as well as the spaces between them. Desna and Sarenrae; the empyreal lords Ashava, Black Butterfly, and Pulura; the elven god Ketephys; and the outer god Yog-Sothoth come together to advocate the hope for the future that one feels while looking up at the night sky. At first, the moon god Groetus was part of this pantheon, but his function as the harbinger of the end of the world put him at odds with the Cosmic Caravan’s outlook. He has since been replaced with the Tian deity Tsukiyo, the Prince of the Moon.

Worshippers of the Cosmic Caravan are stargazers and fortune-tellers who look to the arrangement of constellations during auspicious times for guidance. This pantheon originally rose to prominence in western Avistan, particularly in Varisia, Nidal, and Ravounel, but has spread farther. In Nidal, devotees stand against those who worship the cruel Zon-Kuthon and espouse the idea that night is a time for evil.
