The constellation of Capricornus, the Sea-Goat // E. Slawik/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Zamani

Click below for some facts about this constellation, the named stars, and an annotated image!

Capricornus, which is Latin for "horned goat," is one of the original 48 constellations laid down by the Greek astronomy Ptolemy. Although its name makes no reference to a "sea goat," it has consistently been represented as a sea goat throughout time. The Babylonians saw Capricornus as a hybrid of a goat and a fish symbolizing their god Ea.

In Greek Mythology, the constellation is identified as Amalthea, the goat that suckled the infant Zeus after his mother Rhea saved him from being eaten by his father, Cronus. It could also be Pan, who saved himself from the monster Typhon by giving himself a fish's tail and diving into a nearby river.

In order of brightness, the named stars are:

Deneb Algedi (δ Capricorni), a binary star system about 39 light years from Earth. The two components are both blue-white giant stars. Its name comes from the Arabic ðanab al-jady meaning "the tail of the goat," marking its place in Capricornus.

Dabih (β Capricorni) is a multiple star system about 390 light years away. It consists of five stars, one of which is an orange supergiant, while at least two others are blue giant stars. The name comes from the Arabic al-dhābiḥ meaning "the butcher."

Algedi (α Capricorni) is a triple star system about 102 light years away. The primary star is a yellow giant star. The name comes from the Arabic al-jadii meaning "the goat."

Nashira (γ Capricorni) is a solitary yellow-white giant star about 171 light years away. Its name comes from the Arabic sa'd nashirah meaning "the lucky one."

Alshat (ν Capricorni) is a solitary blue giant star about 268 light years away. The name comes from the Arabic aš-šā[t] meaning "the sheep" which was to be slaughtered by "the butcher," Dabih, next door.

Nashira explicitly stated that Arcturus was the most beautiful of the Rephs so once the Arcturus/Paige situation becomes more widely known there has got to be an outcry that is more than cultural. Bad enough that a scrappy yucky human managed to seduce a Rephaite into flesh treachery, but she managed to snag Arcturus? How did she manage to get Arcturus? Of all the Rephaim to lose to flesh treachery, it just had to be the hottest one.

What was supposed to be LAST YEAR'S Christmas present for my Pathfinder group: Tarot cards of our characters, what I consider a rite of passage for D&D artists (lol).

You can see a (sort of) year's difference of improvement between a few, depending on when they were made. Example is Amara (image 1) and Ashen Jack (image 2).

Distant Neighbors, New Friends: mysterymanjoseph and s-somatize

Joseph and a cadre of his elite troops, the Butchers, were on patrol along the border between his realm and the realm of Auriga. Reports of bandits raiding back and forth across the border had reached the capitol, and his royal grandparents have sent him out to deal with the bandits, permanently. One specific rule, do not cross the border into Auriga. Their realms really did not have any diplomatic relations, only having talks, when necessary, at the border, between emissaries of each kingdom. Joseph, riding Dagger, his huge warhorse, is in the lead, the force moving at a walking pace, keeping their horses rested until the time for speed is needed. Scouts are riding ahead, looking for the bandits, and will come back to inform Joseph, and the pursuit will start in earnest then. Joseph fingers the grip of the longer, slightly curved sword that hangs at his hip along a shorter, straight bladed one. Gifts, give to him by an ambassador from a far distant Eastern island realm of warriors, because he had assisted their delegation as they traveled through his realm. Special blades, forged from the heart of a star that fell from the heavens and died, named Twilight, and Dawn respectively. He thinks, "These bandits do not act like the average bandit, more like a disciplined, trained force, that is worrisome."
