Stellanioch

Stellanioch is a mysterious figure from Stonehold legends known as the Guardian of the Stars. He is neither spirit nor mortal, and takes on many different roles in mythology. He is found in both Lethos and Human versions of legend, taking on the role of guardian as well as gardener.

He supposedly tends to the constellations, keeping them in place, as well as getting rid of vermin. Some myths know these vermin as cosmic snakes who wrap themselves around the stars to stay warm, nest, and breed. In some myths, particularly Lethos, Stellanioch is keeping watch for the serpent Riroborr the Star Eater.

For one of the few Lethos depictions of Stellanioch, see Herr Amatel, a trickster wolf who stole one of the stars from Stellanioch's garden.
