Legend: Stars that Hate

Only the ignorant look upon the night sky and marvel at the beauty of the stars, for between them lie the great gulfs of the cosmos, the gaping chasms of terror some call the Dark Tapestry. Yet is not only this void, this absence of space that must be feared -- indeed, it is space itself. It is with great hubris that we consider ourselves the apex of our lands, the ultimate, civilized races born to lord our dominion over the more primitive monsters and animals as our given rights by gods, or magics, or even just our feeble existences.

Of course, there are those that claim to know of our feeble mortal forms by virtue of knowledge of the existence of the quintessential life that lies in the planes. At this I laugh, for where our fears should be directed are much more transcendentally closer and quite mortal indeed (in most cases.) Yet these things that ride the dust of the stars and consume galaxies like a slovenly peasant might gobble up his meal would give these beings fright without so much as being cognizant of their existence.

It's just as well, since ignorance is a delicacy to these hateful stars.
