MONIST-2

(a.k.a. Metat Aun (Translated to "The Deadstar"))

Union has limited information on what, exactly, Metat Aun is, though from all associated anecdotes and descriptions they classify it as a MONIST entity, one assumed to be on par with MONIST-1 ("RA").
Metat Aun has a physical form (or, has a physical form that is chooses to manifest as): a massive planar monolith of dark stone, rectangular and solid, that can move without discernible methods of transportation. It is understood to be the only physical form of Metat Aun in Aunic space, and in the narrative present it hovers ten kilometers above the Aunic capital. This is the monolith’s third appearance above Anthem, an occasion that is viewed as a good omen; pilgrims and penitents both flock to Anthem, and the city is now less a functioning city than a site of constant pilgrimage and worship.
Metat Aun speaks through a chosen Herald, by all accounts a person who has ascended to a kind of demigod status through Metat’s divine intervention. The current Herald is Os, a folk hero who was a leader of the Ascendancy movement before it became the state power it is in the narrative present. It is not known how Os has prolonged their life: that is viewed as a miracle of Metat’s making instead.
While Metat itself has not spoken direct orders to the Ascendancy, their priests have interpreted its presence as clear dogmatic explication: the Path is obscured unless revealed, and beloved now as it is, Aun’Ist is not the true home of the Aun. Their Path continues, and to find it they must return to claim their throne -- Earth -- from the stewards that keep it.
The human race, after all, is a race of wanderers, cursed and blessed to follow The Path. The Aun see it as their holy duty to ensure they do not stray from the Path, less humanity plunges into the Great Deep as a result.
