This will just be a fun experiment. But I wonder how things would go if you, dear reader, would decide what exactly the Stars of Belhra are. Please comment your ideas or theories down below, and after a while, I will do my best to write an article based on those ideas.
So, what do you think the Stars of Belhra might be?

The stars of Belhra are essentially distilled starlight, the creator of the method thought that by doing this they could extract cosmic power straight from the source. Through a specialized magical lens they gathered and focused the starlight through a magical circle meant to convert it to its purest form. What came of it was a near translucent liquid with the consistency of alchemical mercury. From there a bit of alchemical trickery and pressure the creator managed to have it crystallize into what we know today as Stars of Belhra.   I wrote a short bit to just explain the origin of my idea mostly for context. Essentially i'm thinking this is a form of astral magic, using the light of the stars in a condensed form for a variety of purposes, literal star power as it were. I'm thinking the gems that would be made from this method could focus a lot of magical energy, then making them prized in the creation of staves, wands and other magical foci. Other uses would be jewelry and magical devices requiring magical energy to function.

What would happen, if multiverse spanning being would get hurt? Its blood, its essence would scatter across the multiverse. This life essence of being so above anything in single universe, scattered across realms, planes, or entire universes.   What once used to be different by just a single decision is now further differentiated by the essence of dying being. Being still so much above understanding of anyone inhabiting just a single universe.   This starry heavy liquid essence acts like creation itself. Stars, planet, gods and races. Anything is coming into being just from this essence alone. All the essence needs to do its magic is a thought, a blueprint, coming from conscious being. All the while it could be hiding in plain sight, waiting for its purpose.   Because the entity is slowly dying, this essence is becoming rarer and rarer. And those who know about it would not hesitate to wage war on the cosmos itself, if they ever find a way to cross the boundaries.

The Star of Belhra is a small crystalline pendant of amazing beauty and intricate design. It gains its name from the spark and flicker within the pendant, as if the hidden light of a star is captured within.   Sought after by thieves and sages. What none of them know is the stories and legends are true. The star represents the focal point of an artifact that exists outside of the world. The star is but the tip of a much larger engine of the cosmos. Its power is beyond mortal reckoning, the kind of of power involved in cosmic creation and destruction.

Where the sunlight meets minds abright, Under skies lit by the aurora named of Belhra. The stars which shine, malignant or benign, give way to a great sign: The clock of havoc ticks endlessly, a countermeasure to immeasurable progress, yet no progression shall halt so long as tock of time still chimes through the minds of Belhra's Stars.
— Ancient Proverb; "Speak of the Stars of Belhra"
 
 

The Stars

Those Who Follow Belhra's Light

  The so named "Stars of Belhra," often shorthanded to simply "The Stars" are an elite group of intellectual, focused on the exploration of the greater universe and the powers that govern it. While known explicitly for their intellectual prowess, the Stars are historically quite capable in the various systems of magic discoverable across the known multiverse.

Belhra the Wise

The Greatest Star

  Founder and namesake of the Stars of Belhra, widely renowned as the most skilled investigators of the unknowns of the universe. Although they didn't discover the precise origin of the universe, Belhra neared a number of conclusions as to the origins of various magic systems, sparking the growth of the Stars of Belhra, a group dedicated to completing Belhra's work.
 
  This took a bit longer than anticipated because I had a few other ideas (namely, a solar system, meteorites, or an organization of powerful people) but nixed them all because of a lack of proper engagement in the setting, instead settling with what popped into my head with the authoring of the opening poem. I've not read the other comments, though I will afterward. Sorry it took so long to get to. Also, I got into it a bit and wrote probably more than was necesary.
