Starbound

Sources Travel Guide pg. 92, Abomination Vaults Player's Guide pg. 5

A pantheon rapidly gaining popularity throughout Memory is the Zodiac Barons. Astronomers and astrologers will tell you the Zodiac Barons are a collection of constellations visible in the night sky, said to travel forever in a circle around the star Cynosure. The association of a diverse array of deities and demigods linked to the stars—and the spaces between them—first rose to prominence in western Saskhij, particularly in Usherya, Dilan, and Diridu. The deities worshipped by the faithful are a heady and diverse group that shows the true depth of understanding of this pantheon: Lady of Dreams and Sun Maiden; the empyreal lord's True Spark, Black Butterfly, and Star Dancer; the elven god Lord of the Hunt; and the outer god Threshold Watcher. Their religious observances take place at night and center around stargazing. While Last Watch served as the moon in the original pantheon, the god's treatment of spreading hope as anathema has caused many to swap in the Celestial Prince of the Moon in regions where he's known.
If your travels take you through Dilan, you'll find this pantheon has been gaining ground there against the worship of the Dark Prince, whose faithful feel they own the worship of the night. A rising number of Zodiac Baron worshippers in that nation seek to oppose or, one day, even overthrow the Midnight Lord's theocracy to reclaim the night from the implications that all who dwell in the dark are evil.
