Cadin

Cadin is a bright reddish star in Kyros' night sky, situated in the center of the Star-Blood. It holds an important role in many religions across Kyros, especially The Collective.

The Collective believe that Cadin was originally the "womb" of the universe, where Ugana grew to maturity and endured the Grimhunt. Celarus later threw Cadin into the Star-Blood to seal off its flow, following its collapse after Ugana's escape. Collectivists also assign Cadin as the "keystone of the universe."

Lyrian Kendaeist belief refers to Cadin as Kamunkuasi, the "world-spine", assigning it as an object bearing the entire weight of the universe. They see Celarus as an architect who crafted the skeleton of the universe, with Cadin at the structure's apex. More extremist Kendaeist sects searched for methods to destroy Cadin, citing it as a blockage in the final order of Kalopsis.,
