Born to a lighthouse-keeper on the storm coast, '''Vesperin''' studied the night sky at the [[University of Darg]] and became the realm’s finest '''star-reader'''. When a '''[[Nether]]-fog''' shrouded the sea during the [[War of the Empires]], trapping a refugee flotilla far from land, Vesperin realized the sky itself could be turned into a beacon. Using an ancient '''astrolabe''' and invoking the constellations of '''[[Darg’s Crown]]''', he traced a lattice of Light between the stars—an '''Evening Ward''' sailors later called ''[[Vesperin’s Ladder]]''.{{Infobox saints and gods|name=Saint Vesperin|image=Vesperin.png|imagesize=260px|image_alt=Saint Vesperin|image_caption=Painting of Saint Vesperin.|type=Saint|patron_of=Stars & mysticism|age=27|full_name=Vesperin Grayglade|triad=Triad of Tides & Wayfinding|triad_image=TriadTidesWayfinding.png|triad_imagesize=120px|triad_image_alt=Triad of Tides & Wayfinding}}
For '''seven nights''', that star-bound ward cut through the black miasma and held a true heading for the ships. At dawn on the seventh, the flotilla made landfall; the ward dimmed, and Vesperin—spent to the last spark—'''passed with his eyes fixed on the Morning Star'''. Mariners swore the constellations flickered in salute. In the seasons that followed, [[Seer|Seers]] confirmed the miracle and '''canonized him within the [[Triad of Tides & Wayfinding|Tides & Wayfinding]] triad'''. To this day, navigators keep a '''“Vesperin hour”''' at dusk to set their course by the first stars, and mystics study his notes on how vows, numbers, and celestial patterns can anchor Aetherial [[Light Energy|Light]].
