John Mati is a priest of Celestian, god of the stars and wanderers. For over two decades, he’s walked the long roads between cities, towns, and isolated shrines. He wanders not for glory or zealotry, but because he must.
“Name’s John Mati. Priest of Celestian, yes—the god of stars, space, and walking until your feet hate you. The robes are real. The title’s real. The patience? That ran out about three towns ago.
I travel, I heal, I mutter prayers, and I try not to throttle idiots. Celestian’s path isn’t a straight road, it’s long, winding, and full of people needing help but too proud to ask. So I show up anyway. Fix what I can. Curse under my breath. Move on.
You need blessings, guidance, or a bandage? Fine, I’ll help. Just don’t expect me to sing hymns or hold your hand. The stars are watching. I just make sure you don’t trip before they get a good look at you.”
