📋 About This Mod
"The Stars of Tamriel are divided into thirteen constellations. Three of them are the major constellations, known as the Guardians.
These are the Warrior, the Mage, and the Thief. Each of the Guardians protects its three Charges from the thirteenth constellation, the Serpent.
When the sun rises near one of the constellations, it is that constellation's season. Each constellation has a Season of approximately one month.

"The Mage is a Guardian Constellation whose Season is Rain's Hand when magicka was first used by men.
His Charges are the Apprentice, the Golem, and the Ritual. Those born under the Mage have more magicka and talent for all kinds of spellcasting,
but are often arrogant and absent-minded."
"The Thief is the last Guardian Constellation, and her Season is the darkest month of Evening Star.
Her Charges are the Lover, the Shadow, and the Tower. Those born under the sign of the Thief are not typically thieves, though they take risks more
often and only rarely come to harm. They will r
