Cstheio Caireizhasan

Cstheio Caireizhasan is the Ethuveraz goddess of stars, of wisdom, and of magic, and is the guardian of the lost and the broken.

Names
Cstheio is referred to by many names in the story:


 * Cstheio
 * Cstheio Caireizhasan
 * The dreaming lady of the stars /the Lady of Stars
 * Cstheio Czireizhasan: Although Cstheio's name is spelled "Cstheio Caireizhasan" in The Goblin Emperor, the goddess appears to be called "Cstheio Czireizhasan" in The Grief of Stones, unless this refers to a different goddess/aspect of the same goddess.

Details
Adherents can pray to her using the mantra, "Cstheio Caireizhasan, hear me. Cstheio Caireizhasan, see me. Cstheio Caireizhasan, know me." This is possibly Barizheise in origin, as Chenelo Drazharan taught it to Maia Drazhar. “One did not ask for more than awareness from the Lady of the Stars; hers was the gift of clear sight, not of mercy or protection.”

Cstheio is part of the Five-Fold Harmony, along with Anmura, Osreian, Csaivo, and Ulis.

The Pilgrimage of Stairs or the Unfinished Pilgrimage is a journey up a staircase that winds about halfway up the small mountain of Mount Kezrinin, in Ezho, and stops. The pilgrimage token for it is “a tightly braided loop of ribbon with a disc of polished and faceted clear quartz hanging from it", and the quartz symbolizes clear seeing.
