Story of the Third Stargazer
May 22, 2026 at 12:16 PM
Linked Chick Chan, Plague Berserker, the Stargazer Observatory, Tales of the Stargazers and Cursed Swamps, added an Obtaining note, and expanded the prophecy cross-links.
The Story of the Third Stargazer is the closing testimony of the three-part Stargazer prophecy sequence. It is the only one of the three that explicitly describes Chik-Chan's death and corrupted afterlife, foreshadowing the boss-fight encounter players experience in the modern game timeline.
The northern people declared war upon us, and Warlord Chik-Chan came to me seeking a prophecy.
But the stars were silent. In helpless fury, Chik-Chan shattered the sanctuary above and defiled the observatory, sealing me within.
Death draws near. I know this place will become my grave. My strength is nearly spent; thirst clouds my sight. Yet the stars see all. They whisper to me of vengeance.
Chik-Chan will soon perish. A warband of the northern people will come for the chieftain's daughter and kill him, casting his body into the swamps near my grave. There it will change, swelling and twisting, entwining with the earth and with roots born of corruption.
The stars whisper to me of the calamity Chik-Chan has brought upon my people. But here, there is no one left who can hear me.
The Third Stargazer's prophecy lays out exactly what players meet when they fight the Chick Chan boss: a swelling, root-entwined giant in the swamps, the corrupted form of the long-dead warlord. The phrase 'roots born of corruption' is the same lore that explains the giant-tier Plague Berserker body shape, tying the Stargazer arc to the wider Plague-creature ecology of the Cursed Swamps.
It closes the three-part testimony begun in Story of the First Stargazer and Story of the Second Stargazer. The sealed observatory the narrator dies in is the Stargazer Observatory, and the collected set is summarised in Tales of the Stargazers.
