Celestial Silk

The rarest and most valuable of all fabrics that can be found in the vast expanse of The Great Constellation, Celestial Silk is a shimmering, ephemerally thin material a rich, deep, navy blue in hue and which twinkles with tiny stars. Celestial Silk is most often associated with only the wealthiest and most influential of nobility and with the most ancient and powerful of wizard lords.
Celestial Silk is prepared from the moultsilk derived from larval moultworms. A bolt of moultsilk must be immersed in a vat of superheated mordant based on adamant and trichrome salts over the span of more than a year. The threads must then be delicately separated out one by one and re-spun whilst being drawn through a pool of liquefied Zodiacal Tar, then re-woven into a new bolt of fabric. By tradition, this can not take place until the sign of Lepidracora is seen in a Deep Zodiac cast with the Zodiacal Tar to be used.

Celestial Dressings

It feels like a decadent waste to use such a rare and precious fabric in such a manner, but the healing it promotes is near miraculous.

Rarely, bandages and wound dressings are crafted from celestial silk, despite the horrific expense inherent to the material. The use of these bandages is rarer still, the minuscule stocks reserved for the most important of patients, and even then for only the most severe of injuries. However, the benefits of applying a celestial silk dressing to a wound is undeniable. Injuries treated this way heal more quickly and more completely, with only a minimal amount of scarring.

Ocular Silk

Woven beneath the gaze of maligned stars. Each twinkle the slow blink of that which watches.

Woven from the fibres discarded by aberrant moultworms, the shimmering navy void within the fabric of this tainted silk sparkles not with stars, but with something altogether more sinister. Garments tailored from ocular silk both look and feel just like any other, but after a while the wearer begins to see... things... lurking just beyond the haze at the edge of sight.

Twinkling stars caught in a weave of nebulous threads. A window into a sky not our own.
