* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': This is the name of one of the starting classes for players. Within the setting, destiny really ''is'' encoded in the heavens, and ancient astrologers studying the stars would eventually discover the secrets of [[PowerCrystal Glintstone Sorcery]]. Glintstones, being fragments of stars fallen to earth. Due to events in the past, Starscourge Radan "arrested the movements of the heavens" after winning a victory against the stars. Details are a bit vague as to what he defeated and how, but he ''stopped the stars from moving'', which consequently stopped everyone's fate from coming true. This lead to astrologers becoming a rare thing, but with his defeat in the game and the renewed movement of the stars, the world comes full circle with Glintstone Sorcerers now rediscovering astrology.
