The Six Scriptures

The Six Scriptures are religious texts made from hallucinations combined with starmaps by the Star-Eaters during their travels of the Juno System. When decrypted into Stelladenti and then translated into English, they reveal the Star-Eaters' six beliefs about the Universe.

The First Scripture, the Scripture of Terminus, dictates: 'All good things must come to an end.'

The Second Scripture, the Scripture of Pandora, dictates: 'Order inevitably leads to chaos.'The Third Scripture, the Scripture of Instability, dictates: 'That which has been destroyed was always fated to be destroyed.'

The Fourth Scripture, the Scripture of Infinity, dictates: 'Both the Universe and the limits of knowledge are endless.'

The Fifth Scripture, the Scripture of Mystery, dictates: 'Everything is innately unknowable.'The Sixth (and Final) Scripture, the Scripture of Paradox, dictates: 'Everything must decay into its changed form.'

Various 'new' texts have been discovered written inside Star-Eater shells, but have been dismissed as heretical beliefs of these scriptures.The most prominent is the Scripture of Vertices, which dictates: 'The upper bounds of knowledge are purposely unknowable.' This is believed to be an offshoot of the Scripture of Mystery, but is claimed to be heresy due to the Star-Eaters' belief in the making of the unknowable into the knowable, and the unknowable being a coincidence caused by loss of information.
