In the sky, there are the five Travelers. They are stars, that, for reasons best known to themselves, do not stay in a steady position relative the the rest of the stars.
Of the five Travelers, many take irregular routes, but the best known one is the Star of the Seasons, which does nothing more complicated than circle the world.
It is known as the Star of the Seasons because where it is relative to the sun determines the season.
During Winter, it is positioned between the world and the sun, even going so far as to meet the Sun in the sky during midwinter.
During Summer, it is position opposite of the Sun, and blazes the brightest.
During Spring and Autumn, the Star of the Seasons near the dawn or near Sunset.
On a theological level, the Star of the Seasons is the patron of time, of the calendar, and, in some cultures, the patron of crops.
