The Masque of the Frozen Stars is a troupe of glacial patience and flawless precision, its players as cold and remote as the void between suns. Long associated with the grim seers of the craftworlds, the masque values foresight above passion, and its performances unfold with the inevitability of fate itself, every step and gesture calculated long in advance. To the Frozen Stars, a battle and a dance are the same thing, a pattern to be revealed rather than a struggle to be won.
The masque clads itself in holo-suits of pale ice-blue and brilliant white, shimmering like starlight upon frost, and when it strikes it does so with surgical exactness. Its players seem always to be exactly where the enemy is weakest, appearing at the precise instant a formation falters, as though they had known the shape of the battle before it began. There is little mercy and less warmth in the Frozen Stars, only the serene certainty of a foretold ending.
Other masques regard the Frozen Stars with a wary respect, for its Shadowseers are numbered among the most gifted diviners in all the Harlequin troupes, and it is said that where the Frozen Stars choose to dance, the threads of fate have already been drawn tight.
