Sky Father was the posthumous title of the founder and first abbot of S'tung Monastery in Bashan Do Province, T'u Lung, in the 4th century before Dalereckoning.[1]
History[]
He was a shukenja who became a monk.[1]
In Shou Year 894 (−356 DR), the abbot ordered his monks to create five high-quality placards, and they did so, creating the paper and ink from scratch, blessing the materials, and cutting the paper using a holy blade kept in the monastery. Once complete, the abbot carried the blank cards and the ink into the wilderness on a four-month long retreat of self-purging. When he returned, he had painted powerful holy symbols upon them, creating the enchanted cards called the Edu'sascar.[1]
A keen student of astronomy, he left behind countless star charts and observations of meteors and comets. Hence, after his death, he was given the title "Sky Father".[1]
