In the Almagest religion, the Basilisk is Earth Ascendant, earth in its primal, dangerous state such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mudslides. His month of Elapidaans is the first month of the Common Calendar and the first month of Winter. He is the patron of architects, and as the patron of the Magic of Ki, he is also the patron of all monks. He is shown in the heavens as the constellation of the same name.
