The Astrologer's Abode was a bit of a teasing nickname given to Zeke Navid's home on the Sartu Peak by his friends, due to his obsession with astrology and his growing collection of books and notes. However, it ended up sticking, and Zeke took the name when he decided to turn his passion into a bit of a side-business in order to continue doing what he loved without worrying too much about income.
The ground floor of the home has been converted into a business; couches and shelves fill the room, and the ceiling and walls are painted a deep blue and decorated with painted stars and astrological symbols. The back room has a large skylight, and couches set up specifically for the ease of discussion. The second floor is Zeke's private residence.
All are welcome into the Astrologer's Abode; Zeke is happy to simply spend time talking people's ears off about his interests, and even more so to teach people who share his interests. While Zeke is getting better at using astrology to make predictions, he is not comfortable charging for fortune telling, as he is worried about being wrong or giving bad advice; however, on occasion, he might be willing to read the stars for those he considers friends as a favour.
Zeke's true business lies in teaching people astrology. Discussions are often held in the backroom at night beneath the skylight, and practical lessons are often done via fieldtrip to the Observatory. The Abode, while open during the day, doesn't tend to offer lessons during this time; instead, Zeke is simply there for those who wish to discuss the stars, history, philosophy, or other similar subjects. Lessons are almost always done at night beneath the stars.

Zeke is an intelligent and passionate man when it comes to the sky, stars, and Lhavitian history. He spends much of his time at the Observatory, but when not there, he can be found at the Astrologer's Abode. While Zeke is deeply fascinated and interested by the physical properties of the stars, and quite knowledgeable, his true passion lies more towards the metaphysical.
A deep believer in astrology and how the stars and distant celestial bodies can affect people and the world, Zeke is constantly tracking the position of the stars and current events, which he then compares to historical events and the people around him.
Somewhat scatterbrained, as he is always distracted by his work and new ideas, Zeke is introverted and slightly awkward, but friendly and enthusiastic all the same. He deeply enjoys sharing his theories and thoughts, and will easily talk for hours to anyone who cares to listen.
