radiants
Points emitting light
Radiants is the plural of radiant, a point in the sky from which meteors in a shower appear to originate.
Meteor showers are named for the constellation containing their radiant: the Perseids radiate from Perseus, the Leonids from Leo.
The Geminids have two radiants.
In gaming and fantasy contexts, radiants may refer to characters or beings associated with light or divine power.
