Oh my. Astraelosis taking things that don’t belong to her? While she’d hardly be the first god of thieves (looking at you, Hermes) it is ironic that her priesthood is currently persecuting people for the exact same offense.
Would you like a side of hypocrisy, along with those fries?
Astraelos isn’t a thief goddess. And who wants to bet that the Key doesn’t send you to the afterlife of your choosing but instead just kills you and uses your soul for something unpleasant?
She’s all about getting people into places that they shouldn’t be. Her sigil, the one plastered all over the temple, is that of the key which apparently isn’t even her artifact. I’m sure that this once-a-year piety fest where they give away the key is also her major fundraiser. If she’s not a thief goddess she’s edging awfully close to someone who is. Your speculation on what the key does is interesting but Oz’s quest is to “steal heaven for your flesh”, so one assumes the key does *something* along those lines… unless those Church of the Eye guys who arranged the quest are a lot more evil than they appear. :/
I bet it belongs to one of the gods our characters are already linked to, what seems accidental ends up planned for the dragon quest. What do they gain for this side quest?

Who said it was stolen ? Perhaps there is more than one god in the temple. Perhaps the key belongs to an enemy god that is simply kept there.
Its probably stolen and/or heretical to have it, but there ARE other options.
Given how this story’s been going, it’s probably the Dragon’s.
Not a bad theory

What makes you think it’s a sidequest? This is main questline, plotline central.
