    $\begingroup$ The light emitted by the stars could still follow Plancks Law, but be "modified" afterwards. Perhaps the eldritch entities moving through space selectively blue- or redshift certain frequencies, so that the only equilibrium is a sickly green... (they might either permeate all space, or just surround the planet you are on, and it would suffice if most photons encountered a few entities through their whole journey). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ And if the MC feels it being warm in the night, the actual sun of the system would have to be very weak(/far away) to prevent the planet quickly warming to lethal temperatures (and even then, the local temperature would tend to something greater than that of the blueshifted background radiation). Also, any perceptible warming of the background radiation would strongly lower the local entropic gradient, meaning any life on such a planet would die out over a relatively short peroid of time (weather and other dynamic pattern would also cease to exist). $\endgroup$
