Starkind

The Starkind, Star Children, or sometimes colloquially Stars, are an ethnic group originating from the west region of the Midland, along the eastern shore of the Maw. Traditionally nomadic, communities of Starkind are now found in ever part of the world, particularly throughout the western peninsulas and the Midland.

Named for their use of the Night Star as a navigation tool and use of it as a prominent cultural symbol, the native language of the Starkind is the Startongue, which continues to see common use in Starkind communities as both an everyday and liturgical language.

Religion
Though communities of Starkind around the world have come to adopt some or all of the religious traditions of the peoples they have settled with, an overwhelming majority of the Starkind are Godfearers. Of these, the two names of God most commonly worshipped among the Starkind are Yeshiv - a unique name derived from the Startongue which is worshipped almost solely by the Starkind - throughout the western peninsulas and the Midland, and Al'ime, which has been widely adopted by the Starkind families living in the north-east of the continent.
