Nakiran Astromantic Tradition, also known as Kiran Orthodoxy or Astromancy, is a henotheistic religion that interweaves itself into the fabric of Nakiran government and society. Central to its teachings is the worship and study of stars and constellations, specifically Meisei, the central figure of Astromancy and almighty patron god. Kiran Orthodoxy is almost exclusively endemic to Nakiro and practice outside of the country typically only occurs in the cases of emigration and adventurism.

Worship
Meisei
Meisei (lit. "bright star") is the subject of worship in the Nakiran faith. Nakirans believe Meisei to have a special interest in the fate of Arthos and that Meisei themself was the origin of The Source, sent to save Arthos from the brink of death. Outside of Nakiro, they are known as "The Keystone" owing to the star's invaluable utility as a point of reference in maritime and rider navigation.
Yōsei
Yōsei (lit. "foster star") is the name Nakirans give to the sun around which Arthos orbits. It is the figure of secondary importance in Astromancy and is credited by Nakirans as Arthos' original parent star. As a matter of historical interest, Yōsei was predominantly worshipped in Nakiro during the age of revival but fell out of favor when The Orrery traced The Source to Meisei in the third century. While recognition of this past is a part of Nakiran tradition, elevating Yōsei above Meisei is considered idolatrous and punishable by excommunication. As such, Yōsei is most commonly favored today in Nakiran free cities.
