Nakiran Astromantic Tradition

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. While recognition of this fact is a part of Nakiran tradition, elevating Yōsei above Meisei is considered idolatrous and punished by excommunication. As such, Yōsei is most commonly favored in Nakiran free cities.
