Isolated, on the cold peaks of Mt Trinitus, lives a large reclusive group known as the Ishtar Enclave. Perhaps the greatest concentration of the scaled, multi-coloured beings known as Starborn in one place.

They do not dedicate themselves to the gods, but feel a deep calling towards the stars in the Glittering Darkness. Many of their oral stories tell of an ancient time where they themselves were stars and fell down to Noth. They believe that their actions here will allow them to astrally reincarnate; at death, their body is burnt, allowing them to re-ignite their star-selves, and renew into new life among the Glittering Darkness.

Tracking the movements of the stars, they divine the future prospects of Noth and their enclave. Some believe the infrequent, century-long shuffle of the stars is their way of communicating to their descendants on Noth, the star’s illumination guiding them from danger and misdeed, to allow them to rejoin their home above.

Curiously, while the augury to ‘shift’ form into animals manifests in other Augurs, for the Ishtar Enclave it is hereditary, one of the only such examples of augury that is inherited. The Ishtar use this to great advantage, able to migrate from the peaks to the forests below during the colder seasons as birds, and allows them to hide as rats from the rare, but ever present threat of intruders to their sacred grounds.

Often, a member of the Ishtar will divine a path pointed by an ancestral star, and feel compelled to follow that path no matter the consequences. These nomads of the Ishtar become known as wandering Orators or Prophets in Enaeth, kind but aloof individuals cutting a path only the stars can tell.
