Starfall Society: - Egalitarian, with maternal lineage and inheritance. Women treated with great respect. Polyamory (especially polyandry) common among nobility. It's considered heretical for commoners to touch royals, hence need for Starkeepers Religion: - Worship of Polaris (noble god of night) and Sel (fiery goddess of day), plus minor pantheon "The Eight" (Haunt, Verdan, Cinder, Whisper, Swell, Zephyr, Verve, Null).

[Backstory

• born and raised in Sunhold
• Ethan’s childhood was filled with the stories of those who passed through Sunhold; merchants, adventurers, and travelers, each with their own tale of survival in the unforgiving desert
• spent many nights in the Oasis, listening to the stories while the cool desert air swept over him
• The Oasis became his sanctuary (he could escape the weight of his family’s rising legacy)
• had a natural talent for languages, picking up dialects from the merchants who passed through, and he often served as an unofficial translator for those with no one to help them navigate Sunhold’s bustling markets (in trade for their story or a mock duel)
• learned to wield a blade, not just to defend himself from the desert bandits that raided trade routes, but also to protect his family’s interests in the bustling markets
• became involved in the protection of Sunhold's trade routes as a teen, a task which often took him into the unforgiving desert. The dangers of marauding bandits and the monstrous creatures that lurked beneath the sands pushed Ethan to prove himself by excelling at his sword skills and animal shifting abilities
• displayed not only exceptional combat skills but a courage that came not from recklessness, but from a deep desire to be seen as an equal
• gained fame within the city
• a brutal confrontation with a group of Irradiyan spies, who had infiltrated Sunhold under the cover of night, were attempting to sabotage House Wells' lucrative spice trade. Ethan successfully thwarted their plans by shapeshifting into a mouse to follow them and then attacking as a wolf, ripping them to shreds
• a giant sandworm attacked the Dawnstar’s travelling carriage. Ethan saved them on his own when he left after fighting with his father about not wanting to take over his business
• suffered a major snakebite injury on his torso that was poisoning him but he was saved by the Dawnstar. He cried at their feet (the first time he cried since he was a child)
• won the Dawnstar’s favour and asked to be their Starkeeper]
