Solarian
A welcoming and passionate people. The Solarians reside in the Solaris Desert . The name “Solarian” is all encompassing. Over the years many other races have joined with the Solarians making it more of a culture and way of life. They mostly call themselves the children of the sun.
Solarians worship a being called the Sun Dragon. It is believed that he used to rule over the material plane until he vanished without a trace. They believe they have upset the dragon in some way and that is why he left. He left them cursed and unable to bear children. They welcome others into their settlement believing they are blessings sent from the dragon. Pure blood Solarians are rare to see in Astrenium. They have a ritual to earn the right to have a child. Once every 10 years, someone will be chosen to complete this ritual and gain the blessing of their Shaman. To be chosen is a great honor because the dragon still sees them and through its divine intervention, they can have a child. This doesn’t always work. Sometimes they will go decades without the birth of another child.
When a child is born (whether by the blessing of the dragon or the union of people), there is a large feast held in honor of the mother who brought this new life into the world and for child themselves. Children are seen as divine and blessed. The entire village cares for the children until they come of age (usually around the age of 30), they are taught many trades as they grow, children born of magic are trained to be the next village shaman.
When a Solarian with magical talent reaches the age of 30, they start their “time of testing,” they will leave the desert in search of themselves. They leave their village to adventure and learn about the world.
