Starlight (ˈsit͡sipi)
The village of Starlight is a medium sized village of halflings, located in the far northwest portion of the Shrouded Continent. It is nestled in a small valley, in the mountains that border the south of Seahorse Bay, north of the Skavre Marsh.
Though only a 500 or so of the regions halflings dwell here in a permanent state, the village is the center for over 1000 hundred halflings that thrive in the region. Most halflings live in familial units that may be stationary or temporary. These halflings come to the village on important days or pass through on their travels. As halflings come of age, they are loaned to the village to act as warriors, guards, and hunters. In exchange, they learn these valuable skills.
The Star Hunter Lodge is located in Starlight village. It is a branch of shamanism devoted to those who have strong gifts in divination.
