Personality: Hyth considers all living beings to be her children and treats them as such, wanting to guide, provide for, and protect. Hylth is gentle spirited, truly and fully embodying motherly love and the concepts of mercy and forgiveness. Her faith and optimism sees the good in all StarDragons, and she wishes redemption for those who betray her love and commit the highest sin; the destruction of life before its time in the great cycle of mortality.

Her personality is kind and loving, joyfully spirited and optimistic, and sometimes silly, with a love for friendly competition and having fun. She is the type to cry when she is happy, overwhelmed with the joy and love she embodies.
Religious Faith Leader Title: Sun Caller, Light Bringer
StarEater Method of Prayer: Typical prayers of thanks, usually at dawn when the sun comes up, and when the sun is highest. This is usually done via personal quiet contemplation along with a small meal, so many StarDragons incorporate it along with their breakfast and lunch. Worshippers tend to keep a small garden or collection of potted plants and pray while tending to them.
It is considered taboo to pray in a room with no windows/in the dark. Though some Crafter and Fisher communities have made exceptions for this.

Main Organizations:
★ Order of the Sun Mother: An organization of holy warriors with a mastery of light magic. Defenders of the church and their fellow stardragons, the order dedicates itself to protecting and aiding those in need. Most cities have a hall dedicated to the Order and those under the Sun Mother’s banner travel Jo’Arca. Many find the order a blessing, if not a bit eccentric, as many members of the order often hold themselves to a vow or particular code of ethics based on what hall they represent.
★ The Dawn Flowers: An organization of healers and priests who travel the lands offering aid and healing to those in need. It is not uncommon for a member of the Dawn Flowers to travel with a member from the Order of the Sun Mother.
★ First Blossom: A more secretive organization of druids and priests who dedicate themselves to nature. They are firm believers that all of Hyth’s creations are sacred and not simply her stardragons, so they often dedicate themselves to preserving and protecting lands from the encroachment of civilization.
