Sarens
Sarens
Sarens, a small forested region, is located in the east of Moondown, at the site of the eponymous sunshards and moonshards. Highly religious, they follow a unique religion, guided by the Clerisy - powerful healers who deliberately touch and convene with the shards. Xenophobic, they are wary allies of Iah-Yah, though staunchly remember the two countries' bitter rivalries.
Its current leader is the High Cleric Amalthea, assisted by the Lunar Luxe Iocaste.
the Clerisy
Sarens' theocratic government, whose highest-ranked members touch the sun/moonshards to receive powers, visions, and fortunes. Lower ranks govern the country, and interpret the higher members' visions as guidance for Sarens as a whole. Flames are not allowed to serve as Clerisy members, but may assist them.
