About: The beloved but sometimes ambiguous leader of the StarDashers, Endara has been the prophet for her race well over fifty years. An empathetic ruler, Endara strives to maintain peaceful relations with all the StarDragon races willing. While seemingly frail, its been said Endara's magical prowess is something to behold and even those around her have mentioned feeling rather daunted by the aura the prophet radiates.
There has been some growing tension recently with Endara's rule in that a couple years back her apprentice had been murdered while on an emissary mission. This has caused some uproar as the manner of their death indicated Shooters as the culprit. However the main trouble has been that Endara has yet to take on a new apprentice since the event... causing many to worry that she may pass before properly training a new Prophet or worse... she may pass before declaring an heir at all and leaving the race without a leader for the first time in recorded history. When asked, Endara simply gives a soft smile and states "Fret not. It is not yet their time to step forward."
StarDasher government style: Many are perplexed by how the StarDashers have a single ruler, being a race that is made up of small scattered tribes and villages that may never actually interact with one another in their entire existence. The key to their race's government is through their prophets, who often act as a spiritual network and allow them to while not directly communicate with one another, give insight to the goings on of various groups. It is this link that allows the StarDasher to remain connected despite the physical gaps, as should one village be attacked by Shooters, the prophet can use their abilities to forewarn other nearby villages of the danger and thus they can respond accordingly.
Each village is generally overseen by a small council of elders and prophets, a title which is then passed on from master to apprentice. Most commonly this is passed onto the elder's descendants but it isn't uncommon for the apprenticeship to be given to a non-blood relative in the event the elder had no children or they feel their own bloodline was not equipped for such a role. In smaller villages, they may only have two or three elders while larger settlements one could encounter a council of upward to a dozen elders. Generally a village doesn't have more than one prophet regardless of size, but there have been instances where a settlement has two.
Religion: While the StarDashers give respect to all the dragon gods, they consider Raziel their primary patron as he was the dragon that blessed their race with his boons. This devotion has at times caused them to butt heads with StarSweepers who also consider Raziel their patron, and a few times the races have had quarrels over which race Raziel loves more. It is also not uncommon for StarDashers to engage in nature-worship, leaving small shrines of tribute in parts of the forest or in desert oasis as a way of paying homage to the spirits they feel overlook such sacred areas. Though that said, one can find devotees of any of the dragon gods among StarDashers and even StarDashers who don't particularly pay homage to the gods tend to be a bit more superstitious than the other StarDragon races.
