Estonars are a race of Desna worshippers who inhabit the star Cynosure, gateway to the demiplane of the same name that serves as her realm.

Appearance

Estonars are elegant, silvery, 10-foot-tall beings. Their six crystalline wings grow larger and more intricate as they age.

Ecology

Estonars can live for millennia, and seem comfortable within the star's heart.

Habitat

Estonars claim to have lived in Cynosure since Desna attached her realm to the star. They regularly visit her palace to learn from its inhabitants, returning with new, elaborate designs for their crystalline houses in Cynosure.

Society

Estonars sometimes serve as emissaries between mortals, tritidairs and the mysterious Spheres living in the heart of Cynosure. They were affected by the memory erasure of the Gap like all other races, and are quick to dispute rumours that claim they knew something about that period due to proximity to a deity, as they realise that Cynosure would be hounded by strangers if such rumours take hold.

Estonars enjoy travel and are curious about the lives of other species, particularly fellow star-dwellers and how they build structures that can withstand a star's unique environment. Estonars build large, shining, solar-powered starships that often stop to aid those in need and linger near stars to bask in their light. Estonar starships are usually considered to be a sign of fortune, and the Desnan shrines within starships are often adorned with the miniature of one. Estonars always return home after their travels and never settle outside Cynosure.

When Cynosure needs to be defended, the estonars deploy their starships armed with cannons that shoot burning starlight or are powered by solar energy, which can be used continuously within Cynosure with no need for ammunition. In times of peace, estonars keep their advanced, deadly weapons safely hidden from others, but are happy to share their designs for other technology.
