A '''Star (Lethurîa)''' is not a roiling ball of superheated plasma, as understood in many universes, but a radiant rift—an aperture between [[It'slâmwâ]] (the Realm of Celestial Light and Spirit) and [[Yedistren]] (the Material Realm). These rifts bathe entire planetary systems in the '''[[Light of It'slâmwâ]]''', nurturing flora, sustaining lumivores, and serving as the sacred gateways for spirits both entering and leaving Yedistren. Every star is both a bridge and a barrier, essential to the cosmological, spiritual, and biological tapestry of [[Lethurîa]]. | A '''Star (Lethurîa)''' is not a roiling ball of superheated plasma, as understood in many universes, but a radiant rift—an aperture between [[It'slâmwâ]] (the Realm of Celestial Light and Spirit) and [[Yedistren]] (the Material Realm).

The [[Nâ'ôna]]—luminous, ageless, and compassionate guardians—reside here. They are the second spirits to have entered [[Yedistren]], following the [[True First War]] and the great migration of the [[Free Spirits]]. Though technically mortal, the Nâ'ôna are untouched by time and bear radiant “celestial flames” in their chests.
