What is Star Catcher?
_________________________________________________________________________
We are The Fallow. A herbivorous and peaceful people. We have a duty: to be stewards of this sea and to free the souls lost within it. They are the scattered star-lights in the sea and the sky. We free the souls by guiding them and offering passage to the Beyond at the centre of our world.
