Ardaithe

Ardaithe is a collective term for a few different peoples originating from unknown regions of space, or perhaps another reality. Having started as simple species of elk across many different worlds and planes, they were uplifted to sentience by a mysterious pantheon of deities to preach their gospel of Light and Order across the multiverse.
==Religion==
The Ardaithe are known for being overwhelmingly made up of religious zealots. They spend much of their time preaching about their gods, mysterious entities of Light and Order whose plans and prophecies seem to be concerned with Rathnir and Eldham. Their sermons often need to go through multiple translators in order to be understood by the general populace, however, due to the particular intricacies of Starspeak, their mothertongue.
===Starspeak===
Starspeak, like many languages, is largely vocal. However, it is also inherently something that can only be fully comprehended by the Ardaithe, as several components of the language involve the glow of their antlers/horns. These can include color for tone, or certain patterns of increasing/decreasing brightness for inflection, punctuation, etc.
==Culture==
===Origins===
Within their origin systems, Ardaithe culture looks vastly different. The Ardaithe have never seen themselves as one group, as there are potentially thousands of deities within their pantheon, and each clan, or Lach, within their society have slightly varying anatomy (mostly in horn shape + color) and believe themselves to be the mouthpiece of a separate deity.
=== Soli + Novar===
The Soli and Novar are the only clans to come to Rathnir or Eldham in large enough numbers to be notable, although this may change in the future. The Soli generally dress in colors reminiscent of sunlight, and have curving, golden horns. Novar vary, but generally conform to what we could think of as a 'Galaxy' theme.
