Guiding Star (Symbol)

The Guiding Star is a religious and folk symbol that can be found all around Tarsis and Eastern Azora. The symbol originated in central Tarsis, referring to a star the nomads in the area saw that many followed to find and settle new lands. Many variations of the symbol can be found in Tarsis, such as the flower on the Jhanaveshan flag.

The early Ustarans who originated in Central Tarsis were one of the first groups of people to adopt the symbol. They followed the star which they called the "Fallen Star" until arriving in the province of Oyanamor in the Elyrian Empire. The star was only used as a folk symbol until 1100 AC when the Kingdom of the Ustars adopted a blue banner with the fallen star on it as its national flag. The fallen star is still used today in Ustara as it serves as the national symbol and appears on many political and regional flags.
