Welcome to Blue Star

In the far North of the Takenlands is a pass that goes to Ath.  Sitting along the path is a small settlement known as Blue Star.  The town is dominated by the monastery and temple of a group called the Sisters of Selene.  The temple admits no men over the age of 13 however, all sexes are allowed into the town of Blue Star itself.  While there are men in the town the towns government and officials are mostly female.

Small town dominated by the Massive temple of Selene.  The Temple grounds include offices, religious areas, tombs, training grounds, gardens, healing pools, and even a dungeon for those unfortunate enough to see it.  Men older than 13 are not allowed on Temple grounds and will be violently expelled from its premises.
Town has one Inn that is quaint and well run called HammerThorn.  The Inn often has various Wizards, Historians or Explorers passing through on their way to the mysterious city of Ath.
Many young men in the city live in the Sons of Selene Dormitories.  These are men who are children of various sisters but are now too old to live on temple grounds.  They range in age from 13 to 18 at which point they are forced out of the dormitory as well.  Most are practicing various trades crafts.
