The Travellers

Star Children.

The Travellers are enigmatic beings that show up seemingly at random. There have been sightings of both a young boy and a young girl, always with the same ethereal presence, and stars infused in their bodies. They seem mildly interested in the world, and its events, but are easily startled if someone seeks to interact with them. Like they don't expect the scenery to speak.

They seem curious and a bit dreamy, or perhaps absent-minded. They always seem to sway and hum to a music only they can hear.

If you can manage to hold their attention, they have seemingly infinite knowledge. They will speak of past, present, future, gods and forces beyond our ken. At times giving a great boon of knowledge.

Very rare books contain the transcript of their knowledge passed on to mortals, they are worth their weight in gold to the right collectors.

They can appear and vanish almost instantly, usually seeming to take stock of a situation and moving on. There are countless theories and hypothesis on their beings and purpose.

One foolish mortal attempted to call and slay a Star Child once, for the title of being the first one to do so. The child simply looked at him, and he, his family line, and army were turned to dust. It has never been attempted since. His name has not survived, only his cautionary tale.
