| Description | A starfish man. The asteri have five sides to them, each an individual being, but only one or two will ever be awake at once. They appear to be spike-encrusted humanoids with red scales and strange faces. They are about 5' tall and they usually travel on the sea floor rather than swim. |
| Procreation | With each other. |
| Magic | One in five million has soul or heart magic. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is common. |
| Special Powers | Five people in one, the asteri are a complicated being. If enough of them is cut off, they can regenerate whole selves. |
| Weaknesses | Pestilence magic or faith hurts them. |
| Culture | They are solitary, sort of. They enjoy the company of their five selves, but generally not of other asteri. They are friendly enough, skilled at being healers and merchants, but they tend to be loners but for their other selves. |
