Zintha is an icy world that orbit around a living star named Thar. Zintha was settled eons ago by survivors of a space war that had nearly wiped out their race. Thar was responsible for having invited the survivors to the planet and as a result was worshiped as a god. The Zinthians then sworn to avoid a future war by never again traveling to the stars and that their isolationist sentiment soon evolved into a religion in which even to gaze at the stars was considered blasphemy.
