So I've been thinking a lot about how stars are viewed by your average person in the Sirdabi caliphate.
I know SOME stars are explicitly seen as gods by those who believe in them (i.e., Nirzali being the pole star), and Nirzali's legend would seem to imply the other stars are at least seen as beings with some form of consciousness/sentience... I think I remember reading about Maysa being a goddess as well, but I can't recall where I found that tidbit.
But if people do think the stars are gods, is this a belief that applies to every star - are they ALL thought to be gods of various size and importance? And would this be limited to pagans - do Azadi believe the stars are angels, perhaps, or do they not personify them at all?
Apologies if this info is somewhere and I missed it!
