== Culture ==
The natives on Canticle are primarily descended from inhabitants of [[Threnody]] that departed for the planet soon after the [[Evil]] attacked their ancestors. As such a great deal of Threnody's cultural norms persist on Canticle.{{book ref|tsm|15}}
=== People ===
The natives on Canticle are primarily descended from inhabitants of [[Threnody]] that departed for the planet soon after the [[Evil]] attacked their ancestors. Many have pale skin, though nearly as many have darker skin close to an [[Azir|Azish]] person. Some people, although not too many, have a variety of shades between.
These people tell each other lots of stories, though all of them have some kind of moral. A lot of the stories they tell involve children being eaten by shades.
=== Language ===
The people on Canticle speak a language very close to the language Threnodites speak. The only known examples of this language are ‘Sess Nassith Tor’ which means something like ‘one who escaped the sun.’ and ‘Kor Sess Nassith Tor’ which probably means something similar.
=== Clothing ===
The people wear a wide variety of clothes. Officials are often seen wearing high collars that reach all the way to the chin, they are swathed in clothing and all of them wear gloves. Some wear formal white coats, with open fronts and insignias on the shoulders. The civilians wear mostly muted colors. Some women wear skirts, though many prefer long, skirtlike jackets, their fronts open to reveal trousers underneath. Many—both men and women—wear hats with wide brims.
Many had pale skin, though nearly as many had darker skin like his. A smaller number had a variety of shades between. '
=== Surviving the Sun ===
As Canticle’s Sun kills anyone who touches its light, the people are constantly running from it. To do this, they live in large flying cities{{cite}}, each located in a different ‘corridor’ (latitude). {{book ref|tsm|15}} The cities are in turn made out off smaller ships, which can link together. {{book ref|tsm|3}} Each city elects a Lodestar, who is the chief Navigator, as well as the leader, of the city. {{book ref|tsm|20}}
