Among her followers, light eyed people are seen as having a closer connection to Astix. Those with darker eyes are generally viewed with distrust and many of the more supestitious followers of Astix believe dark-eyed people to be more prone to criminal acts and unsavory behavior. This does not influence social position, but does cause some social barriers. There is a similar belief about hair color, but eyes are seen as windows to the soul, so this belief is more prevalent.
