Holy Books & Codes
Those who adhere to the faith of Astrina recognize a set of works known as "The Scrolls of Primary Knowledge" to be the holy books of Astrina, with most of the various scrolls that make up the collection having been authored by various philosophers, poets, and scholars who follow Astrina. The scrolls outline what is considered by Astrina and those of her faith to be the most important foundational knowledge to have. Worshippers of Astrina often commit parts of these scrolls to memory, with the intention of using this foundational wisdom to guide their paths through life. The scrolls say little of direct worship, instead focusing on basic rules of philosophy, psychology, physics, code of law, and foundational skills for poetry, conversation, and comedy. The most specific knowledge contained therein lies within the scroll titled "Basic Atmospheric Phenomena", which goes into detail about lightning and storms (giving advice on how to build structures to withstand it and basic safety) and the scroll titled "Scripture on Roldkorfell" which details much of what mortals know of the plane Roldkorfell, the home of the draconic gods.

Tenets of Faith
Followers of Astrina believe that life is made best use of through the disciplined pursuit of a wide variety of skills and knowledges. They believe that an individual who does not seek to build up their skills and knowledges is throwing away their lives, and also that those who specialize too greatly into one field are being inefficient and also will find themselves lacking in important areas in their life. Because of this, Astrinian worshippers will often seek to diversify that which they study and practice greatly, between endeavors like philosophy, sciences, arcane practices, physical training, and otherwise. Because of this, even scholars and arcane practitioners who follow Astrina can often be surprisingly muscular, and manual laborers and warriors who worship Astrina are usually uncharacteristically well read.
