Name origin

Larawag is the Wardaman name of ε Sco, from the Northern Territory, Australia. Larawag is part of a procession of beings along the curve of stars in Scorpius, acting as the signal watcher, noting when only legitimate participants are present and in view of the ceremony. He gives the “All clear” signal, allowing the secret part of the ceremony to continue. This procession is related to the bats that carry Ginan.
