ascian

One who has no shadow. An inhabitant of the torrid zone, who twice a year have the sun directly overhead at noon.

Example sentence: "They are mysterious to me, these ascians," said Balrone, "for twice each year, at the very instant of noon on the equinoxes, their shadows vanish, and they appear to me to be enchanted."

Ascians

People who live in the torrid zone and therefore cast little or no shadow at noon.

I'm educating those poor Ascians. Look before you leap
