Through the dense woods of the Strand, you notice a glimmer of starlight ahead. Excited, you hurry on forward and come upon a large clearing. There you see dragons laying on the grass peering skyward. Some Fae dragons point excitedly at the sky, tracing symbols in the air. A Guardian gestures lazily at the stars; a Tundra huffs and writes something down on their scroll. Other dragons are peering at their handiwork, scrutinizing the pen marks on the page.
A Spiral flickering with Arcane energy passes by. He’s quick to notice you; scampering over with a greeting.

“Welcome to the Starwood Strand! I’m glad that you aren’t hurt. Everyone at the Observatory is trying their best, but with SpaceDad gone, most of his other experiments have gone a little out of whack.” On cue, a large explosion occurs from the distance. You crane your head around, peering back at what appears to be - pink flames? - flickering from far away. The Spiral twitches his paw at the sound, ruffling his wings slightly. “We’re looking for scholars to help with this.” his head tilts towards the stars, grabbing the telescope attached to his midsection and lazily gesturing around with it. “The Arcanist may have created a new galaxy system with his latest… experiment, and all the other Arcanites are busy doing damage control.” He mutters something else under his breath that has words like [i]naps[/i] and [i]I better get a month’s worth for this[/i], before remembering that you were standing there. “Anyway, if you make yourself comfortable, we’ll get you a scroll and pen as soon as we can.”
As he scuttles off to address another group of dragons that just arrived, he calls over his shoulder, “Don’t worry about the pink flames - we’ve got our own fire brigade on call! Watch out for the meteorites!!”

[quote=Stella]For a Skydancer that spends most of her time in the air pirouetting among the stars, it comes as little surprise that Stella's belongings are covered in a thin layer of stardust. The lapis lazuli gems she wears seems to catch the starlight and hold onto it. This Starfall, Stella is eager to see the new constellations that the clans create. [/columns][/quote][/i][/size]

Unlike their crystalline cousins, Nebula Floaters are oddly sweet. They may also cause fang decay.

Star Moss
Plant
A dull gray by day, Star Moss sparkles vibrantly at night. Some say it even tastes better then.

Star-Nosed Mole
Meat
Universally regarded as quite possibly the most unfortunate-looking animal on the face of the planet. I mean, c'mon.

Moonlight Strider
Insect
It can dart effortlessly across the surface of a moonlit pond, yet it can't escape a hungry dragon.

Sakura Owlet
Meat
For a time owls sought to build nests in the Observatory at Focal Point. They quickly stopped when their owlets began turning pink. (Special thanks ZephiraZ.)

Chalcedony Craylet
Seafood
The vibrant exoskeleton of the chalcedony craylet appears almost artificial. After being consumed, flecks of its shell are often used in mosaic patterns, as they retain their brilliance long after the animal's passing.

Aether Hermit

Some say this crab can shoot beams of arcane energy at foes, but this one only pinches. Maybe it's out of mana?

Celestine
Minerals & Ores
Massive quantities of celestine are found in the pillar-like rocks that stretch out below the Observatory, but almost nowhere else in the realm.
45
Pink Chalcedony
Minerals & Ores
The Crystalspine Reaches, once granite mountains, are now entirely made of chalcedony after extreme arcane vortices warped their physical properties. Prolonged exposure to this radioactive silica can make non-arcane dragons very ill.
45
Rhodochrosite
Minerals & Ores
This vibrant mineral is commonly mined from hydrothermal vents off the coast of the Starfall Isles. It acts a catalyst for creating arcane metalwork.

Unicorn Dust
Organics
A pinch of unicorn dust and happy thoughts can allow a dragon to fly! It seems impossible, but it is true!

Cerdae Sparkle
Organics
Cerdae shed has fallen out of favor as a light source in recent years. Recent acquisitions of the material produce a sickly red glow.

Firestarter
Organics
These baubles spontaneously produce embers. Great for starting a campfire, great for burning your den down.

[center][b]The Starsoldier Constellation[/b][/center]
[quote=Lore]This constellation gives strengths to the dragons exalted to the service of the Arcanist.
Stories among soldiers say that the Starsoldier was one of the Arcanist's greatest soldiers to fight in the battle for Dominance, and that no Wind, Nature, or Earth dragon was a match for his might. His work was so renowned, that when he finally fell in a mighty battle, the Arcanist plotted a few stars just for him, and the soldier's spirit lives on to guide and protect the newest recruits.[/quote]

A tribute to bravery and accomplishment in adversity, The Ascent depicts the Arcanist himself climbing despite his obvious impediment. Some find it a little vain, but many dragons in dire straits and situations unwelcoming of their unique selves look to the stars to give them courage, as his did long ago.
