Starlight Element

"From times beyond the ancients', dragons have roamed these lands, in their origins, dragons were as diverse as wyverns or leviathans, not all of them possessed the dragon element, unlike the dragons of our times.

The Dragon element dates back to eldritch times, when life as we know it today had just begun, there existed two monsters of powers divine, one was the black dragon, believed to be the origin for most of today's dragons, this dragon possessed what we know as the Dragon Element, the other dragon, the Shining Dragon who possessed the Starlight Element, was killed in a conflict with the Black Dragon, an event that ravaged the earth and shaped the land, the few proto-men which were just discovering how to paint cave walls drew not two, but three figures, two long, serpentine dragons believed to be the Shining Dragon and the Black Dragon, and an unknown dragon similar to Teostra and Kushala, believed to be an offspring of the Black Dragon.

In our times, the Starlight Element is resurfacing again, it has been in possession of many breeds of neopterons and exotic plants, though another war between Dragons may occur, we now have the power to fight back and protect our lands, but the third dragon remains a mystery."

The Starlight element is a powerful element comparable to the Dragon element, it commonly produces bright lights of multiple colors and a short lived bright dust that is reminiscent of fireworks.

The Starlight element is unique in that very few monsters can utilize it directly, mostly dragons, while other monsters obtain the element by feeding on Starlight-infused berries and prey, such as Star Butterflies or Nebular Seeds, sometimes the monsters can't control the element and go on a rampage, these monsters must be hunted immediatelly and are known as the Starlight Deviants, these monsters develop glowing veins running around their bodies and starlight plants growing in the foreheads.

It has a blight like other elements, the Starblight, it causes the afflicted to hallucinate and see the world in different colors, some hunters with severe wounds inflicted with the element have suffered strong seizures, humans and felynes are unnaffected by the Severe variant, which is the one that causes Starlight Deviants to develop, but Wyverians and other Mer-races are not in the same luck.

The normal Starblight can be cured with a new medicine known as Dragon Extract, which, when used without a Starblight, can produce Severe Dragonblight.

Starlight Deviants and other severely afflicted Mer must be killed before they do any major damage, in the case of Mer the local guilds offer zero-cost funerals for the families.

Being a newly resurfaced element, there are only a few monsters which have been identified as using it, but the numbers of Starlight Element monsters and Starlight Deviants keeps rising due to its infectious nature.
