Last post of the week, this time a new race, that belongs to the stars. The kick of inspiration for it was the star shower that happens after slaying Radahn, it just gave me the idea to make a race that actually comes from stars.
The subraces were inspired by the cycle that stars go through, more particularly the path they take to become supernovas. I might make another race, either expend on this particular race and make something that is related to black holes, I'll see. The 3rd subrace is a Patreon exclusive, I have to leave some cool exclusives only for there after all.
I'm working on gravity-based content for now, to make a full compendium when it is done. In the meantime, enjoy!
Take Care!
Starborn
Said to be born of the stars, starborns are found on sites where meteors crashed, making them exceedingly rare specimens. Most of them came to be during the rain of falling stars, when the Starscourge was slain.
