Bearclaw Valley distant stars come in black or red.

BABIES! welcome to the world @Avicus and @Aventus - i have left the agency of how you are born up to you - feel free to powerplay astara however you see fit, i will roll with whatever. <3

the day grew dim and the wind picked up speed outside astara's shallow den. occasionally there came from the creeping dusk the sound of a lone call, yet eventually night swept all under its navy net and all grew quiet.

astara could not find comfort in those receding hours. as the stars brightened and the sky deepened she found her restlessness give way to pain. then, instinct overruled her petty mortal whims, and she was put to the insurmountable task of labor.

astara had been holed up under tumbleview's stony crypt for days, but it would be hours yet before the nightshade re-emerged from the den.
