The Dark Star

The Dark star is a sun(?) that orbits the planet. That makes two whole suns. I'm joking it's the Essence Hub of the Living Flame but nobody has ever even thought of that, or confirmed it.

So if you wanna know about the Magic part of this thing go read the Living Flame's page. We're talking about this thing's effect on culture and lifestyle and how nearly all life depends on it here.

Provided you've gone and read the main page on this thing you'd know that, while is does function as a star, it does not emit light. At all. You can see it in the night sky, but you won't have a shadow. Hence the name, Dark Star.

Imagine it like a Light Bulb that doesn't make the room brighter but you'll still hurt your eyes if you look at it for too long.

The planet which Elementalist44 takes place on spins incredibly slowly, performing exactly 1 rotation every year; half of the year is day and the other half is night.

Good thing the Dark star is always facing the dark side of the planet at any time during the year otherwise we'd all freeze to death.

It still emits heat, despite it not functioning as a light source, meaning that plant-life and animals can stay warm all throughout the year, even if they can't see because it's still dark.

Some people praise the sun, other people praise both suns. The really crazy people sacrifice people to the Dark Star so it burns ever brighter.

They're actually the only reason everyone is still alive. The Living Flame would not be consuming any Flow otherwise, and the Dark Star would've burned out.
