Hello everyone! And welcome to the Dragonstar Development Blog! This will be the first in a set of blogs describing the world in which Dragonstar takes place in.

In this blog I'd like to discuss my inspiration for the fantasy world that Dragonstar takes place in, Astasia, and the potential that it holds for future spin-offs and sequels.
Astasia is a single kingdom on the continent of Erzae, on a planet that is not named. It's environments range from mystical forests, to beautiful meadows, to snow capped mountains, to volcanic wastelands. Creatures of all shapes and sizes bring both prosperity and conflict to the five races that inhabit it: the Humans, the Tai, the Drakin, the Elvain, and the Cerill. But not everything is peace and prosperity...
Every ten years in the kingdom, a brutal demonic force that has been known since their arrival as the 'Var', a short term for demons, attempts to enter the realm and destroy all life. With the arrival of the first Varstorm, as their invasion is called, the southern region of Astasia became tainted and polluted with a demonic aura, and has since been known as Xylgi. In a selfless act, the lord of the immortal and powerful Dragons, Ignitus, plunged himself head first into battle with the Varstorm, and used every ounce of his energy to drive them back to their realm. In his state, he had to seal himself away in a very strong form of energy known as the Dragonstar. Ignitus would then choose a special being whom he would give the Dragonstar, and after ten years the Var would regain their strength and attack again, and in those ten years Ignitus would lay dormant and rest, and on the day the Var attack again, the chosen being would give their life to break the seal, and unleash Ignitus so that he may defend the world once more from the Varstorm. This process has been a part of the world of Astasia for nearly 200 years, up to the point when the game 'Dragonstar' takes place.
