The word "starborn" is an archaic term from a less scientific age that has become far too ingrained in our vocabulary to ever lose. The power that we, the chosen ones, wield does not come from a 'star' at all, but from what we now know to be a comet. 'Estrathian,' as the elves long ago named this celestial object, appears twice a century to fill our world with its vast magical energies. Five human children born in or around the time the comet graces are sky are imbued with a concentration of magic beyond all others. Most know this, but only those who have studied the old Dhavic texts understand that this power was never meant for man . . .

--Dracus Mobius, Starborn of the 11th Generation, First Bishop of the Onkai Order
