Star

A typical star is massive piece of the Burning Domain excavated by a titan or some other similarly powerful creature, and used as the foundation for a new luminary. Once removed from the Burning Domain, a star will behave much like a World Realm, though perpetually bathed in elemental fire. It will possess continents, oceans, flora, fauna, and even civilizations. Entire societies will rise and fall on the surface of a star over the course of thousands or even millions of years.

Overview
A star grants hospitable warmth and energy to luminary it inhabits. This is the direct result of elemental fire, which produces an unnaturally hot fire, which radiates heat and energy out into Wildspace. This in turn provides hospitable climates to though World Realms located far enough away from the star. Those realms who end up too close to the star (for one reason or another) end up as fiery balls of molten rock, stripped clean of their Veil and covered in fire elementals.

Since most stars are excavated pieces of the fire plane, they are artificial in nature. Created by titans or other near-divine creatures through complex magics. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Most elementals who live on the surface of a star never manage to leave the confines of their terrestrial world. In the rare exception in which they do, a firemarch originating from a star is among the most devastating elemental march of them all. When another Realm is completely conquered by fire elementals it will turn into a new star.

This can be particularly devastating for the majority of luminaries, who are all precisely balanced in distance from the central sun to provide the maximum potential for habitability. It begins a cascading effect that ripples outward throughout the system, as each new star begins to massively heat up the nearby planets. This, in turn, creates new stars as the fire elementals wash over the planet in question. This process will continue until there are no planets left in the luminary. Any Shard Realms located nearby will also be affected, often becoming massive battlefields between terrestrial void creatures and fire elementals as they each try to take the Realm for themselves.
