Hello, there! I'm Astatine, element number 85, one of the rarest of them all.

There's only about one ounce of astatine in the entire earth's crust, and I only exist as a result of uranium and thorium decay. I'm very highly reactive, and am even more metallic than iodine! My name comes from the Greek work "astatos," which means unstable. People have actually never found a use for me, but I think that they'll eventually come around to find my real power!

About Cirthark Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in December of 2012.

During the incubation of this egg a series of 30 rune-like symbols appear on the outside of this egg. Ancient Arkians used these symbols as the basis for an early runic alphabet.

About the Cirthark Creature

The last pattern of runes that appear on a Cirthark's egg are the ones that appear on its face. Many believe that these runes form a part of the creature's name and will incorporate them into the name that they give their Cirthark. The Science and Research Center has discovered that this belief isn't far from true. Cirtharks use these facial markings as part of the way they identify each other.
