The '''brightest night''' occurs when all three moons are full, which happens about every one hundred years. Not much is known about this rare phenomenon.
The term '''brightest night''' refers to a celestial phenomenon occurring roughly once every century,{{Ref|TBN|263}} when all three [[moons]] are simultaneously full.


According to the [[NightWings]], in relation to special NightWing powers, a NightWing dragonet born under one full moon grants prophecy telling, a second full moon gives mind reading, and the third was originally believed to gift [[animus magic]] until it was later proven that animus magic is transferred genetically. Now, it is believed that the third moon enhances the powers of the other two moons. This means that during a brightest night, any NightWing dragonets that are born have both mind-reading and prophecy powers that are all enhanced.

[[Battlewinner]] and [[Morrowseer]] came up with the [[The Dragonet Prophecy (prophecy)|Dragonet Prophecy]] to find a new home. The [[dragonets of destiny]] were born on the most recent brightest night, before the events of the main series. However, as [[Darkstalker]] later states, if [[Starflight]] had hatched under all three moons, he would have the same powers that Darkstalker did. [[Sunny]], too, might have had those powers, as Darkstalker received powerful mind-reading and foresight from the three full moons despite being half [[IceWing]], which shows that NightWing [[Hybrids and special dragons|hybrids]] can also have powers.
At the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', [[NightWings]] thought [[dragonets]] who hatched on the brightest night would have [[animus]] powers, but it was later concluded the third moon would only enhance their foresight and mind-reading.{{Ref|MR|156}}


==History==
== Timeline ==
Foeslayer stated during a brightest night that there had not been any thrice-moonborn dragonet in generations, indicating that no NightWings hatched on the previous brightest night, since dragons can live well past a hundred years old.
* [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]]'s hatching night happened on a brightest night, one of the three instances where brightest nights have occurred in the series.{{Ref|L1|10}}
[[Darkstalker]] was born on a brightest night. By using his power of foresight and animus magic, he could have made it so that his sister [[Whiteout]] hatched with him, but Darkstalker chose not to.
* During an unspecified point in history when [[Queen Cicada]] ruled the [[HiveWings]], a brightest night occurred.{{Ref|AGttDW|190}}
* A brightest night occurred in 5,005 AS when the [[dragonets of destiny]] hatched.{{Ref|TDPp}}

==Next Brightest Night==
== Trivia ==
During the events of ''[[The Brightest Night (book)|The Brightest Night]]'', there appears to be a second "brightest night", many decades before the next one should have been. This was caused by two full moons and a comet passing very close by the planet. [[Fatespeaker]] predicted that the comet would kill everyone in [[Pyrrhia]]. This did not happen. Instead, the comet caused minor earthquakes, one of which snapped the moonstone bracelet enchanted to keep Darkstalker in his eternal slumber. So, Fatespeaker was pretty close about the world ending. The next ''true'' Brightest Night would be about one hundred years after the one the dragonets hatched on. The specific date for the next brightest night would be around 5,106 AS.

==Trivia==
*It is mentioned several times throughout the series that Clearsight may have thought of the brightest night as a curse, because of the powerful NightWings that could hatch from it like Darkstalker.
* Starflight is the only known full NightWing to hatch on the brightest night and not have any powers. This is likely because he hatched underground, away from the moonlight, as the [[Talons of Peace#Guardians of the Dragonets|guardians]] were unaware that it would gift him powers.
