“The falling star that landed far in the west with a great roar.” Year zero.
Year zero (Second Age), by Svarog · a smaller meteor, some two megatons
Story
The Second Age began as the First did, with a stone from the sky, but this time it was catastrophe. Svarog dropped it on the First Fortress at the very moment the Dwarves were migrating into it, and blew the Fortress open with terrible loss. An entire dwarven order that had split off to go ahead was wiped out.
Consequences
- The dwarves remember it as their great wound, the one that only hardened them.
- The Time Keepers date all time from it: year zero (Ages and Time).
- The site has never been investigated.
