Every Age begins and ends with the fall of a meteor of unknown origin.
The three
| Meteor | When | Where | What it did |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Meteor | c. 6,000 years before year zero (First Age) | World’s Breach | The round crater; its shards enable Portals |
| Second Meteor | year zero (Second Age) | First Fortress | Blew it open on the migrating Dwarves; year zero |
| Third Meteor | c. year 650 (end of the Third Age) | the mountains by Heart of the Plains | Quake and mudslides; the Ballista Tower cracked; Sky Spear porous |
All three were Svarog’s. The last fell where chaos chose.
Traces
- Shards of the first make portal magic possible nearby, and the Cinderwing Cartel knows it.
- The Marrow Munchers smear slime from the fallen star on themselves as war paint.
- The Mages’ Guild buys up meteor fragments.
- The Time Keepers date time from the second (Ages and Time).
Now
The third just fell. The second meteor’s site has never been investigated.
