The night over Cormyr was bright tonight. A nearly cloudless evening where all people across the Forest Kingdom could enjoy and appreciate the sheer magnitude of beautiful stars and constellations in the sky. Those that happen to enjoy the splendor of the Celestial Sphere's skyline meet a most unusual site.
Rumors say, some eye witnesses, some friends of friends of eyewitnesses, that two stars danced amid the horizon. Distant beacons of light slowly circling each other until clashing brilliantly. Splitting the sky over the kingdom, great orbs of blazing fire descend upon the surface. Shards of this heavenly battle fall over the Kingdom.
A meteor shower! Explorers and Astronomers alike bristle with excitement. What stones or metals might have been carried from the heavens to gift upon the realms below? Does this signify a new era on some divine calendar? Simply a natural phenomenon of falling stars? The hunt for these valuable stones is underway. Both for the joy of discovery, and scavengers seeking to line their pockets by providing remnants for the highest paying collectors.
Rumors of the location of various crash sites around Cormyr run rampant,
If the touts are to be believed, meteors have crashed in the Hullack Forest, the Stonelands, the great frosted peaks of the stormhorns, and even other scatterings amongst the King's Forest or the lowlands of the Marsh of Tun.
A large gathering and crash site may be seen to the South West of Valkur's Roar, though it has been scoured and cleared by officials of the city and some passing adventurers.
With enough of these odd metal and stone shards, perhaps something could be made?

A tall Chessentan enters the Laughing Lass. Shouldering through the bustle with his usual affable, loose grin, Nicos Aporos coaxes a cock of brow from Mathand by ordering a Durparian Black instead of his usual large goblet of red wine. He responds only with a lazy shrug, then makes his way to a table more central to the greatroom than his usual corner preference.
While engaging in some light banter, the big man's demeanor is noticeably subdued. More than once he refuses the company of familiar women whose warm companionship is often directly related to how full their wine cups are, and who keeps them filled; women whose company he was known to welcome liberally in the past. The dismissals are without ire, but curt.
He sits mostly quietly, paying little attention to the usual banter that graces the place, instead, listening particularly for rumors regarding the night before's celestial light show and, when the off-duty Dragons begin to filter in, any note of rumored crash sites.

*Chief Inquisitor Tanya Steel investigates the closest crash site to Valkur's Roar along the High Road, organizing a fire brigade to extinguish their countryside from impact fires and securing the site itself. After a handful of adventurers show up to claim portions of the rock, Inquisitor Steel objects and stands firmly in defense of locking it all away until it can be studied for possible dangers. Her stance is promptly countered by Lord Nate Scatterhawk, who, in his infinite wisdom, opts to allow the material to be dispersed. Knowing the futility of arguing with a noble, Steel decides to at least record the names of those claiming fragments from the object*
