Cometes Exitio

Celestial / Cosmic

The sighting of the golden star above the skies of Rozan, the Cometes Exitio, is first documented by amateur stargazer Astrid Berehnsdottir, an Isgrani worldwalker sojourned in Rozan for reasons unknown. Subsequent accounts differ on the exact length of time the comet remained in the sky, however, compared to astronomical observations at different cities and locations, the golden star seems to have been a localised phenomenon.

The Cometes Exitio is often heralded as a sign of disfavour from the man-god Dwindal, then known as Prothero, for the state that the Republic had found itself after the War of Mer Succession commenced. Its appearance over the capital and lack of any corroborating evidence in other regions of the continent leads others to suggest that it was simply a trick of the arcane during Evocati exercises or that influence from the Aetherwode was to blame for the sighting of such a comet. Nevertheless, it held a distinct place in the psychology of the Rozani people, who were spurred on with grim resolve to right the wrongs that had occurred under their watch.
