The Red Comet

The Red Comet, also known as the Red Star, the Traveling Star, the Star of Sorrows or The Harbinger, is a comet that is assosiated with major events. Spell casters report that it's presence in the sky influences and enchances their abilities, and historians claim it always bring change on a very large scale whenever it passes. When it has cleared the horizon, it casts a clear red-tinted light at night, and can even be seen during the day. It seems to always cross from east south east to west, and its passage takes several years. Little else is known to most people, but many know that the last time it passed some 200 years ago, the Empire of Asteria fell. Details around this event have since been erased on most of Genobackis, with all books on the subject, as well as historybooks from Asterian time destroyed or hidden away.
