| A glowing iron fragment | |
|---|---|
| Look: | Pale white light surrounds a jagged metallic shard. At first the fragment appears to glisten and shine with a crystalline quality, but upon closer examination you realize this is due to a layer of condensation that has frozen fast to its surface. |

Presumed to be a fallen star during the Cosmic Conudrum event, the fragment is imbued with lunar energy. The fragment will quickly lose its power unless stored in a star-streaked sack. This sack will only slow the rate of decay, and most fragments will become useless after a week or so.
Any newly generated fragments currently have a life span of one week, but after the festival that will drop dramatically. Your best bet after the festival will be to use them, give them away, or sell them quickly. The life span may become as short as an hour or so. There will be new sources for people who still need them.
If handled without hand armor, it will cause minor hand and skin wounds due to the extreme cold. If there are many fragments in the same sack, you may experience minor eye injuries from looking into the sack. (The more fragments there are, the brighter the light in the sack.)
Source
The fragments were originally found in the company of rock fragments after a meteor impact. As the Holy Festival 392 grew closer, they begun to be found on the bodies creatures.
Just before the festival opening, there was a large meteor shower and hundreds of them appeared on the ground over an hour's time.
Study
From a Clerical point of view
Though the fragment has been heavily polluted with Lunar Magic, you feel a thrill of divine meaning through your soul as you unravel its design.
The influence of three gods converge within the fragment. You sense that the fragment is intimately connected to Tamsine and considered a holy relic by the grace of Phelim. Dark and destructive -- yet no less holy -- currents ripple through the fragment as well, connecting this piece of iron to the terrible will of Huldah.
The connection between Tamsine and Phelim, along with the Lunar pollution, suggests that this is a star fallen from the place where Phelim suspended it. Its appearance and physical composition are manifestations of Huldah's influence, capable of turning divine tears into something deadly and base. You intuit that if the star is left as it is now, Huldah's influence over it will continue to grow and finally become ascendant.
Despite its fallen state, you conclude that it is still an important relic of Phelim. Outside of whatever purpose the gods have set for it, you could likely amplify the Phelim's Sanction spell with its presence.
Focus
You feel an intense chill through your mail gloves.
You focus your magical senses on a glowing iron fragment.
You detect a powerful charge of Lunar energy emanating from the fragment.
The charge is inexorably dissipating but does not show any signs of stress yet.
Though it appears at first glance to be nothing but a Moon Mage's curio, you detect a trace of divine meaning hidden within the strange magic. Careful study and reflection of the fragment could reveal more.
Uses
Fragments are used to charge the god totem (received by praying to your god at Holy Festival 392). If a fragment is used on a capped totem, there is a chance that the user will receive a level 1 RPA bonus.
If held during casting, the fragment enhances Phelim's Sanction and Starlight Sphere. However, this will accelerate the rate of decay.
