    I hope it's not another shardfall. Those are becoming a serious problem

    Maybe its the white fuzz of an intergalactic space-faring dandelion puffball... just taking it's time before it lands and crushes someone's house. Maybe it's spoors will start an myconidic-zombie invasion! Let's just hope they have good loot.

    Quick, someone start the conspiracy theories about SotA being taken over by Warhammer! ;)

    (For those not familiar with that setting, one of the major factions/symbols of the human Empire in the Old World fantasy setting they have now dropped was the two-tailed comet of Sigmar - a sort of originator demigod/hero type for the major human state in the game, and whenever the comet appeared in the skies seriously bad stuff tended to happen).

    For the record, @EMPstrike (aka Arkah) wrote to me a week ago in-game about monitoring and observing the phenomena using the Ordinis Observatory.

    Several documents by the Ordinis Astronomical Society chronicling this phenomena are available at the Ordinis Mortis Observatory.

    Does the society measure timescales for these events?

    it was brought to my attention by Sol Stormlin about 8 days ago, since i have observed it getting closer. Its too far to be a shard fall, and i contacted Director Daigoji about it.

    Since then i have also noticed on rare occasion, meteorites of a peculiar blueish green color streaking across the sky.
