When the divine fight, the world changes. In the celestial heavens high above the mortal plane grand battles are fought. And as beings of unimaginable power clash, wounds are made, armor is broken, weapons chipped. And where else are these broken fragments of divinity to go but to the mortal realm?
Living fragments of divine power and will, made of pure mana, raining from the stars like meteors. Gifts from the heavens.
Mortals treasure these fragments above all else. Religious sects seek them, for they are the pieces of the divine themselves, while Thaumaturges, the makers of wondrous magic seek to harvest them, either for their raw mana or in order to learn the snippets of heavenly knowledge housed within each fragment. From these fragments great artifacts of immense power can be made Treasures with unlimited potential to do anything the mortal mind can imagine, cure disease, grant arcane power, to transcend the human form and transform into something greater, more powerful.
Thus, clans, tribes, and countries alike seek these fragments for their own purposes, using all kinds of magic to find even the smallest clue towards where these fragments will fall, it is a long journey falling from the celestial realm to the mortal realm, some fragments could take years, even centuries before they finally descend into the mortal plane. To have knowledge of where they will land is of greater value than nearly anything else save but the fragments themselves.
Right now, somewhere in the world, a star is falling, a mortal being is there waiting for it, they have consulted the soothsayers, made the preparations, and now they seek to claim their prize. Who is this mortal and what do they desire to do with this fragment of divinity?
