Tri-moon Shard

Summary

The Tri-moon shard, also called the Tri-moon Meteor, is a smaller fragment separate from the moon, much closer to the world, apparently falling or approaching in a way that threatens the Grand Towers, dome, and Barrier system.

Known Details

  • It is halfway between the planet and moon and locked in sync.
  • It appears aimed exactly between pylons.
  • Increased flow through pylons or attacks on the Barrier may speed its approach.
  • Stopping it may require a device to repel it and may require the Barrier to go down.
  • Valenth Cardonal and Geldrin calculated that the shard would probably still hit Grand Towers if nothing changed.
  • If the party stopped another shard, it would not be on course for ship 2.

Timeline

  • day-06: Observatory measurements identify the shard and its trajectory.
  • day-15: Brutor’s lore ties it to the first crack and containment device questions.
  • day-17: Council discussions make it an urgent priority.
  • day-27: Valenth Cardonal and Geldrin confirm Grand Towers remains threatened by the shard trajectory.

Open Questions

  • Who or what set the falling shard / Tri-moon Meteor on its course?
  • Can it be repelled without catastrophic Barrier failure?
