| The fallen sky-stone northeast of [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]] was first a promise. In the days after the Stonehome warning, while the horde was still rebuilding damaged war machines at Stonehome, Þýdal sent a party north to investigate the recent meteor. The village needed anything that might strengthen its defense, and old stories said metal from fallen stars could become extraordinary weapons. | The fallen sky-stone northeast of [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]] was first a promise.

| The journey was dangerous, but the party returned before the horde reached Þýdal. They brought back enough star-metal for the village smiths to work in haste, and from that metal came [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:asteroid-forged-warhammer|Thordak's warhammer]] and [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:starspike|Starspike]]. One of the new weapons showed magical properties, which helped send the village toward [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-amber-tower|The Amber Tower]] and the rescue of Fróð Erikson. | The journey was dangerous, but the party returned before the horde reached [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]].

| At this point in the story, the sky-stone mattered because it armed Þýdal. The later disease investigation and goblin study belong to [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:return-to-the-sickened-sky-stone|Return to the Sickened Sky-Stone]], after Þýdal's refugees had reached Niðaróss. The first expedition ended with star-metal in the hands of desperate smiths and a village still racing to prepare for the night the horde would come. | At this point in the story, the sky-stone mattered because it armed [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:thydal|Þýdal]].
