The outlying farmlands of Dessel are where the event took place. Jaskar was on his way to visit old farmer Frall yesterday, mid day. Just as he reached for the front door, what appeared to be a shooting star streaked across the sky, landing far off into the fields with a great crash. A shock wave followed, slamming into him with such intensity that he was swept off his feet.
Later, Slice Ranix was brought to the scene by some of those who had gathered to investigate. A mismatched pair: the first a tanned young man sporting a scraggly mop of blonde hair and garbed in robes of interweaving black and violet; the second a giant humanoid standing fully at twelve feet with bronzed, metallic flesh would arrive to lay claim to the meteorite. Slice and the Zul, Rheksas, fought the two away.
Reports have followed of people seeing Rheksas in the woods earlier that day, and some people point to the monolith's shady past and ties to the open Lich Duchess as proof that the non-man is responsible for the altercation which lost many farmer's a day's labor, and ruined one of Frall's lettuce fields. Others say that such allegations are baseless, for the Zul was instrumental, along with the Knight Slice Ranix, in driving the mysterious pair away.
So far no one has dared to guess what the omen might portend for Dessel in general. It is this writer's humble prayer that this incident was an isolated one, and that Dessel's recent years of prosperity might continue.
