It shines an extraordinary bright light, and its descend is unusually slow. The star may bestow a blessing on the party (advantage on checks the entire next day), or grant a wish as per the spell of the same name. The crash site is now a blessed area, full of roaming fairies and blossoming flowers. They can collect star dust here, which is a valuable magical component.The Dark StarAt night, if a PC is keeping watch, they see an ominous red star with a pitch black core, crash to the surface. The falling star leaves a long orange trail in its wake, and crashes into the earth with a deep rumble and a bright flash of orange light. The resulting crater is littered with meteorite ore, which is a valuable crafting component for weapons and armor. However, the surrounding area is also infested with other worldly creature(s) (demons for example) that hitched a ride on the falling object. Surrounding plants and trees will be set on fire by the explosion, although probably not enough to instigate a raging forest fire.Meteor ShowerAt night the party can be witness to a meteor shower. Bright orange streaks of light shoot across the sky every few seconds. Clergy can interpret this as an important sign. It could be a sign of good fortune, or a warning of things to come (depending on how the DM fits this into the plot).Guiding StarA bright star appears among the heavens, guiding the party to their destination for the next couple of days. The star may be the blessing of a deity that wishes for the party to succeed, and clergy may be able to identify it as such.The Star SignA rare sight appears among the heavens; a star sign that is usually not visible, because the stars are too dim. Tonight though, its stars shine bright, and inspire clergy and bards alike. Clergy are aided in any prayers that they make at night, and bards can remember a song or tale about the star sign that they had long forgotten.Roll a D8 to randomly determine the shape of the star sign:1 - A knight. According to legend, this ancient hero completed a heroic quest that earned him a place among the stars. But his legend is now almost forgotten.2 - A dragon. Legend has it that this great beast once sought to swallow the light of the stars themselves, before it was banished to the sky. One of its stars is red; supposedly its eye.3 - A chariot. Legend has it that an ancient king once road a magic chariot into battle that could fly. But when he flew too high, he could no longer find his way back. 4 - A celestial. According to legend, during times of despair this celestial can be summoned to descend from the heavens and help to those who are worthy.5 - A ship. This star sign has the shape of a strange airship. Legends tell of an ancient people who traveled beyond the stars and never returned.6 - A turtle. The great turtle answers the prayers of those who are blessed to see its radiant light only once a year.7 - A golden serpent. Its stars shine slightly yellow. Legend has it that this blessed creature once turned itself into stars to end a never ending darkness.8 - An ancient god. This ancient deity was long forgotten. Its stars dimming further every year as belief in it wanes. Only once every few years its light flare up and the sign is revealed. The players can risk praying to this deity, but do not know its alignment.</blockquote>
