Namely, that a piece of hell can fall from the sky just as assuredly as a portion of heaven. And for the ancient peoples of far antiquity, the comet that blazed across the horizon was unquestionably a gift from the heavens and a boon for the masses. Thus, a fervor spread amongst the people. The old gods were repudiated, their idols defaced, their great temples razed. A new religion sprang from the mania; the Cult of the Comet was born. Led by astromancer-priests, the people worshiped the fiery orb as the one true God. Decadent rituals and obscene rites were performed under the open sky in reverence to the approaching star, for surely the tumbling orb was a gift from the heavens. They couldn’t have been more wrong.
