Eye of the Magi

Eye of the Magi is a comet that is the brightest and largest comet seen from the world in recorded history. Created by the Magi when they left the world it returns to the world every 2700-3100 years. It is visible to the eye for approximately sixteen (16) months. The effect on the world during this time is often catastrophic.

When the comet appears it begins and ends as a dull yellow star with a white tail. For several months around its peak visibility the twin tails of Junniloupe can be clearly seen. One of the tails is yellowish-white while the other is a brilliant blue-white. At this time the fiery yellow head of the dragon is clearly visible - including its dark eye.

The comet was created by combined efforts of The Magi before their exodus from this world. They used fragments from the Black Gates that had been destroyed along with the body of Junniloupe, the twinned dragon.

The comet has a powerful effect upon the natural flow of power from the Shadow Realms on Miranda. With the destruction of the Black Gates the chaotic flow of magic across the world returned to its a more sedate flow. Even before the comet is visible to the eye its core has affected the world. Instead of peaks and ebbs with the natural cycle of the world the strength of the Shadow Realms will peak as the world turns towards the comet. This effect can come about years before the comet is seen and last for several years after. The duration of the effect averages eleven (11) years.
