| - Tsaph Katta, Imperator of the troubled Combine, was holding a grand state banquet. Almost all nations and tribes were in attendance. The dwarven, gnomish and elven allies had ambassadors on hand as did the belligerent Tier'dal. Even the ogres and trolls were represented. All who received an invitation felt compelled to attend, such was the power and might of the Combine.
- Luclin is one of two known moons of the planet Norrath. (The other being Drinal.) Around 3711, Luclin exploded. While the majority of the lunar surface remained in place, the satellite was severely damaged, splitting into multiple pieces. Some of the ejecta from the explosion, including portions of the surface of Luclin and likely portions of the interior of the planetoid, was caught in the gravitational pull of Norrath and struck the surface. While it can be assumed that most of the material that made planetfall did so in the oceans (as Norrath is predominantly water-covered), many meteoroids did strike the surface of Norrath. (Thereby becoming meteorites by definition.)

| - Luclin is one of two known moons of the planet Norrath. (The other being Drinal.) Around 3711, Luclin exploded. While the majority of the lunar surface remained in place, the satellite was severely damaged, splitting into multiple pieces. Some of the ejecta from the explosion, including portions of the surface of Luclin and likely portions of the interior of the planetoid, was caught in the gravitational pull of Norrath and struck the surface. While it can be assumed that most of the material that made planetfall did so in the oceans (as Norrath is predominantly water-covered), many meteoroids did strike the surface of Norrath. (Thereby becoming meteorites by definition.) These Luclinite meteorites are generally iridescent blue-green in color and appear to have significant effects on the surrounding biology, beyond the mere physical trauma of geological impact. For example, in the Sinking Sands, Luclinite meteorites cause grass to grow where none exists nearby, and indeed without any apparent source of significant water. (See The Stilled Sea, /loc -841, -122, -989 for example.) Additionally, the mineral appears to have biorestorative properties, given that reanimated skeletal and decomposed remains seem to gain life in the proximity of Luclinite. Currently there are significant numbers of reanimated skeletal undead present at the aforementioned Stilled Sea meteorite, and had been present since its rediscovery. Given the date of the Shattering (3711), this means that only thirty years' exposure to Luclinite is enough to cause near-permanent changes to the biology of both plant and animal life in close proximity. Given that no morphological evolution has occurred in the reanimated beings in question over, in this case, approximately ninety Norrathian years, there is good reason to think that the reanimation happened in far fewer than thirty years. Significant trauma to landscapes from crashing Luclinite meteoroids can also be observed in a variety of landscapes including The Thundering Steppes and Jarsath Wastes.

The dwarven, gnomish and elven allies had ambassadors on hand as did the belligerent Tier'dal. Even the ogres and trolls were represented. All who received an invitation felt compelled to attend, such was the power and might of the Combine. As the guests entered the banquet hall, Katta was there to receive them. One guest came with a smile on his lips and poison in his hand. He had dusted his glove with empolomine, a slow-killing, hallucination-inducing drug. This guest extended his hand as Tsaph welcomed him to the banquet. With this handshake, the fate of the Combine was changed.
