Again, this was never their intention. They were trying to make themselves a homeland where they could go and be left alone by everyone else. |

Yet they later came right in the middle of the human lands and create Cormanthyr. Something that makes no sense if they wanted no interaction with the rest of the world.
Yet again, dragons can be evil, but only if chromatic. But the dracorage affected even metallics, that have goodness inscribed down to the genetic level. Something that the elves didn't take into account with their curse. |

-I always figured it was a plain, regular comet. Some kind of celestial body that appeared every so often, and triggered the activation of the Mythal.
-If the reason behind the Dracorage hadn't been a planetary Mythal, I could've seen the King-Killer being some kind of sentient entity whose presence exuded some kind of aura that drove them mad. Would've been cooler than the actual explanation if you ask me, but... |

-Eh, not really. The presence of Elves in that area predated that of Humans, going back to the Elven Court and especially old settlements like that, and Cormanthyr eventually reached that hard-to-get dream of everyone (Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings) kind of existing in happy unison. |

In the Realmspace Traveller's Guide that I'm working on for DMsGuild, I'm adding a belt of ice to the outer regions in the system of Realmspace, much like what we have in our real life solar system.
Within the belt of ice are remnants from the Dawn War (when gods and primordials went at it for domination of the crystal spheres) - frozen corpses, hidden treasures, planetary debris, and imprisoned creatures.
If the King-Killer Star is a comet that originated from the icy belt, it could be connected to the Dawn War, in which case primordials, titans, artifacts, and gods are on the table.

| I'm hoping to incorporate it in my game in the far future. Maybe have the dragons go crazy and cause mayhem in Faerun. There is potential to bring in other side quest as well |

| Are you playing in a year before 1373 DR? Because in the novels, that was the year that some people (helped by a few dragons) destroyed the Dracorage Mythal forever. You should check Dragons of Faerūn. That books has a complete recap of the story of the Dracorage mythal and dragons npcs and organizations and such. |
