-Despite the moniker, the meteor shower happened in the space of multiple days. As the first meteors entered Arthos' atmosphere, the sky ignited with embers and wildfires ravaged the landscape. Anyone caught near an impact was either killed instantly or died soon after from asphyxiation. Population centers devolved into total chaos and many perished in the pandemonium. Those who survived were either in tiny communities far from the nearest impact, or fled underground. It is believed that a few [[dwarf|dwarven]] cities benevolently took in refugees whereas most turned non-dwarves away. [[Dwarf]] historians contest that it was the other way around and that the other races could not have survived without their altruism.
