Event
The Great Comet of Current Year
A great comet has been sighted in the night sky, its strange light casting eerie shadows over the land. Yet as ominous as this would seem, the astronomers at the Observatory of Taqī ad-Dīn claim that this is a good portent, that heralds well-being and splendor, and our triumph over the Super Sinister Rival, at long last.

7681historical_info = flavor_tur.104.historical_info The Great Comet of 1577 was studied both by Taqī ad-Dīn in the Ottoman lands, and by Tycho Brahe in Denmark. But Taqī ad-Dīn was asked by Murad III to interpret what the comet meant as a portent, and his optimistic predictions did not come true, as the realm was beset by plague soon after. This contributed to the destruction of his observatory a few years later.
