Help With Understanding...

Hi All,

I need some help understanding what this is trying to tell me:

• An ancient comet impact severely damaged civilization which has recovered to an extent.
• There are x number of quadruplets of black stone pillars made from the melted rock from the ancient impact crater.
• These are dispersed throughout the continent
  • Some at religious sites
  • Some nondescript
• They have induced dreams in some that have been exposed to them.
• So far the dreams have been of the past.
• There is an evil wizard interested in the pillars.
• There is a group or two of adventurers that is just discovering the existence of the pillars.
• A seer is beginning to tell a prophecy about the stones and the people looking for them.
• Another comet may be coming…

I was kind of cryptic on purpose, hoping to spark something from others. Not sure it that worked completely but thank you two for contributing. Looking to connect these dots into something coherent for world building and story.

Some new insights: Myth has these comets as Wyrms (great dragons.) And thinking astronomically time between threatening comets is on the order thousands or 10s of thousands of years. My main block is what are the pillars? What power do they hold?

Saga of Orm
"The sky calmed after the great Wyrm roared overhead. Then the Wyrm rose in the east – an inferno; as if the world was turned around, its fiery breath ruining all before it and the land awoke with great shudders; then the sky fell in bits and mounds until all went dark - never again to brighten."

Inspired by lines from norse saga below and an image of comet Tebbutt.

"The rock-monsters groaned, the stone-fields thundered,
the ancient earth all moved together;
then there sank back that fish into the sea."

Great Comet of 1861, also known as C/1861 J1 or comet Tebbutt. Beyond this date, astrophotography began to capture Great Comets and major comets. Illustration via E. Weiß, Bilderatlas der Sternenwelt.
