From the ground , the Tears appear as stars and are often identified as nine stars ( the other bodies are too indistinct to make out ) . The Tears are only bright enough to be seen at night , and even then they are not seen every night . The first tear appears above the horizon about four hours after Selûne rises , and it takes about three hours for the entire set of Tears to rise or set . History . Circa - 3500 DR an astronomer from Shou Lung , Tu Pi Chei , reported seeing many objects ' pop ' into existence . Soon , all of Toril ' s oceans were wracked by massive tidal waves . The Emperor was informed and the next night he too looked at the sky and saw the new objects . Twenty astrologers were tasked with determining their meaning . Most said that Shou Lung would expand inland , some said that a member of the emperor ' s family would soon die , one claimed that the emperor himself would become pregnant ( that astrologer was immediately put to death ) . Shou Lung did indeed expand inland soon after and is now one of the largest countries on Toril . The emperor ' s wife also died in childbirth later that year . The elves of Evermeet took it as a sign that the gods were pleased with their magical research and view the Tears with pride , while the goblinoids believed they were part of a plot by human mages to bathe the night in moonlight . They feared that the night sky would soon be filled with moons thus eliminating their precious darkness . Many have set out to kill as many humans and elves as they could for just this reason . Spacefarers tend to believe that they were created by a deity new to the sphere to hide the castle in the center of the cluster where it lives .

She sealed the warrior and his minions in a gem made of her life essence and wept with the tears coming to rest trailing the satellite of her namesake . The popular belief amongst those versed in such matters is that they are just a normal asteroid cluster that got caught up in the wake of Selûne . There are hundreds of them , circling each other , though the focal point of their revolution is actually a castle . The truth however , is that the tears are the result of a magic - fueled weapon created by dragonkind to destroy the King - Killer Star but when they fired it , the weapon missed and hit Selûne instead . Climate . Most of the asteroids are too small to have an atmosphere , several dozen though have air envelopes that can sustain life quite comfortably .
