The "strange comet" in 1019 - how does that relate to the Dwarves? Connected to the economic depression?

I've been putting the date of the mines about 40 years further back (460) to reconcile with the line on pg189 of the 4eTFC sourcebook “nearly 600 years of mining”; that'd give about 570 years which is just close enough to 600, I think but still in keeping with "DA1:63; “over half a millenium ago”.

Some interesting bits about dwarves in Daves'[ Izmer writeup too...

I'm cool with including Izmer on my Blackmoor map because Dave put it on his, but the movie was so terrible its really easy to see why anyone would shy away from that. "My" Izmer though is Dave's Izmer - what he wrote, and has no more connection to a vaguely remembered Hollywood movie in my mind, than Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings has to Tolkien.

The "underground fortresses" is an interesting thing to note, as is the commentary that they do not (usually?) do magic.
