The Nevinyrral's Disk is an artifact from Magic: the Gathering collectible card game (the cash cow that generated the money for the WotC to buy D&D franchise...): http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/D...eid=159266

This object has a "peculiarity" that makes it quite "arnesonian", i.e. its name is the reverse spelling of a real person (Larry Niven) that somehow helped developing the game.
It has also a more literary resonance: it is an artifact from a long lost past, that has the power to halt and erase a section of a story ( http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Nevinyrral ) by destroying completely one major part of the world and all its history.
Confidentially, it sounds a bit what happened during Blackmoor's last days... do you think that a similar artifact could feature as a trigger for the Rain of Fire events with some credibility?
