And the gems' destruction with the fall of the Temple of Id scatters splinters of them all over the North, which are then discovered by a certain mage to have special properties where magicks are concerned....
Infinity War!

Anyway, I definitely think that this plot hook can be used in other eras as well, including the modern (Year 1030) one.
Another thing I like is the idea of the Stargem being like a brother gemstone to the Jewel of the Sun from the FFC. So the Stargem and the Sungem could both be instrumental in the destruction of the Temple of Id.
Some further associations:
Pacuun: God of the Sun. Sunsword.
Khoronus: Also known as the Starlight General....
