REALLY having trouble trying to break this time-travel thing.
Milk it while we can, probably.
So travel back and run a duplication event.
-Can 'stack' multiple copies of yourself at one time, using time travel.
With the Ring of Before that would mean we could have multiple portals going at once.

DUPLICATION UNIVERSE -----|
Currently - plot needs 4 different dimensional portals, with T&T universe used at least twice for time travel.
Object is either a) in space
b) in an unknown location
c) heavily guarded as a priceless object
Or most of the above.
"Would the T&T universe ever have a duplication event" - that would cut it down to two trips.
Because the goal is to take the object and return it immediately, the same portal could work for T&T/Arduin in both directions - travel BACK, run duplication over a week, return to the portal.
Except that portals are at a random location on the planet!
That'd make a space raid easier.
That still leaves a) position b) forging
Strong possibility of altering continuum because event was so long ago.
Did the crash of the meteor somehow temper or modify the meteor - small amount obtained vs. the 'great light' seen - in space likely to have been a large rock rather than just the ore pocket.
If we need to just steal an arrow worth of the stuff anyway [1/3 of sword] - then, may as well do it IN THE PRESENT instead of a million years ago.
"Kyrrad" - the name itself means "radiation" [the glow]
Examiner could notice that.
*potential that NO kyrrad actually exists at the current time due to half-life..
Did exist 300,000 years ago (500,000 years ago).
Long enough ago material itself could have simply disintegrated (e.g. underwater).
