Crafted when the Jotnar walked the lands and Odin ruled the skies, the Jotunn Star was used to guide the Giants home after expeditions; their own defiant star.
The Jotunn Star is an incredibly powerful tool for the heroes, and therefore should be not be given lightly.
Crafting or acquiring the Jotunn Star should act as the climax of an adventure.
I would recommend having the heroes slowly acquire pieces of the Jotunn Star throughout the adventure, such as the chains, the lantern, then finding a forge to light its flame- perhaps meeting the only remaining Giant who would know its secrets. Get creative!
