Honestly it was just a MacGuffin to get my character into Undermountain. He'd been searching for records of it and had traced it back to there. "Said to possess incredible magical properties, legends suggest that it could unlock the secrets of Gnomish engineering and potentially alter the course of history" was what I gave him in my backstory.
Since then, I've discovered that Halaster has been using it as a paperweight. I guess the DM took the Starstone idea and ran with it, because the Construct in our group found a different one that was basically like the AllSpark (or whatever from Transformers) for his people.
All of our campaigns happen in a shared universe, so it's cool to think that something I threw into my backstory might carry over to other stories. My Paladin, the lone survivor from Curse of Strahd, is chilling in Phandalin. My Aarakocra Druid, who went to Icewind Dale (Rime of the Frostmaiden) to find a way to get his broken wings fixed is back in Chult ready to lead a war to destroy all Earth Elementals.
Who knows if any of that will ever get revisited, but it's cool to know they're there and that my Rogue, if he survives, will be the head of a Secret Society/Faction.
