Description

My hesitation to discuss these symbols was not for a lack of trust in you, but rather the unknown nature of these symbols and the stones upon which they reside.

Yes, stones. Multiple, in fact. Scattered across the Isles.

You did not know.

Very well. Your persistence and willingness to seek me out shows that you are keen to understand your recent discovery. Perhaps it is time we discuss this at length.

The waygate sits just behind me. There is no way to tell how long we have until the waning enchantment on this vessel fades, or even worse, breaks. That amount of unstable energy being released could be catastrophic. Shall we continue?
