What to do
Description
{name}, I have something strange, here. While scouting in the Storm Fields, I found this rock a beast was chewing. Look at it! Could these be runes? Writing? But so ancient? Here? What could it mean? Strangely, I think I've been hearing a voice in my head since I found this thing... We must investigate further. Maybe we can find more of this rubble in the bellies of those beasts?
