Lodestone...

I have not heard of the Lodestone... Do you know more about this?

And can you identify the girl?

[justbeingknife]

Hell, you'd probably know her if ya saw her. She was glowing like a lightbulb.

Anyhow, this stone, it was supposed to drink in the power of prayers to the gods. Apparently, that was enough to get the Day and Night gods to kill the guy who made it.

But once those gods were dead? The thing actually worked. It was the buildup of all that power that made things go haywire. Mostly, the power of selfish prayers.

We, uh, kinda had to destroy it, though.

I'd have to check my notes. Could be any mythological figure.

That's understandable. Better for it not to be in the wrong hands.

How did you destroy it? Do you know if there are fragments of it? Dust? Powerless rocks? Anything?

So apparently, that Lodestone was linked back to the girl's brother. She was all the good, selfless wishes, he was all the greedy ones.

After we beat the shit outta him, that's what ended it. But as for where you could find pieces of the old stone, well...

I don't even know how we'd get back there now. We had to pass through some crazy gates to get there, and... might not have even been in Bavan, y'know?

How very interesting... I hope we can learn more should this problem ever appear again.

...Understandable. Ryslig is notorious for covering its tracks and making it hard to find links with anything. Thank you anyway for the information.

[justbeingknife]

No problem. If anythin', maybe there's other records of this sorcerer.

Where I'm from, it didn't matter how hard ya wished for anything -- they were just wishes. But I suppose all this shows the same ain't true here.

[intercalaryninja]

I'll see what I can find.

Wishes are nothing without action in my world as well. I will work hard for the good of everyone and to get out of this nightmare...

[justbeingknife]

Best of luck. And hey, if I blunder onto something, I'll drop ya a line.
