[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5807373, member: 6673727"] Phedilo's cringe from Maui's head pat turns to a sigh of resignation. [COLOR=YellowGreen] "Master Eanos, you truly were meant to undertake this task: that is a far more suitable question than one might initially imagine."[/COLOR] In contrast to his earlier nervousness, Phedilo's tone while he speaks about the object mirrors the calm, rehearsed confidence of an experienced academic. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"The item in question is a Stone of Chaos, a true artifact of the Entropic Plane. I say "of" and not "from" because the item in actuality originates at least in part from our own plane. From what I've been able to learn through my research, the Stone was created sometime during the passing from the Golden Age to the Years of Darkness, many hundreds of years ago, by a wizard on the northern isle of Illi Esse. There, the boundaries between the planes are much thinner than in most of E'n, so it was an ideal environment for creating a stone which bridged the gap between our plane and another."[/COLOR] Phedilo pauses a moment, as if slightly uncertain about the wisdom of continuing with the unmitigated dispensing of his knowledge. Still, he continues, perhaps slightly more uncomfortable with what he is saying. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"The stone is...capricious. To say the least.
