Message: <blockquote data-quote="Razjah" data-source="post: 6082319" data-attributes="member: 98806">The Abandoned Orrery High atop the peaks of the Djard mountains, waiting in the crisp chill air is the Abandoned Orrery. No one knows who or what created it, but from those who have returned from the place speak of a great tower with a giant mechanism to track the movements of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and other celestial bodies. The Orrery is ancient and has detailed craftsman ship that would make any dwarf worth his axe weak in the knees. The place seems to radiate with power, but magic detection will reveal nothing other than the colors becoming sharper. The place is filled with strange mechanisms that have all stopped moving. It is said that runes can be deciphered to allow use of the Orrery to see any place on the plane. But, the Orrery is missing a gem from one of its housings. The gem housing rests where light from many mirrors throughout the room reflect light. It is the brightest spot in the entire tower. With the proper gem installed the mechanisms will be activated again as light filters through to several pieces of colored quartz in the floor, just below the stone dais in the center of the room. Atop this dais rests a stone throne like chair. Any who sit here while the Orrery is functioning will be able to divine any location on the plane as if they were seeing it themselves. Runes on the throne, if translated warn of using the Orrery too often or too long but do not specify as to what happens if this advice is unheeded.</blockquote>
