The ore was brought to the city and examined, where it was determined to be not of this world and contained fantastic magical properties over earth and stone. However, it seemed to have the ability to attract creatures of earth to it, specifically gargoyles. In an unprecedented event, one hundred gargoyles from all over Ardania took to flight, their destination Dragonreach. Their goal was to recover the stone for themselves. And they would tear Dragonreach apart to find it.The wizard Belesaro devised a plan. He used the power of the stone to create a magical ward over the city, turning all the gargoyles in town into lifeless stone statues. He then sealed the stone away in a vault and made four gems that locked the vault. The four gems were then placed in the eyes of four gargoyles across the city: a white one in the Hall of Heroes (a temple), a gold one in the Dragonreach Academy, a black one in the Clocktower, and a silver one in the Great Bazaar.Recently, a group of gargoyles called the Stone Children discovered that the ritual Belesaro used can be reversed; freeing the frozen gargoyles while petrifying all the humans of the city. They attempted to recover the black gem, but a distraction caused one to drop it to the street below. A wandering merchant found it and, realizing it was magical and thus valuable, sold it to the greatest magic shop in Dragonreach. The PCs get involved when the shop is robbed in the most peculiar fashion…</blockquote>
