Amberstone

The Amberstone is a massive, intricately crystallized formation of amber, exhibiting a distinctly unique and captivating shape. Situated within the northernmost chamber of the Frostcrest Caverns, a frigid and remote expanse, the Amberstone is fiercely protected by the formidable Wyrm of Chaos.
The Dragonbane Order has long believed that this specific artifact played a significant role in enabling the Wyrm of Chaos and his allies to impose oppressive rule and cause widespread human hardship for countless years, known as the Twenty Year Scourge. This era of tyranny persisted for countless years, plunging entire regions into turmoil and hardship, until it culminated in the cataclysmic Draconian War, a conflict of epic proportions that reshaped the course of history.
During the Twenty Year Scourge, the Amberstone emerged as a significant artifact with a unique property - the ability to amplify light, imbuing it with enhanced potency. As the conflict raged on, Anaq's allies came to realize the potential of this artifact and sought to harness its power for their own gain, with the intent of weaponizing it. However, their efforts met with failure, and their ambitions were ultimately thwarted as they faced a tragic fate at the conclusion of the Draconian War.
The Dragonbane Order views the Amberstone as an immensely powerful relic with the potential to be used as a devastating weapon against humanity. Along with trying to shift societal perspectives on the concept of having dragonkin as companions, they are also dedicated to ensuring the Amberstone's destruction. They believe that the Dragonstone not only provides instructions on how to harness the power of the Amberstone, but also contains clues on how to ultimately render it powerless.

History

During the Draconian War, the Amberstone was wielded by the Wyrm of Chaos and his allies as a powerful weapon. However, following the war's conclusion, both the Wyrm of Chaos and the Amberstone were confined within the Frostcrest Caverns. Despite the wyrm's inability to use the artifact due to his lack of hands, it was assigned the duty of safeguarding the Amberstone against any attempts by humans to reclaim it.
