The Monolith

The Dark Stone

That is not dead which can eternal lie. The Monolith stands on a barren island of unknown location, no life grows from the dead soil, and no animals lay upon its beaches. It is a blasted heath of an island, the only landmark being the dark stone atop the hill.
Those who have been to this location, and have touched the stone have come away with power beyond there means, and sight beyond there eyes. This sight covers the land with black crystals that look similar to The Monolith, as if it is watching them somehow.

Paranoia

Those who have been "chosen" by the stone have suffered paranoia ever since, from the feeling of black crystals watching them, to a looming rectangular shadow following them. Some common beliefs displayed by followers of the great black stone are listed below:

• The end is coming, I can feel it.
• The darkness lurks beyond others view.
• Eat, Drink, Consume and ignore the coming.

Home

The Monolith resides on an island of unknown location, most who find it wash up there from a shipwreck, or have found it in the eye of a storm. Some have said they were in the Sorrim Occean, some have spotted it north of Eblesh. The exact location remains as much a mystery as the stone itsself.
