Text[edit]
- "What are bloodstones?" From notes taken by a young Nicholas Sandford in discussion with his friend, historic figure Durmand, a renowned historian.
- Read on.
- Last time Elder Dragons awoke, Seers put magic in a stone (to save it from dragons). This worked. After dragons went back to sleep, gods came and hoarded bloodstone and other treasures in Arah.
- Read on.
- Abaddon, god of water and secrets, gave the stone away to some races. This caused wars, because people fought over it. King Doric begged that it be taken back so the battles for power would end.
- Read on.
- The gods agreed. They used Doric's blood to seal the stone (blood + stone = bloodstone) and it broke it into five pieces. They threw them in a big volcano. Of course, it erupted, and spewed them out.
- Read on.
- People found them and used them for evil, like Mursaat. Not all have been found.
- Read on.
- Bloodstones affect an area: healing and cursing, for example. The four bloodstones (fifth was a key—whatever that means) have properties: aggression, destruction, preservation, and denial.
- Read on.
- Magic flows from the bloodstones back into the world. Bloodstone shards are rare, but still known to affect anyone or anything within range. Bloodstone dust is far less effective.
- Put it back.
