The young Teacher Pryam produced a smooth spherical gray stone. Three runes appeared on the artifact.

The runes on the stone emitted gray light that mimicked the light of the Gray Sun Andreas.
Pryam continued, “Only four elemental stones and the Keotum Stone remain in Alms Glen. At the time of the disappearance of the Fire Wizard Yannuvia, the Mender Fisher presented a guard with the Keotum Stone, which affords protection from Magick. The Teacher Camille Aires discovered the Elemental Stones 13 years after the disappearance of Spellweaver Yannuvia and the folk of Lost Sons and 11 years after the erstwhile Teacher Kirrie and odd cherubic merchant destroyed two Kiennish forts and then disappeared. Though the stones are called Xennic Stones, our forebears possessed them long before the Spellweaver Xenn’s time.”
Xenn interrupted, “My mother Tiffanne told me she chose my name after a dream, not in reference to the stones. My name has served me well. Teacher, do the Annals speak of the significance of the name Xennic?”
Pryam stammered, “I…I thought you’d know more about the stones and derivation of your name. My forebear Kirrie wrote that the Lost Spellweaver Yannuvia first used the term Xennic. The lost Spellweaver said, ‘I’m told…Xennic Stones is merely a name for them.’ The Teacher Kirrie wrote of other stones. The General of Aulgmoor gave the Drelves a Healing Stone in an effort to form an alliance. The elders and the Great Protector Gaelyss surmised the Kiennite didn’t realize the significance of the artifact. Gaelyss kept the Healing Stone for a time, but the stone disappeared with Yannuvia and the folk of Lost Sons.”
