Stones of Anothath

The three Stones of Anothath were created by the Archmage Anothath before The Great Upheaval. When all three of the stones are brought together they can turn anything, living or nonliving, into stone. While the original purpose is unknown it is thought that it was used to help speed along the building of great cities. It would allow buildings to be made of simple materials that would be turned into stone when finished. Upon his deathbed Anothath gifted one of the Stones to the Race of Dragons and the other to the Race of Men. Upon his death the third stone was buried as the cornerstone for a monument commemorating Anothath.

In the year 2940 AGU during the events of The Cleansing Storm the three stones were once again brought back together. The stone given to the Race of Dragons was watched over by Oronth and the clan of kobolds who worshiped him as a god. It was stolen from him by a band of adventurers while they laid siege to his cavern network. The stone given to the Race of Men was stored in a long forgotten city near the new town of Octoberg. The Third stone, the stone used as the cornerstone to the monument of Anothath was dug up by Fire Team and captured by the adventurers facing Mancos.

The stones were successfully used against the Great Wyrm Mancos, turning him to stone and currently remain at the feet of his stone body.
