Word has reached the streets of Redpoint that a lost artifact of great power lies to the southwest, in an obscure vale in the ancient Seawatch Mountains. It is the Blackstone, a relic of ancient power from a mythic age. There are only a few references to it in the tomes of history, all of them fearful and despairing. The potential for an era of unchecked evil abounds, unless you find the Blackstone first and destroy it.
