Mysterious Stones of Riven
The Mysterious Stones of Riven -
Stones that were found in the small town of Riven, just south of Caltay, whose only shared characteristics are their startling clarity. They are as clear as fogged over glass, and they have a surprising tendency to make those that touch them vanish. Experiments with these objects has yielded some further information, however, and it seems that while handling the stones in any direct fashion except while wearing things like gloves causes one to succumb to their unnatural power, indirect interaction such as through the manipulation of cloth or containers like bags does allow the stones to be held aloft and transported.
The origin or purpose of these stones continues to elude understanding.
