The peasants that were removing debris from an abandoned mine near Tagor knew they had found something out of the ordinary. As one ran to the nearest village to bring back a local smith the smell of death and decay began to linger in the area of the mine. When the smith arrived the smell had become so horrible the peasants had been forced to leave the mine. Shocked by what he found he immediately sent a fast rider to Loures to send out an experienced wizard.

Several suns later the wizard arrived. The condition of the area had continued to decline. Trees and animals were mysteriously becoming ill and dying. Crops were failing. Even reports of green skeletons in the area had increased. Many had speculated that the mysterious item unearthed was causing these things. It is said the wizard gasped with horror when he saw the object. Almost immediately the object was locked in a secure chest, brought by fast riders to the coast, and loaded on a ship which promptly set sail.

The wizard, who had never given his name, refused to comment on the object as he boarded the ship only saying that more study was needed. As the ship sailed many on the coast reported seeing a lone cloaked figure standing on a cliff overlooking the sea. It is said his eyes blazed red and could been seen from a great distance. When some men ran up to see this figure he had long since vanished.

Only later was it realized that peasants who worked at the mine revealed they too had seen this mysterious figure for several moons prior to the unearthing of the object but their sightings had been dismissed by local officials.
What is this mysterious object? How does this figure fit in? This mundane does not dare speculate. Perhaps in time more information will come to light.
