Black Stones
Dwarfs used small round black stones for communication, a common practice among the dwarfs of Oblon before the country was formed. Each clan had its emblem marked on these stones, then placed by their respective borders. The rocks served to communicate the borders between clans and avoid conflicts. However, over time, these stones have lost their original purpose and have become a part of the Museum of Oblon, where they are now displayed as artifacts that depict the history and traditions of the dwarfs.
Apart from communication purposes, the clan leaders also used these stones to settle disputes and arguments. They had a unique method of doing so, which involved throwing their own stone up in the air. If the stone landed with their mark up, they were considered correct, and if it landed with their mark down, they were considered wrong. If both stones landed with their mark down, they were required to apologize to each other, and if both stones landed with their mark up, they would keep throwing the rocks until one of the stones changed its answers.
Even today, some dwarfs follow this traditional method of settling disputes. These stones hold immense significance for them, representing their ancestors, the old warriors, and the artisans who used them before them. The rocks symbolize the rich cultural heritage and history of the dwarfs of Oblon, and they contribute to shaping their identity. Some of these stones can still be found around the old borders, and the dwarfs leave them as a sign of respect and reverence for their country's history.
However, it is essential to note that these stones should not be taken lightly. The dwarfs hold them in great esteem and consider them to be sacred. If you happen to be traveling around in Oblon and come across one of these stones, it is advised not to pick them up. If the dwarfs find out you have taken one of these stones, they will take severe action against you and your family. They will mark you with the same mark inscribed on the stone and link it to an ancient rune spell that will ensure that you and your offspring are forever barred from entering the country's borders. Therefore, it is essential to respect the culture and traditions of the dwarfs and refrain from causing any offense or harm.
