Stone of Peace

The Stone of Peace is no ordinary stone. Well, it is, but it is a flawless opal the size of a Drake egg mined from the broiling depths of Mount. Witch. It is shimmering veins of red, orange, yellow, and white that all convene on a center of a peculiar stone one would swear is the same material as the Aldr K-kep. Rumors are kept circulating without resolution on purpose. The estimated value of the stone alone exceeds ten million fuur, but that is not the end of its value.  

Enchantment

Like its counterpart, the Ovnepiv, gifted a century after the conclusion of the The Great Drake Humi War, so too does the stone represent a fundamental of a conclusion to the war, peace. To represent this, Ntelnu took years of planning and years more of enchantment to create the peaceful effect of the stone. When completed, it was offered to the then-current leader of Haseh Hmti, Queen G*guh Kiha. It is the counterpart to the Ovnepiv, the gift given by the queen to the then leader of the Humi.

Its effect is, well, that of peace. When in the vicinity of the stone, displayed in the capital remembrance museum, amidst the horrors and atrocities of ancestors, Witnesses will be overcome with a sense of peace. What that means varies from person to person, being their personal understanding of what peace is. For many, it relaxes and brings a quiet sense of joy. For others, it quells storms in heads and uplifts those brought down. The effect lingers a few minutes after leaving the sphere of influence but does not give the partaker any urge to experience it again. They may want to, but to bare witness to the stone as a relic, rather than to get more of the effect. This is one of the more important enchantments as it would be quite a problem if people became addicted to it.

The Ovnepiv states that it was the Humi item and the Stone the Drake one. That might be a good add to this. It is a b=nifty idea of enchanted peacestone.

Fascinating. I'd love to hear more of the stone's history. Has it actually been used to stop wars? And if so, how long did that last?

Thank you! It wasn't really used to stop wars, just as a peace offering at the conclusion of a war, a reminder. So far, the descendants of the peoples at war are still at peace, and it looks like it will continue that way for a good long while.
