Tablet of Mynosas
The ancient ruined city of Mynosas lies along the western coast of King's Bay. It stands as a monument to the height of ogre civilizations lost to the ages. By a facinating and awe inspiring feat of magical protections the stones of Mynosas have endured many thousands of years of weather and pillaging by daring adventurer's and frugal peasants alike. Along with the statements adorning grand pieces of architechture and engineering of the city, some unusual fragments of writing were also preserved in the form of ledgers and tablets.
The Tablets of Mynosas are thin sheets of hard stone marked with a variety of instruments ranging from crisp metal nibbed pens to large clumsy fingertips as if done to soft clay, recording an array of mundane merchants tallies, shopping lists, flirtatious poetry, and notes by well-to-do students. The casual use of these seemingly fragile sheets of dense granite and marble to record trivial daily figures and prose suggests they were mere childs play to create by the standards of their era, but no acadmy of arcana today can replicate them without intense effort or great investment.
Beyond their curious magical nature, the Tablets of Mynosas hold a trove of historical insight to a great imperial civilization that fell many thousands of years ago, from or about which few other sources of writing have been found. Captured in stone are the memories of daily life among the elites of this great city, with the flavor and nuance often lost in more official and intentional artifacts. Adding to the sense of their mundanity are the sheer number of tablets recorded. At close to three thousand having been transcribed by the great libraries, many scholars have dedicated their lives to studying these relics.
