The Blessing Stone

The Blessing Stone is a long, rod-like rock that is currently in the possession of the Keepers of Atnavinen. When the gods taught the people language in Atnavinen Valley, they used this rock to draw some pictures as visual aids. Their direct contact with the rock imbued it with power. It is currently guarded by the Keepers of Atnavinen. It is used as a religious relic and is often an object of worship.
Very few people have been allowed to touch the Blessing Stone, and only for a brief moment. These people's bodies changed dramatically when they touched the Stone, their skin smoothed, their scars faded, they were completely renewed. They had a glow about them, they captured attention and were often treated as angels or divine beings. They aged much slower for a long while after, and they lived much longer than would be expected. After the High Priest, High Priestess, and the Prophet of the Keepers of Atnavinen observed the people who had touched the stone, they quickly forbade anyone from touching it. The Blessing Stone was locked away and kept out of reach. It is now under constant guard.
Many people have tried to steal it over the years, because it is a powerful artifact, but thus far none have succeeded. The Keepers of Atnavinen hope no one does succeed cause it could be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands.

Significance

It is an important, unique object that is a reminder of the first encounter with the gods. It's the only object on Arshilkrin that the gods directly interacted with.
