What A Soul Stone Is:

...Nimodra prepares herself for the upcoming journey, she visits the priests at her temple and purchases a small gem...

  • The small gems that are soul stones are created using a diamond and various divine spells.
  • They can be purchased in the temples of Layonara and are small, light weight, and inexpensive.

How It Works:

...and Tokel pulled out a small gem and kneeled for a prayer. Upon slowly returning to his feet...

  • When used it will record your True Name. A small sacrifice is needed to encode the gem with your name.
  • The form of this sacrifice comes as 100 xp lost.
  • A soul stone can only be used on yourself.

Carrying One:

...¦now Mandonas looks to his fallen friend, Bathul. Knowing Bathul does not offer prayers to his own god, Mandonas prepares for the taxing event ahead. The stress that would have been put on Mandonas was lessened because Bathul carried a soul stone. Now that Mandonas has intervened, Bathul will not have to suffer the anguish of his recent death for long...

  • If given to a cleric, he/she can use a soul stone to aid in the prayer to pull your soul back from the Plane of the Lost. A cleric can not read the person's True Name, but does know whose gem it is by a resonating warmth when near its owner.
  • Clerics intervening in the Death of one who carries a soul stone experience less of a burden than they would for one without.
  • Carrying a soul stone does not guarantee the carrier is raised or resurrected by a cleric as clerics are not required to raise every fallen hero. However, carrying one may increase the likelihood of a cleric doing so.
