Rumors and Such: The Black Tablet

The current storyline focuses on an item of reputed power known as the Black Tablet. The heroes have gathered the following information about it:

• Vardigas Asmos reports that the Black Tablet is relic of great power that will aid in the casting of a warding ritual which can be used to protect the town of Berador from gobling and kobolds.
• Lady Caer Branloth concurs with this information, but she seems to be hiding additional information.
• Vardigas Asmos has in his possession a book he calls the Tome of Evronkeep which reportedly gives the location of the Black Tablet as hidden in a lost dwarf temple in the White Mist Mountains northeast of Dalton.
• Lady Caer Branloth agrees on these facts. She also has mentioned that the Tome of Evronkeep is of great interest to her because it is an ancient work from the early days of the fallen tiefling empire, Bael Turath.
• The heroes recall conflicting stories about the power of the Black Tablet:
  • It has the power to invoke a powerful warding spell.
  • It has some power of influence of goblinoids and could be used to unite goblins.
  • It was used in the orignal rites and rituals that created the tiefling race.
  • It is part of a key to an extradimensional prison of some unknown sort and use.
