    Lady Aspera Chillwind,
    Inquisitor of Oscura.

    Those who seek the knowledge, will uncover the following book, penned by none other than the Lady herself…

    @d8f6b7c67c=ArUlric:

    Initial Thoughts and Lore Concerning the Gem of Life
    Scribed by the Lady Aspera Chillwind

    Words, the last breath of my father spoke of the Gem of Life. Its existance is bound to my line, and in my soul I feel that somewhere in the realms it still lingers. The properites of this Gem remain trapped in the depths of lore, however, its history was written in the annals of my house that I retain still among my most treasured possessions. For it is these which show the very essence of what was, and what shall be again.

    Sec.1 Appearance of the Gem of Life.

    The Gem of Life took on the appearance to the mundane eye of a great emerald, multi-faceted in its crafting and with a faint luminescent quality. Whether this light source was enfused magically into the gem or latent from its carving cannot be said, however. Upon the eight faces that make up its sides, four are carved with intricate elven runes. It was held within the great tower of the Citadel, grasped in a pair of twin hand crafted of silver and blessed by the priests of the Seldarine. One of a man, the other of a woman.

    Sec.2 History of the Gem of Life.

    The Gem of Life was crafted thousands of years in the past, as such that even the long-lived memories of our elven libraries cannot discern nor divine its crafter. It was known across the realms of our most glorious people for its beauty, but also for its mysterious energies.

    It was written first as being contained within Evermeet in the possession of my ancient ancestor Belanaer Chillwind. He shared my inner flame, and was given the Gem by the people for it was judged that he could maintain its purity of purpose and control it. This scholar retained possession of the item when he left Evermeet, his reasons for doing so are, however, lost in the mists of times.

    It was he, the Lord Belanaer, who travelled unto the spine of the world and upon the rock of the mountain, carved the Citadel that was to be Tor Thanan. Thus it was, with his complete mastery of the Gem of Life, that he was able to cast up the marble walls with ease and shrouded the realm in a mask of illusion so complex that no single mage could ever hope to unravel its weaves. Thus it was that the Gem of Life was to adopt its place in the very pinacle of the Citadel in the Chamber of Life.

    Many years passed and Belanaer left the realms for he was older than the trees and had weathered more than the rocks on which our Citadel shone. So it was his son, Cer'ilthan Chillwind who led the council of our people are took upon himself the mantle of Guardian of the Gem of Life. Yet the legacy of the Gem's power was to fall upon the most fell and vile ears of all: that of the drow.

    Like a vile swarm, the forces of the most depraved Queen of Spiders spilled from the Underdark, blades drawn and shields held tall in the name of war. The Darkness would never prevail over us, and as they fell upon our citadel, they were cast back. Thus as the wind buffets the storms, so we held high in our city, arrows and spells crackling in the air as they sought to breach the walls of force erected by Belanaer.

    Though they are cunning, and it was through this that they stole that which was most precious to us: the life of Cer'ilthan and the Gem that was the very essence of my people. History recalls that a poison blade of vilest cruelty was thrust into his chest, the toxins taking hold and the agonies of his passing audible.

    So it was that the Chamber of Life was empty, and the purity of our line undone by its loss. Though these assassins made a single mistake that was to cost them. For the power of the Gem was not contained solely within its own contruct, but additionally in the hands which clasped it. In their greed and avarice, the drow cast aside this item of beauty, seizing the Gem alone. Though this was no great ointment, for the loss was keen, and the sickness we felt as the creatures of the Underdark handled it was acute.

    Thus the title of High Loremaster fell to Cer'ilthan's brother, for he had no sons. Melanar Chillwind wrote in his tomes that his spirit itself seemed to contort in his frame as the Gem was in the possession of the drow, for it had been bound to our bloodline by the power of Belanaer. Reaching out with eyes of the weave, a grat convocation of wizards was called that the source of the Gem may be divined.

    Enacting the rites, their power enriched by the Seldarine cast aside the work of Lloth, and the truth of the vision, as horrific as it was, burned forever upon the conciousness of our people. For the drow had taken this Gem, dedicated to Life, and anointed it with the blood of 10 noble elves in the name of their foul god, capturing their souls within it for all eternity. The heart of this vile fallacy was a Priestess of this Goddess, and it was she who befouled our enchantment. Her name was lost to history, though unto our people she was known only as 'An orias-cython'e'yenlui' or the Red-Serpent of Chaos in the human tongue.

    Driving out with their wills, the High Loremaster sought to wrest control of the Gem from the possession of the Drow. Though the distance was too great and her power too potent for his strength to prevail. So it was, that in his guilt, he took it upon himself to regain the power of our people, and the lost honour of his brother. Garbing himself in the gear of war, he walked from the City Gates alone, his robes flapping in the ethereal breeze. This was to be known to our people as the Day of a Thousand Tears, for it is said that all the elves wept upon this passing.

    Little is known of what transpired in the depths of the underdark, for Melanar had not life long enough to explain its details. For it was several years until he returned to us. His spirit broken and mind shattered, he materialised in the Chamber of Life, his eyes live with energy and his body ignited in wreaths of flame. All who were there had to look away for the radiance was too great. Striding forward, he returned the Gem to the place from which it had long been absent. Yet, this was not enough. The flames licked higher and his spirit itself began to be destroyed in this mysertious conflagration. It was in this moment, that it ended. Melanar was gone. Scholars have argued over what occured, though it is my hypothesis that Melanar's pure elven spirit was needed to re-bless the gem, his was the price that all that was symbolic of the Children of Belanaer be returned.

    It was from this time unto the destruction of the Citadel that the Gem maintained its quiet energies, symbolising the nature and freedom of my people and their hearts. To this day, however, it has been lost to all eyes.

    Sec.3 Properties of the Gem of Life.

    During its time in the possesion of the High Loremasters of Tor Thanan, the Gem manifested several properties depending upon the individual who had the use of it. This is well documented, and each relationship with it collected in journals and grimoires. Its intent in creation was to be a symbol of the elven race by holding the essence of that which is elven within its heart - using the eternal spirit of our people and harnessing it to defend and grow.

    It was through manipulation of this property that the hated foe managed to pervert this. For the Priestess, instead of binding only the willing and using their souls in the eternal pursuit of that which is good, she managed to compell the souls into the gem, and forced them to do her bidding. In this case, it is likely that the Gem would extend her life overlong, beyond that of the longest elven span.

    Under the power of Belanaer, for example, the Gem of Life had tremendous abilities which can only be aspired to in these days. However, under the use of Cer'ilthan, the Gem was unreactive and cold, barely granting him any energies at all. It was hypothesised at the time that perhaps the potency of the enchantment had begun to fade and that the weave had begun to unravel. However, my father, Aethedril had a great grasp of the Gem's powers and he was but one generation away from myself. It can only be suggested that there is still some latent sentience within the Gem itself which actively chooses who to grant its powers to.

    If, however, one was to consider what the 'average' effect of the Gem was upon a mage, then one would consider the High Loremaster Cireon'al of five generations past. He was able to make use of the Gem to power spells in order to heal those of elven blood in pain, to grant his spells special direction of purpose and power. However, its effects are often so subtle they are rarely perceptible, it is only when the Gem decrees that there is any great powers released from it. And when released, these powers cannot be matched by many forces in the realms.

    Another, interesting property is that the Gem makes the divinations of the wielder far more acute and clear. This property, is however, attatched to the hands clasping the gem, and was the reason, in my opinion, that Melanar was able to discover the location of this Gem through the will of a Godess.

    There was however, a book written in and retained by each High Loremaster upon the true properties of this Gem. It was written that only he or she may see its true nature and have the knowledge of its true energies. Thus the information presented here is mere conjecture based upon eye-witness accounts and entries in journals.

    If any deeper reasearch is going to be carried out, this book must be found. Perhaps with its acquistion the location of these items would become clearer.
