The Lachla Shards (Book)

The Lachla Shards was a book uncovered in Queen Nua's mansion, covered in dust in the library of a once prominent noble family.

The Lachla Shards are artifacts, shards of an incredibly rare and unique diamond that was used to power a flying craft that arrived in the land from another plane within the multi-verse. Unfortunately, the ship crashed and with it the Lachla Stone shattered in 5 shards.

Despite the huge gem being shattered, there remained psionic power within the shards, which would be sought over by new visitors to the land as a second spelljammer arrived, though they called this a 'Nautiloid'. Hiding the five shards across the land, they mindflayers were unable to find them, despite devouring the brains of any who they came across in the hope of finding the knowledge within.

It is believed that one shard was stolen away by drow in the underdark, but would later be stolen by a traitor and powerful mage who sought to harness its power for himself. The other four shards remain unknown, but it is believed that one may act as a beacon for the other. And the keeper of a single shard may know the location of the others.
