The World Watcher brought the tale forth, and adventurers have been searching for it since.

Each of them pursued it, a race to find it, secure it, and return with it. For decades they sent mercenaries, spies, strike forces, and adventurers. Many died in this ‘friendly’ competition. Until, in CY ___, right before the Fall of Dundaria, a group sent by Krastivir managed to find it. Somehow the others found out, and the race to secure it was on. Several groups were hired and sent, attacking each other, only to be ambushed by another. Krasivir finally went himself, despite the personal peril. He managed to wrest it from one of his competition’s groups and return north out of the valley.
