 According to Lady Dorothea Duntum, the illuminating stone is an ancient relic with a relationship to [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]], originally found in the [[underwater_caverns|Underwater Caverns]] beneath the [[forgotten_forest|Forgotten Forest]].
->//I have collected every book that I can find that mentions the illuminating stone. It is claimed that the stone is older than recorded history.

 Lady Dorothea Duntum notes the significance of the map in her [[diary|diary]];
