Walkthrough

The runes written on the tablet appear to be of an ancient language you do not understand. You notice in the center of the tablet, there is a chunk missing that appears to have been chiseled out.

Perhaps this is what is causing the magic to release from the stone monument. Restoring the missing piece may contain the magic again and stop the attacks of the swamp creatures. There is much magic stored within the tablet, inexperienced tampering could very well kill the bearer.

The ground is riddled with large footprints leading to the north. It's possible the thief headed that direction.

Head North to find the charred Hobgoblin corpses. Search the corpses for the missing shard.

In it's right hand, what's left of it, you find an unscathed metallic shard that has embedded itself deep into the palm.

A Runed Shard added to your inventory.

Return the shard to the Tablet of Hirak Sun.

You are about to return the missing shard to the tablet. As you hold the shard in your hand, it begins to vibrate and emit a low hum. Whispers from many engulf your mind. You cannot understand what they are saying, but you get a sudden feeling they are trying to tell you that you are not welcome here in the Xao Marshlands.

A Runed Shard was removed from your inventory.

Return the shard to the Tablet of Hirak Sun.

Aya Nimblecat says, "I am sorry to have suddenly pulled you from your position, [Player]. When you sealed the magic of the Hirak Sun monument, it was absorbing your life force and any second longer would have sent you beyond this realm.

"Veteran Sixfish asked me to watch you in case of a situation like this. You should report back to him. I'm sure he is expecting you.
