15: Heart of the Stone

15: Heart of the Stone is the fifteenth mission of Myth: The Fallen Lords.

Journal Entry
Date Unknown*, Inside The Tain

I do not understand what has happened. Falling back before two myrmidons in Forest Heart, I was enveloped by a greenish haze which tore me from the earth. Now I find myself here, in a vast underground cavern with many of my comrades. We have been unable to find any way to the surface. Murgen believes us to be trapped inside the Tain, a relic forged by the Smiths of Muirthemne during the Wind Age. Soon after its construction, the Tain was taken from Muirthemne by raiding barbarians from the south, and believed to be lost forever.

But they say that the darkest artifacts have the ability to bend men to their will. Calling soundlessly to the wicked and discontent from thousands of miles away or hundreds of feet beneath the earth or sea, and that in this way they always come to light again, no matter how buried or forgotten.

So it was that Soulblighter rediscovered the Tain.

The artifact was used only once before it disappeared, by Connacht, against the terrible race of the Myrkridia. Until now, Murgen said, no man except its creators knew where its victims were taken. I'll try to feel privileged while I starve to death.

I have nothing more to write.

* The possible date for this mission is Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE.
