I was also thinking that Galen might end up using the stones for blacksmithing purposes. There must be some significance to them. I suspect they have some sort of magical properties like the Philosopher's Stone.Krista Ash wrote: ↑06 Oct 2020, 15:39It will be interesting to see what Galen will do with these stones, and what Demetrius will tell him about them. Perhaps Galen will end up forging a weapon out of the stones. I also wonder if the stones are the real reason why Demetrius is sticking around, or if Demetrius will become one of Galen's close friends.

Those are some very good points. If I remember correctly, Siden could teleport (or something similar) when Meldorath broke out of his prison, so he could have gone to the mainland, delivered the message, and prepared the rocks without the guards knowing he was gone.Sou Hi wrote: ↑11 Oct 2020, 09:40Yes, you're right about the stones' origin, and I think that mage was Siden. It's all Meldorath's doings for his bigger plan. By the end of the book, Meldorath asked Beth, and she confirmed the rocks had some connection with Caromentis, meaning they held some special power for his needs. As for the attack, that's not a coincidence. Meldorath knew the Riva was coming. Most likely, the far watcher's message delivered to the Riva was from Meldorath. And right before the attack of the Riva, Meldorath said to Eldus 'I have to kill you'. This means Meldorath fashioned the onslaught from afar, borrowing the Riva's hands to indirectly conquer Hilport.Krista Ash wrote: ↑08 Oct 2020, 16:05The stones are the same as Galen's stone. The mage Galen and Rowan met at the mining camp was the one who brought the delivery to Hillport. It is an interesting coincidence (at the very least) that Meldorath and the Riva attacked soon after the delivery was made. Perhaps Meldorath was waiting for the shipment?

I don't think the mage was one of Meldorath's men. If he was, the mage would have known that Meldorath was no longer Lord of Hillport, so he would have hidden it, rather than bringing it to the castle. But perhaps the stones were involved in the conquering of Hillport, although I doubt this since Meldorath doesn't seem to know what they are.jerrypru wrote: ↑21 Oct 2020, 04:26 I do think that the stones are significant. The fact that Lord Eldus had not ordered them is suspicious as well as the mage Galen and Rowan met who seemed to have been looking for the exact stones that Galen and Rowan found. This does make me think that perhaps the mage is one of Meldorath's men.

Yes, I think Meldorath must have ordered them while he was still Lord of Hillport. I don't think distracting Eldus was a motivation.Krista Ash wrote: ↑06 Oct 2020, 11:30Meldorath probably ordered them while he was Lord of Hillport before he knew that Eldus would soon take his place. I don't think they were a distraction to Eldus, although perhaps they have properties that allowed Meldorath to "haunt" Eldus.Reader 05 wrote: ↑06 Oct 2020, 00:42I agree, I also think that Meldorath ordered the delivery, perhaps it was part of his plan to distract Lord Eldus, or maybe it was for some other use.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 15:53 Lord Eldus was surprised to receive a delivery of stones before the attack on Hillport. What are your thoughts about those stones? Will they be significant? I presume those stones are the same as the stone that Galen and Rowan bought. I have a feeling it was Meldorath who ordered the delivery.
I think Meldorath needed them for his personal future plans.
