- One purple gem found among a hoard located in the Mountain Sewer. Its unique magic causes you to not be able to pick up more than one at a time. You can perceive very faint Empyrean letters on the inside of the gem - in order to read them, you would need to get the writing translated by someone skilled in Empyrean writings. You can feel the gem pulsing, but it seems to slow the longer you hold the gem.
Notes
- Does not stack.
- Large number found in on the floor of a specific room in the Mountain Sewer dungeon near Tou-Tou. The room is behind a locked door (Resistance 122) and is in the NE side of the dungeon next to a room with three chests.
- Pickup timer: 13 days
- Hand to Bretself the Translator for the Letter to Bretself the Translator if you're a character sub level 80.

Bretself the Translator tells you, "I am surprised I have been seeing these in circulation. Can you keep a secret? At one point a few years ago, I was honored to receive a letter from Asheron himself, through Scholar Antius Blackmoor. I was flattered to have received it, but what he asked me was unusual. He wished that I would watch out for anyone bearing these gems. If the person seemed powerful enough that they might know how to use them, I am to plead ignorance. I do not think you are, however. Therefore, I shall tell you - they are from a hidden cache that Asheron stored in the mountains, for use in portal creation. I am not certain precisely where he intended to open a portal to, but the gems were to be a power source. The inscription reads, simply, "Property of Asheron Realaidain," nothing more. I shall share with you the letter I received. Perhaps it will tell you more about the gem and its uses. I'll also give you this trade note as payment for the gem - I am supposed to retain them, but I can at least offer you fair market value for them."
