Elephant Graveyard

Tusk in a Cave.png

When we came up on the Elephant Graveyard, we saw a mesa full of elephant bones and tusks scattered about the area. There are remains of other creatures, but it's primarily large tusked creatures.

Kemurial's Divine Sense pulled him in a direction which revealed a spirit of a wooly mammoth. The spirit mentioned the "Shattering of the Great Tusk". When asked about it, the spirit led us to a hillside cave, inside which rested a broken tusk on a sort of dais. This tusk is that of the mammoth god known as "The First". They don't know what caused it to shatter.

We took a moment to inspect it and thought that putting the two halves back together might cause something to happen, and it did. As we held the pieces together, ghostly images of their ancestors appear on and around the cave walls. As we let the pieces fall again, the images disappear.

With the help of Freya's Scroll of Mold Earth, we are able to craft the dirt in the cave to permanently prop up the two halves of the tusk. The spirits reappear. The mammoth spirit enters the cave, thanking us. A smaller version of the tusk appears and this spirit, named Melephant, insists on us having it.

Kemurial takes the tusk. It's a one-time-use item that will summon a charge of spiritual mammoths, causing force damage due to trampling.

We intend to return later to permanently mend the two halves of the tusk, when time allows.
