History
The most prevalent instance of this item appearing around Fel was first unearthed by a Sigan man, Simon Descartes. His unearthing the orb while working as a slave in Vera Older's mines brought him only destruction as he attempted to flee from the prison using the orb's power without knowledge of the symbols etched on its surface. It was recovered by guards of the silver mine, and transported to the Archmagi Tower nearby, where it would ultimately be purchased for a fraction of its worth in a quickly moving market. The buyer would travel to the island nation of Traquet in anticipation of an event fortold by a clairvoyant master who predicted the presence of a young saint in trouble. The orb was given to this Ithite, Tai Cho, who would carry it with him unable to utilize the magic within (since all Dwar crafted runes have only one use each). Six months later, the sphere's use would become apparent, when it interacts with a strange plane of existence, allowing quick travel to and from a hub world of some interest to Tai Cho.
