The Judgment Stone (Rav'Nach)

(Rav'Nach, literally "Justice Rock", sometimes Loschek'Nach, "judgment rock")

Krodera is a metal long known for its power to resist magic. In large enough concentrations, it can even negate spells cast in its presence, disrupt magical rituals, and hinder spell users in many unknown ways.

In the center of the caverns that are the homelands of the dark dwarves is an obelisk of pure krodera. Somehow, the obelisk sits on the same spot as an earth node. The combination of the krodera and the gathering of the flows have created an area unique in all the lands. Even the mana inherent within living creatures can be destroyed and negated in this area. The Khanshael hold this area as sacred, and guard it with all their considerable might.

The dark dwarves call this obelisk the Judgment Stone or the Justice Rock.

Dark dwarves convicted of heinous crimes, such as treason, or the murder of another of the Kin, are sent to this chamber. They are bidden to touch the stone. Those who survive touching the obelisk are set free, although they are forever exiled from the dark dwarf homeland. Those who die are left to rot around the judgment rock, to leave their skeletons as a testament to Khanshael justice.
