~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My fears turn to the past, as pieces of blackrock turn up.

I received another bit of news from the other castle in Britain. Nystul, the mage to Lord British, has been working on finding a way to open the enchanted chests in which the Followers of Armageddon were so interested. It was already known that each chest contained a large piece of blackrock. Nystul did not know what the purpose for the blackrock was, but wished to experiment on some if he could. He asks any citizen who manages to come into possession of a piece of blackrock to bring it to him at Lord British's castle. He warns that he may be deeply involved in his research and may not be easily reached, but that a call into the ether should grab his attention. Or at least the attention of those who generally watch for such calls. In exchange for the blackrock, Nystul has three items to offer as well as his own abilities which may allow him to modify the enchantments on existing magic items. He can, for example, recharge a wand. The three items he offers are an ancient mage's hat, an ancient robe, and an ancient staff. All three have magical qualities, but he did not go into the details of those. Thank you for helping him collect any blackrock you find.

When asked why the FOA had placed blackrock all over the land in chests, Nystul replied:
"It is my belief that the leader of the Followers of Armageddon, known so far only as "W," wished to help ensure the safety of his blackrock shards. By so distributing them, it would seem that his logic was that even if one or two were discovered or stolen, it would be unlikely to loose them all. And all he needed to do was have his henchmen go collect them when needed."
