Takes place on the 83rd of Lirar'a'mazi in the 372 year

The group travelled for more than half of the day following the vine until they saw another “Tree” in the distance. On their way this tree they were attacked by a dozen CedarKin. These numbers forced them to retreat towards a strange circle in the trees on ridge. Bleeding, exhausted and almost dead they struggled up the cliffs and collapsed out the circle hidden amongst the undergrowth. They remained hidden from the CedarKin scouts. Once Taval and Drovan revived they entered the circle and discovered a circle of standing stones. In the middle of the circle was a larger standing stone. They had discovered the Standing Stones of the Iron Face tribe of the Shawnal.

"The spirits of the Shawnal keep the CedarKin at bay, awoke Mahir’s tattoos and gave a Drovan a quest. This was the event that, far beyond mere scars earned from a never ending gauntlet of bloody battles, remains seared into our memories. It was the turning point in our adventures, one which promises to have lasting impact on our future experiences. This magic experience connected Drovan with the Shawnal ancestors; their spirits remain with him, inside his soul, to this day. They are sure to share tribal memories with him in the future. It also represents the metamorphosis of Mahir. The glowing light that emerged from his tattoos was a sight to see, and the powers that flowed through him and into his knife were both heroic and terrifying. Who knows what secret powers lie dormant in those spirals of ink he bears."
