Lightning Stones

According to ancient Garundi legend, the Lightning Stones mark a battleground between earth and air elementals. In fact, this line of twenty-foot-tall menhirs only attracts these elementals, and when they encounter each other, old grudges ensure it does not end peaceably. The menhirs run through the southern reaches of the Katapesh section of the Barrier Wall mountains near the border with Nex. True to their name, the Lightning Stones attract lightning from the storms that are common to the area. The stones glow when struck by lightning, revealing runes and glyphs otherwise invisible to observers. This written language is unique but shares characteristics with the languages of ancient Katapesh and Nex, and the text appears to describe how to acquire and use power for the betterment of everyone.
