It is said that it cannot be moved save by Lathander himself, or by means not clearly understood - One source suggests a “hand of the faithful,” though whether this refers to rank, devotion, or something else entirely remains unclear. Its resting place is mentioned only in connection with older ruins, possibly tied to [[Myth Drannor]], though the text breaks before any confirmation can be made - Repeated entries describe its touch as restorative... wounds closing, sickness purged, even death reversed in those devoted to the Morninglord; though the wording is troubling. It does not say “healed,” but rather “made whole,” as if something were being returned, not given... - There are scattered mentions of visions, or communion, though whether these are divine in nature or the result of prolonged exposure is uncertain... one margin note simply reads: *“too bright... lingers even with eyes shut”* - There are further claims that the Dawnstone disrupts wild magic and reveals enchantments as a white radiance... I suspect this may be less a function of suppression and more of dominance...The matter of its defensive properties is far less clear, and what remains is... concerning... - Several passages imply that those of ill intent are not merely repelled, but unmade... or perhaps remade? The wording shifts here, becoming inconsistent... “drained,” in one place, “bound,” in another. One fragment, badly damaged, reads only: *“they do not leave, only remain”* - There are also references to it calling down fire from the sky, described as “rosy light,” though whether this is symbolic or literal is unclear... No mention is made of limitation... which suggests either omission or intent... I cannot shake the sense that this is not a record of power... but a warning... and that whatever the Dawnstone truly is... it was never meant to be used... or perhaps, never meant to be found...
