Amberscale Rock and several of the amber statues which at one point were the hallmark of Gelmorran architecture were known to remove powerful magical enchantments, including and most pertinently, golem soulstones. Which begs the interesting question, why did the Gelmorrans surround their city entrances and dot the forest with these amber statues? Was it to protect against golems which still lay about from the previous era? Perhaps more importantly, why do the elementals want the statues removed so badly? The amber doesn't seem to affect the elementals, because there are elementals living in Amberscale Rock. Who knows. Answers only lead to more questions.
Are you referring to the leve in Quarrymill where the Hearer tells you to break down all the stone structures that are Gelmorran?
Yes, this one:
Elemental Housekeeping Wrote:Of overgrown traces of Gelmorra, few remain to disturb the order of the forest, yet occasional ruins are still found that must needs be removed. What is under the forest may stay, but our laws decree that no stone of Gelmorra mar the home of the elementals.
I am fully aware the levequest is issued by Charline, from all accounts an incredibly biased and bigoted source who seems to have it out for all Duskwight. She's not generally well liked around camp and many people consider her interpretations of the elementals to be suspect at best. That said, the levequest says "our laws" meaning that this practice has precedent beyond one potentially corrupt hearer. Is it elemental will or Gridanian bias? I don't think any can say, but past experience reminds me that those who try to destroy or take from the Wood without elemental permission usually do not survive.
