Enchanted Stone

Westward from the Great Stone Circle lies a spot in the Enchanted Wood where the fungus is unnaturally thick and the trees are thinner and stand either dead or dying. At this spot there rests in the forest floor the Enchanted Stone, a great stone slab with a three-foot-wide iron ring set in its middle. The slab is covered with two sets of runic inscriptions, now mostly obscured by the moss covering the slab. These runes are in a very ancient tongue, now all but forgotten in the Dreamlands; one set was designed to keep something beneath the slab, and the second set has the power to cancel the power of the first. No man now living knows what lies beneath this slab, and even the zoogs fear to go near it. In fact, this slab covers the top of a great staircase which spirals down through the Tower of Koth into the kingdom of the gugs in the vast Underworld.
