Celestial Bronze Puzzle Box

Puzzle Box

This box was found inside the Labyrinth, inside a room with intricate celestial bronze designs, often of maze motifs (Sx35 - ???). It sat upon a pedestal in this room with no exits. Khantos started investigating the box and after 10 mins became attuned to the magical item. Once he had attuned to it he start making sense of the many intricate symbols on the cube, realising it came to a riddle, and contained a recepticle, presumably that receives the answer. "All of history, I have been told I recall wars, love, and scriptures old, Sometimes I am lost, sometimes only faded", after much deduction they find the answer to be ink. The cube then changed shape into a foot wide bronze disc with a fort inscription etched into the surface. This also resulted in the door to the room appearing and opening.
