History

The Xinchei-Konu is overseen by its Keeper, the Jekka-Wass, who also performs the "vastei-sei ",which is known in Jel as the "Ritual of Change". It is a ritual that changes the weather of the region and it requires three components, brackish mud found between the swamp and the sea, a sample ofdeathly bloom,and a sample of wood from theTree that Crumbles Stone.These components will be offered to the force of change and activate the monument for the weather change. The Jekka-Wass will then state the ritual chant, which first goes, "Vakka reelsh vastei buseek xal!" and when the components are placed, they then say "Delaw ruheeva wuxa vastei bok tar-sakka!"

In2E 582,an unknown thief stole each of the twelve tablets that represented the months and left a book of riddles for the monument keepers to find them. They were scattered all over Murkmire, in every nook and cranny across the region. Anadventurertraveled to the monument and promised Jekka-WassVozeito return the tablets. They found their first tablet, the Vakka tablet in the midst of amiregauntin the vicinity ofBlackrose Prison.With their first catch, the adventurer explored the entire region until they found the eleven other pieces and re-assembled the Xinchei-Konu.Before it could be restored to glory, the Jekka-Wass had to perform the "Ritual of Change". He sent the adventurer to locate his predecessor, thenisswo,Paraxeehin nearbyBright-Throat Village.With every condition set, the Ritual of Change had commenced and the nisswo revealed that he was the one who stole the tablets.
