The chronicle record
The Puzzle Box is a metal chest-like contraption that combines mechanical and magical elements. It was displayed by Ardax at Torrentmoot as a challenge designed to encourage cooperation, featuring coded clues around its casing.
When a participant opened a section, a glowing pattern appeared before the box shocked the individual and snapped shut. Gurnak determined that at least three people needed to manipulate it simultaneously, with an electrical effect or a precisely placed strike able to replace one task. Vaska deciphered its clues, Gurnak charged it with electricity, Vaska Klashe struck the correct point, and Fizzik completed the opening. Inside were a dragon turtle scale and a flawless Blank Parchment scroll with geometric borders. Ardax praised their cooperation and mentioned that the parchment's significance would be revealed in time.
