Yes, it is called the Cronostar. Created by the deep elves many centuries ago, but not as $Melathor suggests, an aide to gather delicacies for the dinner table.|| The Cronostar does have the ability to pause $time. More importantly however, it is a $key.

Karzul is a power-hungry minor demon lord of the Abyss. During my $imprisonment in the $Abyss I learned much of this fiend.||For many centuries Karzul was just another demon lord, happy to amuse himself by participating in the endless turf-wars with other demons. These minor confrontations are sort of a day-to-day exercise; a manifestation of the chaos of the evil realm they call their home. Wanton violence, sensless brutality and general ruthlesness are considered virtues there.||However, about two decades while on a reconissance mission against one of his foes, Karzul discovered a dying Effrinu. These creatures were thought to be completely extinct, as they were the living aspects of an Elder God. No longer worshipped, Elder gods were the evil incarnate in divine forms. In fact, their realm was of such violence that even Abyss rejected their rule.||Nevertheless as Karzul slowly nursed the dying Effrinu back to health, in return he gained some of the wisdom of Erhedru the Elder. With this divine evil power in his arsenal, he was able to produce enough magical energy to create the Necropod, the prison-seed in which he $entrapped me.||I believe his plan has always been to somehow enter the Material Realm and - once again using the gifts of Erhedru the Elder - enthrall humankind to fuel his need for souls, thereby making him into some kind of uber-demon.||If you want to avoid spending an eternity slaving to his every wish while being tormented by his minions, I'd say: look for help! You cannot defeat him alone. Although he will be relatively weak for a while in the Material plane, once here, he will quickly establish a way to supply himself with diabolic energy. You must defeat him before that occurs with help from the $Guardians of the Realm. Only they have the experience needed to better this foe.

Ah the crazed druid... Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate what she was trying to do! You humans take nature for granted all to often. It would do you well to be afraid of those you oppress once in a while...||It is a pity though that she herself was also the victim of a larger plot. The demon $Karzul used her for his nefarious purposes by giving her the Necropod: the seed of my $imprisonment.||Whatever happened to her anyway? Not that it matters, she wouldn't have gone far anyhow. We must now turn our attentions to stopping $Karzul instead.

Yes, the $Cronostar is the key to re-awaken the Guardians.|| As you probably know, the Guardians of the Realm were the a scholar-knight order who dedicated themselves to the preservation of all worldly knowledge. They created a series of libraries throught the land wherein they enshirened a vast number of codecies that described all that transpired and were known to humankind. Even more, these sacred texts contained predictions for the future. Many half-described profecies since have come to pass. Many others still await their fulfillment.||The Guardians also defended this enlightened way of life from those that would oppose it. Historically this meant battling the fiendish inhabitants of the $Abyss. The confrontations with that realm intensified over the centuries, when at last the head of the Guardians foresaw the defeat and destruction of his order.||Few there are now who remember what happened next. To popular knowledge the knights passed from the material realm, following their last disasterous battle at the fords of the river Manar. And while it is true, that this final battle between the Guardians the hordes of demons was a singular event that changed history forever, the Guardians were not defeated. Knowing that the day would not be theirs, the knights instead willingly entered hibernation in the tombs of a nearby monastery of Minirmuir. Thus entombed they were resolved to wait and lie asleep for eons, until such time as they foresaw, when new heroes entered the land, capable to once again vanquish the forces of evil and throw off the tyranny of darkness.||What an immense gamble this was! For as you surely comprehend, were they wrong, and these heroes never arrived, or came too late, the material realm would surely have fallen to shadow forever.||I sense that time is now. The finding of the Cronostar signals to me that the world has reached a moment of crisis. A darkness ascends from below, and the fate of the realms is balanced on a cruel edge. ||In fact, have I told you of my $imprisonment in the $Abyss? I believe it to also be such a sign. Never, in my extraplanar travels has any being managed to ensnare me against my will.

As you probably guessed, I am a descendent of Arcanex, the original plane dweller, spawned from the waters of the thought of Amod-Rheinur. ||We are the tendrils that connect the $planes. It is seldom that mortals see, much less converse with one of my kind. I hope you understand that... It is by choice I decide to notice you, and the choice moves my mind with purpose to speak.|| Over the centuries I traveled far. I've seen the frozen ice planes of Varmal, the timeless wastes of Kal, even the despairing souls doomed to exist in the $Abyss.

We don't so much travel through time, as time flows past us. Us tree-beings, children of the mighty $Arcanex don't view the passage of time as you mortals do.||What passes for a century for humanity has no more weight to us than the sigh of the wind in my branches. I must take special care - for example when talking to you - to demarkate my thoughts within consequetive temporal sections. Otherwise, all that I have to say would appear to sound randomly jumbled together to your ears.||This is why the fact that you managed to find the $Cronostar is of such interest to me. That device is capabale of rising above the constrains of time, like me.
