* | *The [[Vernal God]]desses known as the [[Sisters of the Hearth]], [[Il'garala]] and [[Il'vania]], used magical anchors called ''hearthstones'' to accomplish powerful effects. | ||
<blockquote> | |||
"They have developed methods to anchor power to landmarks in the land, which have proved to be some of the most powerful magicks we have ever seen. [...] we call these anchors hearthstones, though they can look like almost anything. As for Il'vania and Il'garala, we call them the Sisters of the Hearth," | |||

==Conjectures== | |||
*Yawning Eredir is another location in the Wasteland beyond the Basin that the Horizon Walkers have scouted and may make trips to in the future. | |||
*Its connection to the Vernal Wars suggests it may, like Grimkeep, have been home to an Edifice of Power. | |||
*The naming prefix "Il'" seen with the Sisters of the Hearth and the Il'eredir tribe suggests a connection, as does the fact the tribe had "practitioners of hearthcraft" and the Sisters' use of hearthstones. | |||
**Thus Yawning Eredir may have been the goddesses original home or a place they helped build. | |||
