Stone of Chronicles

History
A large stone discovered by the Kokudo Clan Ancestor, the Stone of Chronicles is a massive gem of unknown origins. It was found deep underground by the Kokudo after their slave days in a mine. Having been mining for fuels for their homes (this is far before the discovery of electricity), the Kokudo Clan Ancestor and a few of his relatives came upon the gargantuan gem. Its bright colors and dazzling displays of what was seen as magic amazed the rather primitive group of freshly freed slaves. They swore themselves and each other to secrecy and blocked the mine to prevent access by the general public.

Later, each of those who had encountered the stone began exhibiting strange abilities. They began levitating objects and pull and pushing things without making any physical contact and even gaining knowledge and memories of those long since dead were clear in b their minds as if they had experienced them firsthand. These phenomena were soon picked up on by the rest of the clan and were questioned until they finally rediscovered the mine and subsequently, the gem. The gem was brought up from its confines and placed on the surface.

A shrine was created by order of the Kokudo Clan Ancestor to praise the gem's mystical abilities. After the Kokudo Clan Ancestor's and his disciples' passing, the shrine was sealed. To the present day, the shrine remains in near perfect condition although its contents have long since been forgotten due all written records being destroyed by the clan elders to prevent the widespread knowledge of the Stone of Chronicles.

Nearly two centuries later, the shrine was reopened by Shinichi Kokudo. He discovered the Stone of Chronicles once again and gained mysterious abilities. His family was shocked to see him display his new powers and realize that Shinichi was the descendant of the Kokudo Clan Ancestor.
