Gem of Lost memories
Scholar Ashton
I have heard more than one person speaking of the things they've recently seen on one of the harpy islands not far from here. They say that at night their nightmares come to life and wander the island!

Many seek lost memories in their dreams, but these dreams have gone wrong it seems.
An island in the ocean is the place you seek; but by day the place is not for the weak.
At night the terrors across the island creep, to disturb any who might sleep.
One becomes two, then two become four. To kill them all is your chore.
End the terrors that haunt the island's shores and the Gem of Lost Memories will soon be yours.
Completed Scroll reads:
The loss of a child affects parents much differently than it affects the child's friends. Such is the case when it comes to the Gem of Lost Memories. A grieved Atlantean father by the name of Alegren was mourning the loss of his daughter when he conceived the idea for the gem. He used some of the most powerful dream magiks ever seen and infused a simple gem. The premise was that the gem would cause the user to dream of some of the happiest moments in their life. Alegren would sleep with the gem under his pillow at night and dream of his daughter.
Eventually, news of his creation spread, and he was inundated with requests from people for gems of their own. Alegren honored every request, and as he created more and more of the gems, he refined the process.
These new gems didn't have the detrimental side effects that the original did and had a few benefits the original didn't. The new gems were carried as good luck objects, and they were given to little children to ward their sleep from bad dreams.
Unfortunately, Alegren's gem did not posess the new beneficial properties. Slowly, Alegren's dreams became more intense, more life-like. Eventually Alegren was driven mad, trapped in a constant waking dream that he could not escape. Many looked on Alegren with pity and shuned the use of the gems for fear that what had befallen him would befall them as well. Many of the gems were discarded. What has become of them is not known.
