Notes
TypeText
Known ErrorsThe clues in the Ogham script to find where to dig for Calum's Hammer are corrupted, so they don't reveal the proper location. The garbled translation comes out as "CROLLROADTEBB", whereas what it was supposed to have said was "CROSSROADTENN", which gives the position of Calum's Hammer relative to the cross in Stormbase ("[from the] crossroad ten [paces] north").
