Place of Permanence

The Place of Permanence is known to the local earth spirits as the death. It is where things go to die forever. Created by Charles, a contract demon trapped in the Rakarian Valley, to hold Korlin, an elf with a single wish remaining, thus ensuring his continued existence in this valley.

When Korlin had realized the mistake he made he tried to use the remaining wish of Tazeed, a powerful Jinn, to kill himself. If done correctly Charles, a contract demon, would be returned to the prison at Tminir Tower. Charles had planned for this eventually and used his influence among the Marlot to create a place beneath the earth bound by so many stone spirits that time would nearly stop.

Charles stuck Korlin into this amber so that the words needed to kill himself would take decades for even the first syllable. It would be several millennia before Korlin could speak the full words and banish Charles back to his cage. During that that Charles would have free reign to manipulate the people of the land and secure his permanent freedom.

Dakarian Insurrection

In the Revolution arc of the Dakarian Insurrection campaign Brizanthimus, Belenus, Xarth, Nigel, and Gia Sojourner found the Place of Permanence and freed Korlin. With Korlin's wish and a Holy Blade of Vayne they were able to destroy Charles.
