Geocache Description:

This cache is in a residential neighborhood. Please limit your visits to daylight hours.

Paranor is the fortress that has been used by the Druids since they first created the Druid Council. You will need 3 pieces of knowledge to access the secrets of Paranor. 2 of those will be found in the following text, the final is at the above coordinates.


Elfstones are powerful magical artifacts, usually found in groups of 3, to symbolize the user's body, mind, and spirit. There were many of them during the time of Faerie. Most of the Elfstones were lost after the Faerie creatures were gone. Each color of Elfstone had a property that made it unique. The user must be an Elf for Elfstones to work, and use by someone who is part-Elf can have mixed results, as shown when Wil Ohmsford, who was only part Elvish, used the three Blue Elfstones, resulting in his descendants inheriting part of the Elfstones' magic in the form of the wishsong.

The Black Elfstone is a large black gem, combining all the elements of 3 normal Elfstones into one talisman. The Black Elfstone is a powerful magic that nothing can stand against, for it has the power to negate other magics. However, there is a price to be paid, as the magics negated are transferred to the holder of the Stone. During the quest to destroy the Illdatch, Allanon removes Paranor from the Lands in order to protect it from evil forces. Nobody sees Paranor again for 500 years until Walker Boh uses the Black Elfstone to bring it back.
