Campaign: Tablets of the Old Ones

This wooden tablet is inscribed with six rows of ancient runes in an unkown language.

The ancient runes on "Tablet of Oblok", once translated, can be read as follows:

Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of Lords and King of Kings,
With thy living lightning of judgement
Purge this land of our enemies
Solace all its wide dominion
With the blood of their fallen warriors

The "Tablet of Oblok" is known to sometimes magically transport itself short distances so as to find itself in the possession of those it deems worthy.
Those that are deemed worthy may find themselves drawn to the tablets location.
Attuning to the artifact takes an hour and during this time, those deemed worthy enter a trance as they commune with "Oblok" directly and agree to be their avatar.
Once attuned, the bearer of the tablet is able to sense the direction to other "Tablets of the Old Ones".

Once attuned, the bearer of the "Tablet of Oblok" gains the following abilities:
