Old man at the inn

You were at the inn one night when you over hear a conversation between an old man new to Haven, who has had too much to drink, and a few others. He tells a tale of his life work to find the treasure of DariSumii It is said long ago in the age before myth 16 great wizards built a place to harness power. The greatest of these wizards named D’arn in his wisdom divided the wizards into 3 groups of 5 giving them each part of the key to access the vault so that no 1 wizard would possess all of the knowledge. They called this place cha’Dar which I have never found, but it is said that where the sky meets the ground is where it will be. The man winks and then says obviously a riddle and then pauses HA! But what does it mean? He then laughs loud before raising his glass in a toast “Here is to great power!” Darren, a well known farmer, must have walked up while the man is talking. He leans on a staff, since his leg was hurt in the war. A scar marks his left cheek. Bursting out in laughter Darren shouts “So this is all you know for your life’s work!”
The old man answers “Well lad it isn’t like I have not had the side adventure here and there. I have grown very wealthy in my years finding all kinds of relics unearthed since the cataclysm”
Darren huffs “prove it”
The old man looks left and right before pulling out a small gem.
Before anyone can speak Darren says “well hardly a king’s ransom” and then bellows out another laugh.
The old man pays him little mind but simply taps the gem which causes it to glow. “This is no mere gem” He mumbles a word and the gem shoots a beam of light toward Darren. Everyone jumps back in surprise, while a couple draw swords, but Darren does not move. Before anyone can take a step you can see the scar on Darren face fade, the light from the gem goes out and the old man deftly puts the gem back in his pouch. Darren snaps out of what ever trance he was in and starts to stumble before catching himself and straitening. “My leg….its healed” The old man winks “well what did you expect” HA! It is said this gem came from cha’Dar imagine what else is there!”
Now I do know a thing or two other secrets but those I keep to myself
