In the Land of Sixty Dancing Volcanoes is a particularly treacherous location known as the Magma Temple, it consists of a large, hollow volcano, with a moat of ever flowing lava. In spite of volcanic cloud cover, the sky above the Magma Temple is clear all year round (providing an excellent navigational aid.) The temple, however, is fairly unremarkable when one considers the artefact that rests in the massive hollow chamber at the centre of the volcano. Suspended above a pit of lava, surrounded by glowing rings, is a stone sphere that is so bright as to be difficult to look at directly. This is the Sunstone.

It hovers lazily in the air, idly drawing trails of lava up from the pools beneath it that arc through the air around it, circling it before descending once more. Though it seems almost native to it's fiery environment, it was not always located here. Millennia ago (as far back as the earliest years of the Advancing Time of Colonisation, perhaps even further) in the Sun Comos on Orath was a civilisation known as the Yumecs. They worshipped the sun, and it seems their many gods and goddesses of the sun had given them a piece of the sun itself, which rested high in their Sunspire temple. No one knows how or why, but the Sunspire was one day shattered and the Sunstone stolen from the Yumecs. All that is known is that without their idol, the Yumecs civilisation vanished without a trace. How the Sunstone came to rest in that particular volcano is anyone's guess. More mysteriously, perhaps, is why no one has since tried to claim it.
