A series of carvings are left at the shrines to nature gods across the Sword Coast. In particular, notes are left at the following shrines:
The Shrine of Silvanus, along the Trade Way.
The Shrine of Kossuth, near Gullykin.
The Shrine of Auril, nesstled in the Cloud Peaks.
The Shrine of Eldath, in the Reaching Woods.
The Shrine of Chauntea, on the border of the Farmlands.
The Shrine of Meilikki, along the Trade Way.
These notes are written in druidic runes and are carved on stones. These stones are left at the base of each shrine, along with an offering of a greenstone at each shrine with two exceptions. At the shrine of Kossuth, there is a ruby. At the shrine of Auril, there is a diamond.
Each rune carved in druidic contains the following message:
Fellow disciples of the wild balance,
A new flower blooms in the coast. He flies, seeking the others who fly the path of true balance. Seek him out, seek him out.
He will nest at the Ancient Druid Circle on the Trade Way, near the Keep of Candles, every evening until another comes to roost with him. You shall know him as the Thunderbird.
He will fly to this shrine, to search for meaning and messages from his fellows during the day. Share with him how to find the way to your splendor and warmth, fellow disciples of the balance.
He shares the path of balance and desires his kindred spirits in this strange land. Find the Thunderbird, for he seeks to find you.
-The Thunderbird
At the end of the message, each rune has the likeness of a crow carved into it. The crow flies, clutching a bolt of lightning in its grasp.
