The Tablet of Names is an old stone tablet containing various names.
History
At some point in history the tablet was carved and brought to what would one day be part of the Onu-Koro mines. Long afterwards, the tablet was found and accidentally smashed to pieces by a miner named Kirgan. Intrigued, Kirgan set off on a journey to find Stronin, whose name was featured in the tablet. Stronin expressed his displeasure of the discovery of the tablet and refused to help Kirgan, however.
Kirgan and his allies started planning on getting a Kanohi Rau in order to translate the text on the tablet.
Engraving
The tablet is covered in text written in an unknown language. The writing is irregular in shape, forming a picture of a Kanohi mask.
