Selu'kiira

A selu'kiira (or high lore gem) was an intelligent gemstone that stored knowledge and could teach this knowledge to a viewer. It could also harm the viewer if it choose not to part with its knowledge. A selu'kiira was a much more complicated form of a tel'kiira.

The amount of knowledge that the selu'kiira could convey in an instant could be vast&mdash;sometimes what would otherwise take decades of study.

Notable selu'kiira

 * The Nightstar
 * The selu'kiira of House Melarn, in possession of Q'arlynd Melarn.

History
A few years before 1379 DR, the drow wizard Q'arlynd Melarn recovered a selu'kiira of his ancestors' house from the Kraanfhaor's Door in the Miyeritari Ruins. Due to his pure Miyeritari origins, Q'arlynd was able to wear the seku'kiira without repercussions. The gem was possessed by Q'arlynd Melarn as the last living member of House Melarn.
