Stone tablets are items obtained during The Garden of Death, where players find them throughout the dungeons built by the Old Ones, an ancient race who inhabited modern-day Varlamore.

The tablets can be read, and are automatically translated as players find new translations during and after the quest via the word translations scroll. When read, translated words in blue indicate that the word is incorrect in context, whilst words in green indicate the word is correct in context.

The only untranslatable phrase is "Zema-Tal" in the last tablet found. Though players infer "Tal" to mean life or soul, "Zema" is not translatable during the quest, but is instead revealed during The Heart of Darkness to mean together, people, and one. With the context of both words and the discovery of the Stranglewood during Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire, one possible meaning of Zema-Tal may be what the Old Ones called themselves (ex. Zema-Tal tepat -> We [the Old Ones are] destroyed).
