The stone tablet is an item found by searching the skeleton laying by the southern pillar just west of the lift platform within the Ruins of Tapoyauik.

The tablet is notably inscripted in the common tongue by an individual named Maria, stating the Nela Tasol (Nela is an unknown word, while Tasol means Structure/Building in the Old Ones' language) has fallen, and that the Kuhu (also an unknown word, but likely referring to the Old Ones themselves) believe if her work failed, their entire legacy is lost. The stone tablet found in Mokhaiotl reveals that the work she was referring to was the creation of an archive to store the knowledge of the Old Ones.

Based on the available context, this tablet was likely inscribed sometime before the destruction of Mokhaiotl.

Transcript

Barat,

I'm afraid I will not be able to visit you as originally hoped. Another Nela Tasol has fallen. Apart from us here, Tapoyauik is now all that remains. The Kuhu are firm in their belief. If our work here fails, the entire legacy of their people may be lost. I'm sorry to let you down, but they are running out of time. We are the only ones who can help them now. I hope to see you soon, once the work is done.
