Talking stones
Found mostly in the great rocky fields, those strange stones are inhabited by a spirit. Their appearance is that of any regular stone, but it may or may not start talking to you once you approach it. Talking stones are generally clever and polite, and its quite possible to have a meaningful conversation with one, the elemental being delighted at having someone to talk to. Many of them are old as time itself, having been through several eras of Felarya. Some of them are even named, such as "Old Boussa" in the desert, revered by Akaptor nomads who regularly come and tell him about the world and seek his ancient wisdom. Talking stones can also, more simply, be used to deliver a message to someone at a later time, the stone dutifully carrying its task out. They will attract lightning at times, in order to feed off of the energy, although they won't do so in the course of a conversation as it would be inappropriate. Contrary to what they look like, talking stones are actually able to move by using magic to roll about, but they do it extremely rarely.
