Around the time of Cherek Bearshoulders, the Emperor of Melcena heard of the holy artifact in its grotto, and sent his army to seize it and it was brought back to Melcena. It waz given to the university, but as the departments couldnt decide where it belonged, it ended up in that museum. It was then stolen at the time of the battle of Vo Mimbre, and ended up in the place that is no more.
