Although this tablet is covered with a thick layer of dust, you can tell
that it is much newer than anything else in the area.  It is not made from a
very sturdy material, you can still make out the inscription, which is
written in an ancient but decipherable dialect.  You should be able to
translate the inscription by reading over it more carefully.

Long description: A large tablet made from pink clay has been left here.
This item can be found in Domain of Arbaces.
Ethne read inscription
Here begins the tale of the first great Hero, and those who would journey
along with him. I have waited for his coming longer than any mortal being
can imagine, but when these writings are complete my service shall be ended.
The eight sacred tablets provided unto me by the Powers shall finally be
put to use, and will serve as a chronicle of the Hero's quest. The prophecy
states that many others will follow after him, and some may even find the
same success on their journeys. I know not if this tale will survive to aid
them, but I hope that at least some good will come of my work.

As the minions of the mad Overlord Bloodbane dug deeper and deeper into
the ground on Wizardry Isle in search of treasures, they finally came upon
an ancient gateway deep within the bowels of the earth. Many attempts were
made to penetrate through its defenses, but none were successful.
A short time later, the Hero heard news of the discovery and decided to
visit the area himself. He gathered four of his bravest and most loyal
followers: a cavalier, a priest, a wizard, and a bard. The mighty band set
off, and eventually made their way down to the gateway.
Although virtually every concievable method of opening the barrier had
already failed, as the Hero approached it swung upon of its own accord. The
bystanders watched with amazement as the party of adventurers passed through
the massive crystal doors, disappearing into the darkness of the tunnel
beyond.
