ON THE FOUR ETCHINGS

My explorations of the Foundation have resulted in yet another mystery: a fascinating series of etchings on large stone tablets.

The tablets themselves are likely not native to the Foundation, seeing as they're slabs of sedimentary stone, quite different from the cave's categorization-defying rock. Their placement and form are also too intentional to be naturally occurring. But who braved this place to carry them in? And for what purpose? I discovered a five-point macro-entanglement between the tablets, with the pillar at its center. These links seem to extend beyond our level of consciousness, to some astral realm I can't detect. ls Northmoor's Board somehow tied to all this?

The etchings on these tablets are similarly curious. They differ from the cave paintings in style and technique, so are clearly not of the same origin. Are they the visual narration of some event? Or do they indicate intent, a wish, a plan? They only seem to consist of a tree and the pillar, but the sizes of either are inconsistent. What does that signify?

I’m missing key pieces of this puzzle and it’s unlikely I'll ever find them.
