Urn Stone

A circular mud tablet about 10-30 cm in diameter that was used by the Tern Tribes to write messages in Eathic and left at a OrKum.
  The tablet was crafted from fine clay mixed with water an allowed to partially dry. Then the message would be pressed into the semi dry surface. The tablet would then be left under a OrKum to dry fully and be read by anyone passing through. When the message was no longer relevant, the tablet could be dropped back into water and it would soften and turn back into wet clay.
