Author's Note

The exact material the inscriptions are placed upon is possibly an even bigger mystery than the inscriptions' contents themselves. Initially believed to be simple stone or perhaps metal, no tests have managed to determine the exact composition, and no attempts have so much as succeeded in obtaining samples. Of course, given the importance of the inscriptions and their one of a kind nature, the strength employed has remained contained as to not damage the contents. This still leaves the true nature of the material unclear, though it is unlike anything known to ponykind.
