The Soul Stone (Korean: 영혼석, lit. Soul Stone) is a crystal with massive quantities of Holy Power that only the Kounat Royal Family who bears the "Geas" imposed upon them by the gods can utilize.

Background[]

The Soul Stone was created by the Prime Minister of Kounat, Baldinar, which contained the ultimate essence of the Divine that still lay within the Aernas Hammer. Following the tome's instructions, he amplified the crystal through the Aernas Hammer to obtain the power of the Creator. However, because Baldinar was not of the Kounat Royal Family, the Aernas Hammer did not recognize him as the owner of the Holy Power and the Soul Stone grew unstable. By the time Baldinar realized it, the weapon was beyond anyone's control and resulted in the Great Explosion that annihilated Kounat.

Even several hundreds of years after the establishment of the kingdoms, Baldinar had survived as an astral form due to the effects of the Soul Stone that he had created. Once he realized that the essence that each god of Xenia held was a piece of the Soul Stone, Baldinar snuck deep into the land and began to spread the demonic essence he had acquired.

It was later determined that the Soul Stone predated the tragedy of Baldinar and that many of them had been scattered all over the world during the First Demon War. Since then, the Holy Kingdom of Roose has had an annual Aernas Prayer Ceremony event, during which the stones that had been recovered from the pilgrimage are cleansed in a purification ritual—suggesting that they are considerably much weaker and susceptible than the Soul Stone that Baldinar had made.


Story[]

Forest of Life[]

After they gathered all the orbs that should overwhelm that of the Ascendant God's, Mari realized they were the Soul Stone fragments that rather gave off such weak power.

Fortress of Ascension[]

Sieghart demanded Thanatos to tell them how it was that he had the Soul Stone much to Elesis' confusion.

Thunder Hammer[]

With some of her lost memories coming back to her, Mari stated how the Deity Orbs were in actuality fragments of the Soul Stone which contained power equal to that of the gods and there would be no stopping Ashtaroth if he put the Soul Stone back together.

Relics of Kounat[]

Geas Mari[]

In pursuit of Ashtaroth, Mari and the Grand Chase entered the Relics of Kounat when she suddenly lost consciousness. While unconscious, the Soul Stone made contact with her and revealed all the secrets behind the destruction of Kounat. The Soul Stone had hitherto remained buried within the ruins.

When Mari had accepted the burden of incorporating the power of the gods, she absorbed the incredible energy of the Soul Stone into her own body. Able to handle the divine energy with ease, Mari created as many of the Soul Stones as needed to stabilize her W.D.W. which before the girl could control for a few brief moments.

Monster Train 301[]

Ashtaroth who effortlessly took down Existor and the Violet Mage prior claimed that he had become as strong as the Creator and simply wanted to test the Soul Stone's powers on them though Sieghart knew the Soul Stone's powers could not be truly awakened without Mari.


Item[]

Deity Orbs[]

DeityOrbs

The Deity Orbs were six pieces of the Soul Stone that had shattered during the Great Explosion of Kounat and had landed in Xenia. After the native guardians that had existed in Xenia each took a piece of the Soul Stone and believed it to be the essence of the gods, they governed Xenia as the six gods.

In the game, they are special items that can only be used in the Fortress of Ascension to help the player in battle. To use the orbs, the player has to own at least one. Press Z while near an orb in one of the rooms in the dungeon to activate it. The orb activated must be the same one as the orb the player has or nothing will happen. After the orb was used, the symbol will vanish but reappear again after a limited time depending on the orb.

Trivia[]

Wavelengths of Soul

Attributes from left to right: Life, Cycle, Retribution, Balance, and Ruin.

  • It is said that the crystals that shone in the Bright Forest of ancient Kounat were vestiges of the attack from the Aernas Hammer which suggests that they were most likely Soul Stones as well.
  • The Orb of Destruction is said to "freeze all the monsters in their tracks" in its item description. However, no such effect is shown, and has an entirely different power.
  • The Orb of Life is the only item obtained by not defeating the deity that holds it. Instead, the player must defeat Rukkha who had absorbed Gaia.
  • The Orb of Life is the only item that does not bear the mark of the deity. Instead, it has five branches representing Rukkha.
  • In Grand Chase Dimensional Chaser, the symbols on the Attribute icons are based on the Deity Orbs.
