	An artifact likely forged during the [[Isu Era]], the monument was presumably left behind by the Isu following the [[Great Catastrophe]] that wiped out most of their race, leaving only those directly descended from the Isu to be able to access the monument's powers. Following the emergence of the [[Celtic mythology\|Celtic cultures]] in Ireland, the monument was eventually discovered by its druid residents and it became a celebrated legend. While most druids left the artifact alone, a portion of the druids greatly revered its power and suit to use it for their own goals and control.<ref name="WotD">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Wrath of the Druids''</ref>		An artifact likely forged during the [[Isu Era]], the monument was presumably left behind by the Isu following the [[Great Catastrophe]] that wiped out most of their race, leaving only those directly descended from the Isu to be able to access the monument's powers.
