| {{major spoiler small}}<blockquote>''"The obelisk is marked with [[The Correspondence|the words of the emissaries]] – of meeting, of peace.

| The obelisk was erected by the Garden-King's fungal servants and a [[The House of Rods and Chains|messenger]] "emblazoned with the sign of [[The Halved|two overlapping suns]]" as a form of alliance between their masters. It details the long forgotten promise and concord between both [[Judgements]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/A_Moment%27s_Memory|A Moment's Memory|Sunless Skies}}</ref>
