Ambassador Dannyl and Tayend of Tremmelin explore Armje in The Novice, as part of their research into ancient magic. Dannyl, unknowing of the dangers, wanders into the Chamber of Ultimate Punishment and is attacked. He is drained of all his magic, but fortunately was saved by Tayend who dragged him out. They find a symbol of a person with a blade, but are unable to fully understand what it means. Akkarin who had visited the place years before, had left his name there with a warning, however it had crumbled away. |

When exploring the hills in Sachaka, Dannyl comes across a place which reminds him of Armje. It is a natural cave with magical stones, which is explained by his guide Uhn. The stones can be programmed to strike, something that is well known by the Duna people. It can be assumed that Armje was made by Higher Magicians who understood how to use the stones, to execute other magicians as they would not be able to draw energy from anything around them. |
