<Upon your investigation you discover that the shrine has a couple locations where jewels appeared to have been located, but no longer exist. Additionally, the center jewel appears to have several cracks in it as well. Checking your notes, the earthen mentions having prospected the jewels from a nearby mountain to the northwest. Perhaps you can prospect the earth in that area to find more of those jewels.>
