In ancient times, all races were gathered together and spoke the same language, and they had built a city with a great tower. This tower was being built as a way to reach the realm of the gods; but the gods, worried that they would blaspheme while trying to reach their kingdom, decide to destroy the tower and punish the survivors by removing their tongues and twisting them so that they all speak different languages. From then on, all races fought or distanced themselves from each other because they could not understand each other, and the pieces of the tower that had united them for one purpose were scattered across the face of the world. Except one... its cornerstone.
With the destruction of the tower, the gods unknowingly give it some divinity and the power that now resides in this piece can break the curse placed on the races as long as they are in its presence.

This 5x2.5x2.5 foot piece of masonry and 500 pounds of weight, has engravings chiseled on its surface and a mystical presence is feel around it, compeling to anyone to touch it. Any creatures who are in contact with it will be able to talk, read, write and understand any language as long the source is also in contact with the stone. Anyone who is not out of touch with the block will only be able to understand the language they are proficient with.
All material written or transcribed during contact will revert to the original language in which it was taken when contact is lost. Only applies to text-to-text transcription; on voice-to-text, the transcribed text will be translated to the language on which the scribe has.
The block is immune to any damage and any means of removing a piece is useless. In the event that something can be extracted, the piece does not have the same properties as the original.
