Is the Orcrest a portal to another dimension?

Given that the orcrest appears to be translucent but does not allow objects to bee seen through it, could it be a portal to another dimension or perhaps a conduit to nothingness? Or is it a bane of earthpower that does not perceive the ordinary world similar to Glimmermere?

Thoughts.

I always thought of it as a piece of rock that has an extraordinary amount of earthpower in it. Perhaps it can mind-meld with other pieces of Orcrest; I wouldn't know because I do not have rocks in my head. Screwy

I am absolutely certain that they did.

Well as certain as I can be with no proof, circumstantial evidence, or any reason to think it's true at all Very Happy

Proof? What more proof do you need than that Linden was unable to decypher the Orcrest language?

cf,
Maybe we'll hear yet another creation story, and the One Stone will end up in it somewhere.

The One Rock was the original colonists' teleportation device; so was the One Tree. They intergrated their technology with plants, and they also used stones and water.

So does translucent mean the same as transparent?
