Title: a book entitled 'Beacon Stones'

Mysterious artifacts known as beacon stones dot the landscape of the mortal
world. Relics left behind by the ancient giant civilizations, they serve as
points of travel between this world and extraplanar realms. Individual
stones are stand between six and twenty feet tall. They can be made from
nearly any sort of hard, enduring stone such as granite, obsidian or jade.
A few have a distinct metallic luster. The stones appear to use spellcraft
not unlike the great portals, and they appear to be about the same age as
well.

The stones themselves are inert. When examined magically, they are found to
be massive resevoirs of mana. This magic can only be activated by a special
key. When the correct key is used on a beacon stone, it briefly opens a
portal to another plane. Each stone opens a portal to a different location,
and this does not appear to change with time. While beacon stones
themselves cannot be replicated by modern magic, scholars have been
successful crafting new keys for them.
