A Gold Relic on Dar Shaw's Plateau?

A blood-stained note contained in a very cliche corked bottle was found floating in the water by a docked ship at The Boneyard."To those who care to know, I am Jacquotte Delahaye, captain of the Red Dawn." "My crew is dead and I am held captive by the natives of Dar Shaw. This is likely the last words I will ever pen, so I beseech you to find and take care of my brother, Johannes, who has not the mind to care for himself.""I should have known there is always truth in legend. The winds started before the island came in sight, strange winds with whispered words. The clouds rolled in, a brilliant gold as if lit by a burning sun, obscuring any view of the horizon. Lightning shot down, a vibrant blue, aiming right for Red Dawn 's main mast and splitting it in two. Thunder like the booming voice of the Gods shook and rattled the ship, splintering the decking. The wheel ripped from my hands and I was throttled through my cabin door as the bow seemed to lift from the sea and crash back down into a solid cliff face. Blood poured from my belly where a splintered board pierced my abdomen.""A brown-skinned man with a wicked knife hovered over me when I regained consciousness. I asked him to get it over with and he paused, uttered 'woman' with distaste, and hauled me up to shore.""I only caught a glimpse of it, the shining gold statue of a native woman, belly heavy with child. They called it tlazoteot and though it stood but a foot high, it lit up the night like the sun. Even in my wounded state, I could feel the power it held.""The native healers cleaned and packed my wound with mud and herbs, but it still festered. I am writing this as a fever threatens to take my sanity. Do not come after me. Stay far away from this place at all costs. Tlazoteot is to blame.""-Jacquotte"
