	The '''Tear of Boccob''' was a tear-shaped crystal given to the archpriests of the [[Temple of the Mind's Eye]] in [[Estorium]] by [[Boccob]] in the year 1632. An order of priests, known as the Kaorti, was created to study the artifact. Their research led to many magical innovations, leading to an era of magical prosperity for Estorium. After the [[Illithid War]], the surviving members of the Kaorti took the Tear out of Estorium, founding the town of [[Wellspring]] far to the north. Fearing what might happen if the illithids found the Tear, they constructed a hidden tower in the mountains near Wellspring to house it, and sequestered themselves there. Contact between Wellspring and the tower was limited and quickly ceased altogether. Eventually, the tower's location was forgotten and the tear fell into myth.

			Tephra's followers delivered the Tear to her at the [[Fortress at World's End]] in the [[Frostland]], where she quickly set to work using it to open a small portal to the Far Realm. Using a specially-constructed orrery, she channeled its energy back through the Far realm to unseal the portal in Estorium. When the Challengers arrived, [[Kalth]] removed the Tear and threw it into the portal; the Far Realm energy spilling through the Tear into itself caused a planar feedback loop, and the Tear imploded.
