Doran was gifted with a soul-stone by the Auron tribe for showing them how to make fire after half their tribe had been stripped of magic and banished from the island of Auron. Doran carried the soul-stone throughout his life, and it recorded his memories.[2]
The Shadowlands[]
Penn told Lief, Barda, and Jasmine about Doran's soul-stone when she gave the companions theirs.[2]
Isle of the Dead[]
After Veritas took Doran's breath, his body crumbled, leaving behind his soul-stone, among other objects.[3]
The Sister of the South[]
Lief placed the soul-stone among his silver flask — which had contained the south fragment of a map to the Four Sisters — at a grave they dedicated to him on the coast of The Finger. Touching the soul-stone gave Lief a look into Doran's memories, and allowed him to learn the names of the seven remaining dragons of Deltora.[4]
