The Metal Fragment and the Fire Being

Investigate the [113470|Strange Metal Fragment] that have appeared at the [ZONE_INFERNAL GATE|Infernal Gate] south of the [ZONE_DEADWOOD GROVE|Dead Tree Plains].

(Looking closely at the metal fragment, you notice finger prints where it has been touched by a Flame Devil. The metal surrounding the finger prints has been melted by a tremendous heat.

Why would the Flame Devils take the fragment and then just leave it here? Closer inspection may reveal the reason why.)

(It looks like the Flame Devils are guarding the metal fragment.

Could it be they are waiting for someone to come and take the fragment away?)

(Realistically, there's nothing more you can learn here. However, it does look small enough to carry. Why don't you give it a try?!)
