The ''' | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Key Item]] in {{CT}}. The stone requires constant exposure to sunlight for several million years before storing enough to generate power. When the stone dims from use or lack of sunlight, it is known as [[Moon Stone]]. Able to store solar energy within its spherical surface, it releases beams of light when struck, as demonstrated by [[Taban]] during the [[Moonlight Parade]] in [[Leene Square]]. In an optional quest, this item is obtained by leaving Moon Stone in the [[Sun Shrine]] from [[Prehistory]] to the [[Future]]. | ||
==History== | |||
[[File:Sun_Stone_Sprites.png|left]]Stored in a [[Sun Temple|Palace]] of [[Zeal]], this brightly colored rock previously fueled the floating islands of the Kingdom prior to the invention of the [[Mammon Machine]]. Serving as the foremost source of elemental energy for the sorcerers of Zeal, the Sun Stone is used to craft powerful defensive armors such as [[Red Plate]] and [[Blue Vest]], and powerful weapons, such as the [[Swallow]]. It is apparent that the people of Zeal once owed their well-being to the planet and her natural gifts; however, with the advent of the Mammon Machine, elemental energy usage was forbidden and the items created with it were sealed up in the [[North Palace]]. After [[Prehistory|65000000 years]], the Sun Stone dims, leading to such statements as "we do not need the energy of this tired, old planet," from the citizens of [[Enhasa]] and [[Kajar]]. Technologies such as the [[Land Bridge]]s and [[Skyway]]s were fueled by the stone, and what appears to be [[Dreamstone]] glyphs. | |||
[[File:Sun shrine 01.gif|thumb|right|180px|The party discovers the [[Sun Shrine]], the locale for charging the Sun Stone.]] | |||
After defeating the [[Son of the Sun]] in the [[Sun Temple]], [[Crono]] and his friends store it in the Sun Shrine, northeast of the [[Tyranno Lair]] in Prehistory. The time-travels hop through time to check on the mythic rock's progress. | |||
During the [[Present]], the [[Porre Mayor]] steals the stone from the [[Sun Shrine]]. Half-charged, Crono locates the relic from the rays of sparkling light emitting from the Manor in [[Porre]]. The selfishness of the man empowers him to lie about stealing the stone and refuse to hand it over. Traveling backwards in time to convince his ancestors to instill honesty in their children, Crono returns to the Porre Mayor, now a generous man, and receives the stone. [[Spiced Jerky]] is necessary for completing this task. | |||
Bringing the stone to [[Lucca's House]], if [[Lucca]] is not present when the stone is plucked from the Pedestal in the Future, she creates the [[Wondershot]] (her best [[gun]]) from it. Her father, Taban, creates the [[Sunglasses]] at this time also. | |||
[[File:Tabansunstone.png|right|thumb|Taban strikes the Stone to produce fireworks.]] | |||
If the [[Rainbow Shell]] is recovered from [[Giant's Claw]] and transported to [[Guardia Castle]], [[Melchior]] creates [[Rainbow]]([[Crono]]'s best [[katana]]) and [[PrismSpecs]] (an [[accessory]] that maximizes attack) from an alloy of the shell and the stone. During the Moonlight Parade, Taban strikes the stone with a mallet to produce fireworks for the festival-goers. | |||
==''Chrono Cross''== | |||
Since Taban retains the stone in the ending of ''Chrono Trigger'', it is safely inferred that he still possesses long after [[Lavos]] is destroyed and discarded at the [[Darkness At The End Of Time]]. Because Lucca opens an orphanage in the same location, and lives with Taban and [[Lara Ashtear|her mother]], it is assumed agents from Porre stole the stone while burning the island the home in search of the [[Robo|Prometheus Circuit]]. This may explain the swiftness and seeming ease with which they defeated [[Guardia]]. It is foreseeable, the devastating power the Masamune would obtain when forged with the power of the Sun Stone. | |||
