Sarnim Stone
For the pre-first age history of the Stone see Unglak and the Stone
The Stone's home off the Prime was in the Abyss, with Orcus. If it has to go somewhere, then it should be there. However, Zeus has sent Athena to the Prime, charged with destroying the Stone. We don't yet know how she plans to do so and whether it has to be reformed first. It is also not clear whether destroying it is the right answer as it may unbalance things to much in favour of the Sword.
Retrieving the Stone is the fundamental reason that Orcus is on the Prime. He may well return to the Abyss if he retrieved it. Either way, his motivation to be on the Prime would certainly be lessened. Again, this is not a universally good thing as Orcus sits in opposition to Demogorgon, the only being on the Prime currently able to resist him. If Orcus left the Prime, then Demogorgon would be largely unchecked.
Stone was originally held by Orcus in the Abyss - mounted in his wand (which he made so as to control the Stone)
Lastar made the staff to do the same. see Staves
The Sarnim Stone was the name given to a gem first found by the Gnomes and forcibly taken by the dwarves of Balem before coming to Lastar.
570E
Realising that Dispater would be even stronger on his own plane, Lastar builds another powerful artefact to help him defeat the Devil. The Sarnim Stone was a gem that Unglak’s father had discovered at the beginning of time. Using the Crowns and the Rings, and with the aid of Orodruin’s folk and his God, Anubis, Lastar gives the Sarnim Stone many magical powers. The Gem was born!!! To bear the Stone, Lastar makes a great staff in mockery of the Wand of Orcus. Lastar and Bavarik travel to the Abyss using the Pentogram at Zundar. Lastar uses all his combined powers, including the Rings, Staff and Sarnim Stone and the Wand of Orcus to kill Dispater. Bavarik returns to the Prime and tolls of Lastar’s glory. Lastar knows he cannot take artefacts with him to Anubis’ Divine House so, with the Wand of Orcus, he shatters the Sarnim Stone, breaks the Staff, separates the Crowns and scatters the Rings.(1st Age History)

(95) 940 - Rakos and the shards of Lastar’s Gem - Rakos is delivered to Gloun. The dwarves also discover the Gem of Mischief and Strife hidden in the vaults of Minas Aarda. They give the Gem to Iki who promises to take it to Sutur. Iki Moko returns to the Castle with all four Rings and the shard. By some strange misfortune, Dordraug still has the other shards (the Gem of Life and the Gem of Law) with him as he flees
(100) 945 The Council of Aarda - The Council convened and comprised: Essulim of the Vikriain; Shono Na of the Monastery; Lucielle of the Sylvan Lands; Ythanos, son of Eomere; Haemrandir of Numenorea; Gloun of Hama’Las; and Grobdûr of Fangor Rodrus. It determined that the Gems were indeed of Lastar’s make and that they were to be protected. They are reminded of Kular’s death and his loss of the Gem of Benevolence to Demogorgan. Ythanos tells Mariku’s story as far as he can and invited the council to peruse the great library at Sutur. However, Essulim decides to keep the shards hidden for the time being. Considering what he knew (or guessed) of their alignment, Essulim gives the Gem of Law to Shono Na and the Gem of Life to Lucielle. Lucielle presents the staff to the council who (having no wizard present) decide to pass it to Haemrandir for study and safe keeping. The council make finding Dordraug a high priority.
