SETTING
The stetting is the Phasing Plane of Meloria, a seemingly unstable realm of islands among a vast salt-water ocean, with a distorted mirror for a sky which reflects the multi-colored light of 6 jagged gem-like moon-stars. (So far we've been on a small tropical island and an ocean-going sailing vessel.)
A 'ravenloft'-esk place you are whisked into from your native realms. A bubbling essence grows in your heart, and keeps you here and lets the Realm of Meloria feed off your energy. You wink in and out of Meloria, and back to your native realms (which we don't play). When in your native realm you have no recollection of Meloria at all until you return. When you leave Meloria, a tiny Ioun Stone from your heart remains there, it's up to your allies to keep your Ioun Stones safe from Narggles when you wink back home. If the Narggles (mostly amphibious humanoids) capture and bring your Heart Ioun Stones back to their leader you could be trapped and aware; enslaved inside of your own Heart Stone forever as you are used like a battery/power-source.
(This completely made-up setting facilitates people coming in and out of the Chat game mid-session, and makes transitions smooth and painless, if a bit confusing for the characters themselves lol)
NOTES ABOUT THE STONES:
Individual Ioun Stones can be used once per day to gain a +1 on any ONE die roll. This is a swift action that requires you to be holding the stone in one hand. (or, having a glove with the gem in a place touching either hand...a common tactic among other's you'll see on your journey.)
For every 5 unused Heart Ioun stones you are carrying on your person somewhere, you are granted a +1 circumstance bonus on ALL die rolls. (to a max of +5)
NOTE: Heart Ioun Stones will randomly start to vibrate, you have exactly 1 round (the stone would roll init+0 on the following turn) to get the stone to a good location before it bursts into the living humanoid whose heart it belongs to. So if it's inside a sack that sack will be destroyed, and you might have movement issues, especially if the stone belonged to someone you don't get along with.
