The Kandarian Summoning Stone is a large limestone-like tablet that is covered in ancient hieroglyphs and spells. In 2003, the Summoning Stone played a key role in the mission to stop a Deadite invasion in the city of Dearborn, Michigan.
The Summoning Stone first appeared in the Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick video game.
History[]
Creation[]
It is unknown when the Kandarian Summoning Stone was created, though it had been around for at least several centuries by the year 2003.
Attack of Dearborn[]
At some point in the hundreds of years of it's existence, the Summoning Stone fell into the possession of collector Nathanial Payne, who then took it to his museum in Dearborn. Payne used the stone's power to turn himself into a monstrous creature, which resulted in the stone becoming part of him. In 2003, Dearborn was under siege from the undead, prompting monster-fighter Ash Williams to jump into action. Doctor Alex Eldridge, an associate of the late Professor Raymond Knowby, told Williams to find the Summoning Stone, as it might be able to stop evil from overrunning the town.
Ash eventually found the mutated Nathanial Payne in a secret temple underneath the museum, where the two engaged in a battle between human and monster. Williams was victorious in the fight, and recovered the Summoning Stone from inside Payne's body. Eldridge took the stone, revealing his true intentions to control the Deadites, and opened a time vortex. Ash gave chase, following Eldridge across time as he used the stone's power to summon evil in various time periods. Eventually, Ash found and hid the stone in Fort Dearborn in the year 1863, but not before Eldridge used the Summoning Stone to turn himself into a demonic creature much like Payne had previously done.
While Williams was chasing Eldridge across time, Trisha Pettywood (who now controlled the Deadites in 2003) recovered the stone and used it to become "The Deadite Queen", a bat/worm-like creature. Ash Williams returned to 2003 after killing Eldridge, and quickly went after Pettywood. Defeating "The Deadite Queen", Ash used the Summoning Stone to try and fix the Deadite-run city, only to accidentally mess up the words of the spell and end up in Asia during the 12th Century.
