A Hex Locus (also known as a Soul Shard) is a crystallized portion of the weave from the time when Mystra was assassinated and the weave collapsed, bringing about the spellplague.
The first Soul Shard we encountered was in a box in the caverns below the Helmite Cathedral in Helm's Hold. It had a blue aura flowing into it with occasional flashes as the enthralled spellscarred in the basement of the cathedral jumped into the stream. When Jacob tried to destroy it, Rohini grabbed it and ran off.
We've since seen a few other Soul Shards in the North:
- One was jammed into the hilt of a sword wielded by a Grey Wolf in Conyberry, creating a blue-flame blade
- Pan is currently in possession of this sword hilt
- One was in the root system of a tree near Agathula and was imprisoning her in her grove outside Conyberry
- Jacob currently has this shard in his backpack
- One was in the quarry under Conyberry when it was controlled by the Uthgardt Grey Wolf Tribe
- This one was carried away by Baragustas of the Grey Wolves
We don't really know what they do yet?
