When a character succeeds on a skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

:''DC 15:'' Altars of the old ones are places of special significance to a particular cult, deity, eldritch being, or the like.  Some secret connection to the entity in question lies there for those with the mad insight to activate it.

:''DC 25:'' These alters do not merely work for anyone.  One must be enlightened with [[Dark Insight (3.5e Variant Rule)|dark insight]] to even attune to these places, and certain esoteric conditions must be fulfilled for it to reveal its true nature.

:''DC 35:'' Those "lucky" enough to see what these altars really all can attempt to entreat and call upon the entity in question.
