I fully agree with the above: destroying the Stone of Jas was no small feat. It does however give another reason why we should not have even bothered getting the stone "back" from the Dragonkin when we are told (lied to) that they have "stolen" it: if they truly had the stone then rather than destroying it (near impossible) they would have hid it. That hypothetical situation would have not upset the Elder Gods as much as destroying their artifact.
This still makes me wonder why my character took Sliske's bait and tried to get the stone "back" at the start of Kindred Spirits.
It is something easily solved though by adding a chat option to not help Relomia, only to still be kidnapped. At least that is what I want to believe is what really happened.
Well you make some assumptions here about what the dragonkin would do. For a start you assume all the dragonkin would function like the Dactyl (Kerapac specifically) would do, which is not what the Necrosyrtes would do AT ALL.
The Necrosyrtes having the stone would likely be bad . Look what they did when they took divine energy to empower themselves in Hero's Welcome.
You also assume a lot about Elder God motivations or opinions but that's for another day.
You weren't just seeking Sliske remember. You were also seeking all the people that had gone missing and were being held hostage. There has to be an assumption that the player cares about other people's plight, otherwise it becomes impossible to assume motivation for anything. You are a hero, after all, so we assume you're pretty up for rescuing those genuinely in need.
I do acknowledge that it's a bit of a railroad, but I think you can easily justify it from the player's point of view.

Isn't Mod Raven getting off topic on the thread? Probably but it's always nice to have some of the less clear things cleared up. Though I consider destroying the near invincible Stone of Jas child's play compared to surviving the 7k+ gravities of acceleration of a cannon-barrel boat (bullet from a gun lol) dimension/time hopping and the general lunacy of our life
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!
