Do you think the rock in the map Cathedral of Dusk could be one of Oryx's tablets? The 'table stone' of an altar? Gravemarker/tombstone?

It's possible. I don't think there's anything to say it isn't. I do wonder if he'd have just left it laying around. Presumably, Oryx was still alive in his alternate dimension for part of the time we were holding Crucible matches so it does seem a bit unlikely he didn't have his tablets with him. But given that the Dreadnaught is kinda his throne world in and of itself... maybe sitting right there in its special spot is considered being with him?

We see one of the tablets in Gogoroth's cellar. It lights up as guardians die and will wipe the team if 6 kick the bucket. This is the only time we see one of the tablets in game, as far as I know.

Also, the marathon backstory at one point was a bunch of immortals fighting it out due to boredom :)
