Artifacts

Named relics, texts and wonders: what they are, where they have been, and who holds them now. Generic campaign loot is not listed; the chronicles record it where it matters. Rules for items live in ARCS, and no page here reproduces them.

Wonders of the Ages

Artifact	Summary
Throne of Law	The Einar's seat of dominion over creation, sat by Tamariel and Izhtari, used to make the Primal Dragons, and shattered by Kalar's rebellion into the Astral Shards.
Worldstone	The Anthu'Mithis, forged from a Throne shard to make the Abyss and bind the Mithis; kept by the High Elves and then the dragons; its destruction was the Shattering.
The Earth-Heart	The great red Worldstone fragment that fell on Markhan, temple of the orcs' earth-heart cult, merged with the spirit of Agrob, maker of the dinosaurs.
Elda'Primu	The Spiritfire Orb, an Eldritch device powered by an imprisoned god that turned the Uk'Zarai into the first Demons; set in Mephistus's staff.

The Mithis Heartstone and its Kalamites

Artifact	Summary
Mithis Heartstone	The set of Kalamite pieces, each tied to a god, that together are the Astral Key to the Mithis shard.
Arcane Eye	The Kalamite Eye, keystone to the Arcane Heart, taken from the Vault of the Eye by the Sancturi party.
Kalamite Chestplate of the Rising Sun	Kalar's piece of the Heartstone, a breastplate that becomes a vambrace and absorbs all Mithis magic.

Eldritch prisons and soul-weapons

Artifact	Summary
Eldritch Soulcruxes	The warm black triangles that hold the shattered souls of the Eldritch, many hidden in Kalari relics; with the Godfire Lantern, the Divine Lantern of Saint Vharman and the Keeper Scrolls.
Soulcrusher	The soul-absorbing darkmetal hammer of the Faceless One, the only weapon able to break the Heart of Bhol'tho.
Mala'thazus	The elvish adamantine dagger through which Malathar the Pestilent fed on Argo, and still speaks; with its sibling Etha'zurias.
Keeper's Vengeance	A Proturan-campaign blade that wakes in three stages, the last of which traps souls in it forever.

Elven relics

Artifact	Summary
Seed of Caerylas	One of Arya's three Seeds of life, on which the last Caerylas Tree, the undying Caolynni and elven fertility depend; with the gifts of the Shrine.
Raven's Beak	Caolynni's dagger that harms only the enemies of life and flies as a raven.

Devices

Artifact	Summary
Dracius Cradle	Severac's amplifier of primal dragon energy that lets a dragon egg hatch without a Primal, powered by a titan fragment.
Rift-Gates	The powered gates between the Material and the Rift, with Rift-Stones, warp-stones, Jumpstones and the Guhvil gear for travel in the Rift.
Vigils	Five-sided Sancturi obelisks of melted Mithis that hold back the Hollowing, and hollow the land if left untended.
Calcadyia's Crystal Lance	Khardas's titan-forged spear that strips the defences of elemental beings, held by the Primal Union of Ter'Gaia.

Texts

Artifact	Summary
Elysium's Gate	The holy text of the Sancturi, copied from the Sanctoric Cartus, whose Seven Guiding Principles are the empire's constitution.
Lesser Texts	Books, codices, ledgers and maps named once or twice, from Djarstrom's Treatise on the Elemental Cycle to The Well of Ravas.

Lesser relics

Artifact	Summary
Lesser Relics	Short entries for named objects with a part in the stories: regalia, saints' relics, idols and totems, devices, and the remains of dragons and gods.

Items of Power

The archive holds a folder of item write-ups, the Items of Power: Heartseeker, the Mithril Rod, Souldrinker, the Staff of the Magi, the Sunstorm Barrier, the Symbol of Tolmec and Xuqdrkaan's Lance.

Gap

The Items of Power survive only as images that have not been converted to text, so nothing can yet be said of them beyond their names.
