Artifacts of Myth
Balmung
Generally regarded as the most powerful enchanted weapon in all of Myth, Balmung boasts a storied history dating back to the earliest days of the Cath Bruig empire. Alric currently owns the blade.
In addition to being a very fine broadsword, Balmung features a variant Lightning attack. On any successful sword strike, this does additional lightning damage to the target, then arcs to any nearby targets as per the Dispersal Dream.
Balmung does not distringuish friend from foe, other than it will not attack its owner, so is best weilded by a great hero at good distance from his companions.
Rumor has it that Balmung posesses other great powers, including some disadvantages that may make even the mightiest archmage wary of unsheathing it too often. This suggests that Balmung may be intelligent, and that it attempts to neize control of its user.
No price can be placed on such an item.
Eblis Stones
Five magical stones of immense power. One was brought by a Berserk courier to Alric at his camp outside Rhi'Anon, and soon thereafter used to defeat Balor and end the Great War.
Ibis Crown of the Cath Bruig, The
A magical crown with immense powers, worn by the emperors of the Cath Bruig. Ceiscoran, at fantastic expense, comissioned eleven ordinary copies of it to me made, and when Balor and his Fallen Lords sacked the capital city Muirthemne, the true crown was nowhere to be found. Over a hundred years later, in the war against Soulblighter, Alric sent a crew of volunteers into the Mausoleum of Clovis to find it, then crowned himself the new emperor.
Tain, The
A small device with a very unusual pocket-universe within it, where neither space or time correspond to their outside equivilants. It was forged for Connacht by the Smiths of Muirthemne, and used to imprison the Myrkridia. It was later stolen by raiding barbarians from the south, but was eventually found by Soulblighter and used against the Legion during the Great War, when it was destroyed by the avatara Murgen and Cu Roi. Sixty years afterward, a shard of it was again used by Soulblighter to let the Summoner ressurect the Myrkridia, and by The Deceiver and the Legion to kill the Summoner.
Total Codex, The
The magical book which tells the history of every person ever to live. During the Great War The Head sent the Legion to Covenant to retrive it before The Watcher, who was also scouring the old city, could find it. On their escape through a tunnel to Shoal, the Journal Writer opened the Codex and read about The Summoner, who would "ressurect the Myrkridia and visit horrors on the world without equal in history or myth". Sixty years later, when Soulblighter returned and began searching for The Summoner, King Alric sent the Legion to Covenant once again to retrive the Codex from the Great Library before Soulblighter could use it to find The Summoner.
