Artifacts

The artifacts are legendary weapons forged by the gods to be used by their champions during the primordial god war. After the war was over, they were all hidden away by the gods. The artifacts can only be wielded by those that the artifact chooses, and each artifact has its own affinity towards people.

Tonitrua and Fulgur

Forged by the goddess Niana. These gauntlets combine the power of thunder and lightning to give the user a good fraction of the goddesses power. The gauntlets are said to favor those who possess great strength. During the primordial war, Tonitrua and Fulgur were wielded by Vivienne, the Lady of the Lake. She typically wielded it as a trident.


When wearing the gauntlets, you gain the following abilities:



You can awaken the artifact as a free action for 10 minutes once a day.

Horologium

Forged by the Raven Queen. This is more of a tool than a weapon, but it’s said to have the power to warp time in various ways. It takes the form of a black pocket watch with a raven engraved on the back, and favors those who have had many near experiences with death. During the primordial war, this was wielded by Azrael. He was the champion of the Raven Queen. This artifact was also wielded by Clyde during the Second Soul Chamber Crisis, who is now a god.


When attuned to it, it has the following properties:


Once per day, you can activate its true power for one minute. When its activated, you gain the following abilities:

Sanguines Kiss

Nobody really knows who forged this weapon, and scholars debate whether it actually is an artifact or not, however legend says it favors undead. It has the power to build up curse and cause huge amounts of blood loss. During the Second Soul Chamber Crisis, it was first wielded by the vampire lord Godfrey, but eventually it came into the possession of the hero Charlisle. Sanguines Kiss is a rapier with a long thin blade lined with sharp spikes. This hilt is clear and hollow. With  a button on the hilt, the rapier blade extends and becomes like a whip.


The weapon has the following properties:


You can awaken the blade for 10 minutes as a free action once per day. When awakened, you gain the following properties:

Firebrand

Firebrand was once a powerful phoenix demigod who merged himself with a magic weapon forged by the god of war Atos to combat ancient primordial titans. Firebrand was unique, because he chose an ordinary mortal human being named Solaris to wield him into battle against the immortals, while all the other demigods chose champions created by the gods. Solaris became the strongest warrior in the entire universe, outclassing all the other champions by sheer skill, and eventually somehow ended up wielding two artifacts. Solaris persisted after the primordial war, and became the protector of the universe alongside Firebrand.


While attuned this way, you gain the following benefits:

Once per day, you can awaken Firebrands true power for 10 minutes as a free action. You can unawaken the weapon, and then reawaken it with any remaining time you have left. While awakened, you gain the following benefits:


Moonshard

Moonshard was a timeless being who shifted through space and time at will. She was said to have travelled further than the gods had ever gone. Moonshard accidentally shifted to the wrong place at the wrong time, and was merged with a bow crafted by the goddess Sehanine. With no way to safely extract her, Moonshard reluctantly agreed to help the fight against the primordials, with the condition that she would be free to do as she pleased after the battle was won. She lended her power to a champion named Kallisto, and after the battle was over, Moonshard went back to exploring the cosmos while trapped in the form of a bow. Eventually she joined Solaris on his journey to protect the universe.

Lance of Longinus

The most powerful artifact created, the lance was forged by Aether. The lance was so powerful that it was only ever used once by Freyr, the champion of Aether during the primordial war, before vanishing from history.  It eventually reappeared and was briefly wielded by the legendary hero Orion Pax. It was so powerful that when Orion used it, it blew a chunk of the moon off. The weapon itself takes the appearance of a 10ft rusty piece of rebar.


This weapon only has one effect:

Yuvon

Yuvon is a shield forged by Bahumat, the god of dragons, justice and law. This shield is said to provide the perfect combination of offense and defense. The Shield is said to favor those who have a strong sense of justice. It was wielded by Aevros, an adamantine dragon who was the champion of Bahumat during the primordial war. It was later wielded by the legendary hero Orion Pax during the Second Soul Chamber Crisis.

Corrupted Artifacts

Legends tell of a dark and twisted timeline, where Septius Crowe spread his influence from within his prison, the Soul Chamber. He corrupted the protector of the universe, Solaris, and the world went down a dark path. The artifacts were corrupted with Crowe's necrotic energy, making them more powerful than usual, but also with serious draw backs.

Toniture and Fulgur (Ruined)

These were once metal gauntlets carved with intricate patterns of the sea and adorned with sapphire gems, but now they are scraps of jagged metal. When attuned to Tonitrua and Fulgur, the metal scraps impale themselves into the user's arm. 


Once per day, you can awaken Tonitrua and Fulgur’s true power for 1 minute as a free action. While awakened, you gain the following benefits:


Horologium (Shattered)

This watch was once a very fancy black obsidian stopwatch with a raven head as the button. Now the glass that protects the hands is broken, and the hands tick erratically.


Once per day, you can awaken Horologiums true power for 1 minute as a free action. While awakened, you gain the following benefits:

Firebrand (Corrupted)

Firebrand was once the trusted companion of the legendary champion Solaris. It imparted the power of a phoenix into anybody with a strong enough fighting spirit. It looked like an ordinary weapon with no distinguishing features, but it could change shape and form to suit the situation of the wielder at will. Now Firebrand lies corrupted, glowing with black flames wrapped around the weapon, and drains the energy from those who wield it.


Moonshard (Fractured)

Moonshard was once a crystal bow that allowed the wielder to fire arrows that pierced through space and time. It is said that Solaris once used this bow to protect the universe from threats unseen. Moonshard lies fractured, now a floating collection of shards instead of a bow.


Once per day, you can awaken Moonshards true power for 1 minute as a free action. While awakened, you gain the following benefits:

Yuvon (Broken)

Yuvon was once a pristine platinum shield made of dragon scales with a dragon head sculpted on the front of the shield, however Yuvon stands broken. The platinum has rusted, cracks have formed in the dragon scales, and the head of the dragon has snapped off of the shield. Despite all this, Yuvon stands strong. It’s powers have adapted to its new form. 


Once per day, you can awaken Yuvons true power for 1 minute as a free action. While awakened, you gain the following benefits:
