Either by divine intervention or by artificial construction, the world of Aloria has numerous Artifacts produced throughout the ages, powerful objects with often magical powers. In the hands of their wielders, Artifacts have been used to do great good and great evil, and sometimes yet these objects themselves drove them to these moral extremes. Artifacts are extremely rare, and more often than not does only one of each exist in the world. They are difficult to find, though when found, draw considerable attention to their owner both from the public eye, as well as more sinister forces.
Dragon Artifacts
Crafted from the magics of Dragons, both from their mind and body.
Dragon Artifacts are among the oldest in the world and often also the most powerful and the most sought after, yet also the most difficult to find. What is deceptive about Dragon Artifacts is that they often appear incredibly mundane, but possess huge powers that even Void or Exist mages cannot compare with.
Elven Artifacts
Blessed with a touch of the ages, or with the vileness of darkness.
Elven Artifacts are more numerous than the others, and also well recorded in modern history. Elven Artifacts can frequently be found among the archives of great Empires, though also in the possession of great mages and statesmen. Elven Artifacts were made by their Goddess Estel, the Nenya, or the Elven Pantheon.
Arken Artifacts
Whatever they may touch should run in fear.
Arken Artifacts are items known or highly suspected to be crafted by the Arken. These are separate from Elven artifacts because of their lack of religious or cultural ties to the Nelfin as a whole, though some artifacts may be Nelfin. In such cases when they are, the artifact is normally more recent and would seem to have been created in the wake of the Cataclysm.
Modern Artifacts
Shiny and new in their accursed function
Modern Artifacts are some of the most recent Artifacts in Aloria, created after the Cataclysm but lacking all of the specifics of the others before it. Many are Human created, but with influences from the Magic of the past. They also often lack the religious importance items such as Elven Artifacts possess.
