Talismans of Antiquity

The items of phenomenal - sometimes otherworldly - power that were crafted throughout the Age of Artifice Arcana. Many of these items had the ability to tap into the leylines of Altheris, furthering their upper limits of grand magical capacity. By the end of the Age they were utilized as weapons of war, and their combined application largely led to the Sundering, and the following ice age (the Age of Frostveil).

The Talismans of Antiquity were largely lost at the end of the First Age, and most of them remain unaccounted for. They are largely tools of legend now - stories of vestiges from the golden era of artifice and magic. Nevertheless, they have inspired and been sought out by many who have been learned or lucky enough to hear of them.

Talismans
Some of the Talismans of Antiquity include...

The Soulscythe - the head of a large sickle, which can be adorned to most any staff to fully recreate the Soulscythe. Has the ability to cleave flesh and soul alike; but while flesh decays, souls are a longer lasting commodity, and the Soulscythe can hold the souls of those it reaps, using them later to increase its devastating power.

The Geas Stone - A series of smaller and smaller orbs layered within the last, each with small holes in their surfaces that open to the inner layers. Small swirls and grooves line every centimeter of surface on every orb that can be seen - it is said that the swirls are actually minute writing of the true name of everything on Talus, written by the God of Knowledge. When a particular name that is on the stone is spoken along with command spell triggers, the individual (if it is currently on the same plane as the person using the Geas Stone) is locked in a Geas, bound to the will of whoever spoke their name.
