## THE WORLD

Classification: CARDINAL KYLIX

Description: A large, shallow metal cup, freezing to the touch.

Legends tell of the Statue Civilization and their ability to extinguish any opposition or rage from elemental forces, making them docile and predictable – a power that, millennia ago, allowed them to build immense cities and create an unprecedented civilization. In this age of unpredictable and destructive natural phenomena, some regard that power as a source of hope and answers. Preserved in the hands of a colossal statue at the bottom of the Northern Chasm, this artifact whispers promises of control and safety, of a world where humanity will become master of land and sea. There is only one question it cannot answer: what will humans do when they have nothing to fear anymore, except each other?

## EGG OF ILLUYANKA

Description: A heavy and cumbersome egg with an extremely hard, striped shell.

Over the centuries, the mighty draconic creatures known as Illuyanka ruled over the Cedar Forest, discouraging any attempt to build a permanent settlement. But with the arrival of drought, the tribes of the plains formed an alliance, creating hunter cadres to exterminate the already-scarce Illuyanka, and cut down the forest to create new pastures. This egg is probably the last of its kind, preserved by the elven ascetics of the Yellowcape Clan in anticipation of a threat that, according to their oral tradition, will manifest when the egg hatches.

## GEMSHORN OF TRANQUILITY

Description: A flute carved from the horn of a cliffgoat.

When a cliffgoat reaches the end of their life and manages to serenely breathe their last, one of their horns might fall off. Once collected and crafted by a skilled artisan, the horn becomes a musical instrument with magical properties: if the flutist has good intentions, their music soothes the fear and rage of beast, monster and plant creatures (an effect equivalent to a Chimerism or Spiritism Ritual, but requiring neither Mind Points nor a Magic Check; however, during a conflict, it still needs a full Clock to activate).
