This Lore category details unique, powerful objects whose mechanics are a direct reflection of their narrative history. Each artifact is a “living story,” saturated with the Eidos of its past wielders and the events it has witnessed. These entries explore how a simple tool or weapon can, through time and trial, become a character in its own right, with a will and purpose that influences the Incarnation who holds it.
