Artifact

Artifacts are mysterious relics, like vessels or staffs, unearthed from Ancient Zemurian civilisation ruins pre-dating the Great Collapse. The Septian Church tasked itself with the retrieval of these artifacts.

Backgrounds
Artifacts are essentially ancient orbments created by the ancient civilisations of Zemuria and capable of demonstrating power that exceeds the bounds of human comprehension. Artifacts are the models for all orbments produced today. They are generally found in ruins across the continent. Although they run on orbal energy just like contemporary orbments, they are operated differently and cannot yet be properly analysed with post-Orbal Revolution technologies.

The Septian Church has defined artifacts as "premature gifts from the Goddess" and, through its Congregation for the Sacraments, it claims responsibility for the artifacts' collection and control.
