Standing inside of it was a young lad holding a rather odd staff, who calls himself &#8220;Caduceus&#8221;. He informed me that he had been waiting for me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theosophy of the Artifacts (The Treasure Vault)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Artifact Moralltach<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: Proud of his terrifying ability to cut and slice everything before him in twain, he serves as our &#8216;attacker&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Artifact Beagalltach<\/strong><br \/>\nHe and &#8220;Moralltach&#8221; form a pair. He possesses a mighty sword, as well, that can bring down any foe with a flick of that blade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Artifact Failnaught<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: No matter where we are, this fellow is capable of always hitting their target. in fact, Failnaught&#8217;s arrow has never missed, not even once<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n&#8211; Artifact Aegis<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: She uses her gigantic body and her ability to create a special forcefield to protect us from disaster and any who would dare do us harm.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n&#8211; Artifact Achilles<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: He&#8217;s the cornerstone of our defense. No attack on earth can possibly harm him, and as a result, any foe who dares fight us has quite a hard time getting through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Artifact Labrys<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: Contrary to her fearsome appearance, she&#8217;s quite tender-hearted, but hates any who would do us harm. But she especially doesn&#8217;t forgive those who harm Aegis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Artifact Caduceus<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: Myself. I retain the knowledge of all that exists. It is my greatest joy to impart knowledge to others. I don&#8217;t mind what you ask me.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>PAGE 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n[X Month, X Day]<br \/>\nVarious Things Have Become Clear From Talking With Caduceus<br \/>\nThey call themselves the &#8220;Artifacts&#8221;. They appear when these odd, complex mechanical timepieces are inserted into the relics. I will attempt to describe what Caduceus told me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&gt;Weapon-wielding Spiritual Body<br \/>\nCaduceus In the past, these bodies were created, primarily using the memories of those who wielded us most skillfully. They have no name.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&gt; The Legendary Weapon<br \/>\nCaduceus: This is what could be called &#8220;ourselves,&#8221; I suppose. We have been given the names of weapons wielded by the heroes of times gone by.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&gt; The Weapon&#8217;s Power Source?<br \/>\nCaduceus: This is the &#8220;*#$%&amp;.&#8221; In the language of humans, the word &#8220;crucible&#8221; describes it best.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n[X Month, X Day]<br \/>\nThe Key To Their Power Might Be &#8220;Memories&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nA few days have passed. Although they&#8217;ve been quite friendly to me, from time to time, they act as if they&#8217;re trying to remember something. Could memories be the key to their power?<br \/>\n<strong>Artifact Movement<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: Hm. The condition of the &#8220;crucibles&#8221; doesn&#8217;t seem too good. We&#8217;re going to require some fresh &#8220;*#S&#8221; soon&#8230; perhaps?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#&gt; Legend of the &#8220;Memory-Severing Sword&#8221;<br \/>\nApparently there is another relic in this treasure vault, known as &#8220;The Memory-Severing Sword&#8221;. When I asked &#8220;Caducues&#8221; if he knew where it was, he just shook his head.<\/p>\n<p><em>Artifact Moralltach \/ Artifact Beagalltach<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s a sword, perhaps it&#8217;s related to &#8220;Moralltach&#8221; and &#8220;Begalltach&#8221;&#8230;?<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n[X Month, X Day]<br \/>\nThe Hidden Power of the Artifacts<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nFor several days, I questioned Caduceus about the existence of another relic. One day, instead of answering my question, he pulled the two swords out.<br \/>\n#&gt; The Relics Can Transform and Combine!<br \/>\nThe two relics split apart instantly! And then, they combined into one!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artifacts Unleashed<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: I can&#8217;t grant you the knowledge you desire, but that doesn&#8217;t meant I can&#8217;t tell you this. Let me show you another ability we have. The Artifacts are capable of functioning on their own, but they&#8217;re also capable of combining the power of multiple units.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artifact Durandal<\/strong><br \/>\nCaduceus: This is the &#8220;Memory-Severing Sword&#8221; that you seek, its name is &#8220;Durandal&#8221;. However, regretfully, our discussions must come to an end. It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been able to impart knowledge to a human, and it was quite the pleasure. Though you&#8217;ll forget about us, we will never forget you. As proof, this memory will&#8230; &#8230; &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you want to know the back-story of one of the latest Decks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,27],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4634","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-articles","7":"category-lore"},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4634\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
