Legacy Artifacts

Sometimes events occur that seem to bend and defy Fate itself. Things which should be impossible, even by the standards of Gaea, and yet they occur. These go beyond well-made plans and moments of serendipity; they are events of such improbability that those who witnessed them can't help but be left in awe. They are moments when mortal souls transcend mortal limitations, even beyond what Mythic power and Divine Blessings afford through sheer determination and effort alone. Moments like these are the stuff that legends are made of. They leave a mark on the world, on the Gaia and the weave of Fate, and from the words of those who witnessed them, they spread far and wide, gaining faith and power, concentrated in the objects at the heart of these legends; Legacies.

=== Excalibur ===
A legendary Fey weapon said to glow with the light of many torches and slice through steel like warm butter, it is also said to bestow a number of wondrous powers on its wielder... though some claim that most of these actually come from its sheath. It is said that this weapon is sometimes bestowed upon royalty in the Jewels, particularly those of Albion, who are deemed worthy by the Twelve Crowns of Annwn. It is important to note that possessing this sword confers royalty in their eyes, or rather, that only one deserving of royalty may receive it. To be denied the sword is therefore seen as a sign of unworthiness. However, it's said that some have come to earn it in time.
=== Pine Forest ===
Not one, but an entire collection of weapons said to have been made in the First Age by an ancient Druid or Shaman to be wielded by soldiers fighting on behalf of the gods during the Titanomachy, this set of supernatural spears were blessed by a host of deities from many different modern pantheons, and were said to have been created by turning an entire forest of pine and cedar into living weapons; each tree became a spear. While not especially powerful in terms of Legacy weapons originally, many have gone on to acquire new lore and greater power. These spears are much sought after, especially as it's said they can reproduce themselves by planting them and allowing them to grow trees from their bases, which can in turn go to seed and grow young trees with their capabilities. It's said that many of the more unusual forests in the world are the result of these spears being planted just for this purpose, only for their original wielders to never reclaim them.
=== The Silver Key of Ys ===
A mystical silver key currently in possession of the Princess Regnant of Ys, this mystical artifact is capable of opening any door or gate in the city and, rumor holds, anywhere else. It is also capable of dramatically changing size, functioning as a one-handed or two-handed axe. The key is purported to have a range of other powers pertaining to travel, including across planes, and commanding spirits, but it's said that most of these have gone dormant since the Sundering of Thule devastated the city.
=== Nevermore ===
An ominous spear made of bone, strange leather, and black sinew, adorned with dark feathers, and possessing a bird-like skull and beak as its head, Nevermore is rumored to have come from another world entirely... or to be an echo left behind by the original weapon that did. Whatever the case, it appears to be the tool of a God not found on Gaea and possesses some power over the Wild Hunt... and the reaping of souls.
=== Kazikli Bey ===
A spear wielded by a prince in Scholomance who was an especially adept and ruthless Monster hunter many centuries ago, he was especially known for turning the powers of Vampires against them, sapping them of their blood and the power it brought. A dhampir himself, he was one of the chief leaders of the class rebellion that helped the Church of Twelve and One establish itself in Scholomance's political structure and bring a voice and protections to the common man. The spear draws its name for its uncanny ability to fill its surroundings with the impaling shafts of its own echoes, thrusting from every available surface until its foes are slain and imbuing its wielder with their stolen vitality.
