Torch of Cargog

== Overview ==
This everburning torch was used by the ancient archmage, Cargog Calgarin. It’s flames burn with the energies of the first Earthfire of Ardorserii. The torch is currently held in a public museum on the island of Coven. Throughout history the Torch of Cargog has been lent out to extraordinary magic users to combat great threats.
== History ==
When Cargog Calgarin began his assault on the southern Seadale Earthfire he was nearly successful in pushing away the milserii tribes that had come to settle the lands, until they sacrificed their greatest warriors to the Earthfire to summon forth a demi-god known as Phianthros. Cargog and all of his accompanying mages were nearly destroyed., The Elder Council of Serii's Dawn sent aid in the form of a messenger baring a torch crafted and lit in the fires of the northern Seadale Earthfire. With the powerful magical battery in hand, Cargog was able to battle the demi-god and purge it's physical form from Ilderon.
Throughout the Waking Era, the torch was held as an a treasure in Emiran, the early lands that would later come to be known as Alilnegi. The torch was gifted out several times to Archmages of note in times of crisis. The City of Reldien that housed the torch was sacked by Lidora, the first Sky Queen, during the Second Shattering while she was questing to unite Alilnegi into a single nation. However, before the Sky Queen could claim the treasure she sought, the Torch was stolen.
The torch was lost from the records of history for majority of the Ascended Era until it was found in 759 AE, and gifted to the reclusive savants of Galena Mave on the island of Coven. There the torch has resided in a public museum inside the Silver Conclave for nearly 250 years.
