Shard of Death (Relic)

An artifact of great necromantic powers, it was used against an incarnation of Sol, who claimed it.
== Appearance ==
The Shard of Death resembles a green crystal. Both sides are tipped with Dark Iron, and the glass cylinder it is in is etched with runes scratched into the glass.
== Nature and Powers ==
The container that the crystal is in, is actually just a control mechanism. The true artifact is the crystal inside, and any magical energy focused through it, gains a necromantic touch. This energy causes the living to decay and raises the dead as pawns of the caster, though in truth whoever holds control of the artifact. Even immortal beings may be affected by this power. However, as should be obvious, amortal beings (who never qualified as being dependent on a life force) are immune to such sorcery.
Also the powers of the Divine, and holy do not react well with the crystal. The casing is both a means of controlling the dangerous energies and keeping out such powers.
== History ==
The devise was crafted by a Dusk Elf, for use against the Sand Elves. The Sand Elves called on Sol, who in a strange moment of charity, Sol protected the Sand Elves and obliterated the Dusk Elf army. The Prince claimed the relic as his trophy and locked it up in one of his vaults.
