Orb of Power

The Orb of Power is a purple, four-inch diameter stone first introduced in Episode 22 - Please Stay on the Line. It is currently in the possession of Ferimel.

## History

In Episode 3 - Power and Progress, the students encountered a room in the Sunken Hatch containing a throne and two almost identical looking crowns. Upon closer inspection, Mira Marchand realized that one crown was a fake, placing the real crown on her head. After doing so, she was assaulted with an intense pain in her left arm, fading into a spiral tattoo.

After the crown disappeared and did not produce an orb, Integrity Idleberry sat down on the throne and placed the false crown on her head. Several spikes shot at Integrity's arms, which she quickly dodged. After placing the fake crown on her head, the plinth depressed, revealing a note reading, "Power is an illusion. -Rime".

In Episode 10 - The Latecomer, Integrity received a dream, in which she was told by the mysterious Progenitor that "the freezing one" possessed the Orb of Power.

In Episode 11 - Meet the Mentors, Integrity informed her friends of the dream. Later, the students asked potential mentor Artis Artisian if he was aware of Rime's identity; he claimed to be unaware of their identity, but warned the students to be cautious.

In Episode 20 - It's A Revolution, I Suppose, Winsler Wallaby and Mira Marchand liberated prisoner Ferimel from his cell in the detention layer of Patter. Ferimel informed them that he was looking for his staff, a gnarled red stick with a purple orb inside of it. After shaking hands with Ferimel and being met with a freezing hand, Mira realized that he was Rime and the owner of the Orb of Power.

In Episode 22 - Please Stay on the Line, after reuniting, the group decided to steal Ferimel's staff out of distrust for him. Although Ferimel was right in front of them during this planning, the students communicated via Message. Later that episode, the students discovered the cubbies where all the prisoners' confiscated items were located; among these items was the aforementioned staff containing the Orb of Power. Before they could act, Ferimel picked up his staff and continued along with the students.

In Episode 23 - What's The Plan Again?, Integrity pretended to stay behind and not continue along with her friends. She then drank a Potion of Invisibility and snuck up behind Ferimel, stealing his staff and running. After touching his staff, she suddenly felt a mind-splitting headache come on, likely from owning three orbs at a time. She rejoined her friends and gave the staff to Serinepth Sinderman, who hid it in her cloak.

In Episode 24 - Closet Elves, Ferimel met with the students outside the Spud-Sack Tavern, claiming that he was aware they had taken his staff, and he would heal the dying Artis Artisian if they returned it to him. After several minutes of deliberation, Serinepth returned the staff containing the Orb of Power to Ferimel. He quickly wrapped rope around his hand that held the staff, ensuring that it could not be stolen again.

In Episode 39 - Get That Bread, Ferimel was depicted in a vision created by The Progenitor. He was no longer in Patter, instead conducting experiments freezing and reviving plants in a workshop cave. It is presumed that Ferimel is still in possession of his staff and the orb.

The Orb of Power is currently with Ferimel in his cave, embedded in his staff.
