Vestiges of Divergence

The **Vestiges of Divergence** are ancient and powerful artifacts from the Calamity.  These items have since been scattered around the world—lost to the history books, passed down as symbols of power through various bloodlines or government positions, or stolen and un-recovered for hundreds of years.  Some Vestiges have been destroyed over this epoch, others lie scattered across the Planes of Existence, and some are sealed or hidden.

The Vestiges are legendary artifacts that grow in power with the experience, force of will, and strength of character of the bearer. Many Vestiges, if sealed away or left without a worthy attuned individual for a period of time, will revert to their *dormant state*. A *dormant state* still imbues a modicum of power to the attuned, but with time, perseverance, and personal growth, the Vestige can regain access to some of its lost ability in its *awakened state*. Eventually, through extreme personal challenge, evolution, and achievement, the Vestige can reach its full potential in its *exalted state*. This is the true power of the Vestige, the state when it was originally utilized in the Calamity against battle-ready gods.

While the Vestiges where often created by the Prime Gods, there are counterparts to them, which are called Arms of the Betrayers.
