Dragon's Legacy

The **Dragon's Legacy**, also known as the **Ancestral Orb**,was an immensely powerful temporal artifact, capable of incredible and dangerous feats previously unheard of in the world of Esria.
During the Blessed Era, and especially during the Asevian Invasion of 1416 B.E, the orb was the object of immense desire for many different parties.

At first glance, it appeared as a dull, dark blue orb made of glass, but longer inspection could reveal a deep magical mist held within. Additionally, although it was one of the most powerful sources of magic ever to be created by mortal hands, the orb itself had no magical signature when sitting dormant. It was wrapped inside of an impenetrable anti-magic field, capable of deleting both aether and mana as it came into contact with it.

It was destroyed by Cyril Faulkner in 1418 B.E, after a violent confrontation with the former adventurer Seirya Erys convinced him that the artifact was simply too dangerous to allow in Esria.

## Information

### History

The Dragon's Legacy was created by the argent dragon Aelynvir, working underneath the Asevian Emperor Veryon Artaryan to forge an artifact powerful enough to bring peace to the world forever, and to save the Asevian people from the tyranny of the baleful dragons that had burned the land black centuries ago. Before its completion, however, his twisted daughter Escha Artaryan would put an end to his life and seize the throne for herself.

When the new Empress came to take the orb by force, knowing all too well that Aelynvir would never entrust her legacy to such a black hearted tyrant, the argent dragon sent the incomplete orb into the future with as much of her soul as she could find the time to give. It would travel sixteen years, and by the will of her consciousness find her half-dragon son Theobold Cagus in El Deya during 1416 B.E.

### Abilities

The orb exhibited highly unusual powers, the potency of which had never been created by mortal means.

Its primary ability was to take control of time, manipulating and bending all temporal matters to its will. Those holding the orb could invoke its power to stop time completely, freezing the world in place while still remaining free to act. It could also freely move a user or a number of users to another point in time altogether, moving far into the future or sending itself far into the past. Utilising this power, an individual could either glimpse any point in history as a vision, or be physically displaced to actually appear in the world at a given time.

As a secondary effect of its immense power and imperfection, the orb could bestow highly unique special abilities to those that came in contact with it. The first to experience these unusual augmentations was a group of five adventurers in 1416 B.E. These same individuals would go on to turn the tides against the Asevian Invasion during the Battle of the Aldmarch Plains.

In their hands, the orb began to act seemingly on its own whims, though this was a product both of the damage it had sustained across multiple battles and the fact that it had never truly been completed before Aelynvir's demise. It would often activate without warning, although it was always able to be controlled by those with either a connection to the orb or significant magical potential.
