Elder artefacts

The elder artefacts are long-lost objects, varying in size from about a foot to several miles in size. Created by the Elder Gods to shape worlds and create life, they are immensely powerful and extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. most of them are unknown to anyone except for certain immensely powerful individuals, such as the gods, immortal liches and other long-living creatures. though even they sometimes assume them to be myths.

-The Catalyst was one of the better known artefacts. It was the most powerful, and the very first one created. It expresses the power of its creator; Dir, Elder Goddess of progression. She used it to create most other artefacts, aside from the Elder Kiln, the Measure, and possibly others. While not specifically a weapon, it grants its users part of its immense power.

-The Siphon is the second most used artefact in the history of Traybron (due to it being the second most powerful elder artefact), behind the Catalyst. It amplifies its user's magical capabilities and serves as a conduit for power in general. Used by the Elder Gods to fuse elements cleanly and with precision. It is speculated this artefact can fuse planes together if used correctly.

-The Kiln is both an Elder Artefact and a means of creating artefacts, although the artefacts it creates are considered to be the same artefact as the Kiln. The most well known of these creations are the Ga'aal, who created the mountains of the world, and shaped it to the Elder Gods' commands. The Ga'aal consider themselves to be Elder Artefacts, but it is debatable whether the Elder Gods would agree with this.

-The Blade used by the Elder Gods to separate elements cleanly and with precision, and can be used to cut holes in the fabric of space. This artefact could create portals between worlds, and is the main reason for the races to be able to travel between planes.

-The Locator, shaped like a crown, is an artefact that enables the user to locate all the other artefacts, but also enables the users of these other artefacts to locate the crown in return, making it one of the most useful and risky artefacts to be used. The Elder Gods discarded the crown fairly quickly and never meant to use it again, apparently no longer deeming it necessary to be able to locate their artefacts. The Crown also attracts the attention of the Elder Gods, in case it itself gets lost.

-The Horn was used by the elder gods to communicate with the ga'aal, and with each other. Rumor went that those who drink from the horn attain godhood. This was before it's story was lost to time.

-The Measure is an elder artefact that measures the level of the Anima Mundi of a plane. This artefact is considered the weakest of the known elder artefacts, and is hinted at being created by the previous cycle of Elder Gods.

-The Mirror is capable of duplication objects, up to a certain size. Though it is unknown what that size is exactly, it can also duplicate living creatures.

-The Needle is an artefact that can be used to unravel time itself, creating Threads of Time out of concentrated anima from that reset timeline. These threads can then be woven back into the tapestry of existence, growing fate itself. These rewoven threads can then be used to create more of themselves as the anima of the world is once again increased in this reset timeline. This creates a cycle where the world's anima gradually and purposefully restores and improves itself with each reset. While the Needle can be used to rewind time further than 30 days, doing so causes the user to be permanently bonded to the elder artefact, resulting in physical transformation and a loss of all memories prior to its use. Furthermore, the Needle can also be used to indefinitely pause and restart time by saying the pausing phrase "Wenla".
