The '''Protean Relics''' are a collection of very ancient and powerful items | The '''Protean Relics''' are a collection of very ancient and powerful items forged by [[Proteus]] during the days of the [[Chaos Wars]]. He reportedly placed them in a reliquary, to be guarded by [[Kaphlos]], the son of the [[Aldar]] [[Dekalb]]. This reliquary was later sealed away, its chambers lost to all knowledge. | ||
The rapid burrowing of the enormous [[Dala'myrr]] during the rise of [[Bal'met]] caused tears in the ether that were discovered first by [[Maklak]] during the Reckoning of the Conclave, and then by [[Yudhishthira]] as he was searching for the source of Maklak's power. | The rapid burrowing of the enormous [[Dala'myrr]] during the rise of [[Bal'met]] caused tears in the ether that were discovered first by [[Maklak]] during the Reckoning of the Conclave, and then by [[Yudhishthira]] as he was searching for the source of Maklak's power. | ||
These ether tears were then discovered by [[adventurers]] initially working under the direction of Yudhishthira in the mid-seventh century, and then by the world at large. Located in unstable Digsites, adventurers tunneled through them, enduring occasional deadly collapses, and found their way to individual Chambers in the Reliquary that held the relics. | These ether tears were then discovered by [[adventurers]] initially working under the direction of Yudhishthira in the mid-seventh century, and then by the world at large. Located in unstable Digsites, adventurers tunneled through them, enduring occasional deadly collapses, and found their way to individual Chambers in the Reliquary that held the relics. [[Adventurers]] gathered them up now and then to make limited use of their deadly capabilities but ever they remained curiosities, never able to be kept or in one place for very long. | ||

Fluctuations of memory brought adventurers to Falaq'tor, where different stories brought to prompted [[Pryla'ari]] to reason that someone or something was tampering with Time, robbing timestream of Proteus' tools one by one. | |||
Bedecked in the Protean relics, the [[Pazuzu|Prince of the Inferno]] suddenly reappeared in 922 to plunged towards [[Achaea]] in fury. With the [[Yggdrasil's Seed]] and the [[Eye of Discord]] in his claws he reduced the unguarded [[Garden of the Gods]] to rubble. With the might of [[Earthshaker]] he shattered the eonic Tomaculan statue to free the Elder God [[Khalas]] from His imprisonment. | |||
Battle raged across [[Creation]] at the behest of the self-proclaimed New God, the zenith of war brought the pantheon to Black Pazuzu's stronghold on [[Memory]]. After Pazuzu was slain, a remnant of the relics were locked away by [[Prospero]] save two: the [[Golden Chain]] and the [[Diadem of Ugrach]] were entrusted to Slith in exchange for his cooperation in the felling of the Demon Prince. | |||
