The Pieces

In the time right after the Burning of Souls, the entire continent of Lislow was in pandemonium. Between the raging Talthorians descending from the north in search of vengeance, the animals and beasts of the land mutating into fearsome creatures and predators, the plantlife and fauna growing somewhat sentient and violent, and the Lislanders themselves fighting each other and everything else with anything they had, the power-scales were swinging so wildly that Dlisn Mount-Carver feared it'd be too long before normality was restored.

Having already been experimenting lightly with the broken pieces of The Shard he had taken from New Talthoria during the Sacking of the North, Dlisn delved into crafting Magical Artifacts of wonderous and magnificent capabilities. Through the centuries he crafted, and perfected several different ones that did a variety of unexplainable things by even modern standards. While they is no perfect count to how many he originally made, or how many remain, assumedly most of them were quite legendary as he gifted them to several Heroes and Adventurers across Lislow who were fighting for the common and greater good, and many were stolen and lost/re-found over the decades passing by. They also became the base inspiration for many other artifacts and technologies over the years as many have tried with little to no success to replicate his unknown manufactory process or come close to the results he has.

Dlisn has kept how he made them a secret his entire life, and as far as anyone known never revealed to anyone even the most basic steps happy to let the ability die with him, as he fears what'll happen if items with some abilities become common enough to fall into the wrong hands.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The exact workings of any of them are unknown as even through intense study on some, their creation simply doesn't make sense even with modern standards, and Dlisn has never given any details on their make. Clearly they all have some wildly high conductive and energy sotrage capability, but most seem to be made out of or into rather simple items. Even the way most of them shift and change form doesn't quite make sense with how any other SoulBurning ability works. They seem to have no limits for seemingly to be of simple and uncomplex make.

History

Each one of the Pieces has changed and directed the flow of history whether directly or not. Most of their users were either prominent people, or those pulling the strings. Their creator is seen as a demigod, as were several of those he gifted them too. They can invoke great fear, hope or excitement at the smallest mention or sight of anyone of them.

Significance

While it varies on each, most are significant to their respective nations or individuals that they were gifted to. Some have become national icons while others have faded into being legend and myth other the years, and the amount of copy-cats and those claiming to have one is endless.
Item type
Unique Artifact
Rarity
The Pieces themselves are each, individually one of a kind. Even when attempting to make a copy, Dlisn himself has been unable to repeat the process enough to achieve exact results.
Weight
Varies on the Piece, but only Scales, Burst, and Obsidian are particularly heavy (25kg+)
Dimensions
Depends on the Piece and what form it is in, as they can range from a couple of centimeters to a couple meters or even more.
Base Price
Each one, whether completed or not, is priceless and many many men, women and children have been killed over the possibility of getting one.
