The Crystal of Animosity

The Crystal of Animosity was a large chunk of raw Eternium controlled by the Lyndale family. With the Parker's secession they also stole half of the crystal, eventually using it to construct the black artifact. The crippled Lyndales in turn split the remains in two again, offering half the power to the Temple family in the west, forming a short alliance as the Lyndales recovered from the east's devastating withdrawal. The crystal now sits in four parts:

Grimwar (The Black Artifact)

Vayu (The Green Artifact)

The Silver Artifact

Some yet unrefined Eternium used by the Temple family as a power source
