The Oldshards

The Apex and The Vertex

At the start of The Awakening, the Changelings of The Glassius Reach found themselves in the possession of two strange relics called The Oldshards. No one knew the nature of these objects, but the Changelings bore a sort of recognition towards them, despite loosing all of their memories during The Undoing.

The Oldshards became central to their societies and religions. They built their two cities around the entities: Corinth and Yorn et Gaul.

The objects were capable of immense feats such as:

• Lending magical power to its followers
• Rebirth of those who worshipped it
  • Those reborn would regain old memories at the midway point in their lives
• Giving strange visions to its followers
  • Some think these are cryptic dreams, while others believe it visions from the past lives of souls who have gone through it
• Dispensing information to its followers
• Any child born in proximity to it emerges as a full blooded changeling, regardless of racial parentage.

To The Glassius Reach, they are very sacred objects. To the other kingdoms they are seen as objects of evil, alien nature.

The Oldshards are:

• The Apex - Once of Yorn et Gaul, now either lost or destroyed. An artifact known to poses influence over matter and energy, along side its other properties as one of The Oldshards
  • Symbolized as a tall, narrow trapezoid, with the wider side on top
• The Vertex - of Corinth An artifact know to poses influence over possibility, fate and may even be able to influence time itself, along side its other properties as one of The Oldshards
  • Symbolized as a tall, narrow pentagon

Some think these objects are from The Before, while others believe they are not even from Zol at all, possibly something even older than Zol itself.

The Pattern, is an ideal held highly within the culture of Changelings. It is based on behaviors Changeling scholars believe appease The Oldshards.
