![]() While the Vestiges were often created by the Prime Deities, there are darker counterparts to them created by the Betrayer Gods called the Arms of the Betrayers. Many other Vestiges have been claimed by other individuals, and others still have been lost to the ages. The Mighty Nein have also recovered one, Star Razor. Over the course of their adventures, the adventuring party Vox Machina found and retrieved eight of these powerful items throughout Exandria and the various Planes of Existence bordering the Prime Material Plane. This is the true power of the Vestige, the state in which it was originally utilized in the Calamity against battle-ready gods. Eventually, through extreme personal challenge, evolution, and achievement, the Vestige can reach its full potential in its exalted state. A vestige in its dormant state still imbues power to the attuned, but with time, perseverance, and personal growth, the Vestige can regain access to some of its lost abilities by reaching its awakened state. Many Vestiges, if sealed away or left without a worthy attuned individual for a period of time, will revert to their dormant state. The Vestiges are legendary artifacts that grow in power with the experience, force of will, and strength of character of the bearer. According to Kamaljiori, the androsphinx mate of Osysa, some Vestiges have been destroyed over this epoch, while others lie scattered across the Planes of Existence, and some are sealed or hidden. Since the Calamity, these items have been scattered around the world-lost to the history books, passed down as symbols of power through various bloodlines or government positions, or stolen and unrecovered for hundreds of years. During the Age of Arcanum, siphons were placed at nexuses of ley lines across Exandria to gather raw energy for the crafting of powerful artifacts, including Vestiges. The Vestiges of Divergence are ancient and powerful artifacts from the Calamity. These mighty echoes of the last great war, and the divine banishment that followed, are known as the Vestiges of Divergence. Some were locked away, the fear of their power giving temples reason to keep them from mortal hands, while a handful still see use to this day by great warriors or proven killers. Others were passed down through bloodlines for generations, a sign of respect and importance within their culture. When the battle climaxed in a wave of aberrant destruction, leaving much of civilization in ruins, many of these artifacts were buried among the ashes with their wielders. Relics of the Age of Arcanum were further enhanced, creating unheard-of magical capabilities. Powerful archmages harnessed the surging arcane powers of the war to forge incredible objects of potent strength and ability, further arming every side of the conflict. Broken remnants of history speak of battles between gods leveling mountains and sinking islands.Ĭhosen heroes rose up to accept the artifacts of their patrons to combat the tide of death their adversaries harnessed. ![]() During the wars of the Calamity, great destruction rained across the many lands of the world.
