Dwarven Sphere Artifact



The dwarven artifact was found under the mudflats in AR 4715 AR, 28th of Erastus, under mudflats near lake Silverstep in the River Kingdom of Soveria.

The artifact is a black sphere with bands surrounding it, that rotate. In its operational state they rotate more quickly, in its restful state they more slowly. The sphere is about 10 feet in diameter and floats over a stone base 10 by 10 feet square. Dwarven ruins are etched into the base and the bands, detailing its use.

The artifact's function is largely theoretical, as it was found in a functioning state, however it is speculated it could be used to open gates to the elemental planes, as well as pull things from them into the material plane. Furthermore, it was suggested by Arngrim, a wizard who examined it, that it could also open portals to the minor elemental planes as well.

It currently resides in Silverstep Castle, property of the Royal family. It is under the castle, in a vault, where many dangerous items are collected and stored.
