To prevent any permanent eras of peace, Orono used the darkest of his knowledge to create the 'Royal Artifacts'. While they appeared to be a crown, scepter and ring befitting a king or queen, they would in fact lead to the ruin of whoever possessed them.
1. The Tyrant's Crown- An iron crown with fiery red jewels, it could attack the wearer's view of reality, making enemies be seen everywhere, even amongst their closest friends and family.
2. The Primal Ring- A silver ring with an acid green stone endowed with the power to find the secrets of its wearer, it could discover their darkest emotions and amplify them one thousandfold, be they rage, pride or otherwise.
3. The Scepter of Conquest- The golden, sapphire laden scepter would leave the owner with a burning desire to gain more wealth or power and no amount of captured or destroyed worlds could slake it.
With their creation Orono and the rest of his House devised a plan: every four thousand years, these artifacts would be given to a powerful ruler. This would create a near infinite amount of souls to consume if repeated in the future...
