Artifacts (Categories Thereof)

One of several recorded ways that ordinary people are able to obtain super powers, artifacts come in a variety of forms and flavors from almost every civilization. Every artifact is unique, and there is currently no known way to create artifacts, at least not on an easily reproduceable level. The following is a list of some of the known artifacts in the world.

The Book of the Dead

 * Among the oldest of known artifacts, the Book of the Dead allows its bearer to control life and death. This artifact has not been seen since the fall of the Pharoahs.

Fire of the Titans

 * A fist-sized ruby discovered in a ruined temple in Greece, the Fire was rediscovered by archeologist Bruce Hornsby. It has since been absorbed into his person, allowing him to grow to incredible heights and endure prodigious damage.

The Flagstaff

 * Once called Washington's Flagstaff, this is the surviving fragment of the staff used to bear the American flag by General George Washington himself. After being rediscovered by Lady Liberty, her heroics and accomplishments in bearing the staff have many people referring to it as Liberty's Flagstaff.
