This key is made of a vibrant Imperial purple gemstone in a simple, almost delicate design. It is unadorned except for the wheel-shaped ring at the end of the key. Libraes is said to be the key of balance, of centering, and of wise counsel. Legends say that when the counsel of past carriers of this key was not heeded, the end result was disastrous.
The Key of Hope is a bright white moonstone key with an opalescent effect to it. This key is most mysterious; those who have studied it have been wholly unable to divine its powers while it has been in their possession–though admittedly, scholars have rarely been able to study it. It is in fact held in trust for the scion of a particular line and is safely secured at Santrellis for the time being. The Key of Hope, like the Gatekeeper’s Key, has been passed down within a particular family line, though this passage can be traced for twice as long at least as the inheritance of the Gatekeeper’s Key.
