June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: Optio Herois

Item type: Artifact

The golden key is another powerful, potentially dangerous key.  It is said that many a tragic figure was amongst the ill-fated bearers of this key, a key of heroes.  Scholars have not been able to document any confirmed bearer, rumored or otherwise, that lived to see grandchildren. Even as it is a key of heroes, it also seems to be some kind of key of Tragedy.  It seems that this key may possibly be able to grant the bearer the ability to do great, even impossible things, but it seems as with all things there is a price exacted—the scales, after all, must balance in the end.

June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: The Engineer’s Key

Item Type: Artifact

This light gray key almost looks like steel, though it’s far lighter.  It is a key of skills, seeming to unlock the talents of those already gifted in the mechanical arts. Stories have the few suspected bearers of this key building the first steam engines and designing great structures that have stood against the very worst storms and disasters large and small. It is an artifact of great power and responsibility, for once the technological genie is out of the bottle, how does one control it?
