The Cuff of Captain Artemis
The lost cuff of the Captain Artemis, a relic not seen for about two and a half centuries, was a powerful artifact of creation and control. Captain Artemis was the previous king of Eros and stories say that the cuff had the power to change the world and all aspects of it to the whims of the one who wore it. The band itself is an unassuming metal bangle that held 6 different colored thinly carved jewels along the outside of the cuff. Once the Captain Artemis died, the cuff seemed to be lost to time as the incumbent ruler, the Godhand Ot Yrmgrad was never seen with or seen using the cuff.
The legends say the wearer of the cuff would be able to fine-tune the weather and the lands of Eros perfectly to their whims. There were servants of light that the captain was able to summon to help with various tasks around the world, maintaining a good grasp of the day to day goings-on of the people. With this band missing for roughly 250 years, the world of Eros has fallen in a sense of disarray, but it is not fully known if the band being lost to time somehow actively correlates to the time-locked status of Eros.
Some theories say that the band was destroyed by a secret cabal of monsters that wished to see the world burn, some believe the band was locked away in a vault to protect the users from the corrupting force channeled through the band. Somehow no one living knows of the whereabouts of the band, and if they do know, it is of the most well-kept secrets of the entire world. If the cuff were to come back and be welded by a dangerous person with evil intentions, then the structure and fate of the world would be completely thrown off balance.
