Eyes of Rubicon

The Eyes of Rubicon are ancient relics found in Rubicon that have deep connections forged between one of the outer planes. It is unclear how exactly the Right Eye came to be, but many claim that Elohim themself, Heaven's central deity, conjured it into existence using native Rubiconian power. The same is true for the Left Eye; many claim that Lucifer, Hell's central deity, employed the same strategy as Elohim. The full truth behind their creation is unknown, but it is rumored that the greater deities of each outer plane, created the Eyes individually using something native to Rubicon.
Few have laid eyes on an Eye of Rubicon, and even fewer understand their true nature. It is known that the eyes have the ability to seek out those who are worthy, and therefore are unable to be kept under constant watch or guard by any one group. Because of this, witches and sages, those tasked with protecting the eyes, must routinely seek out those that are worthy to keep track of the relics and ensure their safety.
Several legends and myths surround the potential behind the Eyes of Rubicon. Some say they allow their wielders to summon powerful creatures from across the planes, some say they grant their wielders secret or esoteric knowledge from the greater deities themselves. There are rumors of what were to happen if both eyes were wielded by one person; a hopeful few believe it may be the key to bringing about the creation of a new deity, one to rule over Rubicon itself. Some believe this power will only bring destruction, and warn that this very feat is what brought about mortality in the first place. None of these stories have any serious backing, but they are widespread rumors nonetheless.

Player Information

The rest of this page is NOT well known in-universe knowledge. Do not use it for in-character roleplay interactions unless your characters themselves have personal knowledge in their backstories or have learned this in-game. This is purely to help yall as players better understand what the Eyes are in order to make characters using these concepts. I won't give complete spoilers for what the eyes are or how they were created, but here's some more information to make characters with without ruining the fun of deeper mysteries or lore secrets about their conception or full power.
The eyes are not "artifacts". They are people who inheret the Right Eye or the Left Eye of Rubicon. Similarly to Avatar the Last Airbender, each Eye is reborn the moment their current incarnation dies. Each person who inherets an Eye also gains powers from its previous holders. How these are expressed changes based on the user.
I also won't tell you exactly how Elohim or Lucifer are connected to the Eyes themselves, but I will at least let you know they are connected directly to the deities of the outer planes.
Each eye must be reborn on Rubicon, so an immportal resident of Heaven or Hell cannot inherit an Eye. They can, however, move between the planes with no issue. If an Eye was born in Rubicon, they can move to Heaven and live out the rest of their mortal life without a problem. This is unusual, but it can happen.
When an Eye dies and it gets reborn somewhere in Rubicon, their respective groups will hunt down the new incarnation to protect them. They each have methods to determine if an individual is inhabited by an Eye.
