Key of Vaka

"What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" - Unknown

Created by Vaka, God of Wild Magic on the eve of her death and given to Karnatis Seradz, The Oracle of Time, this key contains the very essence of Vaka herself. During the Sundering, Karnatis was protected by the Key as he was thrown from the blast; half of him separated and became the god Tyr, the other half sent forward in time almost two thousand years. Awakening in the future, The Oracle of Time embarked on a journey to reclaim his lost memories, as well as his missing power. Upon travelling to the realm of time, Mechanicus, he reunited with his other half, awakening himself and the Key, and being reborn as Karnatis Seradz, God of Time. One of the legendary Artifacts of Vaka.
