Heart of Eternity

The Heart of Eternity is an enigmatic artifact that is thought to be tied to the Big Bang and the creation of the Universe. This artifact has been split into numerous shards, scattered across the cosmos. It is said that whoever unites the shards to reform the Heart will gain the power of omniscience and creation.

A piece of the Shard of Eternity made its way to Earth during the dawn of human civilization. It was heavily involved in the religious iconography of the city of Apox, thought by scientists to be the first Empire on Earth. According to legend, the shard manifested itself as a man named Sin. Sin led legions against the other human settlements, but eventually vanished from existence and record, only mentioned in cuneiform texts at Apox. Scholars such as Ian Alexander have attempted tracking down the Shard's current whereabouts. The Apox archaeological site was first discovered by an expedition funded by Elias Crane, leading Alexander to believe that Crane knows something about it.
