The first sighting of the Unknown Artifact.

The Unknown Artifact is a mysterious spherical object acquired by The Young Wolf when they delved into the depths of the Pyramid buried beneath the Scarlet Keep.[1] After receiving a brief vision from the Witness, the artifact was then given to Eris Morn by the Young Wolf for study, after which they both began to receive mysterious messages directly from the Witness itself, using a creation parable narrated by an unknown entity in an attempt to sway them of its ideology.

A similar or identical artifact was described in the memoirs of the Eliksni Irrha, apprentice to the Slayer Baron Kiiraskes.[2]

Trivia[edit]

  • The artifact's spherical shape is unusual, considering its association with the Black Fleet and the Darkness, likely hinting towards the history of the Witness's, or more specifically its Precursors, and their association with the Traveler.
