The Orbs

"The Orbs.... one of the Artifacts of the Gods of Anchoria...."

- Unknown

The Orbs are ball shaped artifacts of Mystical Powers, Created by The Gods of Anchoria, They Are Said to, if combined, can merge into the mysterious orb of ultimate power which can give anyone one in possesion of it Control over the Entire Universe, granting them power even beyond that of the gods who made them

though anyone seeking the orbs should be aware as it is said the orbs are cursed by an unseen mystical dark force conjured by the elves to keep the orbs from falling into the wrong hands

and no one knows why the black knight has been spared from the curse as the spell is said to curse anyone trying to steal the orbs or use them for nefarious purposes

how was the black knight spared and allowed to corrupt a stolen orb into the orb of darkness??? and not go mad or insane or not even be cursed by elven magic? is it just pure luck?.....coincidence???....or...something else......

Description
A single Orb is big enough to fill a person's cupped hands.[citation needed] The texture is smooth and jagged. Its colour-washed whilst also rich. Contrast is not enough to describe its nature. Its appearance is an impossibility. The ancient stone relics have an immaculate surface and perfect shape. The Orbs are an artificial paradox captured within stone

An uncovered Orb flares a constant blue fiery light of Pure Energy. To stand next to one is like being in a mad whirlpool of impressions. The 'storm' it forms can be a terrifying ordeal for a novice to experience.

Shattering
If an orb is to be destoyed by someone who is uninitiated in using the Orbs or inexperienced in the mystic arts of magic, the Orb itself will shatter. The shards or pieces of a broken Orb will behave very strangely.[citation needed] They change color, shape and texture, but ever so slightly. Orb shards bleed madness and can be used as instruments of torture in and of themselves.

The shattering of an Orb can be very dangerous and cause irreparable damage. Not only can shards reveal the future, but disrupt the welder's own spirit, splitting it as well. This can bring about various forms of insanity, as the user is usually likely to go completely mad from the revelations they show first.

an Orb's shards is said to be able to re-join and reform back into one complete Orb, but rebuilding one is almost impossible, to those not knowlegebale in the arcane arts
