Ancients

Ancient gear, the last tier.

Five armour pieces and a standalone weapon, ASSEMBLED rather than found: a worldlord drops the pieces, a primordial drops the material, and you temper and assemble them yourself.

SET THRESHOLDS at two, three and five pieces. Mixing elements is allowed at two and three; matching all five awards the full bonus and a resonance on top. The weapon stands apart with its own Ancient Brand, so you are never forced to carry a blade that does not suit you.

ancients explains what you hold and what is missing.

WHERE THE PIECES COME FROM. The six elemental WORLDLORDS (Volskar the Wyrm King, Gravemetal the Iron Colossus, Ssythrax the Great Sandworm, Nauthilus the Great Kraken, Ymirngar the Frost Giant, Skarrn the Tempest Roc) wake on the calendar and roam the deepest country their element allows; the world is told when one stirs and when one falls, and the Chronicles keep the felling. The eight PRIMORDIALS do not keep a schedule: they manifest when their element's charge fills, nudged by omens (night, storms, holy days). And when all six worldlords fall within one cycle the last seal breaks and GARGANTUA, the Great Behemoth, the Apex, wakes with no schedule at all. Every worldlord sees the hidden and the invisible alike, so there is no creeping up on one.
