The Tower Card: Found on a skeletal corpse by the late Ranger Aurora Borealis (slain by the same Tech-User trolls who eliminated Eno's beloved) in the spring of 1997 (real time), this is said to be an extremely powerful artifact from Princess Mika of Talamar's Tarot of Truth. It is labeled 'The Tower' and depicts such a structure with it's top bursting into a fiery explosion after being struck from above. This and the fact that humynoid figures are jumping out of the spyre to almost certain death below make it practically identical to the Tarot Card in the Major Arcana known as 'The Tower' on Earth. On Earth the Tower card is said to be symbolic of an empire that has defied the Deity(ies) in its desire for persynal power and which is now receiving divine retribution. However, its significance in the world of Serpents & Sorcery as well as its power and how to unlock it remain unknown.
The Dream Crystal: This extremely powerful artifact is in the possession of the Paladin Logan, for it could be very dangerous in the wrong hands (including those of some of the party members). There were originally at least two such crystals, yet one was spent giving The White Wolf the legendary power he now possesses (he was Level 1 when he used the Crystal, and he was Level 10 immediately after). It is said that the Dream Crystal can fulfill a single dream of the one who uses it, no matter how extravagant the dream may be (it is in this way more akin to the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past than to the Wish spell from traditional Advanced Dungeons & Dragons). If properly used, can the Crystal save a world? Perhaps....
