Vestiges of Divergence

During the wars of the Calamity, great destruction rained across the many lands of the world. Broken remnants of history speak of battles between gods leveling mountains and sinking islands.

Chosen heroes rose up to accept the artifacts of their patrons to combat the tide of death their adversaries harnessed. Powerful archmages harnessed the surging arcane powers of the war to forge incredible objects of potent strength and ability, further arming every side of the conflict. Relics of the Age of Arcanum were further enhanced, creating unheard-of magical capabilities.

When the battle climaxed in a wave of aberrant destruction, leaving much of civilization in ruins, many of these artifacts were buried among the ashes with their wielders. Others were passed down through bloodlines for generations, a sign of respect and importance within their culture. Some were locked away, the fear of their power giving temples reason to keep them from mortal hands, while a handful still see use to this day by great warriors or proven killers.

These mighty echoes of the last great war, and the divine banishment that followed, are known as the Vestiges of Divergence.

The Vestiges of Divergence are ancient and powerful artifacts from the Calamity. During the Age of Arcanum, siphons were placed at nexuses of ley lines across Exandria to gather raw energy for the crafting of powerful artifacts, including Vestiges. [2] Since the Calamity, these items have been scattered around the world—lost to the history books, passed down as symbols of power through various bloodlines or government positions, or stolen and unrecovered for hundreds of years. [3] According to Kamaljiori, the androsphinx mate of Osysa, some Vestiges have been destroyed over this epoch, while others lie scattered across the Planes of Existence, and some are sealed or hidden. [4]

The Vestiges are legendary artifacts that grow in power with the experience, force of will, and strength of character of the bearer. Many Vestiges, if sealed away or left without a worthy attuned individual for a period of time, will revert to their dormant state. A vestige in its dormant state still imbues power to the attuned, but with time, perseverance, and personal growth, the Vestige can regain access to some of its lost abilities by reaching its awakened state. Eventually, through extreme personal challenge, evolution, and achievement, the Vestige can reach its full potential in its exalted state. This is the true power of the Vestige, the state in which it was originally utilized in the Calamity against battle-ready gods. [1]

Over the course of their adventures, the adventuring party Vox Machina found and retrieved eight of these powerful items throughout Exandria and the various Planes of Existence bordering the Prime Material Plane. The Mighty Nein have also recovered one, Star Razor. Many other Vestiges have been claimed by other individuals, and others still have been lost to the ages.

While the Vestiges were often created by the Prime Deities, there are darker counterparts to them created by the Betrayer Gods called the Arms of the Betrayers. [5]

Magic armor can provide additional protection or even grant special abilities like resistance to certain types of damage. Potions and scrolls are consumable items that provide temporary bonuses or allow players to cast powerful spells. These items can be used strategically during battles or to overcome challenges that require specialized abilities.

  One of the key features of Dndbeyond magic items is their rarity. Magic items can range from common to legendary, with each rarity level corresponding to the item's power and impact on gameplay. Legendary items, for instance, are incredibly rare and possess game-changing abilities that can drastically alter the course of a campaign. In addition to the inherent powers of magic items, Dndbeyond provides a system for characters to attune to these items. Attunement allows characters to fully harness the powers of the item and gain access to its various abilities. However, characters are limited in the number of magic items they can attune to, adding an element of strategy and choice to the game. Dndbeyond also offers a vast selection of pre-made magic items that players can choose from, as well as the ability for Dungeon Masters to create their own custom magic items. This allows for endless possibilities and customization within the game, ensuring a unique and personalized experience for every player. Overall, Dndbeyond magic items are an exciting and integral part of the game, offering players a wide range of abilities and strategies to explore. Whether it's a powerful weapon, a protective suit of armor, or a magical trinket, these items can greatly enhance a character's abilities and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the game..

  Reviews for "The Magic of Balance: The Pros and Cons of Dndbeyond Magic Items"

  - John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Dndbeyond magic items. The selection was limited and not very exciting. I was expecting a vast array of unique and interesting magical items, but instead, I found mostly mundane and generic ones. The descriptions were also quite lacking, providing little information about the item's history or lore. Overall, I didn't feel like Dndbeyond magic items added much value to my game and I ended up seeking more interesting options from other sources.

  - Emily - 1 star - I found Dndbeyond magic items to be a waste of money. The pricing for individual items was exorbitant, and it felt like a money grab. The subscription option didn't offer enough value either. The quality of the magical items themselves was underwhelming, with most of them being very basic and uninspiring. I regret spending money on Dndbeyond magic items and would not recommend it to others.

  - Sarah - 2 stars - The organization and search system of Dndbeyond magic items was a total mess. It was frustrating to navigate through the website and find specific items. The filters were not effective, and many times I ended up scrolling through pages of irrelevant items. The lack of sorting options made it difficult to find what I was looking for quickly. I found the whole experience of using Dndbeyond magic items to be quite frustrating and it didn't meet my expectations.
