The Outcast Reliquary, established by the Vraxathi, began as a spiritual refuge for scholars and thinkers exiled from their homes. In the aftermath of the Sundering, these individuals sought to reclaim the lost knowledge and technologies that were decimated during the conflict. Despite the surrounding chaos plaguing Vraxath Prime, the Reliquary emerged as a modest bastion of learning and cultural preservation, attracting many who yearned for understanding amid the turmoil.
As the Reliquary developed, it became a beacon of academic advancement, producing notable works in philosophy, science, and the arcane arts. However, this scholarly oasis was not without its shadows. Beneath its esteemed surface lay the Souldrain Engine, an ancient apparatus that had been reactivated by an ambitious researcher. This device siphoned the planet's lifeforce to prolong the lives of the governing council, revealing a disturbing willingness to sacrifice the world for power and knowledge.
The Reliquary's allure was exacerbated by the presence of the Sacred Fragment of the Star Seer’s Compass, rumored to grant ultimate power to those who sought it. However, those who ventured to claim it often vanished without a trace, feeding the narrative of a formidable guardian or a deadly trap poised to protect the fragment's secrets. Whispers of the Secret of the Elders also emerged, suggesting a clandestine chamber where past leaders communed with interstellar entities, seeking cosmic wisdom and insights beyond mortal comprehension.
Despite the sinister undertones woven into its history, the Outcast Reliquary stood firm as a focal point for knowledge-seekers across Vraxath Prime. The apparent neutrality of the Reliquary belied the precarious balance it maintained amidst growing tensions in the region. Its seemingly benevolent pursuit of knowledge served to attract even more scholars, all the while teetering on the precipice of calamity as the darker elements of its existence threatened to unravel the very fabric of what it intended to preserve.
