The Problem with Toxic Waste

There is a problem with the item brought back from the corpse of the Irreproachable and Flawless Golden Tyrant.  Specifically the “Nadir of Inauspicious Fortune.”  It is an constant artifact that cannot be turned off that curses and taints everything around it in a 20 yard radius.

It has the same problem as toxic waste in our time period.  You can’t just ditch it somewhere because it will contaminate everything around it with effects unforseenable in the short term.

You can’t keep it in Rathess for the same reason.  There is no telling what would happen once the Essence Grid has had prolong exposure to the corrupting mist.

So unless its one weakness is discovered only two options exist.

1) Keep it away from Rathess on a secure site and have people constantly on guard around it.  This however does not take away any of the dangers of the item.  For all anyone knows in a year’s time the area could turn into a Shadowland, or something even worse.

2) Give it back to Mask of Winters, because it won’t do anyone else any direct harm.  Yes you are re-arming him with a potent artifact, but what alternative are there.  There is nothing anyone can do to contain or control it.

Yes sealing it in Obsidian can contain its power but that is not something anyone in Creation knows about.  The player has to make contact with Mistress of Pact Sealed in Blood to learn of the fact.
