Entropic Keys

Before the Hundred Year Damning, a powerful priest of Garagos named Varanicus Mharavahn created thirteen relics called the "Entropic Keys".

Historians and demonologists say that these relics were specifically crafted to open gates to and from the Abyss to begin a war on Sida. Noone knows when exactly the relics were made, but according to some sources, it took approximately four decades for these relics to finally be made. Vaaranicus, who's involvement and even existence is still yet unknown except for the odd and slightly-shady scholars, then planted these relics in the major cities of Sida, which eventually made their way into the hands of unknowing merchants and citizens whom inevitably activated these relics on accident. Upon reading each rune located on the relics, it would activate. Only when all thirteen relics were activated would the summoning begin, and each owner of the artifacts was said to have been desperately possessed with seeking out the other artifacts. After many long years, to the dismay of the island, all thirteen were activated, and the Hundred Year Damning began.

The thirteen relics had all different shapes and sizes but were said to connect together into a large rhombus shape. This object would then create a in front of it when placed in the designated area of activation, which some say to be deep underneath what was once the city of Amathod, thusly explaining Amathod's downfall. Its actual location was at the heart of Sida's former capital, Sepherim, once the largest city and the shining mercantile gem of the entire island. After the Hundred Year Damning had ended, Sepherim was said to be "swallowed up" by the portal. It is still, according to some demonologists, existing on a layer of the Abyss, but it is ruled by demonic forces now.
