  • The Greatest Objects Never Seen Again - Lost Artifacts
    May 31 2022

    Legends of objects of value and grandeur surround people of similar nature, we look to these relics as milestones of our accomplishments as humans and sometimes these objects take on stories of their own. Weapons of great power and destruction, secrets that could change the world or powerful objects that in the wrong hands could cause the end of everything. 

    These sacred and special artifacts sometimes go missing and lost to time, where do these pieces of our history go and what happened to these mythic items?

    Today, we bring you three stories of powerful artifacts lost to time. A feudal swordsmakers most powerful sword goes missing during a World War, a bardian original is lost to the annuals of the stage and an engine is created that smells good.
