Ancient Weapon

The Ancient Weapon is a mysterious bundle that spawns in the northwest corner of the Arid Sea, inside the city guarded by the Enchanted. Specifically, in an alley east of the main square, a little north of the bleached bones. It does not spawn until the player approaches the location.

The item appears to be remarkably similar to the Ark of the Covenant (the orange is supposed to be a glowing gold like color) and has a column of flame softly emanating from the main body (see the glow in the pic).

Some players claim the artifact is used in a quest, but none have been able to identify which. Yannel Brunn speaks of weapons strong enough to destroy his civilization, but the Ancient Weapon does not seem to interest him. It is also of no interest to the Forgotten Guardian. It disappears if carried out of the zone.

The Ancient weapon is identical in appearance to the Resurrection orb used in King of the Hill in Heroes' Ascent. Its looks are also identical to the Holy Relic used in the quest The Stolen Artifact. It is not clear if these are related in any way.
