The Arid Sea

General Information
Area Name: The Arid Sea Region: Crystal Desert

General Description: The Arid Sea is a harsh area deep in the Crystal Desert. It appears to have been a sea hundreds of years ago, when the Margonites attempted to achieve Ascension. It features a gigantic statue of a warrior east of the center of the area. Only the boots remain erect, but the torso can be seen bridging two rock mounds.

Ancient Weapon
A mysterious pickupable item labeled "Ancient Weapon" (closeup) spawns in the northwest corner of this zone, inside the city guarded by Enchanted Armors, Hammers and Bows. (More 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.) Some players claim the artifact is used in a quest, but none have been able to identify which. The NPC Yannel Brunn speaks of weapons strong enough to destroy his civilization, but the Ancient Weapon does not seem to interrest him. It disappears if carried out of the zone.
