Significant Items

A collection of noteworthy items in The Titan's Orb.

The Titan's Orb
Of all the most powerful objects in the universe, few can effortlessly protect an entire planet against otherworldly threats of both physical, magical, and supernatural.

The Titan's Orb has one singular purpose, to keep the world safe within it's unbreakable barrier.

A sphere of pure titanstone, this relic was supercharged by the Titans with millions of years' worth of mana in order to maintain a forcefield around Equus. It contains enough mana to equate the energy of a Blue Hypergiant star, needless to say will most likely not deplete until long after life on the planet has come to a natural end.

It's original name in Ancient Equestrian is Vitra ne Kifkey, which translates to "Soul of the World", and was once speculated to be the true source of mana and magic.

Various beliefs across Equestria speculated that Princesses Celestia and Luna became alicorns and gained their enhanced magic through the Orb, and then used its power to transform Princess Cadence into an alicorn as well. This is mere speculation, for Princess Cadence was in fact granted her wings and enhanced magic by Hades at Celestia's request. The mana required for such a transformation was fuelled by the Sacrificial Well.

There is only one power in the universe capable of forcefully breaking titanstone, called Anti-Mana, which is more commonly known as the Fel. When Nah'Lek the Defiler gained control over such a substance, he was quick to locate the Orb and use his newfound powers to shatter the relic into six shards and send them to Earth, where its power would be nullified and helpless to stop him from executing his plan.

Upon entry to another dimension, the shards were split into different fragments of time, causing them to land not only in different parts of the planet, but also in different times.

The landing of the orb shards caused a handful of events that have been classed by the human race as either man-made or natural disasters; for instance, one of the shards landed in Ukraine and caused the Chernobyl Disaster. This occurred due to traces of the Fel on the orb shard altering the radioactive output to make it even more deadly, along with seriously mutating the residents.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Stardust Moonshimmer imparted his soul to The Titan's Orb at the time of his death, which resided within a single shard upon the Orb's destruction. His soul was unwittingly absorbed by Callum Horncastle upon first contact with it in Brazil.

Vitra 'Aku
An ornamental weapon with a blade sharp enough to cleave through stone. Its name is Ancient Equestrian for "Soul Taker", and is the most important accessory to the Titan's Champion.

Created along with the orb, Vitra 'Aku was placed at the peak of Canterlot Mountain, and was soon-after found by the first individual to reach its summit, Brighthorn the First. Upon touching the sword, Brighthorn's soul was bound it, and the Titans named him Champion, and granted him the ability to wield the blade.

The sword is made of titanstone, just like the Orb. In fact, it has its own smaller orb embedded between the blade and the handle, this is where souls are stored upon slaying an enemy, which are then broken down into pure mana, completely destroying the owner's existence, denying them an afterlife.

There are two ways that the Champion can use captured souls.
 * 1) Kick-starting a burst of healing energy that flows throughout the body, causing extreme cell regeneration to instantly repair wounds. The more severe the wound is, the more mana is required.
 * 2) Strengthening one's own soul, increasing their natural attributes, such as strength, stamina, and intelligence. Soul strengthening also slightly reduces the speed of cell decomposition, thus reducing the effect of ageing. In theory, it is possible for a Champion to live for thousands of years, should they continue to strengthen their soul over the course of their life.

When Nah'Lek sent the Orb and Vitra 'Aku to Earth, the sword surprisingly wasn't broken. It was however sent much further back in time, landing in Egypt at roughly 2300BC.

The relic landed in the Sahara desert, and was found by the Ancient Egyptians, who worshipped the sword as a weapon of the gods, which ironically, it was.

Shortly afterwards, a young Hawnu Rey'eng approached the group and claimed to be the owner of the weapon, and made a pact with them; in return for swearing to keep the sword hidden and safe, he helped them build a technologically advanced underground empire to keep it undetected from the outside world.

After ensuring that none but his order knew of the sword, Hawnu Rey'eng left them to maintain his secret temple, where the sword would remain guarded for thousands of years.

Eventually, the order died out and Hawnu Rey'eng returned with a Kirikan from Equus, setting it loose in the underground paradise to protect the sword until Callum arrived to claim it.

Pocket Dimensions
As most women will agree, clothing is best when it actually has usable pockets, but what if these pockets were bigger on the inside?

Pocket dimensions are time and relative dimensions in space, which can be used to house things for easier transportation.
