If you thought the ring was a rare find, wait until you get your hands on this!
It turns out the method the King used did not originate from his time period. His court discovered a ritual performed by a tribe from much further back. It, of course, dealt with sacrifice, but in substantial groups.
Spare Drone Parts
//--AUTO-TRANSCRIPTION FROM UES [Redacted] --//
"Y'see those new drone models they approved for us? Never thought I'd see 'em in person, if I'm being honest."
"Yeah, for sure. Only the big wigs had access to tech like that... Makes you wonder what we're up against. I mean, everyone's heard the stories, but..."
"Ah, I wouldn't worry. After all, y'know my buddy Jim?"
"From hardware?"
"Yeah, him. Dude's a savant, let me tell you.
Spinel Tonic
“Reality is whatever the mind decides it to be. Take a sip of the drink, and the mind becomes malleable. From there, you can shape it into whatever form you please... and the world around you follows your example.”

Squid Polyp
"It’s disgusting."
"It’s only mildly disturbing. You’re overreacting."
"Well, when it turns on us, don’t come crying to me."
"It seems like it wants to only help us, so I’d rather have it close in case that dangerous looking group comes back around."
"I swear there’s more than one. It’s everywhere I look: the storage locker, the food dispenser, the cargo containers, everywhere!"
"You’re exaggerating, it’s probably just following you.
Sticky Bomb
In the blaring heat, a silhouette could be seen, hiding in the cool shade of a nearby cave. She was waiting for the sandstorm to pass.
She heard a noise and turned around, recognizing another silhouette. It bounded into the cave with excitement. As the figure got closer, she alarmingly noticed the cargo.
"Woah, what the hell?! Why are you holding like, fifty bombs? Get away from me! "

Stone Flux Pauldron
"Much like the earth, you must be sturdy and inflexible. Completely and utterly immovable, in both body and mind. Fear not the sword of your enemy, visualize it shattering against your skin. Focus, and make it true. Fear not the tumbling avalanche, visualize it yielding to your will. But heed, and do not fight without reason. Those who remain rooted will quickly find themselves alone."
-Will of Combat, First Excerpt
Stone Golem
“Many scholars have written of a lifeforce present in the ground we walk on. That the earth under our feet is alive, in its own way. After my experiences on this planet, I can contribute to that theory; Petrichor V is home to Golems, each towering over humans at roughly 10 feet high, and comprised of stone and twine and animated by mysterious, otherworldly forces. From basic observation, the Golems seem to act as a defense garrison for Petrichor.
Stone Titan
“A flash of red lightning, and a hillside moved to form this gargantuan stone warrior. A larger cousin of the Stone Golem (see Chapter 13), this mighty Titan commands not just lesser stone constructs, but the earth itself. Shaping rudimentary weapons out of dirt, the Titan is capable of striking from any distance with incredible force. Though, reflecting on the Titan’s immense power, that leads me to think... For what purpose do these constructs serve?
