In any city, in any country, there's a mental institution or halfway house you can try any of these in. There were 2538 of these Objects, but 2000 were lost.
The remaining 538 must never
come together. Ever.
These stories have been
gathered from various sources, many of which are questionable at best, but they
all follow a similar thread; they tell the tale of a number of Objects, which,
when brought together, will bring about horrendous consequences, details of
which drive most people mad.
The veracity of the stories
is always in question; this is how it is intended to be. Nobody really knows if
these Objects are real, or if there are indeed a set number of Objects that
exist in the world that yearn for a reunion with their kin. Speculation runs
rampant; part of what makes the Holders stories so enticing is the possibility
any person could go into a special institution, ask to visit a Holder, and be
forced to undergo a test of power to earn an Object.
Some of the Holders have
posted their own stories, adding to the mystery of an already eerie and
unnerving series. This site is merely an archive; the Holders themselves have
leaped around the fields of realm and lore since time immemorial, and the
Objects are restless for their Reunion.
The Objects, while powerful
and fearsome, lack the ability to freely gather together of their own volition,
and so have called forth a need in certain individuals. These people become
Seekers, their stories as twisted and damned as the Objects themselves. These
Seekers have oft set out for three main reasons: to Seek for Power, to Seek for
Reunion, or to Seek for Separation. Their goals are known to mutate and change
them into villains and monsters but we can only hope that one with a just heart
prevails over these foes.
There may very well be a
reason that you have come across this site, dear reader. Perhaps the Objects
are calling.
