INSIGHT

The Box Is A Coffin

  • Bolaire's Arcana reveals the silver box is halfling-sized and references 'Obsidia', linking it to the Tenebral Reaches and afterlife lore.
  • The artifact functions as a coffin-like device tied to the world's metaphysical history and the Shapers' War.
ADVICE

Close Dangerous Items At Range
