Boneshards

Boneshards are necromantic shards of black obsidian-like material ranging in size from a pencil to a forearm length shard. They are believed to be pieces of The Ridge which exploded during the Fulmination.

If a boneshard is kept in the possession of a sentient creature, it will begin to corrupt their thoughts and motives, removing morality and slowly poisoning their mind toward dark thoughts.

For some time, boneshards were able to be made inert via the Chalice of Kael within Father Celeb Whiteraven's possession. After Celeb's death it has become a popular rumour that it was never the Chalice which cleansed the boneshards, but the Orb of Power instead.
