Alec's Shard

What is the Elysian Shard?
The Elysian Shard is a crystal believed to be forged by Elven alchemists during the First Age used to combat the first Dark Lord Morgoth. The nature of the shard is largely unknown and many believe it to be mere myth.

The shard was found gripped in the hand of the orphan Alec when he was rescued by Rellan. The light blinks dimly and scarcely emits any light at all. The shard sits unawakened and undisturbed, forged into Alec's sword Ainurbane.
