Artifact: Moros Device (Condemnor)

-The existence of this Device had originally been indicated by the responses of the Philotes Device; we have since acquired one of the devices from Fort Orpheon.

-Similar 33-spiked appearance to other Asterii Devices. Core of the device reflects no light, similar to the Null Singularity.

-It's apparent use is in the destruction of souls, and creating null fields. However, Anvephone's research also indicates that hosting the device considerably diminishes one's lifespan, as they too are affected by the soul consuming effects of the technology. There may be methods to prevent this occurrence, though they have yet to be discovered or determined. Archmagos Wakes believed survival of Condemnor might be related to replacement of the Weak Flesh.

-Evidence from the design of the Asterii Cathedral and testimony of King Quinque indicates that the majority Condemnor Champions were expected to die and/or sentenced to death. However, Anvephone's logs note that other, non-condemned users of this device included "Condemnor Archivists" and "Fifth Order Champions." We have learned that the latter title belonged to members of the Asterii who had bonded with all five of the devices; for the former, we know little about their roles and qualifications.

-King Quinque is bonded to a Condemnor, to spite the God of Chaos that might otherwise have received his soul upon his death. He has indicated that by becoming a 5th Order Champion, he should be able to subvert the slow death the device promises, and that he has some information regarding the methods by which the Condemnor Archivists survived.

-Thus far, focusing the device's power against a foe seems to cause a painful, soul flensing effect.
