Incomplete Article
- This article is incomplete, which means that while it is not a stub, it still lacks certain data or information.
- Memories missing
- Please see Category:Incomplete articles for more articles that are incomplete.
The memory orb is a magical orb located in the Hibarnhvidar Empath's guild hall, beside Guildleader Dagreth Rendarak. Touching the orb allows the recall of a fragment of memory. There is a brief period of time between when the orb can be interacted with by a single person.
Looking at the orb:
- The orb sits on a pedestal like a giant egg on display. Shades of red, blue and green shoot through the ovoid, in constant motion, making the orb appear as if it is lit with several internal fires.
- You can feel intense power within the orb.
