Disclaimer

Atrifacts in this document might be overpowered and unbalanced. These items are made for a group of level 27-28 player characters. Most of them already have more overpowered items and will probably either sell these or give these to non player characters.

But seriously, these items belong to GODS of a realm, so it is normal for them to be a bit overpowered.
