Explorer
Torch in hand, a human explores a long lost underground city. He comes across a massive stone door with runes carved into it. After solving the puzzle he opens the door to see a massive treasure hoard full of gold, gems and one sword stuck in a pedestal in the center of the room. He picks up the sword and is immediately overwhelmed with the power the sword holds. He has stumbled across an ancient artifact of immense power and his soul is now bound to it.
Treasure Hunters
Artifacts are powerful one of a kind magic items that can not be created by mortal hands. Artifacts can not be destroyed except by very specific means. Some artifacts are too powerful for mortals to wield and can corrupt their very soul for trying. Explorers are normal individuals who gain all of their power from their artifact. Whether you found the artifact in an ancient ruin or it was passed down your family tree for generations before finally awakening in your hands, your soul is now intertwined with the artifact. You and your artifact are inseparable.
Weapons of Legend
Explorers are typically either folk heroes, heroes of legend, or hermits who keep to themselves. Normally, possessing an artifact would put a huge target on your back. But explorers can not be separated from their artifact, even in death. If an explorer dies while bonded to their artifact, the artifact disappears into the void, reappearing in in a new location later.
