In Tamriel's ancient history, Syrabane saved all of the continent by judicious use of his Ring, and ever since, it has helped adventurers with less lofty goals. The Warlock's Ring of the Archmage Syrabane is one of the most popular relics of myth and fable. In time, the Staff will abandon the mage who wields it before he becomes too powerful and upsets the mystical balance it is sworn to protect. When used, it absorbs an enemy's health and mystical energy. The Staff of Magnus, one of the elder artifacts of Tamriel, was a metaphysical battery of sorts for its creator, Magnus. Seldom has Chrysamere been wielded by any bladesman for any length of time, for it chooses not to favor one champion. It lends the wielder health, protects him or her from fire, and reflects any spells cast against the wielder back to the caster. The Paladin's Blade is an ancient claymore with offensive capabilities surpassed only by its own defenses. For most, possessing Spell Breaker for any length of time is power enough. It is said that Spell Breaker still searches for its original owner, and will not remain the property of anyone else for long. Aside from its historical importance in the Battle of Rourken-Shalidor, the Spell Breaker protects its wielder almost completely from any spell caster, either by reflecting magicks or silencing any mage about to cast a spell. Spell Breaker, superficially a Dwemer tower shield, is one of the most ancient relics of Tamriel. It is Boethiah alone who determines when a person is ineligible to bear the Ebony Mail any longer, and the goddess can be very capricious.

If judged worthy, its power grants the wearer added resistance of fire, magicka, and grants a magical shield. It is she who determines who should possess the Ebony Mail and for how long a time. The Ebony Mail is a breastplate created before recorded history by the Dark Elven goddess Boethiah. It is said that whenever Kynareth deigns the wearer unworthy, the Lord's Mail will be taken away and hidden for the next chosen one. It grants the wearer power to absorb health, resist the effects of spells, and cure oneself of poison when used. Sometimes called the Armor of Morihaus or the gift of Kynareth, this is an ancient cuirass of unsurpassable quality. Some may be myth, others may be hoax, but regardless, many have lost their lives attempting to find or protect these very coveted items. All have been seen, owned, and lost, again and again throughout Tamriel. The following are notes I have gathered, over the past centuries, of items of unimaginable significance. Almost exactly the same as Famed Artifacts of Tamriel.
