[edit] Artifacts

Locations indicated by the console at 164.109.150.213, after entering Omphaloi locations with their associated destinations.
I'm using a naming convention for the artifact as:
- [Omphalos #][sequence found, A/B/C/etc] (and optionally the city name)
  eg, Cardiff was the first artifact found through omphalos #1 (Stephenville), so it's "1A (Cardiff)"
There's no guarantee the artifacts will be found in order, so the contents are being ordered as they're found.
The artifacts contain pages of 27 chapters from the "Codex of the Lost Ring".
According to Ariadne (email to Jasper, March 16, 2008), players should TAKE the artifacts they find.
According to a blog post from Markus on each artifact location a "second story" can be found.
Kai set up a map on Flickr of the artifact locations.
