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.
- [Omphalos #][sequence found, A/B/C/etc] (and optionally the city name)
- 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.
