The Peace Keeper's Orb
Pa'axi, matron of the Omni and confirmed celestial, is one of the most well-known tale keepers of all time. She started off as a story teller and professional historian and was close friends with politicians and other public figures all over the continent. Pa'axi was adapt with magic, especially enchanting and battle magic, but loved diving into scientific topics as well, making her one of the few that were neutral in the battle between magic and science.
Due to her passion for technological processes, she studied several years at Dânmaer's Tinkerers' guild under Konkôr Barbendt's wing. He and Pa'axi became life-long friends afterwards. He produced the first prototype of the tale keeper's orb after a particularly heated discussion with her.
The tale keeper's orb is a semi-magical device using bits of a person's soul to record whatever the person experiences, researches or perceives. Certainly very useful to replay events and data accurately at all times, these devices were commonly used to solve cases in court or settle personal arguments, even going as far as correcting merchant data and reproducing witness interviews without any faults in recording. Tale keeper's orbs can only be accessed or opened by their direct users or trusted allies; they cannot be blurred or otherwise manipulated. It's extremely difficult to destroy them and would risk its destroyer's life. Therefore, these devices are incredibly potent and still used to this day. They're a true representation of truth and justice. As the first tale keeper, Pa'axi gladly accepted Konkôr's gift. She definitely used it for good - using her skills from her previous job as a historian, she convinced the Elves and Dwarves to unite and settle their differences. She recorded all events, proving to the public that these contracts were set up under just circumstances. Due to her extraordinary work, she was soon chosen by the celestials to join their ranks, making her the last announced celestial to date.

Significance
This item is secured in the Cathedral of Lorla. The Cathedral lies on a small, separate island in a ring-like lake in mid-Aradeia and functions as the main focus of Pa'axi's religion. To keep the orb safe, it is kept behind thick glass walls and protected by numerous spells and curses, so that noone, who is forbidden to grasp it, can harm or access it.
