Weapon of Desolation

History[]

Background[]

The Weapon of Desolation was created long ago for reasons unknown, tied to the very creation of the realms.^[1] It was later divided into two parts by the First Spinjitzu Master, who used an incantation he inscribed on a tablet. He concealed the two halves in distinct locations: the yellow fragment in the Tree of Madness in the Realm of Madness, and the pink fragment in the Tree of Burdens in Umbrasilvis.^[2]

Many millennia later, Dr. LaRow would eventually learn about the Weapon of Desolation and retrieved the tablet from an unknown realm following Beatrix's defeat. The withdrawal of half the Source Dragons from the Council of Sources caused the two fragments of the Weapon of Desolation to create Elemental Monsters throughout the Merged Lands.^[2]

During the meeting with the Loyalists, the Chief Loyalist presented a hologram of the Weapon of Desolation, elucidating its connection to the Elemental Monsters. She explained that these creatures emerged from the imbalance of Source Energy associated with the weapon. Subsequently, she urged them to locate the weapon to uncover the true origins of the Elemental Monsters.
