Zodiarc

Zodiarc is a technological miracle as well as a source of limitless energy and a pathway to hidden knowledge. This view isn't shared by everyone. Some consider it more a weapon-like alien parasite with infinitely corrupting influence.

Lore
Those Zodiarcs were gifts of the Heralds, who came to Lumus over a thousand years ago from a dark and dying world.*

This event changed the world, as the Zodiarcs showed humanity a way to manifest will into physical reality. An age for incredible wonders followed, which ended in a terrible war.

Wise men found Zodiarc Relics and rediscovered their purpose. This started a new Zodiarc age.
