The Aleph

rdfs:comment

For all appearances, the Aleph looks much like a fist-sized, glowing glass sphere, not unlike a small crystal ball. However, it is no "standard" magical item or artefact, but rather an embodiment of all existence. It typically shows a number of everchanging images of strange worlds and areas. The Aleph (Spanish: El Aleph) is a collection of short stories by the Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges. The book is named after one of the short stories found within it.

For all appearances, the Aleph looks much like a fist-sized, glowing glass sphere, not unlike a small crystal ball. However, it is no "standard" magical item or artefact, but rather an embodiment of all existence. It typically shows a number of everchanging images of strange worlds and areas. How exactly such a manifestation of cosmic power can assume a physical form is unknown, but the Aleph is well-known to certain sages and magicians whose knowledge spans part of the Macrocosmos. However, evil or selfish beings of such ability also covet the Aleph for their own use, as it would give them the power to travel freely through the Macrocosmus and thus expand their base of power. One such being was the Archmage Globus, the ruler of the Ziggurat World. He even summoned several Spectral Stalkers to slay the possessor of the Aleph and have it brought to him, but the Aleph's keeper managed to turn the tables against Globus, who was slain by the creatures he had enslaved. The Aleph (Spanish: El Aleph) is a collection of short stories by the Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges. The book is named after one of the short stories found within it.
