-The '''Lens''' is an device crafted by the [[Dragonwilds:Elder Gods]]. It is used to ensure that the sun of [[Dragonwilds:Gielinor]] gives off an appropriate amount of heat to the world. Before they departed to slumber, they had tasked the [[Dragonwilds:KotHaar]] into safekeeping the device within [[Dragonwilds:Umbral Sands]] of [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]]. For years, the device was untouched until [[Dragonwilds:Fuzan]] had discovered the KotHaar and the Lens, using it to turn Umbral Sands into an inhabitable desert, moving the device to his lair. It isn't until the [[Dragonwilds:Sixth Age]] where a group of [[Dragonwilds:Player Character|adventurers]] had arrived to the region put an end to Fuzan's rule.

I think it's needs to be something different now, as there are big lore connotations for an elder "artifact" behind just "really powerful" that the Lens doesn't meet (I can't remember how many of these rules are public though, so I can't say much).}}
 ** It was revealed that the idea was to make it {{RSL|The Mirror}}, but it was scrapped due to big lore connotations.
-*** However, that is not to say it is not powerful, as the Lens is able to turn Umbral Sands into an inhabitable desert.
