The Idol Of Osiris

Description: This object was a small statue of Osiris, about two feet tall. It appeared to be of sandstone with small red and blue flecks, possibly corundum. It showed itself to not be as fragile as ordinary sandstone, however.

Function: The Idol Of Osiris was an Eternity Shard, carrying the group power of Insight. Its store of possibility energy was exhausted prior to its destruction.
