Inside the treasure vault, rows of artifacts were on display, each one protected by a glass case. Aldrian knew that if anyone somehow managed to slip inside and break the glass to steal an artifact, the traps would be instantly activated. All of the artifacts on display were of at least Low Heaven grade, and their numbers reached into the thousands. These artifacts spanned the long history of the Forgeheart Kingdom, each possessing unique qualities that made them worthy of being stored here.
For example, there was a shield created by the 15th king of the Forgeheart Kingdom. This shield was forged when he was at the Low King stage, using rare material from a dragon's scale. In the past, when the dragon race still roamed the continent, their scales were renowned for being nearly impenetrable by physical attacks. With the disappearance of dragons from the Barisan continent, this shield had become an incredibly valuable item, sought after by many.
