The Celestial Objects

The Celestial Objects (Τα Oυράνια Aντικείμενα) were created thousands of years ago at the dawn of civilization. After Ouranos was destroyed, pieces of his body fell to earth where they were discovered by a malevolent ruler who's name was lost to time, story tellers have dubbed him "The Celestial King". He summoned his high priests and ordered them to turn the pieces into powerful weapons. The priests shaped the pieces of Ouranos into twelve different items and endowed each with different abilities. Each priest named an item after themselves and transferred pieces of their souls into the objects. They worked for twelve years until, at last, all items were completed.

The King took the items and began his conquest of the known world. Eventually he grew bolder and more arrogant. He thought himself a god and turned his attention to Olympus.

When Zeus saw the King and the weapons he was carrying he became furious. He hated the idea that magic items could make anyone think they were mightier than the gods. He ordered the priests who created the objects to kill the king and retrieve the objects. Zeus then killed the preists and ordered the other gods to hide the objects so that no other mortals could ever find them.

Limitations
After the Celestial King was killed, the Priests gathered the Celestial Objects and cast spells on them so that they could not be used simultaneously by the same person. The only way these items could be used together is with the Cuirass of Libra or by casting certain spells from Virgo's Spell Book. They further limited the power of the Objects by placing restraints on who could use them. They created a new calander and only people born during certain time periods could use the objects to their full potential.
