Waranal Transit Artifact

The Waranal Transit Artifact is a descriptive label for the unnamed white, hourglass-shaped object Vyriana provides during Nux's unstable bloodline awakening. Its only established function is access to the Waranal Dimension; the text does not give the artifact a canonical proper name or explain its internal mechanism.

History

Emergency passage to Waranal

When Nux's new bloodline awakens incorrectly, Amaya and the other wives ask Vyriana for a dimension with Mana and a much faster time flow so he can solve the problem. Their urgency persuades Vyriana to produce the white hourglass-shaped artifact and throw it to Amaya. She warns that Waranal contains Star Beasts as strong as Divine cultivators and recommends the safer Battle Dimension, but the family accepts the risk because its five-to-one time difference is too small for their needs. Vyriana treats the transfer as conditional assistance and says she will claim something of comparable value when they return. (Chapter 1020)

Inside the Core, Amaya reports that she has the artifact and that the wives are ready to accompany Nux. Nux instead freezes them, after which the artifact flies from Amaya toward him by an unstated means, and he disappears alone. The scene establishes him as its user but does not show the activation process, the return journey, or a later handoff. Its latest custody is therefore unresolved rather than automatically reverting to Vyriana or remaining with Nux. (Chapter 1020)

Abilities and properties

• The artifact transports a user to the Waranal Dimension. No chant, energy type, charge, coordinate selection, passenger limit, or return procedure is stated. (Chapter 1020)
• It is white and shaped like an hourglass. Nothing in the source establishes that it measures time or manipulates time directly. (Chapter 1020)
• Time in Waranal flows at a ratio of twenty-five years there to one year in Yrniel. This is a property of the destination described by Vyriana, not a demonstrated power generated by the artifact. (Chapter 1020)
• Waranal contains Star Beasts up to twelve-star strength, comparable to Divine cultivators. That danger limits safe use, but belongs to the destination rather than to the transit object itself. (Chapter 1020)
• The artifact moves from Amaya's hand toward Nux after he immobilizes the group, but the narration does not identify whether he summons it, moves it telekinetically, or triggers an item function. Its movement should not be treated as evidence of sentience. (Chapter 1020)
