Retired Chests (Section One)
The Animus Box
Event: Wars and Epic Battles
Date Released: 10/31/14
"Rumor has it that this mysterious box is dropping from Epic Battles and Wars.
In order to open the Animus Box you'll need either an Animus Key or Golden Animus Key. Keys can be purchased from the Marketplace, but you'll need an Animus Box in order to be able to purchase them. You can purchase one Animus Key per 24 hour period with gold, and unlimited Golden Animus keys with Nobility Points. Both keys work the same way, and will open the Animus Box."
Fun Fact: This chest saw the introduction of the Building Token concept. "One of the most sought after rewards in the Animus Box, the Building Token is a mysterious new relic. When combined with Tempos Gold (which can be bought in the Marketplace for gold) you'll receive a Golden Building Token. When you have a Golden Building Token in your inventory, the next building upgrade you perform will be free of charge."
Crux Crates

Date Released: 12/4/14
"Lured by the promise of fame and riches, warriors from far and wide gather in a vast desert. Yet amid the boisterous crowd of rogues and desert dogs, there stands a lone silent figure.
After a time, the crowd takes notice of its one quiet member. It slowly parts to reveal an old wizened crone.
Bent and shambling, the crone ascends the tallest sand dune. She holds out her gnarled hand to reveal a small bauble.
Once again, the crone sets the Top of Fate spinning…"
Spirit War Stocking
Event: Spirit of War: Merry Mischief
Date Released: 12/23/14
"Despite their reputation as stern harbingers of war, not all ancient spirits are without humor. Some playful spirits are said to leave amusing gifts for their favorite soldiers.
These trickster spirits delight in watching skilled warriors battle with such lighthearted gifts. And like all ancient spirits, nothing amuses them more than a war well fought…
…except perhaps a well-aimed pudding to the head."Fun Fact:This stocking could contain any one of a wide variety of items including the Rum Plunder Spell which provided a PvE Plunder Bonus and stacked with other types of plunder spells. (This meant it would not stack with other Rum Plunder Spells, but would stack with others such as the Blizz-Herd Plunder, Prolific Plunderer, and Blood Rains plunder spells.) Also available from this Stocking was an extrememly rare drop of one of three new banners: Banner of the Spirit War Bear, Banner of the Spirit War Mammoth, or Banner of the Spirit War Stag.

Royal Coffers
Event: The Farmer's Journey, Part 3 - The Nemesis
Date Released: 7/21/15
"The main road leading to the holy city of Ciro, birthplace of St. Timaios, was like a slow-flowing river fed by streams from all four corners of the kingdoms ...
Walking their horses amid the great press of life were the Mage and the Acolyte ...
For the most part, the acolyte and the Mage did not attempt to speak to each other over the noise of the crowd. The acolyte occasionally tried to read one or another of her texts, but always found herself watching the other travelers instead.
The Mage did not look around at all, but stared straight ahead with his customary frown of concentration, purposefully perusing his mental libraries ...
“Death and the dungeon make equals of us all,” replied the Mage. “St. Timaios was not a particularly virtuous or brave man, but he was well-educated and and keen of mind, and he was able to maintain both his sanity and his diary throughout his decades in the Nemesis’ dungeon.”
“The torment underwent by the Farmer would have killed a thousand men a thousand times, but He was not allowed to die. It was His misery and His miracle that He survived.”
Fun Fact: There were no chests for The Farmer's Journey, Parts 1 or 2.

“Mark me, Hierophantess,” he said. “She has the Gift. She will endure the visions and see into the past. She will see the Red Realm and she will know the truth of it. She will bear witness to the Story, and she will emerge, sound of mind and soul, to serve the Farmer.”
They both turned to look out the window to stare at the wild whipping of the snowy winds.
“The girl is an Oracle,” continued the Mage. “I’d stake my life on it.””
Fun Fact: There were no chests for The Farmer's Journey, Parts 1 or 2.
Thanatic Boon
Event: The Farmer's Journey, Part 5: Apotheosis

The Cordimancer!”
Fiannai Chest
Event: Sun Lord and Green Lady
Date Released: 11/4/15
"Long ago, mankind worshipped the Deithe Fiannai, antler-crowned gods of the Sun and the Moon.
Each year, Fianogh Ghriannos, god of the Sun and the beasts of the forest, demanded of mankind a blood sacrifice to pay for a year’s hunting of his subjects.
His twin sister, Geal Bheanna, goddess of the Moon and the green life of the forest, called for her domain to be cleansed of evil.
If their price wasn’t met, it was said that Fianogh Ghriannos would release the Sun from his hunting nets, and Geal Bheanna would not play her magical harp, which was responsible for the progression of the seasons.
According to legend, if their demands go unheeded, the world will descend into a never-ending winter...”

Date Released: 12/30/15
"'Llarum, my friend,' he said quietly, 'let us await the word of the temples. Let the men have certainty. Even if the Unkari did send these curses, how can we know that by their slaughter we will lift them?'
'We must bide our time, Llarum. We must grieve.'
'No. There will be no further delays' snarled Othorion, wheeling round, his red eyes flashing again. 'The filthy incursion will pay for their treachery. Send out the call. We march in one hour.'
With that, Othorion drew his giant fur cloak around him and walked out of the tent into the frigid dawn with a slight shiver.”

Unkari Chest
Event: Lay of the Rimeland, Part 4: Voorziel the Cursefount
Date Released: 1/29/16
"There was now a hideous appendage extending from the inside of the orb where the ice was missing. It appeared as a giant leg, like that of a crab or a spider, jointed yet which seemed to be able to bend fluidly like the tentacle of a sea creature. It was able to extend and retract itself at will, and it whipped about the chamber, seemingly at random yet at the same time with an apparent intelligence. It was covered in cilia that moved with a hideous life of its own, and it was topped with a needle-sharp white barb with which it seemed to regard the room, like a serpent searching for a meal.
“Voorziel!” said Lysanthir pleasantly, as the others looked on in horror, “Awake at last, are you? You took your time…” He turned his face upwards toward the ceiling of the grotto, and a faraway look entered his eyes.
“You must be starving.” he said quietly.”

Sunrise Chest
Event: Once Beyond Reach
Date Release: 3/22/16
"Running up the center of each side of the pyramid is a wide staircase, and at its peak, a mysterious stone archway. A strange magic is at work; you and your crew attempt to climb the stairs, but are unable to make any headway. You tread for minutes up the stone steps, yet the archway at the top draws no nearer, and the bottom of the pyramid is as close as it ever was.
Looking around near the base of one of the sets of stairs, you spy a plaque set in the stone, bearing an inscription in an ancient language. The Mage tries to interpret the pictographs, but the only words he can make out are:
“Ascend…”
“Gate…”
“Jade…”
...and two strange words, never before uttered by a Lowlander…
“Osmon Rai.”"
