Shard of Glory

"It is the only exception I could give to mortal kind, to see through the eyes of a god. I do not desire to take away someone's mortality, as mortality is golden for them." - Crysta, a note in the Tome of the Elder Gods

The Shard of Glory is a god's tool, that was known to be used to create Gemini, and was believed to be a creation of Crysta. The Shard of Glory looks like a big glowing crystal on an ornate pedestal. As soon someone touches the Shard of Glory, he could experience godly power as long as he remained close to it.

Appearance
The Shard of Glory made an appearance once in the Second Age. It was found, and later on used by Anhrak to create the God's Ward, which forbid any godly power to touch the land.

After the ward was created, the Shard of Glory shattered in 100 pieces, each useable and containing a small fragment of power. The fragments, although not being a Godslayer in any way, are capable of dethroning gods.

The Javelin of the Heritor is an exception to the Godslayer kind. It was first a normal weapon, crafted by Thordur, but eventually became an official Godslayer when it was used to kill Anhrak.
