The Shroud of Eden copy is one of Juno's failed attempts in cloning the technology developed by Consus. While maintaining the original's extraordinary healing properties and significantly improving the wearer's physical faculties, it also retained fragments of the consciousnesses of both Consus and Juno. The continuous use of this Shroud is considered dangerous and capable of leading to insanity and death due to the the consciousnesses' ability to speak with the wearer and, more harmfully, their ability to attempt possession of the wearer.[1]
History
In 872, the Order of the Ancients tracked the Shroud to Warwick Burh, a fortress on the River Avon being used as the residence of a merchant family, and sent a contigent of Order members and two dozen mercenaries led by Order captain Aleksi. Once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly and doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the room was breached by Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies, Aleksi was found writing on the rock wall with blood, using his forefinger, which had worn down to the bone. As he turned towards them, his finger healed while Consus addressed Eivor through Aleksi before Juno took control of the man and attacked the group, though Eivor and the others managed to recover the Shroud.[1]
