Rainbow Shell: Difference between revisions

The Rainbow Shell is seemingly the fossil of an ancient, huge sea creature, compressed and refined by the unreal powers of [[Lavos]]'s crashing into the planet. The result of this refinement is an incredibly strong and powerful mineral, imbued with elemental abilities and the subject of much myth and legend. It was apparently in the possession of the [[Reptite]]s, whose [[Tyranno Lair]] was crushed by Lavos; the shell subsequently was reduced to a place of residence far below the planet's crust. It may have been visited by citizens of [[Zeal]], or legends of it were passed through generations by the [[Ioka]]ns or [[Larubans]]; regardless, accounts of its power and beauty appear in Zeal's tomes, and even filter into the treasure hunting cliques of [[600 A.D.]], evident in [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Toma.html Toma]'s own desire to hunt the shell and the Dorino Elder's interest in it. Toma did eventually locate it in the [[Giant's Claw]], which is the [[Tyranno Lair]]'s second incarnation as an island that briefly appears in the Middle Ages. He was unable to procure the shell from its resting place, but in the [[Keystone Dimension|Keystone Timelines]], he informed [[Crono]] and the heroes of time of its location. It was subsequently recovered by knights of the [[Kingdom of Guardia]], where it lay in its treasury for four hundred years, planned to be unveiled at the [[Moonlight Parade]].
