'''Artifacts''' are ancient items of significant power, fame, and historic relevance. Many artifacts appear to have a mind of their own, changing form and dispersing across [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]] at random, never staying with one owner for long. The [[Lore:Daedric Princes|Daedric Princes]] of [[Lore:Oblivion|Oblivion]] pour pieces of their power into artifacts, and gift them to mortals to spread their influence in return for this power; an example of such an artifact is [[Lore:Azura's Star|Azura's Star]]. Not all artifacts are Daedric in nature or origin. Some, such as the [[Lore:Staff of Magnus|Staff of Magnus]], date back to the creation of [[Lore:Mundus|Mundus]]. Others, like [[Lore:Keening|KeeninngKeening]], were created by mortals. A few form naturally, such as the seven [[Lore:Star Teeth|Star Teeth]]. Several artifacts, such as [[Lore:Volendrung|Volendrung]], were originally created by mortals before they fell under Daedric influence.
Artifacts are near-impossible to permanently destroy, and usually resurface in several years; notable exceptions include [[Lore:Fearstruck|Fearstruck]] and [[Lore:Umbra|Umbra]]. Most artifacts possess powerful enchantments, superior craftsmanship, or both. Artifacts come in many forms, including weapons, armor, rings, books, and mundane items. They often go by several names, and are well-known to the people of Tamriel. Daedric artifacts are predominately made of {{Lore Link|ebony}}. Doom-driven [[Lore:Hero|heroes]] are known to come into contact with many artifacts, and the prophecies of the [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] sometimes relate to a specific artifact.
