	In 826 [[PR]]—following the final step of the ceremony to resurrect [[Sardior]] during [[The Battle of Five Lights]]—the Selune Splinter from [[Jadenhill]] was imbued with divine psionic power, taking on a glowing ~~Emerald~~ hue and becoming the new ~~Emerald~~ artifact of the resurrected [[Ruby Court]]. Now dubbed the ~~'''~~Emerald Splinter~~'''~~, its arcane amplifying properties became even more pronounced as its owner—[[Durzibethinus]]—discovered that he could use it as a focus to psionically scry across the multiverse and even detect his own echoes from parallel realities.

	Like its predecessor—the [[~~Ruby Court#Prehistoric Artifacts\|~~Emerald Blade]]—the Emerald Splinter can create a small protective ward around its wielder…but instead of serving as a functional weapon in dangerous territories, the Splinter protects by helping to dodge danger altogether using its scrying feature.

	In his full-sized [[Dragon]] form, [[Durzibethinus]] can wear the Emerald Splinter set inside of a ring to use while out on missions. While in his lair or not being used, however, he locks it atop an enchanted pedestal of his own design. Paranoid about his ancestral artifact being stolen again, the pedestal will deal psychic damage to anyone who touches the Splinter if they lack the essence of an [[Emerald Dragon]].
