Sequence #:
Each artifact is identified by a unique sequence code. The abbreviation reflects the series title—for example, AW stands for Aetherian War, the inaugural saga within the Interdimensional Stories. The accompanying number indicates the chronological order of release, allowing collectors to trace the evolution of the series across dimensions and timelines.
-
Style:
The style of an artifact is denoted in its edition label. Early releases are marked as the Ancient Edition, followed by the Classic Version, often signaled by the First Edition designation. Styles vary dramatically—from intricate 2D engravings to immersive 3D renderings, from silver-plated relics to gold-infused masterpieces. Colors and forms range from mystical hues that shimmer with ethereal energy to enigmatic shapes that defy conventional geometry, each style reflecting the essence of its origin.
-
Rarity:
Rarity is determined by a combination of factors: the origin realm of the artifact, the materials used in its forging, and the race or civilization responsible for its creation. Artifacts crafted from rare cosmic alloys or imbued with energies from forgotten dimensions are considered exceptionally rare. Those linked to legendary beings or ancient races carry unparalleled prestige, making them highly sought after by collectors and scholars alike.
