Keys

The Twelve Keys of the Apocryphal SMP server are the custom Eyes of Ender that will be used to open the portal when it is eventually Okayed by DomMOW.

The lore behind the Keys is written by myself, Nether Hunter, with slight input and changes regarding what lore I get from the other players' backstories and plotlines. Currently very few keys are actually known to the players.

The Unbreakable Key
The Unbreakable Key was the first Key to be found by the players, and is as of yet the only key to be actually held by anyone. It is in the possession of High King Stigandr, and his Forgeborn Court.

It was initially found in the possession of the Druegar lieutenant, given to him by King Barthkor of the Druegar.

The Unbreakable Key is an Eye of Ender, enchanted with Unbreaking III, with a unique name and lore tag.

The Drowned Key
The Drowned Key is the third key to be known of by the players, and the second key to be sighted. Though it is not yet in anyone's possession.

It is trapped in the frame of a ruined End portal in the Hellenite ruins that Jupputt helped Selene and Halvard find. This portal is presumed to be what caused the downfall of the Hellenite civilization.

As of yet, no one has found any way to remove the Drowned Key from the Portal Frame, but it will happen in time.

The Burning Key
The Burning Key is the second key to be known to the members of the server, and is officially in Nezhakai's possession, though he has no way to get to it.

It is at the core of Nezhakai's Oracle Crystal, which gives him brief glimpses of the future and the other keys, so he doesn't plan on destroying the Oracle to get the Burning Key until all of the other keys are acquired.

The Holy Key
The Holy Key is not yet found or known by the members, but it is in the possession of an unknown cult.

The Frozen Key
The Frozen Key is not yet found or known by the members, but will be uncovered along with the history of an ancient and long dead species.

Other Keys
As well as those five, another seven keys exist. They are scattered, and will be uncovered through lore events throughout the story of the server.

Trivia

 * The keys are made in order to be a lore-friendly way to drive players towards The End, while still keeping the end locked away from players for now.
 * The Unbreakable Key was added to the room it was found in after that room was already cleared, due to my own forgetfulness.
