Vaults

The Vaults of Larin, typically referred to as Artifact Vaults, are heavily guarded & secretive places in which Larin distributes their vast collection of artifacts to be stored across. There have been speculated to be a total of 20 vaults, though the location of these vaults have never been fully confirmed. Only 1 vault's location is known, and that is the Capital of Larin's Vault. Otherwise known as the Master Vault.

Master Vault
The Master Vault is the main storage facility for Larin's artifacts & valuable items. It is the most heavily guarded vault for this reason. It's location is under the Royal Palace, and it's only entrance is situated somewhere within. There is believed to be a total of 50 different artifacts and items stored there. Very few people are allowed to access the location, most being the Council of Advisors, the Lady of Larin herself, and the trusted Royal Guards which guard the place. It is believed the vault is divided into sections, with each section having to be accessed by a different key. This is to ensure that if anyone does get into the vault, only a few artifacts are stolen- as well as having to require more effort in order to gain the different keys. There are a total of 5 sections, with the 5th being the middle & innermost layer of the vault. This quadrant requires 2 people to open it, and contains the most important and valuable items.

Master Vault Keys
Master Vault Keys are specially made for the capital's vault. These keys are made out of enchanted gold material, which react with the specific locks used in the master vault. This is to prevent fraud keys being used, and prevents access without the real keys. Additionally, these keys need to be turned in a specific pattern in order to make them work. Of course, this pattern is only known to a handful of people. If a key is inserted wrongly, it will trigger the master alarm. Under the lock, a contraption is triggered which moves a rope back and forth. This rope is connected to a series of bells, which ring until both master keys for the middle section of the vault are turned correctly.
