The Mystic's Heart and Soul were two sister gemstones with a great reputation and potential value on the black market in The City.[1][2] Little is know about the gemstones' origins or characteristics but, although they appear to be quite transparent, basically seem to be large, though ordinary gemstones.

Protection Chambers[]

Great precautions had been taken when building the rooms containing the artifacts, in order to keep the thieves away. The Mystic's Soul was protected by first a hall containing torches that all needed to be lighted after which both the door to the gemstone's chamber would open as well as several doors each containing one Zombie. Then a room was entered containing many wall traps and the stone had to be retrieved from a pressured surface (note that the skull next to it can be used to prevent it from being sprung). The Mystic's Soul was protected first by a room that required the person to go down a large well by jumping down wooden beams trapped with purple energy bolts; then there was a hall containing statues whose gaze meant death;[3] and lastly there was a Hammer Haunt guarding the final coffin containing the gem. An area near the wall could be used to teleport back upwards.[2]

Whether the presence of a Hammer Haunt, Zombies and "keeper" statues indicates the Hammers', Keepers' or Pagans' involvement in building or protecting the tombs is never revealed.

Attempted Thefts[]

Several attempts had been made to steal the two artifacts from the Bonehoard, but none had been successful until Garrett took them.[1] Before Garrett, Adolpho had entered the Bonehoard in the hopes of finding the Mystic's Soul. Unfortunately he was killed by a pressure trap while attempting to acquire Fire Arrows necessary to enter the room containing the soul.[4] Marcus, from Felix's crew possibly hoped to find the Mystic's Soul, but was killed before he could investigate.[5] An unknown thief (possibly Dranko) attempted to locate the more valuable Mystic's Heart. He knew that it was beyond a hall of statues, and although he found a hall of statues, it was not the one he had been seeking. Upon attempting to leave through the only exit, he realized he had become trapped by Burricks below the chamber, and he eventually died there.[6]
