Artefacts of the Ages

Doing first draft of the "Tale of Cassandra" made me wonder whatever happened to the Artefacts of the Ages?

Rowena still has the Blade of the Ages, and I know Jayem declined both the Amulet and the Girdle of the Ages, but I didn’t note who got what. And I am a bit curious as to how powerful those became with their power increasing with that of those that had them. I don’t regret Jayem keeping his Elven Pirate Belt instead of the Girdle and deciding against either stopping wearing his Holy Symbol or merging the Amulet into it but I do wonder how much more “nifty” those and the other artefacts became and who they became “nifty” for.

Seamus still has the Mantle of the ages (cloak). It's basically the same power as regular battle bands (10 DR against physical damage). It's only been updated once, so I guess it still technically has a 'final form' waiting in the wings.

Aria didn't actually receive one of the actual artifacts themselves, but she received a gift from the Aseir. It is a Rose and I think I posted the description under the "Neatest DM Reward" thread (or whatever it was called as I can't remember off the top of my head).

I uh. Don't recall if Varian had one or not. I think he might have?

I think he did, but I don't remember which one. There were 9 of them if I remember correctly.

Ten.

Blade (Rowena / ?)
Mantle (Seamus / after one update 10/- physical resistance)
Amulet (? / ?)
Shield (? / initially 5/- elemental resistance)
Girdle (? / initially +1 STR & +1 CON)
Ring (Gildan / + CHA & CON)
Gauntlets (? / ?)
Boots (? / ?)
Robe (Soleis / Spell Resistance 14 or 16 & +3 CHA)
Hood (? / ?)

And just to make things clear the first "?" is the one I am more curious about. If you have one and don't want to say what it can do (which seems more common in the Legendary Items thread, I did it myself) then that is fine.

EDIT: Added information.

I believe that is the event where Jenai recieved her Dragon mark. She wouldnt trade it for all the world .

Gildan has the ring. I'll log in and check what it does exactly, but I think it gives extra charisma and stamina. ICly it makes him look a bit younger than he is, and may prolong his life, which is a good thing as he's now in his mid-80's. I'm pretty sure it's been updated once.

Soleis has the robe. It started as spell resistance of like 14 or 16, and got upgraded to plus 3 charisma. It was merged with Sol's holy robes of Sune, and he still wears it as his main outfit.
