Instead, he took it to the Order's citadel and used it to kill Pianna, the human leader of the Order on Otaria. Kirtar took the artifact with the intention of destroying it, but it soon corrupted him with promises of glory. However, it was instead claimed by Lieutenant Kirtar of the Order as a reward for his role in defending Cabal City from a dragon attack. It was there that Kamahl first saw the Mirari and became obsessed with it. However, Chainer instead decided it was only fit for the Cabal's leader to own and so presented it as a gift to the First, who put it in the Cabal's coffers as a prize in the upcoming three-day tournament. The Mirari was found by Chainer in an old mansion, where it called to the young cabalist with promises of power. He took it to his artificial plane, Argentum, where he used it as the core of the golem he created as the plane's guardian, Memnarch. It initiated a devastating cycle of warfare and magical disasters across Otaria before it was retrieved by its creator, Karn, who had only intended for it to be a probe. Another effect it had was that it caused intense longing in those that saw it, causing many individuals to become obsessed with owning it. However, the Mirari also inevitably caused disaster to strike the bearer, usually leading to their death. The word “mirari” was an ancient word for a fantastic wish-granting artifact and the Mirari certainly matched that description, tapping into its wielder's desires and making them real.
