The stone
This Nexi stone gives one the power of a god, therefore the Elpis was split into Fragments

History
Most of the legends say the Elpis was the stone that the God of Hope used to create all the Nexi stones. All the Nexi were buried deep in the earth so people would learn to work hard for their rewards, and to rely on divine powers in their daily lives.

Where the Elpis was found and who found it is very unclear. When it was in the hands of a benevolent ruler, the people in the land lived without suffering or fear—the world was a paradise, if you will. But when a cruel, self-serving ruler used the Elpis, the entire continent fell into ruin. In some sources, it is said that the Elpis could be used to kill hundreds of people in a single instant.

Eventually a man—some say the first king of Fiefs—managed to obtain the Elpis and break it into pieces. It’s been hundreds of years since anyone has used an Elpis, because the fragments have been hidden away... far, far away from one another.

Again, the stories of how the stone was broken vary, Some say the first king of Fiefs and a council of thirty-one alchemists managed to concoct a liquid that would break the stone apart into a hundred pieces once dipped in it. Others say a powerful Elf, Eigni, Human, and Vampire each sacrificed his or her life, enacting an ancient spell powerful enough to break the Elpis into four pieces. And one interesting tale describes the king summoning the ghost of a giant narwhal, which stabbed the stone into two halves with its tusk.

Haders - Anti-Elpis weaponry
Based on research of ancient texts, Haders were created centuries ago, designed to be used by specialists in order to fight against wicked rulers who used the Elpis. When many of them are gathered together, it is believed their power would rival that of the full Elpis.

Information about the Haders is difficult to come by, Most texts that mention them are either in an ancient elvish or Eigni language. It would appear the minds behind the Haders' inception didn't want the world at large to know of these weapons. Most are likely lost, but there may be people out there who have one. One could imagine why they wouldn't want people to find out the source of their power.
