Editing Eyes of Baleros (Relics) (section)

== History ==
The Eyes of Baleros were relics owned by the [[Nagas]], particularly those of the [[Jungle Tails]]. They were a notable part of the Nagatine Empire's power, and considered one of the legendary treasures of the world. Whenever they are lost, the Nagas are very invested in re-obtaining them, and other powers just as invested in keeping them out of their hands, and so wars have been fought over them. They used the Eyes to expulse the [[Lucifen]] from [[Baleros]].<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/01/interlude-stories/ Interlude - Stories]</ref>

The Eyes would be stolen by [[Thivian Stormless]], the Lightning Thief, in what would be remembered as one of his most famous adventures.

One of the Eyes is being guarded by the [[Gazers|Gazer]] Great Company, the Eyes of Baleros, so that the Nagas do not regain possession of them.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/04/interlude-trade-and-travel/ Interlude - Trade and Travel]</ref> The other Eye was in the possession of the city of [[Manus]], until it was stolen by the [[Antinium]] during the [[First Antinium War]]. It was stolen when [[Devrkr]] melted through a vault they guarded and took it, [[Xrn]] then used it to power the preservation enchantments on their food stores.

[[Bviora Stormless]] planed to steal [[Klbkch]]'s swords and ransom them in exchange for the one of the Eyes, to win the inheritance of the Lightning Thief, her great-grandfather.<ref name=":0" /> She and [[Vetn]] stole one sword, though the Antinium were initially unaware whether they had it. After the [[Grand Queen]] was informed, she considered trading it for the sword, potentially letting the Nagas reclaim it and plunging Baleros into chaos.<ref name=":2" />

The Eye was traded to the [Thieves] through a [[Persua Mavva|City Runner]], and then were chased by a vengeful [[Klbkch]] and agents of the Walled Cities, with [[Tesy]] interfering with the pursuing parties. At Covieke, the pair managed to escape Izril with the Eye onboard a Drowned ship, thanks to [[Cauwine]] intercepting Klbkch. However, a final attack from [[Symphony]] seriously wounded them, costing Vetn an arm and killing Bviora.<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/19/9-65/ Chapter 9.65]</ref>
