Also known as the Philosopher Stone, Maleficarum and the Alchemist Stone, the Quint Essentia is a sample of an unidentified element valued for its effects on magic, increasing its potency exponentially.
Rosette's Stone
The alchemist Rosette, a member of the Exodus, wielded the Quint Essentia in his magic. Rosette speculated that before he had acquired it, the Quint Essentia was used to create three of the other members of the Fellowship: Shariq the Golem, Fang the Werewolf, and Xorn the Naga.
The Arcciphers
Somewhere in history, the Quint Essentia became divided in two. The originally white stone became a blue gem known as the Order Arccipher and a red gem known as the Chaos Arccipher. The former would come to be wielded by Aeron Abernathy on his quest to rescue Princess Threnody. The latter came to be embedded in a blade "haunted" by Aeon Digeros. It would be wielded by the future Dienaran sheriff, Lazarus and later fall into the hands of the Shrouder, Sjaxem.
Restoration
During the events of Threnody for the Dawn, the Order and Chaos Arcciphers were brought together to remake the Quint Essentia in a ritual to resurrect Zybil, founder of the Order of Raiden.
