The intricately carved wooden Chest has haunted me my entire life. It’s a brittle-looking box with the Loric symbol on its side...

The Loric Chest or 'Inheritance' is an item that is given to the Loric children who were chosen to become the next generation of Elders and travel to Earth to escape the Mogadorian Invasion. The chest contains items that are tied in to each Garde's Legacies as well as items that will eventually jump-start Lorien, known as Phoenix Stones.

Description

It is described as being the size of a microwave oven, it's almost perfectly square, and is a foot and a half wide by a foot and a half long. They are brittle looking wooden boxes with Loric carvings.

There is a padlock on the front of the chest, with no visible keyhole. The lock is protected with a Loric Charm, that makes the chest impervious to damage.

The contents in the Loric Chest differ from Garde to Garde.

Loric Charm

Chest1

Like the Garde themselves, the chests were placed under a charm which makes them impenetrable and impervious to damage.

Only a Garde and their Cêpan can open their Loric Chest. It can only be opened when they are together, and only after the Garde's first Legacy has appeared. By each of them placing their palm on one side of the lock, and interlocking their fingers, the chest opens. If the Garde's Cêpan were to die, the Garde would be able to open it without their Cêpan.

While it is said that if the Garde were to die their chest would open and the contents would disintegrate, conflicting statements from Henri indicate that the chest would, in fact, be eternally locked. Indeed, upon the death of Number One (seen by Adamus Sutekh) and Number Eight, their chests remain shut.
