Crafted by the one they are named after, and said to only be three in existence, the Torcs of Maen Grirngrim have the fell power of absorbing the essence of the wearer when they perish. A storage vessel, it could then be used to revive the wearer at a later time by transferring their essence into a clone or magical device, giving it sentience. Somewhere along the line, the items were misused, allowing the Torc wearer to use the knowledge of the previous owners and some of their former powers.
A Torc of Maen Grirngrim is made of a substance that wavers in and out of reality, just like the material used in the Helas Vessels. The centerpiece of each torc is an orb holding a bit of its maker. When Maen Grirngrim was killed by the Golden Seven, a part of him went into each of these torcs.
The Torc Wars were waged for possession of these three artifacts. The Horgon Confederacy (159 HE - 537 HE) , established as a confederacy by the torc owners, a joint way of protecting the Saints of Maen.
With the help of their torcs, the last Saints of Maen, Krak-Oth, Neld-Rac, and Rioch Tetrax became Highers Powers. Their torc interfered with the Asenscion, each was marked, stripped of blood and life energy, two turned into undead and one made a Shade.
