Orb of Destruction

The enigmatic Orb of Destruction  is an ancient artifact of immense power that has the power to open or close massive Tears in The Veil or grant unexpecting users the power to release or seal Fade Rifts upon command. It was used by the Elder One in his attempt to enter the Black City to become a god that would rule over all of Thedas.

Involvement
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Orb makes its first appearance in the Elder One's attack on Haven.

It is last seen in the final battle when the Herald of Andraste steals the Orb from the Elder One and uses it to seal the Breach once more.

Trivia

 * Shortly after the weakened Inquisition finishes singing "The Dawn Will Come" (begun by Mother Giselle), Solas informs the Herald of Andraste that the orb used in the attack on Haven was in fact of elven origin.
 * In the post epilogue cutscene, Flemeth tells Solas that he "should not have given the Orb to Corypheus" shortly after his awakening.
