Zohar (XS)

The Zohar, also known as the Original Zohar, is a key component of the story in the Xenosaga series. Described as "a source of infinite energy", acquisition of this mysterious golden artifact is a source of dispute between multiple factions.

The Original Zohar is not to be confused with the 13 Zohar Emulators, 12 of which were created by Joachim Mizrahi and one by Sellers.

Appearance
The Original Zohar is a large golden rectangular slab with two short trapezoidal arms a third of the way from the top causing it to appear cross-like in shape. A glowing turquoise gem is centered between the arms and surrounded by an intricate design.

History
The Zohar was excavated in 20XX at Lake Turkana in Kenya by a group of scientists led by Dr. Masuda.
