Primordial Chaos Vessel item lore: “Three currents of Sha-Chi still linger within this vessel, endlessly entwined, endlessly waxing and waning. Memories of days past have been discarded here as well. Back then, Steel wasn't yet so dominant, Chaos not yet so withdrawn, and Frost not yet so neurotic. The three of them trained together and got into trouble together, turning the whole sect upside down. Their master always took their side, saying the three of them balanced one another, and the noise was half the point.”
In-game description and combat role
