Abyssal Shards

Essences of the plane itself, Abyssal Shards are fragments of the Abyss that were scattered across the Prime Material Plane during the Dark Gods ascent. Powerful magical items, these shards contain the raw chaotic power of the Abyss. They can be used in a variety of ways, and historically were used by Demon Lords to open portals to the Prime Material Plane during the Demonic Incursion. However, their main purpose is in the creation of Divine Relics, powerful magical items blessed by a deity.
