They had seen it near the start of the campaign but were unable to get near it.I would not EVER allow an item as powerful as the one you are suggesting to get into the hands of low level characters.  Such items will exist, but they will have powerful Guardians, or be in the hands of high level NPCs, or in the depths of the most treacherous and deadly of Tombs.</blockquote>
