As the first vote on 'other' all I have to say is:

Where the hell's my Bringer of Doom?

heh

It brought doom upon itself and was destroyed. What did you expect? ;-)

Funnily enough, I'm currently running a Codex IP adventure.

Cheers!

Haven't most of these already been the subject of adventures?

Mace of Cuthbert--"The City beyond the Gate" in Dragon #100

Crook of Rao--"Isle of the Ape"

Hand & Eye of Vecna--"Vecna Lives," "Vecna Reborn," and "Die, Vecna, Die!"

Sword of Kas--see Vecna modules

Cup & Talisman of Al'Akbar--wasn't there a module called "Day of Al'Akbar?"

Rod of 7 Parts--"The Rod of 7 Parts."

Don't recall anything on the Orbs or the Codex, though.

I alway thought the mighty servant of Luek-o would be interesting. Perhaps a tie into the apparatus to kawalish.

The codex is in an adventure in the new Epic Level Handbook.

I personally prefer the crystal of ebon flame: It sounds quite linked to the mythology of the triad of the elder gods, particularly Tharizdun, and as such has always be underrated.
For more inspiration about the crystal refer to the short story "Ubbo-Sathla" by Clarck Asthon Smith.

In second choice, I would have voted for the Codex of Infinite Planes, a relic of great power, also linked to ancient history. Again, there is very few official information about the Tome beside 1st. edition DMG.

The Cup & Talisman (now featured in the ELH) are mentioned quite often in my undersea campaign, "Beneath the Pinnacles of Azor'alq", as the midnight hag Xaetra now holds the cup. Granted, she is now a spectral hag, having been slain by a covey of her own offspring. One of the new powers of the cup/talisman combo is resurrection. Xaetra will be most interested in that.

As for other artifacts, how about the Tovag Baragu?

My first vote would be the Codex. Involve the Isles of Woe and the deep undersea of the Nyr Dyv.
Second, i remember reading in the Oerth journals the Suel timeline...it was great...how about the great "Binders", those were hugely powerful. Maybe someone found one while traveling in the sea of dust and brought one back!

what about the "Ring of Gaxx?"
Seems that there could be a great story there and i don't recall ANY info that was produced after the items introduction into the book of artifacts or the first ed. DMG?...

Mighty Servant of Leuk-O!

Of course, I always pictured Voltron as the Mighty Servant of Leuk-O...
