“ Born in the all-consuming darkness, seven valiant heroes gave an oath to return the light to the cursed land. ”

― Sunny,
Chapter 281 Seven Heroes

Shard Memories are unique to Forgotten Shore. They contained the keys to seal the cursed sea.[1]

Shard Memory weaves were distinct from ordinary one, possessing unique qualities like the ability to remain in existence after the owner's death, or the hidden purpose of manifesting the Oath Keys after all seven had been gathered in one place.[2]

Lore

First Lord
First Lord

First Lord

The founders of the Starlight Legion (or the seven heroes) were described as beings born in the all-consuming darkness. The heroes were long gone, but their terrible oath still remains, preserved in cold steel. It was not the memory of the oath that remained but the Shards were that Memory. The Terror of the Crimson Spire had beheaded the statues of its creators and brought their heads to guard the entrance to its lair. The seven seals that kept the all-consuming darkness locked underground came undone, but they weren't destroyed. If one had all the keys, it is possible to seal the cursed sea once again. That was what the seven heroes had left behind.[3]
