	Games - List of major artifacts in Dungeons & Dragons

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, magic items are common. However, some items are crafted by gods, fiends, or powerful wizards or clerics to be more permanent and potent than more ordinary magic items. These items are called artifacts.

Major artifacts are generally unique and exist for a specific purpose. Less powerful or potent artifacts, or ones that are not unique, are generally called minor artifacts.
