Seven Treasures of Camelot

From Barbelith

These are:

• Gwydion the Merlin, the living book, as revealed in Zatanna 4

• The Undry Cauldron, capable of healing any injury, as revealed in Shining Knight 3 -- and whose waters run through the veins of Melmoth, as revealed in Frankenstein 1.

• Excalibur, the sword of Aurthur (and of Aurakles), seen in Shining Knight.

• PegaZeus, the ancestor of the flying horse Vanguard, as mentioned in Shining Knight 2.

• The all-knowing Fatherbox

I'm going to speculate that this is the same as the Foundation Stone,
a.k.a. Croatoan, an AI in the form of two dice.

• The Hammer

• The Spear

In Seven Soldiers 1, the Seventh Treasure is described as "the hushed an profane secret
of that enchanted spear which can carry death across time and strike a target many millenia away...
...whose name is both love and vengeance."  We have also been told that Alix Harrower,
the last descendant of the Earth's first superhero, is the "Spear that Never was Thrown."
The Spear is Aurakles' bloodline, passed down throught the generations, leading to the 
moment when his last descendant kills his greatest enemy.

The Seven Treasures are first mentioned in Shining Knight 3. The identity of the Seven Treasures is fully revealed in Seven Soldiers 1.
