The Special Antiquities Collection Division was a Division created under the [[Lech Security Service]] (LSS) by Director [[A. Tyler]] and Agent [[Cecil Rhodes]]. The goal of this division was to collect rare religious artifacts from around [[San Amaro]] and [[Viridis]].

=== The Ark of the Covenant ===

The Ark of the Covenant was discovered in the walls of the Hagia Sophia in [[Malta]]. The Special Antiquities Collection Division heard rumors of the Ark of the Covenant being stored in Malta by [[Pope]] [[Pius XIV]], and did an investigation of the most important landmarks in Malta. While investigating the Hagia Sophia, a small hole in the wall was discovered towards the back left corner of the interior when a snake crawled out of the hole and revealed the wall was hollow. Agent Rhodes, [[Vice Chancellor]] Kamenev, and Director Tyler began to carefully excavate the Ark and transported it to a secret location to study and document the discovery. The Ark is now displayed at the Vindex Nation [[National Archives and Records Administration]] museum.

=== The Sankara Stones ===

The Sankara Stones were discovered on the Island of Hakuna. Agent Rhodes had recently taken a trip to [[Hakuna]] to study the locals and their traditions. When Agent Rhodes talked to a local Shaman, it was discovered that according to legend, five stones were given to Sankara (A Hakunan Native) by the Hakunan Gods on the volcano, along with the message that he should go forth and battle evil with them. The stones contained diamonds inside, which would glow when the stones were brought together, as a way to recount the legend of the emerging from the fiery pillar. The diamonds could give warmth and life, but the stones could also be used for fiery destruction for those who betrayed the gods. An expedition to Hakuna ensued, with Agent Rhodes, Director Tyler, Prince of Malta and then [[Chancellor of Lech]] [[Brody McLallen]], and [[Lech Minister of Foreign Affairs|Minister of Foreign Affairs]] [[Ardant du Picq]]. The stones were hidden deep within the cave beneath their bank, filled with lava, parkour, and traps to ensure nobody could easily access them. All 5 of the stones were recovered by the Special Antiquities Collection Division and transported back to the [[Lech|Empire of Lech]], where their location today is only known by the LSS.
