Atlantean Scion

The Atlantean Scion was an immensely powerful artifact that was believed to hold the powers of God. It was divided into three pieces, which were split between the Atlantean Triumvirate. The Scion held the collected memories of the people of Atlantis -- and when put together, it would impart visions from that ancient past. More powerfully still, the Scion could be used to create new, if twisted, lifeforms. It was for this latter purpose that Natla abused the artifact -- crafting an army of mutants to take over Atlantis and force any Atlanteans who were able to fight to become strong.

Afterwards, Natla's piece of the Scion was hidden in the Egyptian city of Khamoon. When Tihocan and Qualopec died, their pieces would go on to be buried with them in their tombs in Greece and Peru respectively.

Once Natla was freed from imprisonment in 1945 CE, she began searching for the three pieces of the Scion in earnest. Believing she had located one piece in Peru in 2020 CE, she hired Lara Croft to retrieve it. Lara succeeded in recovering the piece of the Scion, only to have Natla's hired gun Larson attempt to kill Lara to take it. She survived and -- realizing she'd been double-crossed -- set out to retrieve the other two pieces herself. After finding the third piece in Egypt, however, Natla ambushed her and took the artifact -- bringing it to the ruined Atlantis in order to recreate her mutant army and attempt to take over the world.

Lara pursued her, however, and managed to damage the Scion by shooting it. As she defeated Natla, the Scion broke apart. Lara later returned to the destroyed ruins and salvaged the pieces to display in Croft Manor.
