I am sure that you have heard of Warehouse 23 by Steve Jackson Games and the TV show Warehouse 13 and the TV movies(and TV show) of The Librarian and The Library, all of which are filled with legendary artifacts and mythological objects from throughout history. Also items that were associated with famous and infamous people throughout history and more.
I was thinking we should have something like that of our own and I have an idea of how I want to organize it. But what should we call it? Warehouse and The Library have been used and not just for Fantasy but for tons of things - Google it.
I would like to use something that a current Google search would bring up nothing or at least nothing fantasy related, so that it will be a unique search.
I have tossed up a few items in a poll so please vote if you like one of them or post your suggestion. If you like one of the new suggestions in the thread but not in the poll, then vote for the new suggestion.

Since we are talking about Legendary Items, how about "The Lake" and you can have items found in "The Lake" being described by "The Lady of the Lake"

Wow! These are hard to choose from, I like "Catacomb '74" a lot, although "Frosthelm's Hoard" and "The Treasure Cache" are up there too. But I also find "The Lake" curated by "The Lady of the Lake" by bobzilla and "The Factorium" by hengest appealing as well. However, Factorium is a educational company in the Netherlands so I have to give a bit of an edge to "The Lake" in the suggestion column. Now the "Lockbox" I would rename as "The Perilous Lockbox" or "The Lockbox of Perils".

Also posted for me at MeWe are these: The Veiled Vault - Judd Goswick The Redoubt - Doc Shaw from The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson Athenaeum and Bibliotheca - Anthony Hargis - (Anthenaeum used in the names of libraries or institutions for literary or scientific study) & (Bibliotheca a library or collection of books ) Bibliotheca Imperial - Doc Shaw (Imperial relating to an empire) File 13 and the X Files - Anthony Emmel and another vote for Catacomb '74 Also another idea these generated for me was The Last Redoubt or The Final Repository.

Crossing over with my Final Redoubt musing: “Bibliotheca Imperial Final” or “BIF” for short. - Doc Shaw Thank you, does that translate to The Ultimate Imperial Library? - theperilousdreamer That works; more poetic than translating straight to “final imperial library”. - Doc Shaw More poetically; “library of the final empire” - Doc Shaw Now that sounds more like a ruin. - Anthony Hargis That could be explored by adventures. Who then discover the final vault and the immortal librarian, who then charges these braves to go out and collect the lost and scattered fragments of the black omega collection. - Doc Shaw If you're making your own version 'The Archive' or '<Name's> Archive' could be descriptive. Then again 'Fibber McGee's Closet' has the old school feel. - Robert Tharp

Several good ones.
I was thinking something like "The Libram Exotica" or so...

I will run it again, if people post a bunch of suggestions for people to choose between. Also when I start it instead of choosing one, how about your top three and rank them in a post too.

Also when I start it instead of choosing one, how about your top three and rank them in a post too. Good idea! After that, we could narrow it down to the top 3 choices and do a poll where we pick the best one.

Just call it "Legendary Artifact Storage Place" and leave it at that.

Warehouse 23 by Steve Jackson If you follow various link there are random generators that generate items. This is a list that was published or shared a long time ago, but I don't have a copy and am not sure if it is still available or not.
