History

The Wedged Key belongs to a class of Shaper ruins called Shaper keys. These are some of the most common types of ruins found all over Coda. Keys are painted on the walls of caves, as if these structures have been a subject of worship. It is thought to be fragments that make up Shaper spines, but remains unconfirmed.

Some people believe the Wedged Key to be an anzu place of worship, but it remains inconclusive as of 468 LV.

In 468 LV, a painting of such a key is prominently seen on the walls of the underground Scar Nest, simply known as the Temple of Scar.
