I need some help with a homebrew campaign I'm developing, as I don't know many relics or ancient powerful weapons in DnD. Before I go down the rabbit hole of making my own i thought I'd ask what's out there.

Current plot (unless PCs screw it up)
PCs are in full mine/cave dive, my plan is to one way or another stumble across Myconids (subject to change) in a stand off with a spellcaster of some sort. Not sure if this guy will be the baddy or part of the group stopping the baddy, but I want him to attempt to make off with a relic the Myconids defend as part of an ancient truce (to which they've forgotten the details)
If I go the route of this is a good guy, I was thinking it would be part of a set of relics to counter the baddy. Any thoughts on what it could be? My thought was an elemental essence of earth and my PCs would collect the remaining elements on different planes.
If it's a bad guy, it could obviously be a piece of an ancient weapon hes collecting or means to summon something. Anything come to mind?
