During our journeys through the various zones/shadows we have encountered various pop culture references. Myself and I believe others thought these were just in jokes of the powers that be. Recent events seems to indicate that this may not be the case and there is more to it. We have seen people interested in collecting items relating to these pop culture references. Not sure at this stage if it is someone who is a fanboi and wants a collection or if the items being collected are some sort of talismanic focuses, could be used for some sort of ritual or for some other purpose.
As such thought it would be useful to compile a list of those we are aware of. I'll start off with the ones I know and if people can post ones I've missed, I'll update the list.
