As I recall, I made an artifact that, by my origin, served as the originator of the "Holy Grail" myth, the Cauldron of Annwn. I never did add anything additional to it. I should do that eventually.

I could see the Knights Templar being one of those secretive organizations that's not really an enemy of the Warehouse, but they have their own interests that are sometimes counter to that of the Warehouse. In the case of them holding the Astrolabe, I think that they were holding it for an event in which there was no chance of recovery AND a chance that twenty-four hours would allow one person to make a change that would save everyone (there might be more criteria to meet, but those are the main two I can think of). In the case of the Warehouse being destroyed and the world losing hope, it didn't meet the first criteria. Yes, the world was in turmoil. But there wasn't an impossible chance of recovery. We don't know exactly when Pandora's Box was created, but I would venture a guess to say it's not nearly as old as humanity itself, which means we've existed with hope long before it became an artifact. That being said, it is likely that after an indeterminate amount of time, people will regain hope and society would recover.
