However, a moral quandary soon ensued: given how important some of these dangerous items are in fictional history, should they not be presented to the public freely, and to what extent, since some of them are the express property of a Pantheon deity? To solve this, items that pass a security check[[note]]i.e. not dangerous enough to be put under constant lock and key, and are safe at close proximity to the general population[[/note]] are displayed in the Treasury Museum above ground. This helped identify items worth showing to the general Pantheon populace and get rid of white elephants that were once clogging up the Treasury space; that said, some of those "white elephant" Treasures are still inside, they're just not officially listed here in order to keep their security. Any Treasure being processed is subject to such security checks, and on a case-by-case basis. At times, mildly dangerous items are very rarely rotated out of the Treasury for display in the lower-restricted parts of the Museum.

My headcanon is that the Kong Banana Hoard is one of these uncatalogued Treasures.

With the rising number of Treasures and museum pieces added, an expansion was made to the House and so has been split into various Halls based on their function and appearance as tropes are not necessary for these items as opposed to characters and places. Similarly, a treasure classification system has been implemented to ascertain the dangers of a fictional artifact and whether it is necessary to contain in the deepest parts of the Vault, especially Sandbox/MaximumSecurity, separated by floor levels with 1 being the lowest and 3, 4, 5 being the most secure. A new format for Treasures have also been formed to create a quota for a certain item of notability to be brought for observation.

'''The Treasures of the Gods'''

Otherwise known as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Vault]], the Great Treasury is the Pantheon's answer to items deemed worthy of keeping, be it [[MacGuffin those tangentially linked to a story]], fame (or infamy) born from popularity or bearing unique traits from your usual inanimate objects. Including certain objects being added within the Pantheon, a facility was needed to curate and secure these items to ensure that none fell into the wrong hands. Thus the Great Treasury was created, meant to house items that Pantheon deities brought either for showcase or for protection.

Below ground, security is tight as the Treasury houses some of the most dangerous items from some fictional worlds. Following a new range range of A.I testbeds, various groups volunteering for Treasury security and subsequent background checks, only a select few deities are given access to the Treasury's highest security clearance, lead by the House of Pantheon/{{Defense}}. The A.I spots now have a shared role with 3 candidates: [[Pantheon/GamingGenresAToM General Fletcher]], [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} GLaDOS]] and [[Pantheon/AIPersonalities The Machine]]. Fletcher has access to weapons systems that are guarding the Treasures, the Machine is in charge of surveillance and [=GLaDOS=] handles the entrances and various locomotive functions in the area from trains to elevators. The latter has garnered disdain from working with multiple entities [[TeethClenchedTeamwork but has accepted it regardless]]. Meanwhile, manpower is shared by various officials from the House of Defense with some organizations taking initiative in protecting the Treasury, that being the case with the SCP Foundation, which to some is found to be too on-the-nose when it comes to Treasury Security. Nonetheless, the improved security has made the House a pseudo-fortress of sorts, making even the most experienced thieves struggling to find an opening.

[[folder:Treasure Classification System]]
* '''Class 6''': '''No known notable effects''' directly caused by it, in the Treasury for symbolic importance or other reasons, safe for use. Any Treasure that is otherwise an ordinary object that can technically be found in the real world.
* '''Class 5''': Capable of '''affecting an individual''' in some form or another, such as through giving them superhuman abilities, inducing memory loss, or killing them. Any corrosive type of weapon, trinket or strong material is given this designation.
* '''Class 4''': Capable of causing a '''localized group''' of people or an entire settlement to be heavily affected, effects (positive or negative) can spread further if left unchecked, bearing the risk of becoming a Class 3 threat. Several side effects include mild [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] effects.
* '''Class 3''': Can affect '''society on a large-scale''', cause complete structural and societal collapse of a species or mass environmental effects. This can range from destroying a city (Godzilla-levels of damage) to the mass enlightenment of the human species. The treasure, in this case, is likely to have [[RealityWarper reality-bending]] effects.
* '''Class 2''': Treasures capable of affecting '''planet-wide effects''', at most an entire galaxy, such as through the destruction of a planet or terraforming a planet into metal or waste material. Galaxy-wise, this can also abound from the complete freezing of a galaxy in time or [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor transferring it into a pocket universe]]. Basically, the effects can range from planetary to stellar to galactic-scale. Expect treasures from this point to be considered extremely powerful, if not the most powerful, objects in their home universe.
* '''Class 1''': Reality warping objects capable of causing positive or negative effect to '''an entire universe'''. These artifacts are almost always full-on {{Reality Warper}}s, able to cause universe-ending events such as plunging it into blackness or galaxy-wide genocide. Objects affecting the flow of abstract concepts or traverse it such as time machines and dimensional travel portals are considered Class 1, no matter how benevolent or [[PlayedForLaughs confusing]] they may seem, due to the inherent dangers they present.
* '''Class 0''': Reality warping objects capable of affecting '''an entire multiverse''' and at worst (or possibly best, depending on the nature of the object), '''the entire fictional Omniverse'''. Only a few objects are capable of causing such effects on the cosmic scale, and are almost always reserved for Maximum Security. This may likely be brought about by representing an abstract concept of creation or having no otherwise stated limits in their respective stories.
* Some notes:
** Being a Class 5 artifact does not denote that it is weak or insignificant compared to the others. This merely means that their effect is limited to one individual or their effects are less impactful on the cosmic state of the universe.
** Since the SCP Foundation is in charge of documenting the Treasures in the Vault, the Treasures are also listed by the Foundation's object classes, though only with their primary classification. Class 6 objects are equivalent to Safe-class [=SCPs=], Class 4 and 5 objects are equivalent to Euclid-class [=SCPs=] and Class 1 to 3 objects are equivalent to Keter-class [=SCPs=]. Due to the constantly changing nature of some Treasures, this is not a hard and fast rule.
