- Location: Synlius in Fort Shantaari
- Materials: Mithril
- Damage Types: Slashing
- Restrictions:
- Size: Nine twentieths of a dimin wide and thirteen dimins long
- Extras:
- Description:
The handle of this ancient mithril battleaxe is worn and smooth, but the blade has remained incredibly sharp. Faint, unreadable symbols mark the base of the weapon. You recognize this as the Axe of Dunbar. The worn symbols are the marks of dwarven smiths, but their fading makes it difficult to tell the exact origins of the axe. Legend places it at least as old as the Cleansing War, which took place nearly six hundred years ago.
Blackheart
- Type: Battleaxe
- Location: Kham in Togrek
- Materials: Adamantite
- Damage Types: Slashing
- Restrictions:
- Size: Eleven twentieths of a dimin wide and twelve and a half dimins long
- Extras:
- Description:
A light, agile battleaxe of black adamantite with strange runes inlaid into the surface of its head in ruby. Along the handle appears to be more conventional script, this simply etched into the metal. Its pommel is a smooth obsidian hemisphere that glows with a ghostly opalescence. The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent. You recognize this as Blackheart, the weapon famed as the slayer of the elflord Cetelias Donaquin.

- Extras: Has stun discharge.
- Description:
This is an exquisitely-crafted battleaxe forged from sky blue adamantite. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. It is constructed in a style that blends organic curvature with mechanical precision, creating an almost insect-like quality to it. It is encompassed in a transparent globe of soft, silvery light. This is one of the Wayfarer's cannon, a melee weapon imbued with leximantic magicks that enable a wielder properly aligned with ordered forces to fire blasts of energy. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more nefarious order-imbued artifacts. You recognize this as Edgewild, the battleaxe used by Ein, father of Karth, against the minions of Ahrikol when the Lupines were in their infancy and struggling to gain a foothold. It is said that the Wayfarer worked meteoric iron into the weapon, binding bits of reified stratosphere into its essence. The blade shines with the harsh glare of an open sky. It is permeated by a dim silvery light.
Thalgan Kor

The long, thick handle is made from carved black steel with braided metallic cords offering a harsh, yet firm, grip. Zeal was forged several centuries ago by Alphaks as a gift to his most devoted warrior, the bane of thousands of his enemies. Smiths wrought this fervent malice into the fearsome weapon, permeating it with an insatiable bloodlust. Zeal's voracity is rumoured to exceed that of any bearer since.

This is a longbow made of mithril. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. When the Kinslayer War raged millenia ago between the corrupt elves of Nibenay and the alliance of elven civilizations which rose against them, the first and most tragic casualty was the kind-hearted and well-beloved Prince Laridan of Mynaecelani, treacherously slain by Vandyron of Nibenay while pursuing a mission of peace between the nations. Laridan's betrothed, Illyana, a woman greatly skilled in both war and sorcery, crafted in her bereavement the enchanted bow called Illyana's Rage, instilling it with her anger and anointing it with her tears. It is said that the weapon's magick will not rest until the last descendant of Nibenay is dust.

The spherical head is covered in dozens of sharpened razor tipped spikes half a dimin in length. Its pommel has several strips of soft black leather twisted ornately across the markings, providing the wielder with a sturdy grip. Var Kunai, also called The Shadow of the Everburning Flame, is a beautifully sculpted mace. Forged by the elves and dwarves in a combined effort long ago to maintain the balance.

One end has been carved into the likeness of a sleeping dragon's head, its eyes sealed shut as if oblivious to everything. You recognize it as the artifact known as Zrael. Legend has it that Zrael was once actually an ancient dragon of awesome power who had learned to travel through time and space. The creature used this, not to accumulate power as some would have, but to acquire knowledge of other worlds and distant planes which were once unattainable. Zrael aquired histories and lore beyond anything seen before, but such things led eventually to her doom, though few facts are known of how this actually occured. A prominent mage of the time was said to have created this rod from pieces of the dragon's own bone and infused it with the essence of Zrael herself, though few have ever been known to have the will to use the rod's powers for their own wishes.

Quantum
- Type Dagger
- Location Mok A'tal
- Materials Iron
- Damage Type
- Restrictions
- Size Three fifths of a dimin wide and seven and thirteen twentieths dimins long
- Extras Used as a turn-in for travelers.
- Description:
This is an iron spike just above two dimins in length. Though it could be employed as a weapon, it would seem to be rather unwieldy. You know it to be Quantum, a curious device of clearly alien origins. It first appeared within the realm of Lost Souls less than a decade ago and since has passed through the hands of over a dozen of the world's most intuitive sages. For years, nothing could be gleaned about the spike until the Mad Artificer, Leonid of Devonshire, chanced upon it while visiting with Ravlin Tormuk. Fascinated by the untapped power he sensed within the object, Leonid nonchalantly secreted it away in one of his trouser pockets. Nestled in his hidden laboratory, he studied the spike at length until his interest began to fade. In a last effort to understand the nature of the alien artifact, he shoved it beneath his pillow as he lay down to sleep. Though he had tried many times in the past to learn about such mysterious items as the spike through osmosis, he had yet to succeed. By some unknown design, he did in fact succeed with Quantum. As he slept, all the secrets of the spike flowed into his subconscious mind. He awoke the next morning and with pen in hand, sat down to record all he had learned. He stretched as he completed his task, and keeping true to form, caught the ink pot with a clumsy swing of his arm, spilling ink across his freshly penned scrolls. Leonid left the ruined parchments where they sat soaking up ink in disgust. When he returned two days later, only three words remained -- and these were scarcely legible. The words, as passed along with the story of Leonid's antics, are: Quantum, which Leonid assures is the spike's proper name, and los and anul. Unfortunately, Leonid neglected to mention to anyone the meaning of the latter. Many believe them to be activation words, though the manner in which they are to be applied is left to wide and fanciful speculation. It is permeated by a silvery light.
Snarl
- Type: Dagger
- Location: Tirana Encantrel in Fort Shantaari
- Materials: Orichalcum and Emerald
- Damage Types:Slashing, Piercing
- Restrictions:
- Size: Fifth of a dimin wide and four and nine twentieths dimins long
- Extras: It can fire bolts of energy, summon a lion against your foe, and vibrate excitedly.
- Description:
This is a dagger of orichalcum, made with exquisite craftsmanship in an ancient style. The blade is polished to a mirror-like sheen. The hilt is carved to resemble a lion grasping a large emerald in its mouth. You recognize this as Snarl, one of the most famous weapons from the elven house of Es'trazian. It was carried in both the Goblin Wars and the Wars of Purity. Fortunately, it shed no blood in the Kinslayer Wars, as its wielder refused to participate. Stories claim that much of the dagger's power stems from the gem, and that any tampering will result in the magick's disruption. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.
Soulshard
- Type: Dagger
- Location: Amado on R'lyeh
- Materials: Obsidian and Metal
- Damage Types: Entropic and Slashing
- Restrictions: Wielding it with low willpower is almost certain death.
- Size:
- Extras: Soulshard leeches the energy of opponents based upon how hungry it is. These boons range from haste, health regenerate rate, and maximum health increases.
- Description:
This long, opalescent dagger is the weapon called Soulshard, a device of malign power which has plagued the world across the ages. Some accounts claim it was created in the time of the ancient Istax Empire, while others contend that that was merely when the blade was fitted with its current pommel and in fact its evil is far older still in origin. The weapon's handle is of shimmering obsidian etched with a strange, curving rune; its blade gives off a barely-perceptible milky-white glow, like a fragment of the moon honed into a cutting edge. It is surrounded by an aura of cold, as if it were drawing the heat out of the air around it. The thing is known to employ black necromantic magicks to draw the life from its victims, to the wielder's benefit -- though rumors hold that these magicks can somehow turn on an unwary master. Gnawing at the edges of your perception is an awareness of some kind of disembodied intellect lurking within the weapon -- something alien, something hungry. Strangely, your examination reveals that the psyche hosted in the weapon is an elemental intelligence bound to, or perhaps grown out of, the necromantic magicks permeating the device, but that this structure is somehow bound up with some strange construct made of a form of energy unknown to you, of which you can barely perceive hints.

A midlength black leather scourge with black steel barbs mounted all along its length. Though in fine condition, it looks old and weathered, and a sense of power and malevolence hangs about it like a suffocating smoke. You know this for Ektharnor Gadel, a weapon of such age that the men of the Altrian Empire called it ancient, and even the reptilian peoples of the antediluvian Istax Empire thought of it as old. The names of the pure and holy heroes who have fallen to its dark might through the ages are legion. It is permeated by a foulness.

It is constructed in a style that blends organic curvature with mechanical precision, creating an almost insect-like quality to it. It is encompassed in a transparent globe of soft, silvery light. This is one of the Wayfarer's cannon, a melee weapon imbued with leximantic magicks that enable a wielder properly aligned with ordered forces to fire blasts of energy. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more nefarious order-imbued artifacts. You recognize this as Starburner, the war scythe forged for the Fomor Traveler Oriax to use against his own Sheolim people. Without doubt the most unusual of the Wayfarer's cannon, Starburner has exchanged hands many times through its lifespan, and has become something of a treasured item among Fomori tyrants and would-be tyrants. Without doubt it has done as much harm as it has good. It is permeated by a silvery light.

You recognize this as the Rod of Power, a device that channels raw elemental forces and puts them in the command of its wielder; directing them as bolts of destructive energy upon command. While more common wands and staves contain only a limited charge and cease to function after using it up, there is no known limit to the power this device can draw upon.

Though somewhat less famous than its sister weapon, Metaflux, Podgebounce also has a distinguished history of opposing the forces of dullness and boredom -- "order", if you like -- in the hands of Eris's chosen heroes. Like Metaflux, Podgebounce is known for continually drawing on different elemental energies and changing the shape it wears, though in its case it always takes the form of some kind of shield, as it appears to have more of a protective role to play.

A length of glittering silvery metal, perhaps a meter and a half long and a dimin thick, bearing a pair of energy spheres upon its ends. One of the spheres is a field of sparkling, crackling power, purest white in color, while the other is a region of densest cold blackness, looking as if to draw the world into the tiny abyss of its maw and there devour it. Each leaves a momentary trail behind it through the air; twin traceries of light and dark ominously mark the spheres' motion. The staff between them seems somehow taut with invisible tension between the two poles, perhaps strained by the task of keeping them separate in prevention of whatever cataclysm would result from their meeting. You know this for the Singularity Staff, a weapon crafted by the Shadow Lord Kalyxes.

- Size: Seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and eighteen dimins long

This sequoia staff looks very ancient, and several runes have been carved into its surface. It is constructed of an unknown wood and upon one end are three gems which glow green, white, and black respectively. Attched to both ends of the staff are small, mithril caps, each depicting a different scene. Upon one cap, there is a demon's hand which grasps a staff veiled in suffering, and on the other, an angel's hand grasps a staff, surrounded by light. Vigour is an ancient staff which has been long held by the kentaurs of Othrys for many years. According to Othrys legend, the staff was originally created by a wizened mage whose extreme lust for power and knowledge lead to a pact with angels and demons alike to create this magestic staff. A diamond forged by the holiest of angels, an onyx forged by the most demonic of demons, and an emerald forged of the most willful of humans lay upon the staff, creating a focus to enhance the power of the staff by the heart of the one who wields it. Mystic runes have been carved from top to bottom along the staff, and each rune shows a small story of a battle fought by angels and demons alike who have heard of the rare union by the forces of good and evil, creating the powerful staff known as Vigour. It is unknown whether these runes are of myth or truth, but the message is quite clear: great power awaits the one who wields this mystic staff. It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

The weapon Arktakar was first forged several millenia ago by Graecan magi as an offering to Ahrikol, in an attempt to appease the fomor lord.

This is a steel bastard sword of exquisite craftsmanship, bearing an edge that threatens to draw blood from the eye that looks at it too long.

The blade is named Fallasfang, and the luminescent image it holds is part of the Pattern of Amber, primal source of cosmic order. The legends of this weapon say that those mortally wounded by it are destroyed by the power of the Pattern, with some fragment of the strength of their will absorbed by the sword and used to enhance the wielder's battle-prowess.

Like most tuatha war-gear of its era, it is made of the outworld crystal eleute, which in this instance is a translucent blue color.

This is an orb made of black hematite. The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent.

Long thought to be little more than an item of fancy in a child's bedtime story, this gem was fabled to belong to a grand knight from the ages past of Avalon. The story goes that during those older, darker times dragons ruled the skies and the scorched earth below. A council of the wisest and bravest men from the area gathered together, and with the skill of old magicks were able to craft a single, perfect star ruby and infuse it with a powerful enchantment of protection. This gem was given to their strongest, bravest member who then set out to put an end to the terrors that plagued their lives. Tragically, as the knight traversed the countryside seeking death for those who ravaged his land he was set upon by barbarians from the north and brutally killed by methods from which the gem offered no protection. It is known as a gem of protection, a class of gem that has been magickally altered to protect its bearer from dangerous and volatile esoteric energies. This particular enchantment protects its bearer from fire damage. It shines from within with an intense sparkling light. It has a tracery of auroric radiance within and around it.

You can sense that this one is presently filled with power. You can also sense that it was taken when its bearer was slain, rather than being given freely. This is the Horn of Calais, containing the final, captured essence of the unicorn that once roamed the forested precinct of Calais. It is permeated by an auroric radiance. It has a tracery of white light within and around it.
Klisderamna Korryn
- Type: Orb
- Location: Finwe in Valathyr
- Materials: Glowing yellow andesite
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size: Nine twentieths of a dimin across
- Extras: Gives off light
- Description:
This is an orb made of glowing yellow andesite. The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent. It pulses slowly with an intense yellow light, in a rhythm almost like the breathing of someone asleep. This is Klisderamna Korryn, the mysterious orb carried by the merchant prince Habal Motusson in the early days of the Altrian Empire. To it are ascribed the sudden deaths of a number of highwaymen who set upon him, as well as his often-uncanny reflexes. Motusson is said to have always been on the lookout for the exotic metallic resin called syrax, and to have paid high prices for it; there may be a connection with this artifact involved. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

Sharra
- Type: Intense Red Psionic matrix
- Location: Random load
- Materials: Quartz
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions: Requires the user to posess a Psychic Wild Talent, and that the user bonds to it.
- Size: Half a dimin long, three tenths of a dimin wide and a quarter of a dimin tall.
- Extras:
- Personality: Aggressive, didn't comunicate.
- Description: This is a large, intense red quartz crystal in the shape of a beveled rectangle. The crystalline structure of the stone has special resonance properties which enable it to function as a psionic matrix. Those with psionic capabilities can psychically bond with the matrix and use it as a focusing device and repository of mental energy. You recognize this as the Sharra Matrix, a consciousness-bearing psionic matrix of such power that it has been worshipped as a deity -- perhaps in hopes of influencing its incredibly volatile nature.

- Extras:
- Description:
This is a da kan dau composed of dark purple warpstone. Occasional bursts of energy arc forth from it. Legend tells of the creation of Metaflux, the mightiest weapon of chaos to be produced all through the age of the Altrian Empire. It was forged from a warpstone, bathed in the energies of the Abyss and shaped by the powers of the mightiest Chaos Lords. It was given to the Discordian hero Her High-and-Mightyness Alabastrozenithenia, Priestess of the Large Cheese Biscuit and Nomad of the Raptured Dessert (sic), to combat the threat posed to the forces of chaos by the one known as Grayface. Thanks to the heroic efforts and tremendous sex appeal of Alabastrozenithenia, Grayface was thwarted, and Metaflux was placed somewhere it would, according to Alabastrozenithenia, be "nice and safe". Wherever that may have been, evidently it is there no longer. The tales of Metaflux clearly describe its continual shifting through a bizarre variety of forms and its deployment of a host of elemental energies, often assuming a particular shape and set of capabilities at the worst possible moment for either the wielder or hir opponent. It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of pulsing, chaotic glow. It is in perfect condition. It looks about five and nine tenths dimins long, two fifths of a dimin wide and a twentieth of a dimin tall. It weighs about one dekan. You estimate that it is worth something upward of four thousand five hundred gold. It is empty. You are holding it.

- Type: Runesword
- Location: Random load
- Materials: Lzarawn
- Damage Types: Unholy
- Restrictions:
- Size:
- Extras: Increases strength when wielded.
- Description:
A long, massive, ornate ebony blade of the otherworldly material lzarawn, borne of unholy sorcery. Hundreds of arcane symbols run its length, varying in size from more than half a dimin across to barely the size of the iris of a human eye. The pommel is of the same ebon material, but bound in leather, contrasting with the blade. The arcane symbols themselves are carved deeply into the material of the blade, and glow a faint crimson. Just above the pommel is a triangular guard, golden in color. This is Mournblade, a blade of power whose legend is often told as part of that of its sister-sword Stormbringer, though it is a potent evil in its own right. Like Stormbringer, it is known for the demonic strength granted its bearer and for the trail of blood and tears that follows that ill-starred individual. It is in perfect condition. It looks about twenty-two and a half dimins long, half a dimin wide and a twentieth of a dimin tall. It weighs about ten dekans.
