Axes

Axe of Dunbar

  • Type: Battleaxe
  • Location: Synlius in Fort Shantaari
  • Materials: fifty-three percent mithril and forty-seven percent dweomer
  • 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, necromantic
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Eleven twentieths of a dimin wide and twelve and a half dimins long
  • Extras: Occasionally fires bolts of frost in battle.
  • 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.

Edgewild

  • Type: Battleaxe
  • Location: Random Load
  • Materials: forty-nine percent adamantite, forty-nine percent lexoth and two percent meteoric iron
  • Damage Types: Slashing (also may do air?)
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Nine twentieths of a dimin wide and thirteen dimins long
  • 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.

Glory

Thalgan Kor

An exquisitely-crafted battleaxe forged of mithril.  This is Thalgan Kor, an artifact with a history as old as that of 
the Battleragers themselves.  During the war with the Mynaecelani elves, the dwarven hero Gim had the smiths forge a fearsome 
weapon to use against the foe.  The smiths captured the fury of storms and put them into this mithril battleaxe to smite the elves.

Zeal

  • Type: Greataxe
  • Location: Estar's chest in Corna
  • Materials: Steel
  • Damage Types: Slashing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seven tenths of a dimin wide and eleven and a half dimins long
  • Extras: Occasionally sends the wielder into a berserk rage.
  • Description: 
This vicious steel greataxe has been dyed dark crimson from the blood of its countless victims, save for the razor edge, 
which remains strangely clean and sharp.  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.

Bows

Illyana's Rage

  • Location: Avenging Vision in Shadowmyrk

  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Tenth of a dimin across and sixteen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
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.  It has outlived the nation of Nibenay by aeons, but still ceaselessly seeks 
the destruction of that place's descendents, the folk now known as the drow.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

  • Type: Longbow
  • Location: Terethrond in Losthaven
  • Materials: Mellryn with Silver string
  • Damage Types: Dependant upon arrows fired from it.
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Three twentieths of a dimin across and seventeen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
    This is a compound longbow made of silver string and mellryn.  The quality
of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  It bears the craftmark of Iolo of
Losthaven, a small engraved mark resembling a hawk's eye and beak.  You know
this compound longbow as Eidolon, prized posession of Terethrond -- captain of
the Losthaven Guard.  Wrought specially for him from solid mellryn -- a gift
from the elves of the Valien woods -- and strung with enchanted spun silver
string this weapon is unique among its kind.  It is permeated by a dim auroric
radiance.  It is in perfect condition.  It looks about three twentieths of a
dimin across and seventeen dimins long.  It weighs about a tenth of a dekan.

Bludgeons

  • Location: Toantiuh
  • Materials: forty-five percent dweomer, forty-five percent hyperium and nine percent light
  • Damage Types: Photonic
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Three fifths of a dimin across and three and nine tenths dimins long
  • Extras: Discharges bursts of photonic energy.
  • Description: 
This is a rod of hyperium topped with a sphere of burning, incandescent light, giving it the overall configuration 
of a mace.  The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly.  You recognize this as the artifact Lightbringer.  Said 
to have been created by the legendary mage Vanyel in the age of the Altrian Empire, it has passed from hand to hand over 
time.  Eventually the Tenochca people captured the infamous Dioniso Kane, its last possessor, and offered the artifact 
to their sun god Tonatiuh as a sacrifice.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.  It is giving off light.

  • Materials: Adamantite
  • Damage Types: Crushing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and five and eleven twentieths dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is an exquisitely made adamantite mace covered in designs of a very intricate nature.  The only pattern noticeable that continues throughout them
is the often intersection of lines and curves, with one breaking the other.  You recognize it as the artifact Shatter, and can feel it hum with the
anticipation of battle.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.  It is in perfect condition.  It looks about .  It weighs about eight and twenty-one
fortieths dekans.

Var Kunai

  • Type: Mace
  • Location: Stephan Steelhammer
  • Materials: Mithril
  • Damage Types: Crushing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Three quarters of a dimin across and four and nine tenths dimins long
  • Extras: Part of Destruction of a Horror quest
  • Description: 
This exquisite mithril mace was forged from the purest mithril and polished to a brilliant sheen.  Several elvish runes and other strange 
dwarvish runic markings decorate  the pommel and head of the weapon.  The runes are dark and lifeless.  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. It was carried by Stephan Steelhammer against 
Kali and her foul minion Key-Atemi.

Zrael

  • Type: Rod
  • Location: Phalyre in Et'zlaerhi
  • Materials: sixty-seven percent dweomer and thirty-three percent bone
  • Damage Types: Crushing Temporal
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Eleven and a half dimins long and three-quarters of a dimins wide
  • Extras: Allows you to port to Named individuals. Also allows one to teleport items from NPCs or even players. Aligned may use the artifact to summon the dragon Zrael.
  • Description: 
This rod is made of an old, blackened bone its surface covered entirely in runes, some old and worn nearly smooth, others looking freshly carved.  
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.

Daggers

  • Restrictions:
  • Size: It looks about three twentieths of a dimin wide and four and seventeen twentieths dimins long.
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
A dagger formed from the netherworld material lzarawn, a product of foul sorcery.  Its hilt is forged badly but its misshapen blade is sharpened to
unbelievable keenness.  Closer examination shows the material to be very slightly translucent, its black iridescence sparkling within as the dagger seems
to move slightly of its own volition.  A vaguely serpentine form twines down the hilt to the pommel, where two green tourmaline gems are set like eyes.  It
appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of foulness.

Harval

  • Type: Dagger
  • Location: Shakari
  • Materials: silvery steel
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions: Harval squirms out of your grasp. (I'm neutral/neutral)
  • Size: Three twentieths of a dimin wide and four and three quarters dimins long

  • Description: 
A silvery steel dagger with a razor-sharp blade.  The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. Viewed from some angles, there seems to be a 
subtle light upon it.  Upon the hilt is the emblem of Shakari, a red square.  You recognize this as Harval, one of the three Blades of Destruction 
crafted by the gods themselves.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

Katelyn's Dagger

  • Type:
  • Location:
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description:

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. The syntax for the activation word is subvocalize los
  • 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: sixty-six percent orichalcum, thirty-three percent dweomer and one percent 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: forty-three percent qlippotam, thirty-two percent obsidian, twenty-two percent aelithandar and three percent psyche
  • 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.

  • Type: Scourge

  • Restrictions: Must be a evil alignment.
  • Size: Seven tenths of a dimin across and eight and two fifths dimins long
  • Extras: 
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 permeated by an auroric radiance. It is in perfect condition. It looks about seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and five and eleven twentieths dimins long.

questing Knight of the Round Table ages ago and never returned.  The fate of this hapless Knight was never discovered, 
but the power of the hammer against undead is legendary.  It is permeated by a white light.  It has a webwork of 
prismatic radiance within and around it.

  • Materials: Sparkling Golden Hyperium
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Four fifths of a dimin across and twenty-seven dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is an exquisitely-crafted war scythe forged from sparkling golden hyperium.  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 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.


Grey Sickle

  • Type: Sickle

  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This ebony rod is etched with dozens of whisper-thin silvery lines.  An ornamental mithril banding holds a small 
glass sphere prominently atop the shaft; its interior filled with a whirling mass of earthy smoke.  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.  It is 
permeated by an auroric radiance.

  • Type: Target Shield

describing a strange pattern that attracts one's attention like the hint of a taste that one cannot quite identify.  Its name is Yrenasand, and story would
have that it is the personal shield of Gavadel of Amber, and that the lines within it are an image of a fragment of the Pattern, the source of cosmic
order.  It is permeated by a shimmering radiance.  It has a webwork of silvery light and a webwork of white light within and around it.

(as these things go) Discordian artifact Podgebounce.  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.

Spears

  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a quarterstaff made of black oak.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  The black oak of the 
quarterstaff has a fine luster, despite its appearance of great age.  Its entire length has been carved with eldritch 
symbols that shimmer and pulse with light.  You know this for Alahamorithil, the runestaff crafted by Mettik of Jhan 
to focus and channel his arcane powers.  Carved from the heart of a black oak from the depths of a great forest of Barsaive 
and marked with great runes of order, it is a potent object of power for the right wielder.

Singularity Staff

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.

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.

presence of the scimitar's shimmering blood-red iron blade.  Nicks and scratches line the weapon from tip to pommel, indicating
considerable use over a long period of time.  The weapon Arktakar was first forged several millenia ago by Graecan magi as

  • Extras:
  • Description: 
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.  More
striking than its quality of make, though, are the lines of glowing energy that are embedded within the blade, forming an odd pattern that holds the eye
strangely, lingering in the mind like a half-remembered scent caught wafting through the air.  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.  It is
permeated by a dim silvery light and a shimmering radiance.

Glamdring

Grayswandir

You examine Grayswandir through your clear glass lens of analysis:

This is a steel longsword of unearthly craftsmanship, with an edge of such keenness that one expects the air to begin 
bleeding at any moment.  More striking than the evident skill of its forging, however, are the lines of glowing energy 
embedded within the blade, forming a strange pattern that resonates oddly with the eye, like a memory hovering on
the brink of recognition.  The name of the blade is Grayswandir.  If tale and legend are to be believed, this is the 
armament of Prince Corwin of Amber, a Pattern-sword bearing a fragmentary mirror-image of the source of cosmic order 
within it.  It is permeated by a shimmering radiance.  It has a webwork of golden light within and around it.  It is in
perfect condition.  It looks about a twentieth of a dimin wide and fifteen dimins long.  It weighs about twenty-one two 
thousandths of a dekan.  You estimate its value at about eight thousand five hundred gold.

After a moment, the knowledge that Grayswandir is composed of seventy-seven percent logos, nineteen percent lexoth, and 
four percent steel drifts into your mind like a long-forgotten memory.

a few thin wisps of foulness.  It looks about five and thirteen twentieths dimins long, nine twentieths of a dimin wide and a tenth

In a state of wild alarm-- 
With a frightful, frantic, fearful frown, 
I bared my big right arm. 
I seized him by his little pig-tail, 
And on his knees fell he, 
As he squirmed and struggled, 
And gurgled and guggled, 
I drew my snickersnee! 
Oh, never shall I 
Forget the cry, 
Or the shriek that shrieked he, 
As I gnashed my teeth, 
When from its sheath 
I drew my snickersnee!

  • Extras: Makes its wearer ametabolic and removes their need to breathe.
  • Description: 
This is a perfectly-crafted winged strata breastplate forged from night-black carbonite segments.  The two wingsheaths seemlessly extend from the back.  
They shimmer with a pattern like ripples in water, swaying slightly as they move, magickally imbued with a measure of flexibility.  A coruscar is set into 
the middle of the breastplate.  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 out of segments that are layered on top of one another, but not actually touching.  They move together as the armour moves, with a very slight 
delay, as if they were suspended by some sort of field.  This is an instance of strata armour, exotic equipment only known to be made on the plane of Echelos, 
home of the chelones.  Each piece is given shape by mathematically precise, mechanical construction processes, and the whole construct is given permanent stratified 
spatial structure by suspending it within a field of ordered energy.  This is Astralung, torso armour enchanted by the Wayfarer to allow him to travel through deep space.

Mnethilim Foul

  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Fifth of a dekan
  • Extras: A wave of foulness pulses forth from the skull on Mnethilim Foul. Various random effects in combat for those with unholy taint -- haste, ability boosts, etc...
  • Description: 
This is a girdle made of bone.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  It is made of thousand of tiny interlocking 
bones whose joints provide its flexibility.  Its buckle is a sleek, reptilian-looking skull.  This is Mnethilim Foul, an 
artifact sacred to Thanatos, said to have been created in ancient times to reward one of his most dedicated servants.  
Accounts would have the skull that of a s'tali necromancer, accursed by Thanatos for his theft of the souls of the dead 
and bound to serve for eternity in this fashion.  The girdle is said to offer protection in battle in direct proportion 
to the unholy taint that dwells within its wearer, and to deepen such taint over time.  Reportedly the key to defeating 
the wearer of Mnethilim Foul is to either simply attack more times than the device can cope with, or to drain the wearer 
of spiritual energy, which degrades its functioning, eventually making it stop working entirely.

respectively.  It is constructed out of segments that are layered on top of one another, but not actually touching.  They move together as the armour
moves, with a very slight delay, as if they were suspended by some sort of field.  This is an instance of strata armour, exotic equipment only known to
be made on the plane of Echelos, home of the chelones.  Each piece is given shape by mathematically precise, mechanical construction processes, and the
whole construct is given permanent stratified spatial structure by suspending it within a field of ordered energy.  This is Twinblossom, a gauntlet
forged by the Wayfarer in the depths of Limbo.  It is said that he enlisted the aid of Pattern magi of Amber to enchant the red and violet Uru segments
with high magicks that blend Order with Chaos.  It is permeated by a dim silvery light.  It has a few thin wisps of shimmering radiance within and
around it.

Items

Belamvor Korryn

This is an orb made of black hematite.  The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent.  This is Belamvor Korryn, an orb 
of power that served the great elven mage Tenrylaurae in the early days of the Altrian Empire.  It reportedly not only 
defended her and served as an aid to her channeling of spiritual energy, but gave her a preternatural imperturbability.  
There is some speculation that Terylaurae's preoccupation with the obtainment of coruscars may have been related, not to 
her alchemical pursuits as generally assumed, but this artifact.

This gold chalice, inlaid with rubies and sapphires, is thought to be the vessel which captured the last of the famed knight Cathrys Yrongar's blood
as he fell in battle against the minions of the demon lord Ahrikol.  It looks less than a twentieth of a dimin on a side.  It weighs very little.  You 
estimate that it is worth something upward of four thousand gold.

After a moment, the knowledge that the Chalice of Cathrys is composed of forty-five percent ruby, forty-five percent sapphire and nine percent gold

  • Type: Chime
  • Location: Random Load
  • Materials: Silver
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Fifth of a dimin across and one and a fifth dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a tubular chime made of silver.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  You recognize it as the Chime of Vel-Pirilon, an obscure artifact 
of the Courts of Chaos.  It is called after its reputed creator, the ancient Chaos Lord Vel-Pirilon, who was general and then head of House Sawall many 
millenia ago.  Its precise purpose is less well-known.  You, however, are aware of it: it summons Lhethan Hagal, the legendary adjutant to generals of the 
Courts throughout history, from his repose in a distant plane to serve the bearer -- should that bearer have sufficient standing to merit Hagal's devotion.  
It has a tracery of shimmering radiance and a webwork of auroric radiance within and around it.

Dragonheart

  • Type: Gem of Protection
  • Location: Random Load
  • Materials: Ruby
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: One dimin across
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is Dragonheart.  The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly.  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.

Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

  • Type: Tablet
  • Location: Yog-sothoth on R'leyh
  • Materials: Emerald
  • Damage Types: Magical
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Quarter of a dimin long, four fifths of a dimin wide and nineteen twentieths of a dimin tall
  • Extras: May be used similarly to a wand.
  • Description: 
This is the ancient Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistos, upon which the visionary father of the magickal arts 
inscribed the core principles from which the myriad orders of modern-day mages derive their systems of wonder-working.  
Above and beyond this historical value, many find significance in the fact that the Thrice-Blessed encoded his symbolic 
insights into the tablet in telesmic medium, empowering it to act as a potent esoteric weapon, and that many of its 
possessors since that day have added their contributions to the invisible construct within, increasing its power.  
Despite its diminutive size, this age-patina'd tablet of emerald symbolizes tremendous power for those with the eyes 
to see it.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.  It has a tracery of shimmering radiance within and around it.

  • Extras: Possible flight and vampiric spirit energy drain from environment if used with a warpstone in inventory. (Untested)
  • Description:

This is an orb made of marcasite. The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent. This is Gaumontar Korryn, orb of office of the witch-king Tielnoth in the days of the Altrian Empire. Tales would have it that not only did the orb provide him with the power of flight, the better to survey his domain, but formed a powerful magickal focus that continually drew spiritual energy from his surroundings and channeled it into him. By some accounts, the bounty that Tielnoth's court paid for warpstones during his reign was not out of any concern for his people, but rather because he used them as a power source for this artifact. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance. You estimate that it is worth something upward of two thousand five hundred gold. It looks about nine twentieths of a dimin across. It weighs very little.

Golden Drinking Horn

  • Description: This is a withered, desiccated, gray-mottled black hand. Its fingernails are long, black, and slightly curled. Its texture is leathery and somehow slimy, despite the thing's dried-out appearance. A foul stench of decay wafts from it. You recognize it as the severed hand of the lich Vazaith, infused with his dark power and his undying malice.

Heart of Tyristael

  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:

  • Description:This is a red heart that beats in a regular, pulsing rhythm despite being severed from any body it once served. The disturbing, revolting sight somehow draws the eye despite its horrific nature. You know this for the Heart of Tyristael, torn from the ruined breast of one of Yehovah's angels and bound to continue in its hideous semblance of life.

Horn of Calais

  • Type: Unicorn Horn
  • Location: Bartziluth's Cave
  • Materials: Gold
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Half a dimin across and five and a half dimins tall
  • Extras: Spawns as a random color of unicorn horn. Provides a source of unicorn blood.
  • Description: 
A sharp-pointed, spiraling golden horn about five and a half dimins long.  It is the horn of a unicorn, such things being 
famed for their curative effects.  The golden horn is said to cure all manner of madness and mental disorder.  Once the 
power of a unicorn horn is used, it will be depleted for a time while the horn slowly absorbs mana from the surrounding 
environment.  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.

    • 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.

You recognize it as the one-of-a-kind ioun stone that is persistently called the Eye of Shamash, though who or what Shamash is or may have been is little in evidence. It is known for aiding its user in invocation, inducing an affinity to light, increasing physical vitality, providing insight into the subtle terrains of the skies, and enhancing charisma. It is one of the class of enchanted gems known as ioun stones, noted by scholars of the arcane arts for their ability to pass on a variety of effects and abilities to their possessors. It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of auroric radiance. You appraise it at one gold.

  • Materials: Warpstone
  • Damage Types: All, random.
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: All, random.
  • 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.

  • Extras: Contact with the crown will cause the Rot of Ugior and other diseases.
  • Description: 
This is a crown made of rosewood barbs.  The quality of its craftsmanship is poor.  
It looks diseased, the spiky intertwined thorns twisted and mottled with weird growths.
You know this for the Pestilent Crown, a deceptively potent artifact that reputedly
came into being at the will of Ugior himself.  It is a breeding ground for disease, 
inflicting horrible plagues upon those wearing or even near it -- though frequently enough
those are Ugior's own cultists, who welcome such pestilences into their bodies.  It protects
its wearer with subtle and powerful magicks, including the capacity to partially nullify the    
poisons that are ordinarily a bane to disease affinites.  It is permeated by a prismatic  
radiance.

This is a hauberk made of amber diamond gem spikes and carbonite heavy mail.  The quality
of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  Its links are impossibly thin and tightly-knit, forming
a nearly impermeable barrier that is nonetheless light and flexible.  You recognize it as
Xaoloth Yith, an artifact dating back to the era before the founding of the Istax Empire. 
It was constructed by the kedethkral smith Llunthu as her answer to the parageoro of the Chaos
Knights, and is infused with powers which, while focused in somewhat different areas than
that of paraxoro, in many ways excel theirs.

the Shroud of Xent

  • Type: Shroud (headgear)
  • Location: Random load
  • Materials: Hemlock
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: Provides a source of hemlock. Poisons the wearer.
  • Description: 
This is a cowl made of hemlock.  The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent.  Its growth of 
leaves is very thick.  At first consideration, it is difficult to conceive of what sort of 
person would voluntarily wear a garment that kept hir head in continual contact with hemlock 
leaves.  You recognize it as the Shroud of Xent.  Certain Nizari assassins spend years 
acclimating themselves to myriad poisons, and one such individual was known as Xent the Shiv.  
Xent was particularly fond of poisons and used them extensively to perform Kali's work 
throughout the land.  Through his extensive study of botany, Kali's favor, and a modicum of 
magickal dabbling, Xent was able to enchant a hemlock plant to require no soil or water, and 
wove the plant into a cowl for his head.  Considered eccentric by most Nizari, Xent was 
nonetheless respected for his work, and his creation undeniably provided not only substantial 
magickal protection, but also a ready supply of hemlock leaves, invaluable to an experienced 
Nizari.  
It is permeated by an auroric radiance.  It is in perfect condition.  It is intermediate in 
size, and definitely too small for you.  It appears to you as if it was crafted for a human.  
It looks about one and three fifths dimins across and a tenth of a dimin thick.  It weighs 
about a twentieth of a dekan.  You estimate its value at about four thousand two hundred fifty 
gold.

One can pluck a leaf from it.  The Shroud of Xent was created by Erebus; the source code was 
last updated Wed Nov 05 19:12:47 2008.  The improvised weapon weapon type was created by Lost 
Souls; the source code was last updated Thu Jul 12 11:56:10 2007.  The cowl armour type was  
created by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Sat Jul 14 16:13:36 2007.  The 
material hemlock was created by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 15

Whammo

  • Type: Yo-yo
  • Location': Unknown
  • Materials: Unknown
  • Damage Types: Unknown (most likely at least chaotic)
  • Restrictions: Unknown
  • Size: About four fifths of a dimin across and a fifth of a dimin long. Weighs about sixty-three two-hundred-fiftieths of a dekan.
  • Extras: Something, probably.
  • Description: 
This is a yo-yo, a short, broad cylinder with a cord wrapped
around it, used by essentially throwing the cylinder while allowing the cord
to unwind, then reeling the cylinder back along the cord, made of adamantium
cable and cyan diamond. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. 
Sparkling motes of endlessly shifting colors dance and flicker in its
crystalline depths.  You recognize this as Whammo, a somewhat obscure weapon
of power crafted by one Blurb, at the time a disciple of the Master of Yo in Darking Bog. 
Blurb was said by some to have been touched by Eris; the rest were of the opinion that he was
smacked with considerable force.  The device, crafted in the form of an
idiosyncratic weapon type used by the Gobnog boglins of Darking Bog, is said
to contain potent energies of chaos and to be extremely deadly in the hands of
the right individual.  It is permeated by a dim, pulsing chaotic glow.  It has
a tracery of coruscating silvery radiance within and around it.
