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: sixty-three percent adamantite, thirty-one percent qlippotam, three percent obsidian, and three percent ruby
  • 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. Can additionally be invoked when charged to provide an additional qlippotic damage effect against a foe - read the script for the key.
  • 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-three percent lexoth, forty-three percent adamantite, eleven percent gold, 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. Is a Calibra weapon, so discharges in much the same fashion.
  • Description:

This is an exquisitely-crafted battleaxe composed out of interlocking pieces of sky blue adamantite. The weapon has an unusual style: its edges and form seem inspired by something between a machine and an insect. A thin line of faint golden light seeps from the gaps in the pieces around the butt of the axe head. There is a small red gold switch on the middle of the haft. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. This is one of the Wayfarer's cannon, a melee weapon imbued with a eideturgic engine 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 esoteric 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 motes of stratospheric essence into it. The blade shines with the harsh glare of an open sky. It is permeated by a dim golden light. It is in perfect condition. It looks about half a dimin wide and thirteen dimins long. It weighs about three and one hundred thirty-nine two-hundredths dekans. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.

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: fifty percent qlippotam and fifty percent steel
  • Damage Types: Slashing, fire/entropic (when burning)
  • Restrictions: Can drain life from an unworthy wielder.
  • Size: Seven tenths of a dimin wide and eleven and a half dimins long
  • Extras: Occasionally bursts into flames 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

  • Type: Longbow
  • Location: Avenging Vision in Shadowmyrk

  • 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.

    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.

Atmadhanura

  • Type: Longbow
  • Location: Random load

  • Extras: Can be touched to a chakra to change the damage type it does. This drains the chakra of some energy.
  • Description:

This is a recurved longbow made of black hemp string and ashwood. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. Its black hemp string glows with a bright indigo light. Flowing silvery script is stained into the ashwood along its length. You recognize it as Atmadhanura, an ancient weapon of power, said to be capable of drawing on the strength of the wielder's soul as manifested through the energy centers called chakras. It is permeated by a coruscating silvery radiance. It is in perfect condition. It looks about a tenth of a dimin across and sixteen dimins long. It weighs about eleven two-hundredths of a dekan.

The writing is in Sumerian, and reads:

that arrow is truest which flies from the soul

Bludgeons

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Extras: Allows you to port to Named (or nicknamed) individuals. Also allows one to teleport items from NPCs or even players. Allows one to teleport creatures away, essentially at random. 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

Bloodfire

  • Location: Sang-drax in the Nexus
  • Materials: lzarawn
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: It looks about three twentieths of a dimin wide and four and seventeen twentieths dimins long.
  • Extras: Curses you if you wield it long enough, causing your alignment to drift towards D/C and occasionally forcing you to attack (But seemingly only if you're no longer carrying the waepon, nothing happened to my alignment or anything until I actually stopped having it.). Curse does not wear off until well after the blade is relinquished. (After an incredibly significant amount of time, numbering in hours.)
  • 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: sixty percent dweomer and forty percent steel
  • Damage Types: slashing, piercing, primal
  • Restrictions: Harval squirms out of your grasp. (I'm neutral/neutral)

  • Extras: Occasionally gives motivational messages. e.g.: An insane voice whispers, "Living beings are a disease, a cancer of this world. I am the cure.".
  • 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.

the Holy Dagger of Ameterasu

  • Damage Types: slashing, piercing, primal
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: Turn-in for Holy Dagger quest.
  • Description:

This is a strange weapon indeed. Its white steel blade is fairly long, but it is extremely thin where it meets the hilt. It does not look like it would be very useful in combat. There is a symbol etched into the blade. You recognize this as the Holy Dagger of Amaterasu, and the symbol as signifying life. It is permeated by a dim white light. It is in perfect condition. It looks about three tenths of a dimin wide and four and a tenth dimins long. It weighs about thirteen twentieths of a dekan. You estimate its value at about one thousand gold. You are holding it.

Katelyn's Dagger

  • Type: Dagger
  • Location: Runehand in Corna - Reward for completion of The Restless Dead.
  • Materials: fifty percent ruby and fifty percent platinum
  • Damage Types: Stabbing, Slashing, Primal(?)
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description:

Shimmering, red runes light the blade of this long, beautiful dagger. Despite being forged from pure platinum, the weapon is extremely durable and completely unscratched. Tiny, warm rubies adorn the dagger's intricately decorated handle, which bears the symbol of a burning candle. Created by Greyson of Corna, and enchanted by both the archmage Askeen and the famous Runehand Arulus, this weapon was hotly favoured by the heroine Katelyn Flamestaff.

Quantum

  • Type Dagger
  • Location Mok A'tal
  • Materials sixty-seven percent lexoth, twenty percent logos, and thirteen percent iron
  • Damage Type Sonic, piercing
  • Restrictions
  • Size Three fifths of a dimin wide and seven and thirteen twentieths dimins long
  • Extras 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.

Unarmed Weapons

  • Type: Scourge
  • Location: Balrog in Shadow Tower

  • 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.

You recognize this as the hammer Mountainheart, and know that the ancient and powerful runes upon it promise protection for the dwarven peoples and doom for the goblins and their kin by means of the power of elemental earth channeled through the artifact. 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. It weighs about eight and nineteen twenty-fifths dekans. You estimate its value at about eight thousand seven hundred gold.

Eighteen dimins of polished, honey-brown oak is capped by a large white iron head form this exquisitely-crafted 
warhammer.  You recognize this as the Hammer of Yehovah, a potent symbol of Yehovah's power that was lent to a 
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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Shields

  • Location: Crystal Caves
  • Materials: fifty-two percent dweomer, forty-three percent mithril, and four percent logos

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.

Snapdragon

  • Type: Hoopak
  • Location: Ghaelion in Thistlewood
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: In the hands of a llelimin, has several invokable abilities.
  • Description:

This finely-crafted hoopak is made from a single piece of shimmering white thistlewood. The gold banding wraps around the bottom of the staff, while tendrils of the same material crawl across its length forming small, intricate rune patterns. You recognize the rune flamesh. A thin strap of black leather stretches the length of the v-shaped formation at the staff's head, seeming able to easily hold a small projectile. This hoopak is known by many as Snapdragon, personal belonging of the Thistlewood village elder, Ghaelion. Ghaelion makes a well known claim that Azuth himself gave the hoopak in exchange for good behavior while pursuing his duties as a Cleric. Skeptical llelimin claim he probably just found it somewhere and is holding it until he real owner shows up. Skeptical non-llelimin believe he simply stole it. It is in perfect condition. It looks about three fifths of a dimin across and fifteen dimins long. It weighs about four dekans.

Snapdragon runes:

  • Flamesh - Recognized with around 40 rune lore. Turns stones launched from the hoopak into fireballs. 1 fireball per use of the rune.
  • Draca - Recognized with around 80 rune lore. Summons a drachannach follower which can be commanded. This follower fades away if you stop wielding the hoopak. The drachannach apparently starts at level 20.

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

Dagger, Cristlun -- "The Moonlight Cleaver".  Originally forged by a small circle of drow worshippers of Luna, the blade vanished from Zadnothruin soon
after the priests of Ygelleth slaughtered the moon-worshippers for heresy.  The weapon draws power from the light of its beneficiary, Luna, and is known to
only achieve the pinnacle power of its original enchantment when raised to bask in the glory of midnight moonlight.  It is permeated by a dim white light.

  • 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

It pulses gently with thin layers of airy aether that roll off of it like waves rolling off of a beach. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

Peacemaker

This is a perfectly-crafted katana composed out of interlocking pieces of golden adamantium.

A thin line of faint golden light seeps from the gaps in the pieces around the base of the blade. There is a small green gold switch where the guard meets the hilt. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. This is one of the Wayfarer's cannon, a melee weapon imbued with a eideturgic engine 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 esoteric order-imbued artifacts. A row of semicircular green gold hooks the back of the blade. The hooks look about the right size for a wand. You recognize this as Peacemaker, forged by the Wayfarer under the guidance of Hanoman masters for the tuatha warrior Taiji. Before he went into seculsion for unknown reasons, Taiji used it for many decades to keep the peace in Valathyr and various elven extraplanar strongholds. After he vanished the sword was lost. It is said that a fraction of Taiji's silima was alchemically blended into the composition of the blade. The blade is lined with beautiful green gold filigree. The substance of the weapon itself, a long, curved, single-edged sword with a chisel point, forged in a way that gives the metal the ability to hold an incredibly sharp edge, has been honed to an edge that can cut thoughts. It is in perfect condition. It looks about three twentieths of a dimin wide and eighteen dimins long. It weighs about seven twentieths of a dekan.

The imire runes on the scabbard of your green-gold-filigreed ilianara baldric start glowing softly. You sense some sort of current being established between you and your green-gold-filigreed ilianara baldric.
  • Description:

This is a perfectly-crafted ilianara baldric with a scabbard that looks to be sized for a katana. There is a long thin notch on the mune of the scabbard that looks as though it is designed to accomodate some sort of anomalous protrusion. The notch is surrounded by elaborate green gold filigree. Most of the middle is wrapped in ilianara strips that connect to a strap designed to secure the scabbard to one's shoulder. It has an erivelin rim. Small spiralling green eleute bars protruding from the rim extend upward to wrap around Peacemaker sheathed within, locking it into place. A circle of small imire runes is inlaid into the center of the scabbard in a gap in the wrap; in their center is a larger rune resembling a rose. It is in perfect condition. It is intermediate in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It looks about seven twentieths of a dimin wide, thirteen dimins long, and a tenth of a dimin thick. It weighs about two fifths of a dekan. It is giving off a faint, barely-perceptible light. Peacemaker is in it. You are wearing it.

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!

tantalizingly away from the mind.  This is the Pattern-helm Archimemnor, a work of primal magicks said to have proceeded 
from the hands of Dworkin Barimen, architect of Amber, himself.  If tales are to be believed, the particular set of 
Pattern elements encoded within it creates an effect such that when the wearer defeats a foe of great power, especially 
one strong in the ways of chaos, part of the force of the defeated enemy's psyche is absorbed and reinforces the wearer's.

protection to the head, neck and throat of any who would wear it.  You recognize this as the Dragon-helm of Dor-Lomin 
that was created by s'tali sorcerers nearly two millenia ago.  The mere fact that it still exists is testimony to the
powerful magicks that created it.  These magicks are incidentally responsible for the helm's mithril being black in 
color rather than its normal silvery hue.  The legends of the helmet state that it was the chosen protection of ancient 
generals heading into battle.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

narrow T-shaped opening in the face.  It looks pristine, as if having never seen battle.  This is Holhenneth, the helm 
worn by the first tuatha battle-lords as they fought in a great war in the dawn times of the world.  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.  
It appears pristine, as if never having seen battle, but this is the result of enchantments laid upon it which repair 
it as fast as it can be damaged.  Other enchantments provide powerful defenses for the wearer and aid him in battle.  
Physically, it is shaped like a smooth cylinder with a dome top, with a narrow T-shaped opening in the face.  It is

The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. Its boss is in the shape of an angular, five-pointed star. Despite a certain roughness to it, it has a certain coherence of design, visible in an uncanny harmony of ratios, that elevates its aesthetic value considerably. You recognize it as Strelgth-Khulur, a weird artifact of the shoggothim of Leng, though accounts differ on the matter of whether it was made by them or for them. Aside from providing useful esoteric protections to the wearer, it is reported to periodically strike one's opponents with weird energies that, in addition to inflicting damage, somehow drain or harvest madness, in many forms, from beings subject to it, and use whatever it is that is stolen to provide the wearer with potent insights into the nature of reality. Some accounts, admittedly subjective, maintain that the device is more effective in the hands (or what-have-you) of an individual possessed either chaos favour, order favour, or both. It is permeated by a dim, pulsing chaotic glow and a dim golden light. It has a few thin wisps of shimmering radiance within and around it. It is in perfect condition. It is gigantic in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It looks about one and four fifths dimins across and a quarter of a dimin long. It weighs about thirteen twentieths of a dekan. You estimate its value at about five thousand two hundred gold.

with a spirit of fire that grants the wearer an affinity for influences of that element and periodically discharges these
energies to the detriment of his opponents.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

have been fashioned of a chunk of the lloigor Azathoth that was somehow broken off and made solid -- some legends say by the deeds of some hero, the name of
whom varies from telling to telling, others say by the alignment of the stars or more arcane occurrences.  How it came to be fashioned into its current form
is equally obscure, but there is no obscurity in the consistent claims that it provides (or inflicts) powerful (or shattering) insights to (or upon) its
wearer.  It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of shimmering radiance.

for use as a cowl.  The hide seems in exceptionally good condition, free of tears and slashes, and lacks the unappealing 
smell of many hide garments.  The quality of its craftsmanship is good.  You recognize this as Morvern Callar, an object 
which has traveled from hand to hand in legend.  It is often mentioned only in passing, but the simple fact of its ongoing 
presence speaks to its durability, if nothing else. Stories describe it as enhancing the wearer's abilities, though the 
specifics are vague.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description:

This is a suit of plate armour made of perfectly-crafted red iron. Its plates are simple and unornamented, but are numerous and interlocking, giving it an intricate and somehow very ancient appearance. Its helm is the exception: it is a piece of solid metal with a small T-shaped hole for seeing and breathing. An underlayer of black leather cloth that serves as padding is visible through its joints. This is the mysterious armour known only as the Red Plate. It is thought to have its origins in the forges of Hell, but this is largely speculative, and belied by the more ordinary anthropic shape for which it is adapted. What is known about it is that it is extraordinarily effective at absorbing damage delivered from dieties, eidoloi, and other teloi. As such, the Paragons and other select chosen of teloi are typically called on to deal with its bearer, as avatars and other more direct manifestations are much less effective -- though not so much less so that they are not still a severe threat to any mortal who might contest them, with or without the Plate. It is permeated by a shimmering radiance. It is in perfect condition. It is intermediate in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It appears to you as if it was crafted for an orc. It looks about nineteen dimins tall, four and a fifth dimins wide, one and a twentieth dimins long, and a twentieth of a dimin thick. It weighs about eight and one hundred fifty-nine two-hundredths dekans. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.

  • Description:

This is a pteraplastron, a form of armour designed for the needs of winged anthropoids, covering the chest in ordinary fashion, and adding complicated assemblies upon the back, constructed to protect the wings while preserving freedom of motion, made of coruscar and night-black carbonite segments. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. 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. The two wingsheaths saemlessly extend from the back. They shimmer with a pattern like ripples in water, swaying slightly as they move. 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.

  • 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.

There are a total of thirteen gemstones, as follows: diamond, ruby, sapphire, coruscar, amber, onyx, emerald, azurite, pearl, red garnet, jet, blue topaz, and opal. Each of the two bands is inscribed with a series of ten runes along its outer edge. These runes seem to slowly and endlessly re-etch themselves in differing shapes and patterns, such that the ring itself seems to be in constant fluid motion as the metal's surface reshapes itself. This is the fabled artifact known as Apinpanpupaka. It is said to contain the principles of many varieties of magick, augmenting a pair of them at any moment in time. Historically, this has proven very useful to magi who lack experience in some fields as they learn new cantrips and spells. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

The Flower of Sperm Directed Onto Everything Ever

  • Materials: seventy-seven percent diamond, fifteen percent shekhinah, and eight percent dweomer
  • Damage Types: Extropic (discharge)
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description:

This is a flower made of diamond. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. You recognize it as the Flower of Sperm Directed Onto Everything Ever, a work of art constructed by that famously goddess-besotted follower of Eris, Ultamon Zilch. It allegorically refers to the Panspermia, a Discordian origin story in which Eris creates all the peoples of the world by throwing great globs of sperm from the heavens (in the version of this story told to children, where Eris got the sperm is not mentioned; few other versions are so merciful). This divinely flung semen impregnates the ground, which gives birth to different races according to the local conditions: plains bringing forth humans, forests birthing danaan, mountains engendering thondur, and so on. This tale is noted among raconteurs for being almost infinitely adaptable to the purpose of crude ethnic slurs against whatever variety of folk the teller may be irritated with, bearing a long tradition of increasingly improbable disgusting circumstances made to account for the origin of the more obnoxious and disliked species of the world. The Flower itself, like some of Zilch's other creations, appears to have been enough liked by Eris that she imbued it with powerful energies of life. Reportedly, when the Flower is held, and *not* used directly to bash anything's head in, it will steadily heal the bearer, as well as intermittently blasting his enemies with fluxes of life energy literally too powerful for ordinary living beings to endure. It has a tracery of auroric radiance and a webwork of coruscating silvery radiance within and around it. It looks less than a twentieth of a dimin across and about two dimins tall.

  • Type: Gauntlet
  • Location: Random Load
  • Materials: Uru
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a perfectly-crafted strata left gauntlet forged from red and violet Uru segments.  It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith
aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid.  The flowers on the craft mark pulse faintly with red and violet light
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.

powers of the King's foes.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

  • Description: 
This ring glitters like polished gold overlaid with silver light; a white stone set into it twinkles as if a star had come down to rest there.  
This is Nenya, one of the Three Rings of Power first forged by Ahrikol in days of antiquity.  Then, the dark lord's technique was incomplete, 
and the rings escaped his dominion, falling into the hands of the elven nations.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.  It has a tracery 
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.

Chalice of Cathrys

  • Materials: forty-five percent sapphire, forty-five percent ruby, and nine percent gold
  • Damage Types:

  • Description' 
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

The Chime of Vel-Pirilon

  • 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.

  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: When uncharged, will absorb warpstones in the environment or in the inventory of the possessor. When charged, provides wingless flight and a spiritual regen boost.
  • 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

  • Location: Battleragers' Armoury
  • Materials: Gold
  • Restrictions: Must be a Battlerager with a high enough level of Clangedin's favour.

  • Damage Types: cutting, entropic, unholy, poison
  • Discharges: arcs of infernal lightning, streamers of foul darkness, streamers of swirling darkness,
  • Restrictions:

  • Extras: Does *not* Force-intro Unholy Taint. Tries to suffocate targets. Transfers vitality from its victims. Provides a +20 to thanaturgy. Try throwing it at a target for extra grins and giggles. Holding it without enough unholy taint makes it kill the hell out of you.
  • 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.

  • 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: sixty-five percent dweomer, twenty-eight percent horn, and seven percent kedusham
  • 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.

Kerisvexian

  • Type: Tresards
  • Location:
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a pair of tressards made of tenebrax.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  You recognize it as Kerisvexian, an 
artifact of uncertain origins.  Reportedly, wearing it upon one's wings, aside from protecting them quite well while causing 
minimal interference with their mobility, enhances one's speed, agility, and certain aspects of mental focus.  Further, 
subvocalizing the device's name while wearing it causes it to generate a potent magickal aura with its own unique properties,  
including additional protection, a frequent tendency to harm those attacking Kerisvexian's wearer, and enhancements to mobility.  
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 mazikah.  It looks about six and three quarters dimins long, five and
a twentieth dimins wide, a tenth of a dimin tall, and a twentieth of a dimin thick.  It weighs about nine hundredths of a dekan.  
You estimate its value at about four thousand seven hundred fifty gold.

Klisderamna Korryn

  • Type: Orb
  • Location: Finwe in Valathyr
  • Materials: sixty-seven percent andesite and thirty-three percent dweomer
  • Damage Types: burning sky
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Nine twentieths of a dimin across
  • Extras: When charged, gives situational awareness and discharges burning sky. Uses syrax for charging.
  • 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.

Levitational

  • Type:
  • Location:
  • Materials: Quartz
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: It looks about one and eleven twentieths dimins on a side. It weighs about seven and a half dekans.
  • Extras:
  • Description: This is an exquisitely-crafted quartz cube, about a dimin and a half on a side, with a gold model of a ship floating within it. You know this for a levitational, a magickal device designed to keep a windship afloat. These devices are of great value, and there are but three known cities where the art of their make is known.

Seismometron

  • Type: Box
  • Location: Kiralyn the Dust Scout
  • Materials: forty-seven percent sandalwood, twenty-nine percent ivory, fourteen percent melange, five percent iron, and four percent copper
  • Damage Types: N/A
  • Restrictions: N/A
  • Extras: Finds the Sand Worm.
  • Description: This is a rectangular box constructed from sandalwood set into a simple black iron frame. An ivory inlay on the box's side is faded with age, but still clearly shows some manner of giant multisegmented worm. While obviously hollow, there is no apparent means to open the box, although a copper dial mounted on a delicate spring mechanism protrudes from a small opening in the device's top surface. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. You know this to be a relic of ages past called Seismometron, long employed by desert scavengers who seek to harvest melange -- whether for profit, or their own addictions. The box contains a series of tiny springs which are extremely sensitive to vibrations. When placed on flat ground, the device uses these sensitive springs to detect the ground shaking movements of the giant worms that excrete melange as a waste product even from a great distance away. More importantly, the dial atop the mechanism will point towards the source of these vibrations, when possible. Historically, there were a great many such devices, but tracking gargantuan, man-eating worms in the desert wastes comes with its own unique set of dangers, so most of these have been lost to the ages. It looks about one dimin on a side. It weighs about one and one hundred eighty-nine two-hundredths dekans. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.

Sharra

  • Type: Intense Red Psionic matrix
  • Location: Random load
  • Materials: Quartz

  • 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.

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.

You recognize it as the one-of-a-kind ioun stone that is persistently called the Eye of Svarog, though who or what Svarog is or may have been is little in evidence. It is known for aiding its user in invocation, inducing an affinity to fire, magnifying the capacity to perform great physical exertions, honing the killer instinct, and increasing willpower. 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 and a few thin wisps of prismatic radiance. You appraise it at one gold.

  • Materials: eighty-eight percent kedusham and twelve percent silver
  • Damage Types: Depends on ammo launched.
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: Specially made to fight against undead.
  • Description:

This is a heavy crossbow made of white silver. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. The village of Thessalae, before its fall, was protected from evil by its champion, Sanolin. In Sanolin's hands at all times rested Shadowsbane, a gleaming silver crossbow which radiated an aura of purity. Undead and their ilk crumbled to dust when a bolt from Shadowsbane penetrated their dark hearts. The village was kept safe until, on one fateful day, Sanolin was kidnapped by a band of slave-hunting vlekthid. The crossbow fell to the ground, its light blinking out. Almost instantly,the terrible Ytzine plague decimated the village, killing all but Sanolin and the vlekthid raiders, who had escaped. Shadowsbane choked in the filth of the village for many years, but now, it has been unearthed, to destroy impurity once again. It is permeated by a white light. It is in perfect condition.

Metaflux

  • Type: All, random.
  • Location: Random
  • Materials: fifty-nine percent warpstone, twenty-nine percent xorakas, and twelve percent shekhinam
  • 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.

  • Materials: sixty-seven percent shekhinam and thirty-three percent rosewood
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: It looks about a tenth of a dimin across and one and three fifths dimins around.
  • 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.

  • Size:
  • Extras: Discharges arcs of lightning.
  • Description:

This is a bastard sword with a black adamantium hilt engraved with arcane runes and a blade that appears to be made of solidified lightning. It gives off a continual hissing and crackling as its energies seethe and churn. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. You recognize it as Czaklash, an artifact of power created by agencies unknown in the distant past. The substance of its blade is indeed lightning made solid, and the potency of these energies is said to be such that even beings normally unfazed by electrical discharges can be harmed or killed by this weapon. Its power and nature are believed to derive from the outer plane of Lakan, mainly because when it is found, it is nearly always there, and it seems able to return there when not held closely by an owner. It is permeated by an auroric radiance. It has a tracery of lightning and a webwork of shimmering radiance within and around it. It is in perfect condition. It looks about thirteen and a half dimins long, seven tenths of a dimin wide, and a twentieth of a dimin tall. It weighs about eleven fortieths of a dekan. It is giving off light. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold. You are holding it.

Qazadar

  • Type: Longsword
  • Location: Random load
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types: Various
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras: Damage type depends on wielder's alignment, doing damage of an opposite type (i.e. a good wielder would do unholy damage).
  • Description:

This is a longsword made of urgyras and carbonite. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. Shifting glows of varied colors, some changing, some steady, escape from within its substance, giving the impression that it contains a variety of arcane forces struggling against one another for dominance. You recognize it as Qazadar, a weapon reputed to have been forged in the course of a great war before the dawn of the world. Sometimes called the Blade of Conflict, it is known to contain potent essences of chaos and order, good and evil, somehow bound together as a weapon. Apparently it aligns itself in opposition to its wielder, leading to the legend that a good man will do evil by its use and an evil man will do good. It has a few thin wisps of coruscating silvery radiance, a few thin wisps of shimmering radiance, a webwork of auroric radiance, a webwork of dark radiance, a webwork of pulsing chaotic glow, a webwork of golden light, and a webwork of white light within and around it. It is in perfect condition. It looks about three twentieths of a dimin wide and fourteen dimins long. It weighs about seven tenths of a dekan. You estimate its value at about four thousand eight hundred gold.

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

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.
