- 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: Cutting, Entropy, Primal.

- 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.
Dyad
- Type: Greataxe
- Location: Random Load
- Materials: twenty percentxorakas, twenty percent lexoth, twenty percent lzarawn, twenty percent kedusham, twenty percent iron, one percent leather, and one percent eog drifts
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size: three fifths of a dimin wide and fourteen and a half dimins long.
- Extras:
- Description: This is a greataxe made of solid red iron. Though the bulk of the weapon
is of crude metal and wicked shape -- the double blades being partially serrated and the pommel and head being spiked -- the overall craftsmanship is unearthly, and an eog is set in the middle of the blades, just above the top of the haft. The eog is lined horizontally with a ring of dense lexoth runes and vertically-diagonally with a spiral of thin xorakas runes. On the inward part of the double blades that serve as a setting, one half is lined with a half-circle of kedusham runes and the other half a half-pentagram of lzarawn runes. The haft itself is wrapped in thick black leather strips. This is the ancient weapon known as Dyad, though it is has many older and names: Seperator, Morsindel, Shikami, God Drinker, and probably countless forgotten others. It reentered the historical record several centuries ago when it was wielded by the enslaved orc Galgarol against his captors. Since then it has appeared occasionally in stories and modern legends, many of them almost certainly exaggerated, involving orcs slaying everything from human jailors, to demonic powers, to angelic tormentors.
Edgewild

- Location: Random Load
- Materials: forty-three percent lexoth, forty-three percent adamantite, eleven percent gold, and two percent meteoric iron

- 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.

This is an activated flux greataxe, a shimmering black iron staff etched with energy-focusing patterns surmounted by a twin-headed axe-blade of shimmering blue psionic energy. There is a raised rectangular block of metal on the staff. This is Mindcleaver, a formidable artifact believed by some to be the first flux weapon ever created. Its precise origin remains a mystery, lost amid the stories of its devastating powers being employed by a panoply of psychically gifted warriors throughout its existence. It has a few thin streamers of shimmering haze and a webwork of starry radiance within and around it.

Zeal was forged several centuries ago by Alphaks as a gift to his most devoted warrior, the bane of thousands of his enemies.

- Description:
This is a giant axe made of ruby and blood-red steel. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. It emits a warm glow and occasionally lets off small showers of sparks. You recognize this as Hestjeger, the axe of Thurgg Bloodfist of The Crimson Fist. Legends say it was forged with phoenix fire. It is nicked and scratched with use but retains its incredible edge. Its blade is held in place by an ornamental iyiyik. The iyiyik grips the blade firmly within his claws, and is furiously snarling over its top edge.

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.

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.

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.

- 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 -- an assertion supported by the Istax soul-rune etched upon its shimmering obsidian handle -- 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 blade gives off a barely-perceptible milky-white glow, like a fragment of the moon honed into a cutting edge, and is surrounded by an aura of cold, as if it were drawing the heat out of the air around it. The thing is best-known for the black thanaturgic magicks it uses to draw the life from its victims -- though more recent tales tell of a propensity for turning on its wielder, a behavior not described in older accounts. Gnawing at the edges of your perception is an awareness of some kind of disembodied intellect lurking within the weapon -- something alien, something hungry. Most strangely, your examination reveals that the intelligence hosted in the device seems to be made up of both psionic and magickal energies, bound together in some kind of fusion -- a feat considered somewhere between unknown and strictly impossible in the theory of both disciplines.

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.

This is a giant hammer made of fiery granite and orange-runed black pyrax. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly.

Vigour is an ancient staff which has been long held by the kentaurs of Othrys for many years. According to Othrys legend, the staff was originally created by a wizened mage whose extreme lust for power and knowledge lead to a pact with angels and demons alike to create this magestic staff. A diamond forged by the holiest of angels, an onyx forged by the most demonic of demons, and an emerald forged of the most willful of humans lay upon the staff, creating a focus to enhance the power of the staff by the heart of the one who wields it. Mystic runes have been carved from top to bottom along the staff, and each rune shows a small story of a battle fought by angels and demons alike who have heard of the rare union by the forces of good and evil, creating the powerful staff known as Vigour. It is unknown whether these runes are of myth or truth, but the message is quite clear: great power awaits the one who wields this mystic staff. It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

The 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.

- Damage Types: Order
- Restrictions:
- Size: a twentieth of a dimin wide and fifteen dimins long
- Extras: Gives +60% attack rating
- Description:
This is a steel longsword of unearthly craftsmanship, with an edge whose glitter seems less a matter of reflecting light than of slicing it to shards. The apparent skill of its forging makes less of an impression, however, than the lines of glowing energy embedded within it, forming an odd pattern that tugs at the mind like a distant snatch of a song that one has not heard since childhood. This blade is named Meridiandal, and if legend holds true, it is the personal blade of Gavadel of Amber, and the lines within it are an image of a fragment of the Pattern, the source of cosmic order.

- Description:
A long, massive, ornate ebony blade of the otherworldly material lzarawn, borne of unholy sorcery. Hundreds of arcane symbols run its length, varying in size from more than half a dimin across to barely the size of the iris of a human eye. The pommel is of the same ebony material, but bound in leather, contrasting with the blade. The arcane symbols themselves are carved deeply into the material of the blade, and glow a faint crimson. Just above the pommel is a triangular guard, golden in color. You recognize it as a lzrelekos, one of a class of potent magickal weapons. The lzrelekoi are believed to be, one and all, demonic creatures bound into the shape of swords, their foul powers turned to the purpose of draining their victims' life-essence and transforming it into unholy strength for their wielders. The blood-thirst of the demon blades is also noted; the evil intelligences within them are said to often force their would-be masters to slay friends and innocents. This is Mournblade, a blade of power whose legend is often told as part of that of its sister-sword Stormbringer, though it is a potent evil in its own right. Like Stormbringer, it is known for the demonic strength granted its bearer and for the trail of blood and tears that follows that ill-starred individual. It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of shimmering radiance, a webwork of dark radiance, and a webwork of shimmering indigo haze.

This is a shortsword made of scarlet-runed night-black lzarawn. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. You recognize it as Nessavyn, a weapon fabricated in the hellfire furnaces of Asmodai's forge-city of Dis and imbued with their cruel energies. Contrary to what one might expect from its origins, it is an assassin's weapon, enchanted to help the wielder evade detection and harm while reaching a target quickly, only then to bring its full power to bear. It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of darkness and a few thin wisps of foulness. It looks about five and thirteen twentieths dimins long, nine twentieths of a dimin wide and a tenth of a dimin tall. It weighs about two and forty-one hundredths dekans.

- Damage Types: slashing, stabbing
- Restrictions:
- Size:
- Extras: Really likes killing orcs.
- Description:
This exquisitely-crafted mithril longsword is tapered to a keen edge, its hilt wrapped in aged leather strips. This sword is known to many as Orcrist, though the goblinoids who have come to fear it refer to the keen edge simply as Biter. Forged by master elven smiths during the wars against Ahrikol, the sword eventually fell into the possession of Duthien Morninglord, the current Armsmaster of Kolond. 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.

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

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.

The hilt is wrapped from pommel to crossguard in black leather. Scorch was the final lucid creation of the now mad artificer and pyromancer, Leonid of Devonshire. Rumour says that when a command word is spoken, the blade will burst into flames. These flames are harmless to the one who wields it, but deadly to the foe. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

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! William S. Gilbert

- Extras: Amazing damage output and specials, extremely expensive SP cost for same; introduces and uses the magickal skills Kineturgy and Viturgy
- Description:
This is a rapier of green-and-cyan adamantite with twin blades, each razor sharp, crafted skillfully into a double helix spiral so that the two blade tips just barely meet one another. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. It bears some stylized letters on the pommel. You recognize this as Viva, a prototype weapon made by the Sundown Ventures Company. Its production is known to have been halted after the creation of the first model, because of the expense of the enchantment procedures involved, among other things. It is said that its makers, consisting of practitioners of rare esoteric disciplines and artisan weapon manufacturers, managed to produce a weapon which draws upon the positive energies of the universe. These positive energies were used, not to restore life - as that would defeat the purpose of the weapon - but to attack it in a new way. Not only does the blade function this way, but the energies are also honed by the blade conversely, to the wielder, with mysterious effects. The prototype was seen to its completion, but upon analysis, it was not feasible for the company to mass produce weapons like this. The problem seemed to revolve around the fact that many of the esoteric disciplines involved in the weapon's creation were also necessary for its proper functioning in battle. No lore exists which reveals just what skills might be required to realize the full potential of this strange-looking sword. There are few left at the company who are even aware of Viva, let alone how it is rightly used in combat. You estimate that it is worth something upward of eight thousand gold.
It is in perfect condition. It looks about a twentieth of a dimin across and seventeen and a half
dimins long. It weighs about a tenth of a dekan.

What overshadows its construction, though, is the presence of lines of glowing energy embedded within the blade, forming a strange pattern that catches the eye oddly, giving a sensation like a word on the tip of one's tongue but still out of reach. The sword is named Werewindle, and is said to belong to Prince Julian of Amber; it is sister blade to Grayswandir, armament of Julian's brother Corwin. The legends say that the lines of power within the blade are a partial image of the Pattern itself, source of cosmic order.

Lines of glowing energy are embedded within it, linking into a strange pattern that toys with the eye, leaving flickering hints of significance slipping 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. It is permeated by a dim silvery light and a dim shimmering radiance.

red light that seems to emanate from nowhere. You know it to be the legendary Crown of Abaddon, a
powerful artifact from the plane of Sheol, once held by the fomor lord Ahrikol before its theft by
Tukrr, the Dark Aligned. It grants its wearer the power to summon a pillar of hellfire to engulf
their enemies, and absorbs the pain of those its wearer harms to empower one's ability to cause
further pain and suffering. You estimate its value at about two thousand two hundred gold. You
are wearing it.
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 a raktorak. It looks about a tenth of a dimin across and one and thirteen
twentieths dimins around. It weighs about a fifth of a dekan.

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.

Worked into the front of the circlet is one flawless white pearl and another of black, the serpents' coils holding them so as to allow them to rest at the center of one's forehead.

- Restrictions:
- Size: Intermediate, crafted for a human
- Extras: Provides one with a 'Bolt of Lightning' attack. Use command 'show attacks'.
- Description:
This is a circlet made of radium runes and electrum. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. This is an energeia kephale, an item that became popular with magi of Xintatlaa at the height of that civilization, but for which the enchantment technique has been long lost. Energon kephalai afford their bearers a certain procedural knowledge of esoteric energy channels, allowing them to execute simple but effective telesmatic attacks as a matter of course. They are not particularly energetically efficient, requiring fairly large amounts of spiritual energy for their effect. They were popular more as an easy means of magickal self-defense than a studied or refined technique for prolonged or repeated combat engagement. Despite this, they are still often sought after by those who need access to unusual types of energy: the circlets were occasionally constructed by a mage who desired a unique effect as a sort of flourish or signature. This required enchanting the device with flashy, difficult-to-generate energies, and these energies are often incidentally quite useful when faced with beings not harmed by more mundane effects. The inside of the circlet is inscribed with stylized versions of four letters: sigma, rho, epsilon, and sigma. This particular kephale is Euphoria Kephela, a crown worn by the Empress of Xintatlaa, empowered by the eskara that once fueled a magick-driven Xintatlaan economy. It is permeated by a dim auroric 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 a human. It looks about a twentieth of a dimin across and one and three fifths dimins around. It weighs about three fiftieths of a dekan. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.
Holhenneth
- Type: Helm
- Location: Finwe in Valathyr
- Materials: sixty-seven percent eleute and thirty-three percent logos
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size: One and four fifths dimins across and a twentieth of a dimin thick
- Extras:
- Description:
This helm, made of a translucent blue crystalline material, is shaped like a smooth cylinder with a dome top, with a 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 permeated by a dim shimmering radiance.

This is a phylactery, a sort of amulet, of a kind often bearing religious significance, mounted on a long strap, half extending from either side of it, intended to be wrapped around the arm or the forehead, made of bright green limestone. 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.

- Description:
This is a phylactery made of some smooth, shimmering substance. You know this for Ng'galgath Fthalg, a thing of awe-inspiring origins, being said to 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.

- Extras: Enhances Strength, Willpower
- Description:
This long cloak is apparently made from the silver-gray hide of a single huge wolf; the beast's face remains attached 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.

The Red Plate
- Type: Suit
- Location: Random-load
- Materials: sixty-three percent logos, thirty-one percent iron, and six percent leather
- 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.

- Size: Twentieth of a dimin long, three and three quarters dimins wide and four and three tenths dimins tall
- Extras: Makes its wearer ametabolic and removes their need to breathe.
- 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. This is Astralung, torso armour enchanted by the Wayfarer to allow him to travel through deep space. It is permeated by a dim golden light. It is in perfect condition. It is intermediate in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It looks about three and thirteen twentieths dimins tall, six and seven twentieths dimins wide, one and seven twentieths dimins long, and a twentieth of a dimin thick. It weighs about four and sixty-seven two-hundredths dekans. You estimate that it is worth something upward of seven thousand five hundred gold.
Skrukthmurgor
- Type: Hlunthmok (Bezhuldaar) armour
- Location: Perhaps random load
- Materials: Scarabinium
- Damage Types: A wave of entropy flows from Skrukthmurgor.
- Restrictions:
- Size: It is huge in size and weighs about seventy dekans.
- Extras: Varied extra damage and protection based off skills.
- Description:
This is a hlunthmok, an exotic form of armour designed for the needs of the bezhuldaar race, mostly spherical in shape, hinged so as to open like a clamshell, with a collection of ten flexible tubular assemblies for the wearer's eyestalks on one side and, about ninety degrees from that, a smaller hinged opening for the mouth below a set of horizontal slits for the central eye to look out of, made of mottled fuchsia scarabinium. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. You recognize it as Skrukthmurgor, the armour of Vomurkex, the hideous undead bezhuldaar who terrorized the Altrian Empire with its shambling legions for decades. After being soundly defeated and losing two of its eyestalks at the Second Battle of Thessalae, Vomurkex was not seen for several years; at its next appearance, it wore Skrukthmurgor, evidently having obtained or created it in locales unknown. With this new protection, Vomurkex was all but invulnerable, making its unexplained disappearance in the middle years of the Empire all the more mysterious. Besides being superbly difficult to penetrate, Skrukthmurgor is said to adapt itself to protect against the attack forms used against its wearer, drawing upon hir native abilities to do so. Sages disagree as to what capacities on the part of the wearer are most important, but the thanaturgy that Vomurkex was so skilled with is doubtless one of them, and mages trained in the manipulation of elemental earth sometimes report feeling a kind of natural affinity for the artifact. Mental focus seems relevant, as do the power manipulation capabilities native to bezhuldaars; more than this is not known. It is said to have other powers, such as periodically discharging a powerful wave of death-force when its wearer is in combat. Moreover, apparently all of these powers are of some sort of primal nature that is utterly unperturbed by forces, such as the ability of the bezhuldaar central eye, that interfere with ordinary magicks.
Meepo's Aegis
- Type: Hauberk
- Location: Random Load
- Materials: sixty-four percent obsidian, seventeen percent padding, six percent lzarawn, six percent dweomer and six percent coruscar
- Damage Types:

Needs 1000 charges before the dragon can be summoned. Charges are accumulated by killing creatures, and the amount of charge is determined by that creature's level/10. Charges are reset if the Aegis is removed or if you reincarnate.
- Description:
This is a hauberk made of coruscar gem studding, lzarawn, and obsidian heavy mail. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. One of the first Odaxi kobold adventurers to rise to a high station was the kobold known as Meepo, sometimes called Meepo the Dragon-Keeper. Famed for surviving a lengthy existence as the keeper of a frost-breathing dragon against long odds, Meepo's Aegis protects its wearer against fire, cold, and evil magicks, as well as offering lesser protection against some other elements. It is capable of absorbing trace amounts of energy from those its wearer slays in battle, and if enough energy is absorbed, the wearer can summon a dragon mount for a time by believing in the power of Gurbodax. To banish one's dragon mount, disbelieve in dragons. It has a few thin wisps of blackness, a few thin wisps of shimmering violet radiance, and a tracery of auroric radiance within and around it. It is diminutive in size. It appears to you as if it was crafted for a kobold.

(Based on when I got it just recently, it gives minor boosts to various resistances; significant (~40) boosts to most Fieldcraft skills, Centering, Equilibrium,Hardiness and Resilience; and serious (~100) boosts to Entropy Resistance and Recuperation. This was as an S/O Aisenshi Attuned druergar with zero sephirotic affinity and low order affinity.) -- Korazer, APR 28, 2014
- Description:

- 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.

- Extras: Cycles between 10 runes and 13 gems in combination. Each rune and gem coordinates to a specific magickal skill.
- Description:
This ring is constructed from gold and silver bands fused together side-by-side. Between the two bands is a series of large cut gemstones affixed into delicate settings that reach outward from each band in an alternating pattern. 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
- Type: Flower
- Location: Random Load
- 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. It weighs very little. You estimate its value at about five thousand gold.
Twinblossom
- Type: Gauntlet
- Location: Random Load
- Materials: Uru
- Damage Types:

- 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.

It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

- Extras: increases axe skill and strength the longer it is worn
- Description:
This seems to be a ring formed of ice and dweomer which encircles the ring in lazily moving wisps. You know this ring to be Gresjevrek the Nevermelting, a ring that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Legend has it that the ring was traditionally passed from one thondak champion to the next. It is said that the ring continually refreezes, growing more and more powerful over time.

- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size: Twentieth of a dimin across and a tenth of a dimin around
- Extras: Boosts several attributes when worn.
- 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.

- Extras: Provides various skill and combat boosts to those with skill in thanaturgy.
- Description:
This is a ring made of bloodstone and bone. The quality of its craftsmanship is fair. This is Odal Ossu, carved from the fingerbone of the lich Yakalzzagyr and set with the gem where once he hid his soul. Reputedly the artifact contains a powerful unholy essence that reacts to a similar essence in its wearer with a benison of fortifying foul energies, and in the hands of one attuned to the spirits of the dead, causes their subtle voices to give counsel in the ways of battle. Accounts would have that the power infused in the device is sufficient that these potent effects result in only a minor drain on the wearer's spirit.

- Size: about a twentieth of a dimin across and a fifth of a dimin around.
- Extras: This ring is used for entering the Glomerates association.
- Description:
This is an exquisitely-crafted ring composed out of a single smooth piece of silver. It reflects and absorbs the light oddly, sometimes casting back glints of dazzling color, sometimes gleaming with faint and ghostly hues. There is a small harlequin opal set into the inside of the band. The gem seems to separate two written phrases: EX NIHIL SUM and IN NIHIL SUM. It has a tracery of shimmering radiance within and around it.
Profusion Gauntlet
- Type: left gauntlet
- Location: Random Load
- Materials: unknown percentage of uru and other materials

- Extras: Pzyruxal gems can be slotted into it to increase its powers and unlock abilities
- Description:
This is a left gauntlet made of radiant golden Uru. The quality of its craftsmanship is unearthly. It has five small, circular grooves located above each knuckle. You recognize this as the Profusion Gauntlet. Rumored to be crafted for Odin by Hephaestus during an attempt to prolong Ragnarok, but he deemed its capabilities far too dangerous and locked it away for countless ages. Capable of great power, this gauntlet can accept the insertion of the five essence gems. Upon each gem that becomes inserted the power imbued into its wielder becomes bolstered. It is said that the wielder will posses a deadly cosmic force when the gauntlet contains the complete set.
You sense your Profusion Gauntlet allowing you to will yourself to exhibit the introspective power of any inserted essence gem.

Belamvor Korryn

- Materials: Hematite
- Restrictions:
- Size: nine twentieths of a dimin across
- Extras: Consumes nearby coruscars for power. Provides a buff for a duration.
- Description:
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

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 drifts into your mind like a

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: Tap Chime to summon Lhethan Hagal
- 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: Randomload
- 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.

- Materials: sixty-seven percent marcasite and thirty-three percent dweomer
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size:
- Extras: When uncharged, will absorb a warpstone in the environment or in the inventory of the possessor. When charged, provides wingless flight. The charge does not last very long, and provides no expiration warning. The charge reportedly lasts longer with higher Order Favour.
- 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.

- Size: Eight dimins long, six dimins wide, a tenth of a dimin tall, and a twentieth of a dimin thick.
- Weight: Twenty-nine two-hundredths of a dekan.
- 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. Kerisvexian was created by Chaos; the source code was last updated Thu Apr 07 16:36:53 2011. The pair of tressards armour type was created by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Fri Jun 24 15:45:46 2011. The material tenebrax was created by Chaos, Typhon, and Chance and is maintained by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Sun Mar 20 14:47:14 2011
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

- 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
- Damage Types: ball of fire
- Restrictions: Requires the user to posess a Psychic Wild Talent, and that the user bonds to it.
- Size: Half a dimin long, three tenths of a dimin wide and a quarter of a dimin tall.
- Extras: Increases equilibrium skill under unknown circumstances.
- 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.

This is a exquisitely-crafted gold sceptre adorned along its shaft with ruby settings of varying sizes. Crafted by the best dwarven smiths and heavily enchanted, this sceptre was created to serve as a symbol of Kolond's sovereignty. It is rumoured among the dwarves of Kolond that so long as their king possesses this sceptre, no enemy -- great or small -- can conquer their stronghold. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance. It is in perfect condition. It looks about thirteen twentieths of a dimin across and four and a fifth dimins long. It weighs about twelve dekans.

- Location: Thessalae
- Materials: eighty-eight percent kedusham and twelve percent silver
- Damage Types: Depends on ammo launched.
- Restrictions:

- 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.
Whatnot
- Type: "Weapons" (Becomes anything defined as a weapon type but isn't a "normal" weapon, utensils, tools, random wacky things like dusters and hand puppets.)
- Location: Presumably Random (Found it in a stasis egg)
- Materials: fifty-nine percent warpstone, twenty-nine percent xorakas, and twelve percent shekhinam
- Damage Types: All, random.
- Restrictions:
- Size: Random, based on weapon type.
- Extras: Is a Taraxi-style weapon, so affected by factors that improve those.
- Description:
This is a needle composed of warpstone. Occasional bursts of energy arc forth from it. According to legend, the Discordian artifact Whatnot was created when such a mighty blow was struck with the not-entirely-dissimilar Metaflux that a piece snapped off. The details of who was striking whom are a matter of such wild and varied contention as to be best left to the imagination. Like Metaflux, Whatnot is described as continually shifting through a bizarre variety of forms and bringing forth a wide variety of esoteric energies. It appears to be composed of a few thin wisps of pulsing chaotic glow. You estimate its value at about four thousand seven hundred fifty gold. You are holding it.
The Pestilent Crown
- Type: Crown
- Location:
- Materials: sixty-seven percent shekhinam and thirty-three percent rosewood
- Damage Types: wearing gives you a vomit attack
- 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.

- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size: Crafted for a Kedeth
- Extras:
- Description:
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.
Czaklash
- Type: Bastard sword
- Location: Lakhan

- Damage Types: Electrical, possibly some primal
- Restrictions: If not held or wielded, will quickly depart back to Lakan.
- 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.

Rumours abound that the first tribal leader of the Demonese savages forged the
weapon himself, eons ago. The blade is rather notched, due to decades of use,
but still holds a keen edge, despite its age and history.
It looks about two fifths of a dimin wide and twelve and a half dimins long.
It weighs about five and nine twentieths dekans.

- Description: This is a scarab made of opalescent material. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. This is Kamonthept-Ka, a relic of the ancient world. Worn by various of the greatest warriors of the Istax Empire, those who opposed its bearer are said to have fallen with their strength consumed. Yet, one way or another, those bearers always met their end regardless, some of them in particularly horrific ways. You estimate its value at about five thousand seven hundred gold. You are holding it.
Meridiandal
- Type: sword
- Location: Random Load
- Materials:
- Damage Types: Order
- Restrictions:
- Size: Longsword
- Extras: Gives +60% attack rating
- Description:
This is a steel longsword of unearthly craftsmanship, with an edge whose glitter seems less a matter of reflecting light than of slicing it to shards. The apparent skill of its forging makes less of an impression, however, than the lines of glowing energy embedded within it, forming an odd pattern that tugs at the mind like a distant snatch of a song that one has not heard since childhood. This blade is named Meridiandal, and if legend holds true, it is the personal blade of Gavadel of Amber, and 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. You estimate that it is worth something upward of six thousand gold. It is in perfect condition. It looks about a twentieth of a dimin wide and fifteen dimins long.
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 16:23:35 2007.
Whammo
- Type: Yo-yo
- Location': Random load
- Materials: Sixty-two percent diamond, thirty-one percent xorakas, six percent shekhinam, and one percent adamantium.
- Damage Types: Semi-randomish, with an apparent bias towards chaotic ones.

- 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: Unknown
- 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.

Atomizer
- Type: Hammer
- Location: Random load
- Materials:
- Damage Types:
- Restrictions:
- Size:
- Extras: Varied extra damage with power source.
- Description: This is a big hammer made of black steel. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. It has a small compartment in its head, closed with a panel on a hinge. You recognize it as Atomizer, a powerful weapon of apparently recent origin and unknown provenance. It is claimed that it has the capacity to extract esoteric energies from some varieties of object placed in the compartment in its head and apply them to its attacks. The main power source it is said to draw on are certain augmentor crystal fragments used by Leonid of Devonshire. Reportedly, it slowly damages the gems as it draws upon them, so that they must periodically be replaced, but they last for a considerable time.

Chaos Fang
(Removed from game, change 6722)

- Location: Sang-drax in the Obsidia
- 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.
Hand of Vazaith

- Materials: ninety-one percent qlippotam and nine percent flesh
- Damage Types: cutting, entropic, unholy, poison

- Size: It looks less than a twentieth of a dimin on a side.
- 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.

- 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.

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.

With the rapid gain in knowledge over the past years, the weapon was reforged into its current form. You estimate its value at about three thousand six hundred gold.
