Axes

Axe of Dunbar

The handle of this ancient mithril battleaxe is worn and smooth, but the blade has remained incredibly sharp.  Faint, unreadable symbols mark the 
base of the weapon.  You recognize this as the Axe of Dunbar.  The worn symbols are the marks of dwarven smiths, but their fading makes it difficult 
to tell the exact origins of the axe.  Legend places it at least as old as the Cleansing War, which took place nearly six hundred years ago.

Blackheart

  • Type: Battleaxe
  • Location: Kham in Togrek
  • Materials: Adamantite
  • Damage Types: Slashing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Eleven twentieths of a dimin wide and twelve and a half dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
A light, agile battleaxe of black adamantite with strange runes inlaid into the surface of its head in ruby.  Along the handle appears to be more 
conventional script, this simply etched into the metal.  Its pommel is a smooth obsidian hemisphere that glows with a ghostly opalescence.  The quality 
of its craftsmanship is excellent.  You recognize this as Blackheart, the weapon famed as the slayer of the elflord Cetelias Donaquin.

Edgewild

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

Thalgan Kor

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

Zeal

  • Type: Greataxe
  • Location: Estar's chest in Corna
  • Materials: Steel
  • Damage Types: Slashing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seven tenths of a dimin wide and eleven and a half dimins long
  • Extras: Occasionally sends the wielder into a berserk rage.
  • Description: 
This vicious steel greataxe has been dyed dark crimson from the blood of its countless victims, save for the razor edge, 
which remains strangely clean and sharp.  The long, thick handle is made from carved black steel with braided metallic 
cords offering a harsh, yet firm, grip.  Zeal was forged several centuries ago by Alphaks as a gift to his most devoted 
warrior, the bane of thousands of his enemies.  Smiths wrought this fervent malice into the fearsome weapon, permeating it 
with an insatiable bloodlust.  Zeal's voracity is rumoured to exceed that of any bearer since.

Bows

Illyana's Rage

  • Type: Longbow
  • Location: Avenging Vision in Shadowmyrk
  • Materials: Mithril
  • Damage Types: Dependant upon arrows fired from it.
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Tenth of a dimin across and sixteen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a longbow made of mithril.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  When the Kinslayer War raged 
millenia ago between the corrupt elves of Nibenay and the alliance of elven civilizations which rose against them, 
the first and most tragic casualty was the kind-hearted and well-beloved Prince Laridan of Mynaecelani, treacherously 
slain by Vandyron of Nibenay while pursuing a mission of peace between the nations.  Laridan's betrothed, Illyana, 
a woman greatly skilled in both war and sorcery, crafted in her bereavement the enchanted bow called Illyana's Rage, 
instilling it with her anger and anointing it with her tears.  It is said that the weapon's magick will not rest until 
the last descendant of Nibenay is dust.  It has outlived the nation of Nibenay by aeons, but still ceaselessly seeks 
the destruction of that place's descendents, the folk now known as the drow.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.

Eidolon

  • Location: Terethrond in Losthaven
  • Materials: Mellryn with Silver string
  • Damage Types: Dependant upon arrows fired from it.
  • Restrictions:

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

Bludgeons

  • Size: Four fifths of a dimin across and five and two fifths dimins long

citizens of Jhan had commisioned for Nareth when he became ruler.  Glory is a symbol for all Nareth stands for, and he will not willingly allow it to fall
into evil hands.  It is permeated by a silvery light.

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

Var Kunai

  • Type: Mace
  • Location: Stephan Steelhammer
  • Materials: Mithril
  • Damage Types: Crushing
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Three quarters of a dimin across and four and nine tenths dimins long
  • Extras: Part of Destruction of a Horror quest
  • Description: 
This exquisite mithril mace was forged from the purest mithril and polished to a brilliant sheen.  Several elvish runes and other strange 
dwarvish runic markings decorate  the pommel and head of the weapon.  The runes are dark and lifeless.  The spherical head is covered in dozens 
of sharpened razor tipped spikes half a dimin in length.  Its pommel has several strips of soft black leather twisted ornately across the markings, 
providing the wielder with a sturdy grip.  Var Kunai, also called The Shadow of the Everburning Flame,  is a beautifully sculpted mace.  
Forged by the elves and dwarves in a combined effort long ago to maintain the balance. It was carried by Stephan Steelhammer against 
Kali and her foul minion Key-Atemi.

Zrael

  • Location: Phalyre in Et'zlaerhi

  • Damage Types: Crushing Temporal

  • Extras: Allows you to port to Named individuals. Also allows one to teleport items from NPCs or even players.
  • 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.

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

Katelyn's Dagger

  • Type:
  • Location:
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:

  • Description:

Quantum

  • Type Dagger
  • Location Mok A'tal
  • Materials Iron
  • Damage Type
  • Restrictions
  • Size Three fifths of a dimin wide and seven and thirteen twentieths dimins long
  • Extras Used as a turn-in for travelers.
  • 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

This is a dagger of orichalcum, made with exquisite craftsmanship in an ancient style.  The blade is polished 
to a mirror-like sheen.  The hilt is carved to resemble a lion grasping a large emerald in its mouth.  You recognize 
this as Snarl, one of the most famous weapons from the elven house of Es'trazian.  It was carried in both the Goblin 
Wars and the Wars of Purity.  Fortunately, it shed no blood in the Kinslayer Wars, as its wielder refused to 
participate.  Stories claim that much of the dagger's  power stems from the gem, and that any tampering will result 
in the magick's disruption.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

Soulshard

  • Type: Dagger
  • Location: Amado on R'lyeh
  • Materials: Obsidian and Metal
  • Damage Types: Entropic and Slashing
  • Restrictions: Wielding it with low willpower is almost certain death.
  • Size:
  • Extras: Soulshard leeches the energy of opponents based upon how hungry it is. These boons range from haste, health regenerate rate, and maximum health increases.
  • Description: 
This long, opalescent dagger is the weapon called Soulshard, a device of malign power which has plagued the world across the ages.  Some accounts claim
it was created in the time of the ancient Istax Empire, while others contend that that was merely when the blade was fitted with its current pommel and in
fact its evil is far older still in origin.  The weapon's handle is of shimmering obsidian etched with a strange, curving rune; its blade gives off a
barely-perceptible milky-white glow, like a fragment of the moon honed into a cutting edge.  It is surrounded by an aura of cold, as if it were drawing the
heat out of the air around it.  The thing is known to employ black necromantic magicks to draw the life from its victims, to the wielder's benefit -- though
rumors hold that these magicks can somehow turn on an unwary master.  Gnawing at the edges of your perception is an awareness of some kind of disembodied
intellect lurking within the weapon -- something alien, something hungry.  Strangely, your examination reveals that the psyche hosted in the weapon is an
elemental intelligence bound to, or perhaps grown out of, the necromantic magicks permeating the device, but that this structure is somehow bound up
with some strange construct made of a form of energy unknown to you, of which you can barely perceive hints.

Flails

Bloodwake

Ektharnor Gadel

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.

Hammers

Mithril Warhammer

a tracery of prismatic radiance within and around it.

Yehovah's Hammer

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.

Pole Arms

Daemonicus Omega

  • Type: Pole Arm and Axe
  • Location: Reanada in Shadow Tower
  • Materials: [[Materials|Diamond]

  • 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.

Rods

Rod of Power

  • Type: Rod
  • Location: Jubal in Sanctuary
  • Materials: Mithril, Ebony, Glass
  • Damage Types: Cycling/Random
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and eleven dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This ebony rod is etched with dozens of whisper-thin silvery lines.  An ornamental mithril banding holds a small 
glass sphere prominently atop the shaft; its interior filled with a whirling mass of earthy smoke.  You recognize 
this as the Rod of Power, a device that channels raw elemental forces and puts them in the command of its wielder; 
directing them as bolts of destructive energy upon command.  While more common wands and staves contain only a limited 
charge and cease to function after using it up, there is no known limit to the power this device can draw upon.  It is 
permeated by an auroric radiance.

Shields

Albedo

  • Type: Shield
  • Location: Crystal Caves
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types:

  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seven and nine twentieths dimins across and a twentieth of a dimin long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a kite shield made of hellish plasma, lzarawn and mithril.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  
Its hellish plasma washes across its outer surface in a continuous roiling wash, giving off a low crackling sound.  
You recognize it as Tirithmangar, an artifact of power whose earliest known appearance is as a gift from Ahrikol to 
Tirith Selenis, a Ringwielder and patrician of Altri.  Ahrikol, expressing appreciation of Tirith's great ambition, 
said that this accoutrement would reward such daring, increasing in potency the more powerful one's opponents became.  
It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.  It has a few thin streamers of lightning, a tracery of shimmering radiance, 
a webwork of darkness and a webwork of foulness within and around it.

  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seven and a half dimins across and a twentieth of a dimin long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a kite shield made of white steel.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  Lines of glowing energy are embedded within it,
describing a strange pattern that attracts one's attention like the hint of a taste that one cannot quite identify.  Its name is Yrenasand, and story would
have that it is the personal shield of Gavadel of Amber, and that the lines within it are an image of a fragment of the Pattern, the source of cosmic
order.  It is permeated by a shimmering radiance.  It has a webwork of silvery light and a webwork of white light within and around it.

Podgebounce

  • Type: Variable
  • Location: Random Load
  • Materials: Warpstone
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: One and thirteen twentieths dimins across and a quarter of a dimin long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a razor buckler composed of warpstone.  Occasional bursts of energy arc forth from it.  This is the ancient 
(as these things go) Discordian artifact Podgebounce.  Though somewhat less famous than its sister weapon, Metaflux, 
Podgebounce also has a distinguished history of opposing the forces of dullness and boredom -- "order", if you 
like -- in the hands of Eris's chosen heroes.  Like Metaflux, Podgebounce is known for continually drawing on different 
elemental energies and changing the shape it wears, though in its case it always takes the form of some kind of shield, 
as it appears to have more of a protective role to play.

Spears

Jerica

  • Type: Spear
  • Location: Kyros in Mycenae
  • Materials: Bone
  • Damage Types: Cold and Stabbing
  • Restrictions: May only be wielded by ordered characters. The spear will punish you severely for attacking anything with ordered alignment.

weapon of long past days.  It is reportedly forged only by the most talented craftsman with a secret supply of magical 
true silver.  The weapon is about eight feet long and tipped with the brilliant metal.  It is perfectly balanced and 
is said to be the bane of evil dragons when wielded by one of pure heart.  It is permeated by a dim white light.

Staves

Alahamorithil

  • Type: Staff
  • Location: Mettik in Jhan
  • Materials: Black Oak
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and eighteen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a quarterstaff made of black oak.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  The black oak of the 
quarterstaff has a fine luster, despite its appearance of great age.  Its entire length has been carved with eldritch 
symbols that shimmer and pulse with light.  You know this for Alahamorithil, the runestaff crafted by Mettik of Jhan 
to focus and channel his arcane powers.  Carved from the heart of a black oak from the depths of a great forest of Barsaive 
and marked with great runes of order, it is a potent object of power for the right wielder.

Athlasar

This is a staff made of eog gem banding and mithril.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  Despite its 
simplicity of form, there is a sense of presence and power about it.  This is Athlasar, the legendary staff of the 
rulers of the Istax Empire.  It was lost for nearly a millenium and was recently recovered by the half-elven adventurer 
Amlithor Harlguss.

Plage

  • Type: Staff
  • Location: Lacantius Magnus
  • Materials: Flamra
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size:
  • Extras:

Singularity Staff

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

Snapdragon

  • Type: Hoopak

  • Damage Types: Damage types and discharges vary upon alignment
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Seventeen twentieths of a dimin across and eighteen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
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.

Swords

Arktakar

  • Type: Scimitar
  • Location: Xalquarae in Shadow Tower
  • Materials: Iron

  • Restrictions: Must be evil alignment
  • Size: 11.5 dimins long, 0.45 dimins wide, 0.1 dimins tall
  • Extras: Will force you to attack people in the room
  • Description: 
The blade of this ancient weapon seems to release an unholy glow into the surrounding area, further enhancing the evil 
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 
an offering to Ahrikol, in an attempt to appease the fomor lord.  Legends conflict on whether the Lord of the Rings ever wielded 
this weapon, but its unholy power can not be denied.

Variabilis

  • Location: Random Load, will get a message such as 'Your pack feels heavier.'
  • Materials:
  • Damage Types: Slashing and Chaos (hidden)
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Twentieth of a dimin across and seventeen and a half dimins long
  • Extras: Increases your luck.
  • Description:

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!

Tential.  Vanguard was the first sword created by Exis, and like the tarot's Ace of Swords, it is the embodiment of triumph and conquest.  Vanguard has
been passed down through the ages among patriarchal families, usually of noble blood.  It has been used in countless wars, and has always brought victory to
its owners both in battle and in other pursuits.  It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance.

  • Materials: Steel
  • Damage Types:

  • Size: Twentieth of a dimin wide and fifteen dimins long
  • Extras:
  • Description: 
This is a steel longsword of unearthly craftsmanship, honed to an edge that looks fit to cleave diamond.  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.  It is permeated by a shimmering radiance.  It has a webwork of silvery light within and around it.

  • Description: 
This is a helm made of steel.  The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite.  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.

The Dragon-Helm of Dor-Lomin

This helmet is of ancient, yet sturdy construction.  It is made of mithril of unheard-of black hue, and offers full 
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.

semblance of twining serpents.  If followed carefully with the eye, an endless, intricate knot becomes evident.

them so as to allow them to rest at the center of one's forehead.  This is the Circlet of Clarity, said to possess 
the power to enhance the telepathic abilities of one's mind, allowing expansion of sight beyond normal vision and

of Yathryn, Talzras Et'hatiar, who used its power to draw to herself the followers she needed to bring about the city's creation.

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 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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Materials: Ruby

  • 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.

power of a unicorn horn is used, it will be depleted for a time while the horn slowly absorbs mana from the surrounding 
environment.  You can sense that this one is presently filled with power.  You can also sense that it was taken when its 
bearer was slain, rather than being given freely.  This is the Horn of Calais, containing the final, captured essence of 
the unicorn that once roamed the forested precinct of Calais.  It is permeated by an auroric radiance.  It has a 
tracery of white light within and around it.

Klisderamna Korryn

  • Type: Orb
  • Location: Finwe in Valathyr
  • Materials: Glowing yellow andesite
  • Damage Types:
  • Restrictions:
  • Size: Nine twentieths of a dimin across
  • Extras: Gives off light
  • Description: 
This is an orb made of glowing yellow andesite.  The quality of its craftsmanship is excellent.  It pulses 
slowly with an intense yellow light, in a rhythm almost like the breathing of someone asleep.  This is 
Klisderamna Korryn, the mysterious orb carried by the merchant prince Habal Motusson in the early days of the 
Altrian Empire.  To it are ascribed the sudden deaths of a number of highwaymen who set upon him, as well as his 
often-uncanny reflexes.  Motusson is said to have always been on the lookout for the exotic metallic resin called 
syrax, and to have paid high prices for it; there may be a connection with this artifact involved.  It is permeated 
by a dim auroric radiance.

  • 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.
