Pendant of the Hand

Wondrous item, common (requires attunement)

This small silver pin is crafted in the shape of a hand making a magical gesture. Once attuned, you can cast mage hand at will. MAGIC ITEMS

Philosopher’s Stone

Wondrous item, legendary

This rare substance appears to be an ordinary, sooty piece of blackish rock. If the stone is broken open (break DC 20), a cavity is revealed at the stone’s heart. This cavity is lined with a magical type of quicksilver that enables any arcane spellcaster to transmute base metals (iron and lead) into silver and gold.

A single philosopher’s stone can turn from up to 5,000 pounds of iron into silver, or up to 1,000 pounds of lead into gold. However, the quicksilver becomes unstable once the stone is opened and loses its potency within 24 hours, so all transmutations must take place within that period.

The quicksilver found in the center of the stone may also be put to another use. If mixed with any cure potion while the substance is still potent, it creates a special oil of life that acts as a true resurrection spell for any dead body it is sprinkled upon.

Major Artifacts

Major artifacts are unique items—only one of each such item exists. These are the most potent of magic items, capable of altering the balance of a campaign. Unlike all other magic items, major artifacts are not easily destroyed. Each should have only a single, specific means of destruction.

The Bones of Azurewrath

Artifact, requires attunement

Long ago, during the Dark Ages of Amberos, a mighty wizard grew in power in the Skyland Hold. The mage was named Azurewrath, and he was second only to the Warlord Volk, who ruled the Skyland Hold. He led the fiendish armies of the Skyland Hold into battle, with two powerful Balors at his side as bodyguards.

He was ultimately defeated by trickery when King Flanan of the Kingdom of Malovak, his squire James and his court wizard Ooglaa the Wise captured Azurewrath’s phylactery and offered it to the Balors under Azurewrath’s control. When a massive battle broke out over the phylactery, Ooglaa broke his staff of the magi, consuming the lich, its phylactery and the two Balors in an explosion that scattered the lich’s remains across the world and planes of existance.

The bones of Azurewrath appear to be the blackened, nearly petrified remains of a human male about 6’ 2”. The bones are individual, and the more that have been assembled, the more powerful the bones become.

The amount of power a being gains from the bones of Azurewrath depends on how much of the skeleton is present. Constant powers are always in effect. To use the lesser powers of the bones, the bones must merely be held. To gain the major powers of the bones, a spellcaster must willingly hold the bones against the area they would normally be found. Upon doing so, the spellcaster’s flesh opens, the bone is drawn in and replaces the old bone. This act also allows the spellcaster to use the lesser and constant powers as well. The process of absorbing the bone is horribly excruciating, taking one round to complete and in which no other action can be taken. There is a total of 238 bones, however, these are grouped as follows:

Left Hand (27 bones):

• Constant Power: : can cast Bane at will
• Lesser Powers: can cast Fear 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Symbol of Pain 1x/day

Right Hand (27 bones) :

• Constant Power: opponents within 5 feet cannot benefit from healing (does not affect owner)
• Lesser Powers: can cast Inflict Wounds as 3rd level spell 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Harm as a 7th level spell 1x/day

Left Arm (5 bones):

• Constant Powers: Chill Metal in a 5’ radius (does not affect owner)
• Lesser Powers: Ghoul Touch 3x/day
• Major Power: Paralyzing touch as a lich

Right Arm (5 bones):

• Constant Powers: Drain 1 point of Strength as per shadow in 5’ radius (does not affect owner)
• Lesser Powers: Bull’s Strength 3x/day
• Major Power: +4 magic bonus to Strength

Ribcage (26 bones):

• Constant Powers: can cast Shield at will
• Lesser Powers: can cast Stoneskin 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Forcecage 1x/day

Spine (26 bones):

• Constant Powers: can cast Charm Person at will
• Lesser Powers: can cast Confusion 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Project Image 1x/day

***Left Leg (60 bones): ***

• Constant Powers: can cast Misty Step at will
• Lesser Powers: can cast Haste 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Time Stop 1x/day

Right Leg (60 bones):

• Constant Powers: can cast Fog Cloud at will
• Lesser Powers: can cast Mirror Image 3x/day
• Major Power: can cast Duo–dimension 1x/day

Skull (2 bones):

• Constant Powers: can communicate via telepathy at will
• Lesser Powers: All owner’s spells receive benefit of the Enlarge metamagic feat without being increased in level
• Major Power: All owner’s spells receive the benefit of the Maximize metamagic feat without being increased in level

Furthermore, when several completed extremities are combined, the following powers are gained. MAGIC ITEMS

Skull and Hands:

• Major Power: Double all available spell slots

Both Arms and Legs:

• Major Power: Fly on self as per the spell, at will

Spine & Ribcage:

• Major Power: Globe of Invulnerability 1x/day

Once a being possesses any one of Azurewrath’s bones, they immediately gain the sensation that they should seek out the other bones. If a bone is infused into an individual’s body, they instantly gains the knowledge of the next closest bone’s distance and direction.

If the whole skeleton should be assembled outside of a host, it self animates itself to attack, with the statistics as an skeleton warrior with 6th level wizard casting ability. The animated form can use any of the powers of the assembled skeleton above.

Curse. As more bones are accepted into the host’s body, Azurewrath’s Abyssmal presence becomes more well–defined. Once a host has assembled one full extremity, they begin to suffer from artifact domination. The host begins to obsess over finding the remaining bones and absorbing them into their own body. Each day, the host must make a Wisdom save DC 15 or Azurewrath’s consiousness manifests, taking control of the body. For each extremity that is possessed beyond the first, the DC increases by 1.

Furthermore, gathering the bones of Azurewrath attracts the attention of the Abyss. Any person who begins assembling the bones of Azurewrath will attract to themselves unfriendly Abyssmal minions who will seek to thwart the person’s actions. Eventually, this will attract the attention of the two Balors Azurewrath kept as bodyguards, who will seek to scatter the bones forever, unless they are somehow bound to the owner’s control.

Should any being ever accept into himself the entire skeleton of Azurewrath, the evil mage would instantly overtake the body, destroying the poor host’s soul. Azurewrath is an 18th wizard/15th cleric of maximum hit points with all the powers of a lich, as well as the individual powers of the bones above for the completed skeleton.

Destruction. Azurewrath’s bones can only be destroyed for once and all if the entire assembled skeleton is subjected to a retrebutive strike from a Staff of the Magi and reduced to 0 hit points by the explosion. The mage’s bones can afterward be rendered inert if one of two Balors he once ensnared manage to seize his heart before he expires.

Gemstone of Creation

Artifact, requires attunement

There are only twelve of these mighty gemstones in existence. Each of them is a cabochan cut different gemstone. The twelve stones are diamond, emerald, sapphire, ruby, amethyst, jade, opal, yellow topaz, pearl, peridot, onyx, and aquamarine. Once a part of the the Crown of Stars worn by the protogod Thunbuk, the Crown was shattered by Thor’s hammer, sending the gemstones to the far corners of the multiverse.

One gemstone is known to lay in the depths of the abyss, one was found by Stormonu in Tsre Vestu’s heart and one was the prison home of the demonic arcanist Sharez in the Twilight Forest. The location of the remainder of these gemstone’s location - if they still exist - is unknown.

Wish. The primary power of the gemstone is to allow its wielder to cast Wish without fail once a day. The gem recharges this power only when immersed in cool, running water.

Destroying the gem. It is rumored that each gemstone can only be destroyed by wishing holding one gemstone, and touching it to another while wishing the second gemstone out of existance. Unfortunately, destroying even one of the gemstones unleashed apocalytic destruction as everything wished into existance by the destroyed gem is wiped out.

If all but one of the gemstones is somehow destroyed, the last remaining gemstone can only be destroyed if it is devoured by Tiamat - and legend states that its destruction will undo all of creation. However, in at least one case, one of the destroyed gems was wished back into existance by the bearer of another one of the gems - and restoring the gem also restored all that had been lost when the gem was destroyed.

The Moaning Diamond

Artifact, requires attunement

The Moaning Diamond appears to be an uncut diamond the size of a human fist. At all times, it gives forth a baleful moaning sound, as if in pain. Despite the noise, the Moaning Diamond is not evil.

Stone Shape. The wielder of the stone can, three times per day, call upon it to reshape earth and stone as if by the spell stone shape, affecting 5,000 cubic feet of material.

Conjure Earth Elemental. The Moaning Diamond can summon an earth elemental with maximum hit points that serves the caster until it is slain. Only one such elemental can be summoned at a time; if it is slain, a new creature cannot be summoned for 24 hours. MAGIC ITEMS

The Orbs of Dragonkind

Artifact, requires attunement

During the First Dragon War, a cabal of wizards captured powerful dragons with magic, in the hopes of finding a way to defeat the lesser wyrms of Amberos. When the dragons proved too difficult to keep contained as they experimented, the cabal used powerful magics to contain the dragon’s spirits within orbs of crystal while they continued to experiment on their bodies.

The cabal was successful, but the orbs were able to telepathically reach out to their kin and call for help. A massed flight of dragons decended on the cabal, utterly destroying it and the bodies of the great dragons, forever trapping their life–force in the crystal orbs. During the confusion, the orbs were secreted out, and have been slowly traversing the continent ever since.

Each of these fabled orbs is made of white crystal and contains the essence and personality of an ancient dragon of a different variety (one for each of the major ten different chromatic and metallic dragons).

Note: The Silver Orb, Ngandrar, has been modified to become the fabled Orb of Seasons.

Control Dragons. The bearer of an Orb can utilize Dominate monster against dragons (spellcasting DC 16, ignores Legendary Resistances and Spell Resistance) three times per day.

Draconic Protection. The bearer of the Orb gains damage immunity to the associated element damage type.

Draconic Breath. The bearer of an Orb can herself use the breath weapon of the dragon in the Orb three times per day. The breath weapon for the Black, Blue, Green Red and White orb is a cone 30 feet long and wide that deals 12d6 damage of the element it is tied to. The breath weapon for the Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold and Silver orb is a line 5 feet wide and 60 feet long that deals 12d6 damage of the element it is tied to. In both cases, a successful Dexterity save DC 16 halves the damage taken. This ability can be used three times per day, no closer than 1 minute apart.

Orb Communication and Detection. All Orbs of Dragonkind can be used to communicate verbally and visually with the possessors of the other Orbs, revealing their draconic personalities as they do. The owner of an Orb knows whether there are dragons of any type within 10 miles at all times. For dragons of the Orb’s particular variety, the range is 100 miles. If within 1 mile of a dragon of the Orb’s variety, the wielder can determine the exact location and age of the creature.

Each Orb also has an individual power

• Black Dragon Orb: Fly once per day as a 5th level spell.
• Blue Dragon Orb: Haste once per day as a 5th level spell.
• Brass Dragon Orb: Teleport once per day.
• Bronze Dragon Orb: Scrying once per day.
• Copper Dragon Orb: Suggestion once per day as 5th level spell (spellcasting DC 16).
• Gold Dragon Orb: Globe of Invulnerability once per day. Also, dominate monster on any other possessor of an Orb within 1 mile (spellcasting DC 16).
• Green Dragon Orb: Cloudkill once per day (spellcasting DC 16).
• Red Dragon Orb: Wall of fire once per day.
• Silver Dragon Orb: Cure wounds once per day as a 5th level spell.
• White Dragon Orb: Protection from energy (cold) once per day.

Curse of Draconic Enimity. A creature attuned to one of these Orbs forever gains a spiritual taint that earns the enmity of all dragonkind, even if the item is later lost or given away.

Destruction. It is believed that the only way to destroy one of these items is to subject it to the simultaneous breath weapon of no less than the six ancient dragons as the same type of the orb’s attunement while the wielder wills the freedom of the dragon within. This, however, is believed to also destroy the draconic soul imprisoned within the orb.

The Saint’s Mace

Weapon (mace), artifact (requires attunement)

The great god of healing, Logres, refused to ever raise arms to harm a living creature. After his capture, slaughter and eventual ressurection, he was approached by a pious worshipper who pleaded with the diety to act as Logre’s bodyguard. Logres politely refused, but charged the pious priest’s mace with magical power and sent him forth to protect other from harm. When the priest passed away, the mace disappeared from history.

This relic appears to be a simple, well–used cudgel, but its simple appearance hides great power. The saint’s mace has a +3 magic bonus to hit damage. When the mace is used against fiends or undead, it deals an additional 5d8 radiant damage on a hit.

Light of Truth The wielder can use sacred flame from the mace at will, as if 11th level.

The Shadowstaff

Weapon (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)

This artifact is said to have belonged to the mighty god Gwieze, and that he lost it during the cataclysm that destroyed his Shadow Empire during the Elvin Golden Age. Since then, the staff has resurface several times, empowering those who find it and driving them to recreate Gwieze’s ancient empire.

This artifact was crafted centuries ago, weaving together the wispy strands of shadow itself into a twisted black staff.

Shadowy The Shadowstaff makes the wielder slightly shadowy and partially incorporeal, granting him a +4 bonus to AC and Dexterity saves. However, in bright light or in absolute darkness, the wielder takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, Dexterity saves, and Dexterity-related skill checks.

The Shadowstaff also has these powers.

• Summon Shadows: Three times per day, as an action the staff may summon 2d4 shadows, who appear within 30 feet of the wielder. The summoned shadows remain for 1 hour or until dismissed or reduced to 0 hit points.
• Summon Nightshade: Once per month, as a ritual that takes 10 minutes, the wielder can summon a nightshade that serves the wielder for one hour or until reduced to 0 hit points.
• Shadow Form: Three times per day, as a ritual that takes 1 minute, the wielder can become a living shadow, with all the movement powers granted by the gaseous form spell.
• Shadow Bolt: Three times per day, as an action, the staff can project a ray attack that deals 10d6 points of cold damage to a single target. The shadow bolt has a range of 100 feet.

The Shield of the Sun

Armor (large shield), artifact (requires attunement)

This shield was actually a dinner plate the god Dhorian stole from the Ancient One Apollo in his raid of the heavens. The god Fir modified the golden plate to act as a magical shield in the battle against Guaradrell. During the fight, the great dragon ripped the shield free of Dhorian’s grasp, where it fell to the earth. Since that battle, it passed from individual to individual, granting powerful abilities to those who wield it.

Protection. This large shield grants a +3 bonus to AC, in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC.

High Priest. While wearing the shield, the weilder can cast cleric spells as if they had levels in the class equal to their character level.

Throne of the Gods

***Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)

Once the throne from which Thunbuk directed the creation of the world, this artifact was lost in the depths of the mountain Tsre Vestu until it was recently retrieved by unknown hands. The throne is thought to have returned to its guilded hall in Olympus, but no mortal is truly sure of its location.

The throne of the gods weighs 5 tons and appears to be a seat made of hewn stone with quilted red padding to seat upon. The whole throne is engraved with a mural of creation and inlaid with gold, silver, platinum and many gemstones. To activate the power of the throne, a person need only sit in the seat. While sitting in the throne, the following abilities take effect.

• Ability Score Increase. The character’s highest ability scoregains a permanent +2 bonus (max 30)

Curse Of the Tyrant. Unfortunately, while the possessor is on the throne, the things of the world become less important. The character suddenly loses all interest in sex, gambling, adventure and other pursuits. Their mind becomes focused on the power of the throne, and unless he succeeds a Wisdom DC 30 save, they will desire to never leave the throne.

Curse Of Rot. The first time the disintegrate power is used, the possessor of the chair is deafened for 10 - 40 minutes. Once per week while seated in the throne, the owner must make Constitution save DC 30. On a failure, the owner’s Constitution and Charisma drop by 1 as body rot sets in. The rot can only be stopped by a Wish spell or if the character gives up the Throne. If the character drops to 0 Constitution, they cannot leave the Throne or they will instantly die.

The Great Swords

Background: During the Dragon Wars, Emperor Nannon 4th of Swordfall commissioned the creation of a series of weapons know as the War Relics, which were to be dispursed to the heros of the age in the war against the dragons. He specially commissioned a series of seven blades for the seven Great Barons who helped him to rule Swordfall, and commissioned a special blade for his own use.

Unfortunately, the master craftsman behind the weapons, Fineburr the Astronomican, was corrupted by the dragons and attempted to curse the swords–in–progress. Though he was eventually stopped, the weapons were finished, but unknowingly tainted.

The swords were distributed to the seven Great Barons, and Emperor Nannon recieved the greatest blade of them all. However, he quickly found the great blade was intelligent, willful and difficult to control – in particular as it had refused to take a name to allow it to be bound to a master.

Despite the difficulties, the weapons were a great help in ending the war and later keeping control of matters in the various realms under Swordfall’s command. However, the ego battles between Nannon and the unnamed sword became legendary – to the point the sword wanted complete control of the kingdom itself. However, without a hand to wield it, it was powerless – and as the battle between Nannon and the sword flourished, Nannon wielded the blade less and less.

The Emperor had never fully trusted the power of the blades he was endowing to his Barons. As a precaution, he had instructed Fineburr to give the unnamed sword of Nannon utter power over the other blade’s weilders if he chose, and could negate their blade’s powers at will. Unknown to Nannon, the willful unnamed sword was also in constant contact with the blades and as willful as it was, could control them – and force its will through them. So it was that the unnamed sword took control of the blades and the Barons through the same weapons, and sparked the Baron’s Rebellion.

Nannon put down the rebellion and was forced to kill several of his treacherous Barons, but in the end learned what the sword had done, thanks to the sacrifice of one of his most trusted Barons that resisted his weapon’s call – Baron Frederic Furvon of Furvon’s Paval.

Realizing the true danger of the swords, Emperor Nannon confiscated all of the blades, and managed to even trick the Sword of No Name into naming itself. He then had the weapons locked away in a special citidel in the capital where they could never again be reached – except in the case of the most dire of disasters. To this day, despite Nannon’s death and the passing of the Empire of Swordfall, the citidel of the sword (and it’s defending Cult of the Sword, who worship the sword as a manifestion of the god Dhoric, lord of justice [whose symbol is a longsword]) remains untouched after nearly a millenium since it’s initial construction.

Sword of No Name (Windreaver)

Weapon (Longsword), Artifact (requires attunement)

This silver-bladed weapon’s surface is unmarred by design or script. It’s guard is simple, though chased with gold and its grip consists of a long wrap of vermillion leather with black edging and white diamonds. The pommel contains a massive translucent rhodochrosite held in place by an ivory dragon claw.

Strikeseeker. The Sword of No Name grants a +3 bonus to hit and damage, and scores critical damage on a natural roll of 15 or better. When scoring a critical against dragons, it causes quadruple damage instead of double.

Draconic Immunities. The wielder of the Sword of No Name gains damage resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning and thunder damage as well as bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from non-magical attacks. If the attack comes from a breath weapon, the wielder can gain immunity as a reaction, up to three times a day.

Power Over Brethren. While the sword or its wielder are on the same plane as an individual who possesses one of the brothers or sisters of the Sword of No Name, the sword or its wielder can cast Dominate Person as a 9th level spell on the weilder of one of the brothers or sisters of the Sword of No Name, with a spellcasting DC of 18.

Sentience. The Sword of No Name is a sentient Lawful Evil weapon with an Intelligence of 19, a Wisdom of 16 and a Charisma of 19. If an individual learns its secret name, they gain advantage against the weapon’s attempts to dominate them.

Legacy Items

Legacy items are items that enjoy a rather long history of use and fame (or notoriety). They are more than mere common magic items, having been invested with a great deal of the essence of their former masters. Legacy items are not so much created as born, they are not so much fashioned as occurring over time due to dedication and presence to legendary characters and circumstances.

It is possible for characters to devise their own legacy items, but most legacy items have already been in existence for some time.

Legacy items follow a specific path that grants them unique abilities that its possessor can only tap as he or she advances in level. Only by becoming legendary in their own right can characters hope to unlock the mystical abilities of a legacy item.

To devise a legacy item, the DM should either use one of the items already created here or design his own. If a player wishes to create a legacy item, they should collaborate with the DM in its creation, with the DM having final say it what is allowable or not.

Whenever you would gain an Ability Score Increase (ASI), you may instead choose to advance your item by choosing a power from one of the appropriate tables below.

Tier 1 (1st-5th level)

Tier 2 (6th-10th level)

Tier 3 (11th-15th level)

Tier 4 (16th-20th level)
