Random Drop: HoF, Nrm --- [00AMUL30.ITM] Lucky Knucky This barely recognizable lump of fish bone has been carried as a good luck charm in Targos for almost twenty years. The item's history started with the sailor Young Ned of Lonelywood. On one of his fishing trips near Targos, his small boat capsized near the Maer Dualdon shore. He held onto his prize catch, an "unbelievably massive" knucklehead trout, despite being charged by a hungry bear when he reached shore. The bear snatched the majority of the trout away from Ned, leaving him holding the poor fish's tooth-severed head. Ned walked the rest of the way to Targos and kept the head as evidence of his encounter. Over time, Ned started to attribute his good fortune as a sailor to his "lucky knucky". The brigand Marg the Trembler "won" Ned's lucky knucky away from him in a rigged card game. Ned was bitter over being cheated, but he wasn't willing to stand up to Marg to get it back. Marg later used the fish head as currency to buy supplies as he hastily fled from Targos. The man who received the piece of bone held on to it for a few months before handing it off to a friend at the docks. In the years that followed up to the current date, Ned's "lucky knucky" has been traded, won, or sold to over a dozen people in Targos and, once, in Bremen.

He created magical items that literally saturated the gamut of possible situations that could arise from his high adventures. These magical items would have been the envy of all adventurers, had Belib been successful in leaving his domicile with his equipment. After many years of creating his incredible inventory of enchanted do-dads, Belib finally gathered his wares into an immense backpack (naturally, it was enchanted to carry far more than what would normally fit into a gnome's pack) and set out to quest for the grandest quests. Unfortunately for Belib, one of his tiny feet tripped over his home's threshold and he was summarily crushed under the enormous weight of his pack. The backpack burst open and scattered his enchanted wares all across his front yard. One would like to think that passing sentient beings would stop and help the crushed gnome, but the most that passersby did was loot Belib's goods. One of Belib's more popular goodies, especially with the vermin that make stealing and looting a career, was Belib's Multiple Tool. Disguised as an ornate amulet, this tool would help make even the most inept rogue a master of lock picking and trap disarming. As is usually the case with items that aid in the thieving arts, Belib's Multiple Tool has found its way into many greased palms over the years. STATISTICS: Special: +1 to Open Lock skill +1 to Search skill Weight: 1 lb. Purchased From: Orrick's Keepsakes (Chp 6.0-Nrm) Carried By: Pondmuk (Chp 3.0-Nrm) --- [00AMULDS.ITM] Druid's Stone These sand-colored stones were fashioned by druids watching the borders of the Anauroch Desert. The druids would often meditate while on their lonely vigils, and the stones they wore would help them commune with the earth and stones beneath their feet, telling them of the movements of desert creatures in the surrounding area. In times of danger, they could summon the strength of the earth to their aid, causing their skin to become as hard as stone and giving them some protection against attacks. The reason for their vigil was unknown, but the druids vanished mysteriously over fifty years ago, and no one knows what became of them. Only their druid stones remained, and the stones have told no stories. STATISTICS: Special: Spell Power: Can cast the spell Stoneskin once per day Weight: 1 lb. Purchased From: Heartstone Gem (Chp 6.0-Nrm), Nathaniel's Temple (Chp 6.0-Nrm) --- [00AMULES.ITM] Eye of the Storm In the howling north of Icewind Dale, it can be difficult to steady oneself before battle... or even keep one's wit when surrounded by foes. These simple medallions carry a minor blessing that allows a soldier to achieve a measure of peace even in the middle of combat, allowing him to steady himself to face the trials ahead. These medallions are highly prized by soldiers that deal with the Uthgardt, especially when trading turns sour, and it seems blood is about to be shed. When the goblin horde sacked Bremen, this mysterious item was seized from a dead merchant by one of the goblin shamans, who could find no use for it. The medallion was carried for several leagues until the amulet slipped from the shaman's possession and was lost amongst the snows, only to resurface here. STATISTICS: Special: Spell Power: Can cast the spell Sanctuary twice per day Weight: 1 lb. Purchased From: Orrick's Keepsakes (Chp 6.0-Nrm) --- [00AMULFD.ITM] Flame Dance Talisman Fire can be the bringer of life, or the harvester of death.

A rarity among kobolds, Gohoin was both brave and clever. He worked to undermine the efforts of the dwarves against his people for twenty years before being slain in a dwarven rush on his tribe's home settlement. As luck would have it, the charm did not fall into the hands of the dwarves, but bounced away into an underground river. It was discovered decades later by a goblin hunter who wore it for the rest of his days. The nameless goblin is believed to have died somewhere in the Spine of the World mountains. STATISTICS: Deflection Bonus: +3 Regeneration: 1 hit point every 10 rounds while equipped Weight: 0 lb.

STATISTICS: Knowedge (Arcana): +3 Weight: 0 lb. Carried By: Mirabel (Chp 5.3-Nrm) --- [00AMULSL.ITM] Snow Leopard Charm Shamans of many barbarian clans have long looked upon the snow leopard as one of the most graceful and swift hunters of the frozen lands. Many times the warriors of these clans mimic the movements of the large, white cats during fierce combat. In addition, the barbarian shamans would sometimes create spells that would temporarily imbue the warriors with the dexterity of the snow leopards. However, since these spells were temporary, often times the spell would wear off at inopportune times. It is said, however, that a group of barbarian shamans once congregated deep within the Dales to find a way to better harness the swift agility of the snow leopard. For nearly a year the shamans remained out of sight from their home clans, busily focusing their attentions towards the magic of the snow leopard. Then one day, the shamans returned to their respective clans, each holding a small necklace made of silver, with a pendant that resembled a snow leopard's paw. The shamans gave this pendant to their strongest warrior of each clan. Once placed around the neck of the warrior, the dexterity of the snow leopard filled their powerful bodies. From then on, the Snow Leopard Charm, as it became known, would become one of the most prized artifacts within barbarian clans. Only the mightiest warriors wore the amulet, and it became the goal of all young warriors to one day be adorned with the Snow Leopard Charm. STATISTICS: Special: Dexterity: +2 bonus Weight: 1 lb.

It is said that he spent his entire life studying various blacksmithing techniques in preparation for creating this axe. Thirty days and thirty nights, Magmar secluded himself in his shop with only the steady ringing of his hammer and the deafening roar of the furnace as company. On the thirtieth night Magmar completed Cloudkiss whereupon he promptly fell over dead. Now it is rumored that although the utmost respect was offered by his fellow smiths during his funeral, titters of laughter could be heard behind muffled, closely held conversations. It seems that Magmar's final work was not the great work everyone was expecting, in fact it was rather plain and hardly worthy of a Dwarven forged weapon let alone one forged by a master smith. For many years this long forgotten weapon hung upon the walls of Clan Ironsmelt, until one fateful day a horde of goblins invaded. In the final moments of the battle, a lone injured dwarf grabbed Cloudkiss in desperation from its purchase and flung it at the approaching horde. To his surprise, Cloudkiss transformed into a lightning bolt and surged thru the throngs of goblins with deadly accuracy. As fast as he could throw the axe it would return, leaving smoldering corpses wherever it traveled. By any rights this should have been a tale of legend, but with any legend there has to be survivors to tell the tale. Unfortunately, Clan Ironsmelt died that day along with that unnamed dwarf.

Upon a successful hit, the target will take additional sonic damage. Screamer is not a subtle weapon and should never be considered for any kind of stealthy endeavors.

Unfortunately the axe fell into the hands of the drow after an unsuccessful skirmish near the underdark.

They were often times so shoddily made that after a year of use they would have to be melted down and reforged. Tired of paying exorbitant prices to reforge these weapons every year, Count Va' Suyen decided to hire a wizard to cast minor enchantments on all his training weapons to make them more durable and suitable for training. This particular axe carries two such enchantments. The first hardens the axe so that any normal combat would not damage it. The second enchantment dulls the edge of the axe so that his men would not be hurt while training. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d8 Damage Type: Bludgeoning Weight: 7 lb.

The double bearded blade is crafted of the finest steel with a mithril edge. The shaft is hollowed oak with a reinforced steel center. Along the shaft are a series of glowing dwarven runes cast in gold. The weapon is light, fast, and deadly. The weapon was also crafted with two special enchantments. On a successful hit, there is a chance that Backblighter will cast a fear and a slow spell upon the target, causing them to turn their back and slowly flee. This allows devastating attacks from an opponent's rear, thus the weapons name. Backblighter was crafted by the dwarven smith Braegar of Dorn's Deep.

Carried to the final battle of the Hand of Seldarine by the hulking orc warlord Yellow-Toothed Grubrun Foul-Tusks, Big Death had its origins in an ogre mercenary's two-handed battle-axe. After a particular vicious raid on a dwarven mining settlement, Grubrun spied the axe lodged in the skull of a dead dwarven marshal. It seems that an ogre mercenary had impaled himself upon the marshal's spear in a careless charge, but his last act had been to nearly cleave his killer's head in twain and, in trying to wrench the axe free for a second blow, shattering the haft before expiring in a bloody heap. Prying the huge, black cold-iron blade from the base of the dwarf's skull, Grubrun returned to his fortress at Nab-Nurog and had his shaman set to enchanting it. Not having considered fixing the shaft and finding it too heavy and awkward to use in melee, Grubrun deigned to use the weapon as a throwing axe and demanded that it be ensorcelled to return to his hands after being hurled. The warlord found great delight in heaving the enormous weapon about, roaring with glee as Big Death came careening back to him, gleaming and gore-spattered, after lopping some poor enemy in two at the waist. Grubrun Foul-Tusks finally met his end at the final battle of the Hand where he threw Big Death at the elven weapon master Kaylessa; she deftly sidestepped the flying weapon, darted forward, and ran her own blade through the empty-handed orc's belly. Kaylessa was said to have then coolly ducked as Grubrun's own axe came whirling back at him and cleanly severed his head, rotten yellow tusks and all. Big Death is an especially large axe - almost ridiculously so - and is only identifiable as a throwing weapon because its short haft and the manner in which it's weighted. In fact, the axe is so massive that it cannot be thrown with a single hand, requiring the wielder to grip it with both hands and hurl it sidelong with the strength of their entire body.

Though not quite malicious, he had little regard for human life. When his adventuring band, Winnowing Drake Company, asked him to fell an opponent, he did so without question. In addition to his wiry brawn and even temper, Donald was known for his fastidious care of his weapons and armor. He kept his great axe keen and shining at all times. When he waded into battle, crimson blood flew out in all directions from the gleaming blade. Donald's halfling friend, Tim Rootfield, commented that the axe was so sharp that it would make widows out of half the wives in Faerun. Black Donald smiled at the halfling and said that his blade was sharp enough to cut through the husband and back to village to get the wife on the follow-through.

The bard was called Beogin, and his songs are sung by many of the northern tribes. He carried this horn with him when he observed many titanic battles. The chief of his tribe gave him the instrument with instructions to blow it if he was ever in mortal danger. Beogin, too proud to ever call on his tribesmen for help, was killed in battle, the horn hidden under his cloak.

Priests of Arvoreen the Defender blessed the cittern with its impressive power. Relias never intended to play his magnificent creation. He eventually sold the ruddy instrument to a bard named Gallow Deely. Gallow was a lanky, slender man often found in the company of adventurers. Though ill-suited for battle, Gallow was exceptionally gifted at putting tales of heroism to music. With the aid of the cittern, he helped the Company of Frozen Trees defeat a young green dragon in 1013 DR. His song, commemorating the occasion, was a rollicking tune called "The Fight of Green Thirteen." It is played in central and western taverns to this day.

Sephica was a bard, but she did not worship the lord of songs, Milil. Instead, she devoted herself to performing ballads to the suffering throngs of Ilmaterians everywhere. She was traveling with a group of Ilmaterian pilgrims when they were attacked by bandits. The bandits killed and severely injured many of the pilgrims, and they cut the strings of Sephica's harp when she tried to soothe the injured travelers. After the bandits had left, Sephica prayed to Ilmater for help in a time of crisis. When she plucked at her harp strings with her eyes closed in prayer, music miraculously poured forth and healed every person who heard it. The next day, the bandits arrived and killed Sephica for healing the pilgrims. Though she was killed, the pilgrims kept the memory of her miracle alive. Their community attempted to have her accepted as an Ilmaterian saint. They succeeded in 1218 DR. STATISTICS: This harp can cast Heal 1/Day.

She took the small instrument everywhere. Despite its rather meager powers, the Merry Shorthorn is among one of the most well traveled magic items in Faerun. It is believed that Prophia took it with her on a number of Elemental Planes, to Elysium and Baator, and from the Spine of the World to the distant reaches of Wa. It entertained pashas in Calimshan, quelled the anger of holy slayers in Zakhara, and bolstered a crew of sailors in the Sea of Fallen Stars.

If it wasn't for his famous lute, no one would have remembered him at all. Born in Sembia and raised in a musical family, Pellon Kay never took his performances seriously. Kay made dozens of enemies everywhere he went because of his acidic wit and appetite for confrontation. Sages believe that Milil frowned upon Pellon's antics, but that Talos found Pellon's attitude to be quite amusing. The avatar of Talos watched Pellon start a fight with over twenty men in a bar one night. As a gift for such destructive entertainment, Talos touched the lute that was laying next to Pellon's unconscious body. After that night, Pellon discovered that he could make men go berserk just by playing his lute in their direction. He took great delight in setting mercenaries and sailors against each other for several weeks. Eventually, Pellon Kay was laid low by a grim-featured warrior with a crossbow who didn't let Pellon get close enough to employ his magical lute. The unknown warrior threw the lute into the Sea of Fallen Stars. STATISTICS: Can cast the spell Dire Charm once per day Weight: 2 lb.

Piper was a worshipper of Auril, born in the town of Silverymoon and raised to embrace the frigid environment of his homeland. He traveled extensively in the Moonsea, where he met a mage named Pelham of the Moor. Owain and Pelham became good friends and stayed in contact for over a decade. Pelham eventually enchanted Owain's Lullabye for the bard in exchange for a small sum of money. Owain rarely used the instrument in battle, typically employing it when he found late-migrating geese lounging on a lake. He would blow the horn in such a way that the geese heard it as the sound of their cousins heading south for the winter. As the geese would attempt to take flight, Owain's horn would freeze them in mid-stroke, where he would leave them to die. STATISTICS: When played, this instrument casts Cone of Cold Weight: 2 lb. Found In: AR6102-Nrm --- [00BARD08.ITM] Viol of the Hollow Men This instrument is also known as "Tallow's Violin," but that moniker is rarely spoken among musicians, as mentioning the name of Nikolai Tallow is considered bad luck. Nikolai was born in The Vast, near High Haspur, the son of a chandler. Because of the intermittent traffic through the region, Nikolai was introduced to many different cultures. One of the travelers he met was an elven musician named Relev Thinriver. Relev introduced Nikolai to the violin and taught him for several years as he wandered through the area. Relev knew that Nikolai was an incredibly gifted child, with quick fingers, a keen mind, and a passion for all things in the world. Relev also recognized that Nikolai was exceedingly proud and arrogant. In spite of Nikolai's shortcomings, Relev taught him everything he knew. After Relev was killed by a band of orcs, Nikolai began to practice on his own throughout the Vast. Despite his travels, he always returned to the isolate peaks of his mountain birthplace. He became famed throughout the Vast, the southern Moonsea and Sembia for his incredible talent and passionate performances. Eventually, news of the proud young virtuoso spread to the ears of a nearby thug from Calaunt named Tremble Ghon. When Tremble and his gang traveled through the Elvenblood Pass, they stopped at the Elf in Armor Inn and demanded a performance from Nikolai, who happened to be present and eating dinner with his father at the time. Nikolai refused to perform for Tremble and his men. He called them stinking oafs and attempted to leave with dignity. Tremble assaulted Nikolai's pride by claiming that Nikolai was afraid of performing because he'd be heckled out of the inn for his incompetence. Nikolai shot back that his skill with the violin was so great that he could raise the dead from their graves. Satisfied with a proposed challenge, Tremble immediately grabbed Nikolai's father and stabbed him in the heart. When a number of other villagers attempted to intervene, they were also killed by the bandits. Tremble defiantly stood over Nikolai's dead father and said, "Where's your big mouth now, fiddle player?" Without a word, Nikolai pulled his violin and bow out from underneath his arms and began to play a melody that none of the residents of High Haspur had ever heard before, and no one in Faerun would ever hear again. Nikolai played with unbridled passion and fervor. Onlookers later remarked that he appeared to be a madman, thrashing about in ways that people didn't think were possible. At the climax of his frenzied piece, Tremble and his gang watched in horror as the souls of the men and women they had just killed rose from their corpses and dove, shrieking, at their murderers. The bandits died horrible deaths, chilled by the shadows of their victims. Nikolai himself continued playing, dancing through the streets and back pastures of his alpine home until every man, woman, child, and beast ever buried in the region rose from its resting place and milled about until Nikolai and his music disappeared into a far off valley, shrouded in a mysterious fog that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Legends say that on misty nights, the ghost of Nikolai Tallow returns to his homeland, playing a phantom violin with a host of dancing dead trailing behind him in the moonlight.

It usually is made of a long, conical wooden tube of over six feet in length that is coiled in much the same way as a snake; thus the name.

In addition to the wands he created, Disredain made a number of experimental magic items during a fifteen-year period of frenzied research. This belt was one of the items he did not think highly of. Consisting of large, crescent-shaped slices of mottled copper sitting back to back, the belt is quite thick and unique in appearance. A cleric of Talos named Ylkath wore the Arcs for three decades before he died of old age. His companion, the Umberlant priestess Ashalla of the Jade Tide, kept the belt for barely three years before she was shot dead by pirates that survived one of her nautical attacks.

Legends say that the Black Goat appeared to a nameless halfling village that had been sacked by goblins during a terrible winter. The tribe of warriors slew most of the halfling men, burned the fields, and took all of the town's livestock. Broken but not hopeless, the villagers congregated for prayer in the burned chapel at the center of town. Out of the smoke drifting over the edge of town, a black goat appeared with six kids, five black, one white. Over the course of six days, the kids grew, gave birth to more kids, and each previous generation died in the night. The milk, meat, and hide provided by the goats helped the halflings survive through their harsh winter. After the six days of miracles had passed, the town tanner made a belt from the hide of the mother goat that had appeared out of the smoke. Halfling tales often contain stories of halfling heroes wearing the Black Goat Girdle on their adventures, though no one has yet determined exactly where the legend truly originated.

Edhan risked his life hunting for young white dragons in the tundra north of Icewind Dale. Though the risk was extreme, the foolhardy barbarian was wealthy beyond what most tribesmen can dream of. As he aged, Edhan lost his edge. The belt helped protect him in his later years. Eventually, an old barbarian of fifty-six winters, Edhan fell victim to a pair of young whites. Barbarians from the Tribe of the Great Wyrm eventually recovered the warrior's body, but chose not to inter his body. They traded his belt away with the rest of his equipment. The front of the belt features a broad white dragon's chest scale. Leather lined with polar bear fur makes up the rest of the belt. STATISTICS: Saving Throw Bonus: +3 to Reflex saves Weight: 3 lb. --- [00BELTLG.ITM] Little Giant This belt of woven hair is a curious belt, and it is woven from a mix of red dwarven hair and verbeeg giant hair. It was originally worn as a substitute by the "Little Giant," Hohn Burninghair, an ill-tempered dwarf who swore to kill a hundred giants after several raids by greedy verbeeg wiped out much of his caravan trade from Upper Dorn's Deep. Soon after his proclamation, the Little Giant went in search of verbeeg camps, fighting them one after the other, until he came across the Temple of the Forgotten God in the mountains bordering Kuldahar. It was said that he was brought into the Temple, and rather than risk more bloodshed, the priests agreed to reign in the verbeeg patrols from around Dorn's Deep and made reparations for the stolen goods. Somewhat mollified, Burninghair left his woven belt in the hands of the Temple and swore peace with the verbeeg provided they kept their end of the bargain. When the Temple was ransacked many years later, the strange belt was carried off by the attackers and lost in the North. The Little Giant belt grants the wearer tremendous strength, most likely as a side effect of the giant hair woven into the belt and the great anger that ran deep in Burninghair's heart. It is said that Burninghair's original belt that predated the Little Giant was much more powerful, but he lost it while pursuing a fleeing verbeeg across a river - apparently, the verbeeg was attempting to carry off one of the Burninghair's ponies. Furious over the loss of his original belt, Burninghair simply added its loss to the list of crimes the verbeeg would pay for. STATISTICS: Special: Strength: +4 Weight: 2 lb.

Once the stalkers had found a tomb worthy of Kresselack, he gave them deaths worthy of their station and took their sashes from them to line the walls of his tomb in the Vale of Shadows. These sashes were carried from his tomb by fortune seekers many years past, and they have since found their way to remote corners of the North.

These Djen were known to be very magical, and during the course of their rule they developed many new spells previously not available in the Plane of Air. The Djen prospered for over 1,000 years in Calimshan, but their reign was ended by an invasion of creatures and minions from the Plane of Fire. Some say this is where the bitter hatred between djinni and efreeti started, though others contend this was just a result of a hatred that was already there. Whatever the cause, the battle was long and bloody, and took over 100 years to complete. The Djen finally routed the attackers, but were greatly weakened in the attempt. They slowly declined, and the last mention of the Djen is just under 6,000 years old. For the next 4,000 years Calimshan was dominated by nomadic tribes of humans. Tribes from various places - Chult, the Shaar, The Shining Plains, Chondath, even Amn and Cormyr - took turns dominating, only to be conquered by the next, nearly identical tribe. Slowly, the nomadic nature of Calimshan began to change. As explorers and traders from Amn, Waterdeep, and Cormyr discovered the wonders of the area, some tribes began to settle down and develop new means of support, like fishing, farming, or trading. These communities began to band together for mutual protection, and soon a civilization was born. It was only 1,300 years ago that the Shoon Empire (now called Iltkazar) came into being. The Shoons were a grand and glorious empire, and their excesses were the foundation of Calishite snobbery today. They grew wise and powerful in the ways of magic, and ships and caravans bearing the Shoon flag traveled across the Forgotten Realms. Shoon himself, a particularly powerful mage, created a book of great power during this time called the Tome of the Unicorn. The exact location of the Tome has been lost in time, but since the book is 2' by 3' and made of pure metal, it is likely to still be around... somewhere. 900 years ago the Shoon empire abruptly vanished. A great magical upheaval was suspected at first, but learned mages of other lands dispute the claim. A force that great, they say, would have disturbed magical powers and beings throughout the Realms, and that didn't happen. Sages who have studied the Shoon at great length have reached no definite conclusions, but the most popular theories today center around a plague or disease that decimated the population. Today, the Shoon impact on Calimshan is still great. The grandeur of that empire is responsible, more than anything else, for the strong national character of Calimshan today. The ruins of the Shoon's greatest city, Monrativi Teshy Mir, can still be found in the wilderness to the west of the edge of the Forest of Mir (see below for more on Monrativi Teshy Mir). Since the fall of Shoon, no force or people has risen to solely dominate the land. There are a half dozen or so major cities, each of which exerts its power over its own area. About 170 years ago, a man in Calimport amassed a large army and declared himself "Pasha" over the land. Before that army could march, however, the representatives of each major city met and agreed to recognize the Pasha's authority in limited areas, and to pay a small tribute to him; enough to pay for the works the Pasha was expected to do. The oldest son of each Pasha inherits the title; if there is no son, the mayors of each large city select a new one. The current Pasha, Rashid Djenispool, has ruled for over 18 years, and is the grandson of a pasha elected by the mayors of Calimshan 44 years ago.

For the bulk of this time, Cormyr was little more than a single city (Suzail) and a few fortified outposts. At times the monarch was forced by rebellion and intrigue to rule from those outposts instead of from the throne. King Azoun is the fourth of his name and the 71st of his line. The land has been officially at peace for many years - since Rhigaerd overthrew the last of the border raiders. However, Cormyrean armies have taken part in many actions in nearby regions, recently mustering its forces to face Gondegal, the rebel of Arabel; to occupy Tilverton on the marches of the Dalelands; and to lead a crusade against the great Tuigan horde invading from the east. One wit has noted that "Yes, the land is at peace, but the army has to keep busy." In addition to pursuing major actions, Cormyrean patrols often skirmish with bandits on the roads in the north and west, and are at present battling orcs and other creatures north and east of Cormyr in Tilver's Gap and Shadow Gap. Both of these areas are threatened by raiders who will menace Cormyr itself if they ever overrun Tilverton. Cormyr has built a fortress, Castle Crag, to defend the kingdom from attacks from that quarter, and maintains the High Horn to protect against attacks from the West. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK09.ITM] History of Dambrath History of Dambrath: The nation of Dambrath was formed out of a barbarian kingdom almost a half-millennium ago by a powerful alliance of priestesses of Loviatar and the drow from the city of T'lindhet. In 211 DR, fleeing from the destruction of the homeland by the then-great kingdoms of Unther and Mulhorand, four tribes of barbarians entered Dambrath. They found a coast where the dolphins danced and plains where the grass was long. They roamed from the borders of the Walls of Halruaa as far east as the current borders of Estagund. They soon became known as the Arkaiun, or people of the wind. In 545 DR a great warchief, Reinhar, arose to lead the tribes. The halflings of Luiren were quickly enslaved, and several of the coastal cities of Durpar were captured or razed. Estagund fell to his rule, and eventually Reinhar turned his attention to Halruaa. An army of 40,000 horsemen and a fleet of 50 ships mounted a coordinated attack, and even though Reinhar was able to get beyond the Walls of Halruaa and occupy the cities of Mithel, Galdel, and Zalsuu, their magics proved to be more than a match for the invaders. Reinhar was finally defeated in a great battle at Sulaziir by the archmage Mycontil and his troop of wizards. Reinhar's son, Reinhar II, took command of the army and set out on a two month overland retreat. He arrived home with a thousand surviving fighting men and no shaman. Reinhar II proved to be as good a ruler in defeat as his father was in war. He consolidated his forces and pulled home almost all of his troops, as he knew that the defeat made them tempting prey for raiders and encroaching monsters. This action allowed for the safe development of his peoples. By the time the ninth Reinhar was king in 802 DR, the Arkaiuns were fat and lazy. Reinhar IX, or Reinhar the Foolish as he is more commonly known, insisted on expanding his nation to gain more gold to finance his military campaigns. He ordered the mining of many rich lodes of silver and electrum in the Gnollwatch mountains, but before his plans of expansion could begin, the miners encountered the drow of T'lindher. The drow were outraged and began a steady series of raids and attacks on the Arkaiun strongholds. Whole villages were destroyed overnight, and no trace of the invaders could be found. Reinhar IX committed the foolhardy action of attacking the drow in retaliation. While the Arkaiuns managed to get a force into the drow city, this action only succeeded in uniting the normally chaotic drow. For once, the full power of a drow city was turned against an enemy. The battle quickly moved back to the surface. Reinhar's raiders were wiped out, leaving Reinhar with only a small portion of his original military. This was not enough for the drow, who demanded total enslavement of the entire surface nation. The Arkaiuns resisted valiantly, and the war went on for three decades at tremendous cost in life to both sides. Finally, the drow had the Arkaiun forces cornered at Malduir. Almost without hope, the defenders were overjoyed when a group of half-elven pilgrims appeared on the scene. The high priestess, Cathtyr Shintar, offered the aid of her clerics to help defend the city, and Reinhar took this to be an omen from the gods. A priestess was placed with almost every company. Within a tenday the drow struck. The priestesses did indeed prove to be of great aid, but to the drow. Every priestess turned on the Arkaiuns, and Cathtyr herself slew Reinhar. The drow were still weakened by the battle, and only the presence of the priestesses enabled them to win. Cathtyr, realizing the unique advantage she possessed, made a deal that even the suspicious drow embraced. Her priestesses would rule the land, and in exchange they would provide access to the surface for the drow, trading weapons, slaves, and supplies. The drow were delighted with this brazen offer from a surface dweller. Reinhar had been slain and the insult avenged, and after 30 years of war the drow were not particularly interested in Dambrath. They did insist, however, on taking the best captured males as slaves. Cathtyr quickly agreed to this, seeing the males as an obstacle to her own power. Cathtyr ruled for 205 years. She fulfilled her promise to make Dambrath, or "The Nation of Pain," a bastion of evil in the Realms. In her time, Cathtyr saw the priesthood of Loviatar expand to thousands, and faith in the Beastlords previously worshiped by the Arkaiuns was nearly eradicated. Many of the Arkaiuns were able to escape their new mistresses and flee to the Swagdar. There they resumed their almost forgotten nomadic life. The priestesses of Loviatar continued to enjoy good relations with the drow, and some even took mates, creating a race of drow half-elves. These dark half-elves became known as the Crintri, or "noble ones." Most are priestesses of Loviatar, though many are mages as well. They consolidated their power, learning much of the area from the Shebali, or "lower ones," as the Arkaiuns are now called. The capital of Dambrath was established at Cathtyr, built after Cathtyr's passing and named in her honor. Her death came at the hands of her daughter, Filina, who had grown tired of waiting for her mother to die. Filina ruled for only five years, however, before her own daughter, Cathakay, assumed the throne in the same fashion. Cathakay ruled for 54 years, eventually falling in battle against a gold dragon. She died childless, and her niece Melanith assumed the throne. Melanith faced an increasing population, and unrest among males who longed for a return to their prestige of old. Melanith did not return their previous status, but she did make use of them. Fearing that the great nations of Mulhorand and Unther might rise again, she decided that mundane tasks, such as the defense of the kingdom, would be handled by men. She was the first to name a male to the post of warchief. Sadalar, a Crintri, became the queen's consort. His term as warchief was characterized by widespread bribery and corruption. He was, however, responsible for getting many privileges returned to the Arkaiuns. After Melanith's rule, the Shebali were considered second class citizens, rather than slaves. Though males were granted more power during her rule, Melanith also solidified the split between the sexes. While the rulers of Dambarth had been females for over two centuries, it was more because of competence than gender. Melanith, however, decreed that men could have no authority except over other men. The female-led hierarchy of Loviatar was quick to back this move. Many of the bravest and best men of the kingdom perished in raids on Estagund, Durpar, the bandit tribes of Veldorn, and against the gnolls that had returned to the Gnollwatch Mountains. Some even fought at the side of the drow in their battle with the svirfneblin city of Aventine. The deep gnomes were destroyed, but so were the Shebali. The drow and the Crintri were largely unharmed, and for their aid, the Crintri were rewarded with a number of drow males to breed in to their race. Melanith took a drow male as her consort to replace Sadalar, who had perished in the conflict. The drow, Nym Inthigg, fathered three daughters and a son. It was at this time that Melantih began the isolationist policy that Dambrath still follows today. Melanith ruled for 156 years; her daughter Ausitil for 125. The current queen of Dambrath is Yenandra; she is known there as the "Pirate Queen," for she has sailed as far south as Zakhara on pillaging raids. Yenandra has been ruling for 71 years, and is beginning to show signs of age. She has three daughters as well, named Luatharyn, Meltruil, and Hasafir. While she does remain extremely popular, especially to the Crintri, the children of leaders in this land are not known to patiently wait their turn.

Over three-thousand years ago, these countries were both subject to the great kingdom of Raurin. When Raurin fell in 2488DR, the countries of Durpar and Var barely survived the destruction. Rioting, mass destruction, and hatred of nobility were rampant, and the two countries descended into barbarism for over two millennia. Finally, after most of the barbarian tribes were wiped out by the great empire of Mulhorand, a leader emerged. Satama, a mere trader, experienced a divine revelation and formulated a new philosophy All things in the world were connected, were part of a single creation spirit, and all of the gods of the Realms were merely parts of the same entity. Soon all the Shining Lands embraced the teachings of Satama, and the seeds of civilization were laid in what came to be known as the Lands of the One. Since the Lands of the One had many natural resources, trade with Mulhorand and Luiren became a way of life. Merchants were honored above all. In time, the Maharajah of Durpar and the Rajah of Var were replaced with a Council of Merchants. During this time the land suffered occasional raiding attacks from the horsewomen of Dambrath, and had many skirmishes with the neighboring countries of Estagund and Ulgarth. In 1023 DR, after an armed peace had been worked out with Ulgarth, the Council of Merchants decided that something needed to done about the raiders from Estagund who were hurting trade with other countries. War was an inconvenience, but interrupting trade was life-threatening. Jeradeem, the richest merchant in the lands, was given power to negotiate a settlement. During these negotiations he proved, at least in the eyes of the Durparians, that he was indeed the master trader he seemed. Estagund had just tried a foolish invasion of Dambrath. The vengeful female leaders of that land wiped out nearly every able-bodied fighting man they sent. The monsters of Veldorn were causing problems, and Estagund was going through a famine. It was here that Jeradeem showed his fine merchant's instincts. He could not pass up such an advantage, and began bargaining the most outrageous trade of all time. He met with the leaders of Estagund, a fearful king and his nobles, and explained the advantages of Durparian life and the philosophy of the Adama, the oneness of all things. He bargained for days until finally the king made the trade. He purchased the whole of Estagund for the countries of Durpar and Var at the price of 24 gems. He also promised protection, and help for their integration into the Durparian way of life. Thus were formed the Shining Lands. Within a hundred years, the three countries shared a common way of life, and with the added strength and resources of Estagund, Durparian merchants increased their trading range. They roamed as far east as Kara-Tur, as far north as the Sea of Fallen Stars, and west to Dambrath and Halruaa. At the present time, with the newly discovered lands of Maztica and Zakhara beckoning, the future looks bright. Weight: 2 lb.

The Gunders were conquered in 551 DR by Reinhar I, warchief of the Arkaiuns of Dambrath. Estagund regained its independence when Reinhar was slain by the Halruaan archmage Mycontil, though the country soon degenerated into a group of small independent city states. Skirmishes with Var, and between the city-states, continued for several centuries until a king once again united the country. King Bornial was a skilled ruler, and under him Estagund began to prosper. His descendants did not share his wisdom, and in 1053 DR, King Selkarin more than illustrated this. He had failed to conquer Durpar, and Veldorn resisted his challenges. An avowed misogynist, Selkarin turned his attentions to the matriarchy of Dambrath. He led a large fleet to attack Dambrath, taking extreme losses, including his own life. Selkarin died childless, so his brother Seltarir was crowned King. The new ruler faced a country with most of its fighting men gone, and an unforeseen problem: famine. The famine was caused by a blight that wiped out nearly all the year's crops in Estagund. This made him eager for a deal posed by the Durparian merchant Jeradeem, and in a legendary trade the entire country of Estagund was sold. Contrary to popular rumor, Seltarir did not trade away the country for 24 pearls. In actuality he received diamonds worth almost a million gold pieces. The sudden wealth gave him an instant seat on the Council of Merchants, so he retained a measure of rule in addition to his fortune. Chaka Seltarir is still the richest chaka in Estagund to this day. In the years that followed, the Gunders began rebuilding their lives under their new circumstance, and now they compete on equal footing with the merchants of Durpar and Var.

This swordsman was Gondegal, the Lost King, who in the Year of the Dragon (1352 DR) attempted to carve a kingdom for himself centered on Arabel. It was to extend north to the Desertsmouth Mountains; south and west of Wyvernwater and the farms outlying from Eveningstar; and east to Tilver's Gap and the mountain passes. In the years following, people would say that Gondegal's reach was no longer than his blade. He could not hold any of the territory against the might of Cormyr, Sembia, Daggerdale, Tilverton, and several of the other Dales -all of whom he drew the blood and ire of in the making of his throne. Gondegal ruled for less than a season, though he reigned officially for scarcely eight days. The remainder of his rule was spent fighting here and there against one foe or another in the lands he claimed. His troops were largely mercenary, and his treasury of seized goods was small and soon gone. One night Gondegal's force simply melted away before the advancing troops of Cormyr, and was gone. King Azoun IV retook Arabel on that morn without wetting a blade. No one has ever found the body of Gondegal; he is known to have fled north and then east via Teshwave, but then his fate becomes a matter of conflicting rumor and legend. Some believe he still lives with a score or more of loyal followers, keeping court in the wilds somewhere, a careful and ruthless bandit who takes care that none survive his attacks to carry tales anywhere. When entire caravans vanish at times anywhere between the High Dale and far-off Impiltur, he is blamed by talk in the taverns. Gondegal was said to be a tall, gray-haired warrior of considerable personal skill and intelligence. His badge was a gray wolf's head, face on, with red eyes. Caravan guards often warn merchants to beef up the escort on a particular caravan, "else thy gold'll soon be gilding Gondegal's throne." Gondegal was an impeccable swordsman and somewhat chaotic in his self professed neutral alignment. If he does indeed yet live, the magic or treasure he carries, and who his allies might be, are all unknown. Gondegal's reign had a great influence on the King of Cormyr, at that time in his second decade of rule. Not only was Azoun forced to put down an effective rebellion in his own country, he was forced to pay more attention to matters outside Suzail, to become the ruler of a nation as opposed to a city-state. Further, the bloodless assault on Arabel was Azoun's first true experience at the head of his army, and the joy of "freeing" the people of Arabel is one that remains with him.

The first wizards came in unique flying ships invented by the Netheril, and found a beautiful and rich country settled only by shepherds and large herds of aurochs and wild rothe. It was here that the wizards decided to make a stand, should the Phaerimm follow. The Phaerimm never did, but Halruaa has had to defend itself from attacks by all of its neighbors since then. Over the centuries Dambrath has attacked and raided Halruaa's ports and borders multiple times. Once, led by a magic resistant barbarian, the Dambraii occupied all of the country south of Lake Halruaa. They were defeated in battle by the great archmage Mycontil, who slew their barbarian leader. Forty-thousand Dambraii attacked, and were stopped by 500 Halruaans. More than 200 Halruaan wizards, including Mycontil, died in the battle. The last attack upon Halruaa was less than 100 years ago, through the Telath Pass by the power hungry king of Lapaliiya. He had allied with bandits from the wastes, though this time the Halruaans were able to field a larger force, including fighting men as well as wizards in their skyships. The attackers were easily routed. Halruaa also suffered through a civil war about five centuries ago, when a number of mages advocated beginning new experiments in magic, ones which even the Netheril didn't approve of. The renegades were driven from the region, but went on to found the land of Thay, or so it is said in Halruaa. Since then, Halruaa has been at peace (they have had no declared wars), though it still suffers raids from Dambraii pirates, bandits of the wastes, savages from the Mhair Jungles, and any other pirate, raider, or hungry wizard who thinks that magic and wealth grow on trees in Halruaa.

Although other halflings may disagree with this, it is true that Luiren was settled hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago. Luiren's history is one of conquerors and subjugation. Throughout the centuries the halflings have been conquered by the barbarians who used to inhabit Dambrath, by the kingdom of Estagund, and even once by the monsters of Beldorn. In every case, the invaders were eventually defeated because they made the mistake of underestimating the halflings due to their small stature. A good bit of mischief, mayhem, and general trouble-making by the halflings also helped end the occupations. Currently, Luiren is enjoying unprecedented prosperity. The halflings are currently taking advantage of their relationship with the nation of Durpar; their biggest customer and greatest competitor. Also, through these close ties with Durpar, Luiren has protected itself against another Dambraii invasion. The rulers of Dambrath must know that if they begin to expand to the east, they will arouse the ire of Durpar, as well as Var and Esagund. The threat of a trade embargo and/or military consequences have kept this aggressive nation away from the Luireners.

However, as the forests were cleared over the years, the treecutters came into increasing conflict with elves who feared the loss of their entire wood. This would undoubtedly have occurred, had not the hastily gathered mercenary troops of the fledgling land been defeated by the elves at Singing Arrows (884 DR). This battle convinced distant Chondath to abandon its holdings in the region and allow the immigrant Sembians to establish their independence (though as little more than a collection of rival city-states, much like the Moonsea or Vast of today). It also set the stage for the appearance of the Raven. The young country grew strong as farms prospered in the newly cleared lands. Craftsmen arrived from the south to take advantage of this chance to acquire land and wealth, bringing their trades with them. Rauthauvyr the Raven unified the city-states and towns in the face of the continuing "elven menace," and insisted on maintaining a standing army, which he kept in practice by policing Sembia's borders and improving its roads. At this time (913 DR), Sembia became as a true nation. The Moonsea's (Dragon Sea's) mineral wealth was discovered by humankind at about this time, and pressure began to grow for a trade road through the elven woods to make Sembia the world's gateway to all these riches. The Raven went alone as an envoy to the Elven Court. There, he asked the elders of their Council to approve a road, open to humans, linking Sembia to the shores of the Dragon Sea (an earlier road had been destroyed during the conflict and was now overgrown). Raven proposed that the elves choose the route and retain control of it and the woods around it, so that no woodcutting or human settlement would occur. The elves had earlier made similar arrangements with the Dalesmen and had no difficulty with the concept of such an agreement. However, the inhabitants of Velarsdale (now Harrowdale) refused the proposal, not wanting or needing such a road at that time (curious, since later a ruler of Harrowdale commissioned the disastrous Halfaxe Trail). The elves, not wishing to offend long-time allies, refused Raven's request. Rebuffed, the Raven then threatened to exterminate the isolated elves in Amothoi, the last embattled remnant of the elves in Sembia, if the Elven Court did not cooperate. If the road was built, however, they would be free to trade, or not trade, as they wished. The elves agreed under this pressure, and Sembia's financial future was secured. Hillsfar, on the shores of the Dragon Sea, became a commercial meeting ground between humankind and elves, as did Elventree. The route the elves chose ran past the base of the Standing Stone as a reminder of earlier, less-hostile dealings between humans and elves. Over the years the elves of Amothoi came north to join their brethren or slipped away to seek Evermeet, leaving their wood to gradually disappear. Sembia grew rich under merchant leaders of increasing wisdom, such as Saer (for whom Saerb was named) and Selgar (for whom Chancelgaunt was renamed as Selgaunt). Before his death, Rauthauvyr the Raven saw that these merchants had a strong standing council of merchant elders to advise them and to ensure that no ruler could hold onto power by force of arms. Then this farsighted man, creator of a nation, now half-blind and infirm from old war wounds, rode north into the elven woods and disappeared. None know what happened to him or where his bones lie, save perhaps some few elder elves. Weight: 2 lb.

The humans were the Dalesmen who a millennium earlier had crossed the Dragon Reach and made peace with the elves of Myth Drannor, settling at the borders of the great woods that was the elven home. The drow soon found themselves under continual attack, and most of those who held overground settlements retreated back below. The last powerful drow leader was Azmaer, the marshal of the Twisted Tower in its last drow-held days. Azmaer oversaw the last retreat of the drow holdings in the face of a human uprising, and held the citadel against a year-long siege. With supplies and slaves brought up from the Underdark directly into the tower, the drow could have conceivably held out forever; however, a human slave (family histories in the Dales indicate a number of possible individuals) poisoned the well in the Tower and the citadel was easily overrun. Azmaer's body was not found among the dead, leading some to believe that he escaped back into the depths to rejoin his people. Noting the fact that he would have had to explain to his matriarch how he lost Shadowdale, it is much more likely that, should Azmaer have survived, he went into voluntary exile, hiding from both human and drow. Given that this occurred only 400 years ago, it is certainly possible that Azmaer still lives.

Its first lord was a water wizard who had aided in the final attack; Ashaba, who was great in age when he ascended, and ruled peacefully for 40 years thereafter. It is said that Ashaba realized he was dying and turned himself to water, merging with the river. Since that time, the river, the ford, and the Twisted Tower all bear his name. Before passing on, Ashaba chose one of his trusted lieutenants as the new lord of Shadowdale. Presented to the people of the Dale, he was made the new lord by acclamation. In an additional honor, the pendant worn by Ashaba was thereafter recognized as a symbol of the lordship in the Dalelands, and was possessed by each of the successive lords following.

All have been nonnative to the Dalelands, though all made the land their home. A century ago the lord of the Dales was one Joadath, a stiff-necked agnostic who denied the power of any god, good or evil, and used force to back up his beliefs. During this time there was a great deal of religious persecution, including a massacre of Tyrists on Watcher's Knoll. Joadath was eventually killed by a beast of the nether planes summoned by parties unknown, which then proceeded to rampage through the Dale. The beast was killed and Shadowdale rescued by the spellcasters Aumry and Sylune. Aumry was proclaimed lord by acclamation. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK19.ITM] History of Shadowdale History of Shadowdale - Aumry Rules in Peace: The longest period of peaceful rule was by Lord Aumry and his wife Sylune (better known as the Witch of Shadowdale). They ruled over the community for forty years, a period of extended peace with their neighboring dales, nations, and the elven peoples. It was this very peace and power which made the Dale the target for attacks and sabotage by the Black Network (Zhentarim). They sought (and still seek) to control the trade from the Moonsea to the Sword coast, and desired to make Shadowdale a vassal state of Zhentil Keep. Lord Aumry's rule ended tragically when he was assassinated by Zhentish agents.

Jyordhan, with the Pendant of Ashaba in hand (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales), proceeded to present himself as the new lord, and was so acclaimed by the people. It was unknown to the people that Jyordhan was also an agent of the Zhentarim, and that the entire proceeding had actually been a ruse. Jyordhan abandoned the Twisted Tower, instead establishing himself in Castle Krag east of Shadowdale. His court was soon overrun with agents of the Black Network. When the people eventually revolted, Zhentil Keep sent peace-keeping forces to maintain Jyordhan's rule. Sylune, Lord Aumry's widow, now aware of the deception but a firm pacifist, did her best to keep the Dale healthy and intact during Jyordhan's evil rule.

The story at the time was that Jyordhan accepted an invitation from Khelben to visit Waterdeep, and there he took ill and died. In reality, Jyordhan ambushed Khelben as the mage was leaving Shadowdale, and the Blackstaff killed him. In either case, Khelben took hold of the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales) and returned to Waterdeep with it, promising to send a suitable candidate for lordship to the Dales. Jyordhan had ruled for five years, and without his advocacy, Castle Krag was abandoned and the Zhentil Keep troops routed. Jyordhan's previously chosen successor was a Melvauntan named Lyran, but without the Pendant this individual was considered a pretender to the throne. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK22.ITM] History of Shadowdale History of Shadowdale - Lords Accepted by Acclamation: This acclamation of the people has formed the basis for choosing the lord of Shadowdale since the routing of the evil Lord Jyordhan by Khelben Blackstaff. Usually a predecessor will step down as opposed to dying in office, and his chosen successor will be approved by the populace at large. This system has had its drawbacks, as will be shown below, but in general, it has served the independent, self-willed people of the Dale very well. They have avoided the "genetic lottery of which good bureaucracies and bad kingships are made" (a quote from the venerable Elminster). The symbol of the lordship is the Pendant of Ashaba, a device owned by the original wizard, and used to determine the rightful lord of the Dale.

Sylune and an adventuring company known as Mane's Band were responsible for driving out the Zhentil Keep forces and keeping at bay the monsters in the area. The Twisted Tower, the traditional seat of leadership, remained uninhabited following its abandonment by the evil Lord Jyordhan, and neither Sylune nor the companions of Mane's Band wished to assume the mantle of leader. With time, Mane's Band passed on to other lands and adventures.

They were the Knights of Myth Drannor, so named to show their interest in the elven territories and their connection with the elven peoples, and Khelben gave them the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the Lordship) in return for services rendered to himself and to Shadowdale. Their leader, the ranger Florin Falconhand, refused the honor of the lordship. It was therefore passed to Doust Sulwood, who was made the new lord with the support of Florin and Sylune (wife of the murdered Lord Aumry), and apparently also the secret support of Khelben as well. Doust reoccupied the Twisted Tower, driving out the last agents of the Black Network. He also re-instituted many of Ashaba's democratic ideals, including the Lord's Court where all citizens may speak freely and air their grievances without threat of reprisal. Doust ruled for five years and proved to be a capable ruler, beloved by the people. The regular presence of the Knights of Myth Drannor did much to ensure the protection of the area, particularly against incursions by Lyran Nanther the Pretender. Lyran was to have been Jyordhan's named replacement, but with the Zhentarim routed there was little validity to the claim.

A semi-regular visitor up to that time, he took possession of a low, abandoned tower at the foot of the Old Skull, and declared himself to be officially in retirement. The nature of that retirement varies from active involvement in local affairs to long-term vacations on other planes. The natives of the Dale have come to the understanding that they cannot always count on the powerful mage being in residence in times of need or danger, but when he is present in these circumstances his aid is usually given.

"Seems like a millennium," he was oft known to have reported, and the tedium of court life and the lure of adventure eventually caused him to retire his position and rejoin the Knights of Myth Drannor in regular adventuring. He handed the Pendant of Ashaba (symbol of the Lordship) on to one of the younger Knights, a Waterdhavian noble named Mourngrym Amcathra. Mourngrym had been dispatched by Khelben from Waterdeep for other purposes, but Doust liked both the young man's straightforward honesty and his willingness to shoulder the burden of protecting the small community from myriad dangers. Time has proven this choice a wise one.

An agent was sent northward to divine Mourngrym's true intentions and to guarantee the Dale's continued good relationship with the throne of the Purple Dragon. The agent was a rogue named Shaerl Rowanmantle, sent by Vangerdahast (though all paperwork on this matter has been curiously incinerated in Suzail, so all is hearsay and tale). Shaerl discovered more than she intended and fell in love with young Mourngrym. The two married and became the lord and lady of Shadowdale. Shaerl's loyalty is now to her husband and to the land they co-rule. This was probably not the intention of the Cormyreans. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK28.ITM] History of Shadowdale History of Shadowdale - Mourngrym's Rule: Since being recommended to the position by outgoing Lord Doust Sulwood, Lord Mourngrym Amcathra's rule of Shadowdale has been less peaceful than he had hoped. The First Battle of Shadowdale occurred in the Year of the Prince (1357 DR), and involved Daleland forces routing those of Lyran the Pretender. Lyran has made repeated attempts to gain the Lordship, as was intended by the former Zhentish puppet, Lord Jyordhan. While significant, this battle pales when compared to the larger battle fought on the same site between Bane-led Zhentil Keep forces and the Dales during the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR). When the Battle of Shadowdale is referred to (without a number), it usually means this second battle. In addition, Mourngrym has had to deal with a large number of skirmishes, incursions, a possible invasion from below, explosions, and other sundry disasters. Mourngrym and Shaerl have one child, Scotti, who is now nine winters old. By the customs of the area, he is not considered the heir apparent, and another suitable warrior or mage may take the reins of power of the small community. Most feel that Mourngrym will hold the Pendant until his son has reached his maturity, then abdicate in young Scotti's favor once he takes his grown name. If this happens, it will be the first occasion of the lordship of Shadowdale passing down through a family. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK29.ITM] History of Tethyr History of Tethyr: For the past 1500 years, Tethyr has had a single, strong royal family ruling with absolute power. When a king died or became incapacitated, his oldest son took the throne. As the family trees of those close to power became more intertwined and complicated, there were the inevitable wars of succession and bickering over which second cousin was the "true" heir to the throne. Civil wars were brief, however, and once the fighting was over the system returned to normal (until the next major dispute in a few hundred years or so). The established re-occurring cycle was broken 10 years ago. The current ruling family had been in power for over 350 years, so long that they had dropped their own family name centuries ago (no one even remembers it now) and simply called themselves Tethyr. King Alemander IV was comfortably ruling from Castle Tethyr, and the country seemed happy enough, but there was a broad current of dissatisfaction among the people of Tethyr. Non-humans were forbidden by law to own land, and since most rights and privileges accorded citizens were based on land ownership, they became second-class citizens as well. Things were especially bad for elves, who were driven deep into the Forest of Tethir by royal armies. Alemander IV took land away from rightful owners and gave it to nobles who promised larger contributions to the royal treasury. These social and economic inequities, coupled with several harsh winters and bad harvests in a row, made the time ripe for a change. It takes more than just a couple of lousy winters to depose a king however, it takes treachery as well. In the case of the fall of House Tethyr it took an ambitious general and an impatient royal heir. Prince Alemander grew tired of waiting for the robust Alemander IV to make room for him, so he struck a deal with General Nashram Sharboneth, commander of the king's largest army. While Sharboneth marched his army toward Tethyr, bringing along a sizable group of angry peasants recruited with the promise of land reform, the would-be Alemander V downplayed alarming reports from the king's spies and advisors, silencing the most persistent permanently through murder or exile. By the time Sharboneth's army arrived and laid siege to Castle Tethyr, it was too late for loyalists to help. As Sharboneth launched a direct assault on the castle (using the expendable peasants as shock troops), a handful of elite soldiers let in a secret entrance by the prince would eliminate key guards and open the gates. At the same time, the prince (one of the few people allowed to see the king directly) would murder his father. A fire set by the elite troops would destroy evidence of treachery; the general and the prince would emerge from the conflagration and announce a new, joint government. The plan was executed perfectly, but only up to a point. Sharboneth double-crossed the prince; his men were much too efficient in setting the castle ablaze, and Prince Alemander (along with most of his fellow conspirators) died horribly in the fire. At about the same time, a spy planted on the general's inner staff by the equally duplicitous Alemander murdered the general and dissolved his body with a powerful acid before anyone could come to his aid. To make matters worse, everyone had underestimated the resentment the people felt for the royal family. Once Castle Tethyr began to fall, there was no holding back the mob. In one night, the proudest, strongest castle in all the country was reduced to a smoking ruin. Everything of value - fine tapestries, plates and silverware, furniture, jewelry, weapons, clothes, armor, paintings, statues, etc.- was either stolen, burned, or just ripped apart and stomped into the dust. As news of the fall of the royal family spread, so did the chaos. In what is now known as the "Ten Black Days of Eleint," anyone known (or even suspected) of blood connection to the royal family was put to the sword. This led to some darkly humorous moments, as social climbers who had bragged just a week before of being a sixth cousin twice removed of a royal aunt tried in vain to convince an angry mob that they were "only kidding." The nobles who were the biggest supporters of the royal family also came under attack, and some baronial keeps fell. Local leaders who had adequately distanced themselves from the Tethyr family, or were popular enough (or feared/strong enough), survived. These surviving nobles became the initial players in the fight to decide the fate of Tethyr. One thing was certain; any leader or type of government that too closely resembled rule under the Tethyrs would not be accepted. "Royalist" became a dirty word in Tethyr society. The power struggle continues to this day, and there is no sign of it ending anytime soon. Weight: 2 lb.

Northkeep was a great and magical city, and it was under the protection of these magics that humanity first began to press back the orc hordes and take command of the sea. The power of Northkeep made it an obvious target for orcs, giants, and other evil races. However, these creatures were not inclined towards sea actions, and Northkeep seemed safe until the day when (according to legend) 40,000 inhuman mages, shamans, witch doctors, and priests of all foul races gathered on the northern shore of the Moonsea and began to chant, bringing the vengeance of their gods down upon the human interlopers. The gods (at least some of them) came and destroyed their priests for disturbing them, but also sank Northkeep beneath the waves. The upper reaches of Northkeep - its slender, now-broken spires - can be seen beneath the water by boats that sail nearby. This is not attempted often, however, as the region is said to be haunted by the original defenders of Northkeep, seeking company in their watch over the Cold Lands.

Found In: AR6102 --- [00BOOK31.ITM] History of the Chosen of Mystra History of the Chosen of Mystra: The reason why Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, invested a portion of her divine might in mortals is not known. One of the more popular theories, and one that is gaining more support in light of the goddess' other actions during that period, is that Mystra foresaw the Time of Troubles (and her own passing at the hands of Helm) and chose to give some of her power to mortals in order to ensure that her successor (the female mage Midnight, as it turned out) would have a number of nearly immortal allies in the struggle against the schemes of the gods (the now dead Bane, Myrkul, and Bhaal) who precipitated the Time of Troubles by stealing the Tablets of Fate. The theory goes on to suggest that Mystra informed Azuth at approximately the Year of the Rising Flame (0 DR), more than 1,300 years before the Time of Troubles, that some of her power must be put into the hands of mortals who would then become known as Mystra's Chosen. This power would sleep within the bodies of those mortals, allowing Mystra to call on it only with their permission. It would give the Chosen the innate ability to heal quickly, and would give them life spans far greater than those of ordinary mortals. Mystra speculated that these mortals might be able to call on her power and thereby gain some special abilities, but that these powers would not rival those of a deity. (See "Powers" below.) The Goddess of All Magic then began to select mortals she thought to be suitable. One of the first was the young mage Elminster, and she also singled out a promising wizard named Khelben Arunsun. Both have proved to be worthy and capable receptacles of her power, but Mystra's other early attempts to invest her power in living humans were unsuccessful, and she came to realize that only very few mortals were of stern enough substance to contain such power within themselves without being destroyed or corrupted. Even though some people aside from Elminster and Khelben may have possessed the requisite strength, it is possible that having lived for years prior to being visited by Mystra had set them on a path from which they were not able to deviate. Whatever the reason, the problem needed to be solved. To get around the difficulty, Mystra devised a plan to use herself as a vessel to breed individuals who could be nurtured and acclimated to her power from the very beginnings of their lives. For the father of these individuals, she picked the best example of human stock she could find: Dornal Silverhand, a nobleman and a former Harper who lived near Neverwinter. Mystra then possessed the body of Elue Shundar, a half-elven sorceress whom Dornal was already attracted to. Mystra revealed her presence and her plan to Elue, who happily and eagerly agreed to have the goddess share her body. Elue had been reluctant, but under the influence of Mystra the woman became a seductress, and Dornal found his advances being suddenly returned with great fervor. Dornal and Mystra/Elue were wed in the Year of Drifting Stars (760 DR). The first of seven daughters, Anastra Sylune, was born the following winter. Sylune's six sisters emerged at one-year intervals thereafter: Endue Alustriel, Ambara Dove, Ethena Astorma (she prefers the shortened "Storm" these days), Anamanue Laeral, Alassra Shentrantra (known today as the Simbul), and Er'sseae Qilue. These siblings have become known in Realmsian lore as the Seven Sisters. Dornal, who had been kept in the dark about his wife's true nature through the years (presumably because Mystra didn't want to risk losing his services), was disappointed and nearly distraught by the time his sixth child was born; he had always wanted sons as well as daughters. More importantly, he was seeing his wife deteriorate right before his eyes. The strain of coexisting with the goddess all these years had turned Elue into a withered shell - in essence a lich, clinging to life only because Mystra's power was within her. When Elue was carrying the seventh child, Dornal consulted a priest who told him his wife had been possessed by an entity of great magical power. To spare both of them any further agony, he attempted to slay his wife's physical form by severing her head from her body. As soon as he had done this, Mystra was forced to reveal herself to him, and she went on to explain her scheme. Just as she had worried would happen, Dornal was aghast at how he and his wife had been used by the goddess. He turned his back on the corpse of his wife, abandoned his lands and his children, and vanished into the North. Mystra bore him no ill will, and in fact protected him for the final 30 years of his life. When Dornal finally did meet his end he called out to Mystra, and the goddess granted him continued existence as her servant. Now known as the Watcher, Dornal Silverhand travels the world unseen by mortals on a continuing mission to locate candidates to swell the ranks of the Chosen and to identify possible threats to Mystra and her minions.

Most of the current Dales are relative newcomers, the older having been abandoned, destroyed, or overrun long ago. In those ancient days, when Suzail and Chondathan (now called Saerloon) were mere coastal trading posts, the elves who ruled this forest entertained a request from settlers from the East; refugees and farmers from far-off Impiltur and Damara. This request was to farm and settle the borders of the great forest Cormanthor, in particular the rich delves and dales along the rivers Arkhen and Ashaba. These newcomers did not wish to lumber or clear the inhabited forest, but only to settle on the rich territories on its edges, and unlike some other settlers (early Sembia comes to mind) were willing to ask permission. The lords of the Elven Court granted that request in return for aid from these new Dalelanders against outside aggression, both monstrous (orcs and goblins from the lands of Thar) and human (the rising powers in Cormyr and Sembia). In commemoration of this pact, humans and elves raised the Standing Stone that is now seen where the Moonsea Ride reaches Rauthauvyr's Road, the road from Essembra to Hillsfar. It is from the date of the raising of this stone that Dalereckoning is counted. According to the pact made, the Dalesmen would only settle those regions that were unforested or unclaimed by the elves. As the elven woods receded under the axes of further invaders and settlers, old Dales perished and new ones came into being along the borders of the woods. People, both good and bad, have raised petty nations in the Dalelands since, though any one Dale that turned against the pact would have to deal with the others. Each of the Dales is a large swath of farms and fields, with a few scattered settlements and usually one central marketplace, capital, or Dale center. These centers are often, but not always, named after the Dales they are in, adding to the confusion as to what is a Daleland's territory. The Dales are not city-states, for their largest groupings of population rate as towns at best, and they lack the defensive walls common throughout the Heartlands. They are neither true nations in the fashion of Cormyr or Sembia, and occupy a gray middle ground wherein they are nothing more, or less, than Dales. Each Dale has slightly different laws, customs, and military organizations. Many rely on the work of charismatic heroes and adventuring companies for aid in times of trouble, and a large number of these individuals use the region as a base. This attraction for adventurers is further increased by the large number of elven and pre-elven ruins in the area and the departure of the Elven Court for Evermeet, leaving the woods open for exploration and exploitation. The history of the Dales is filled with battles and attacks on its various members. In the Year of the Worm (1356 DR), Scardale, under the command of Lashan Aumersair, launched a number of swift attacks, conquering a number of the surrounding Dales. A coalition of forces from the others, as well as Sembia, Cormyr, and Zhentil Keep crushed the invaders and occupied Scardale. During the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR), Shadowdale was attacked by Zhentil Keep. More recently, the Dalelands have committed forces to a unified army under King Azoun IV of Cormyr to turn back the Tuigan Invasion (1360 DR). Weight: 2 lb.

Jergal fomented and fed on the discord among mortals and powers alike. When beings slew each other in their quest for power or in their hatred, he welcomed them into his shadowy kingdom of eternal gloom. As all things died, everything came to him eventually, and over time he built his power into a kingdom unchallenged by any other god. Eventually, however, he grew tired of his duties for he knew them too well. Without challenge there is nothing, and in nothingness there is only gloom. In such a state, the difference between absolute power and absolute powerlessness is undetectable. During this dark era, there arose three powerful mortals - Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul - who lusted after the power Jergal wielded. The trio forged an unholy pact, agreeing that they would dare to seek such ultimate power or die in the attempt. Over the length and breadth of the Realms they strode, seeking powerful magic and spells and defying death at every turn. No matter what monster they confronted or what spells they braved, the three mortals emerged unscathed at every turn. Eventually the trio destroyed one of the Seven Lost Gods, and they each seized a portion of his divine essence for themselves. The trio then journeyed into the Gray Waste and sought out the Castle of Bone. Through armies of skeletons, legions of zombies, hordes of noncorporeal undead, and a gauntlet of liches they battled. Eventually they reached the object of their lifelong quest - the Bone Throne. "I claim this throne of evil," shouted Bane the tyrant. "I'll destroy you before you can raise a finger," threatened Bhaal the assassin. '''"And I shall imprison your essence for eternity," promised Myrkul the necromancer. Jergal arose from his throne with a weary expression and said, " The Throne is yours. I have grown weary of this empty power. Take it if you wish - I promise to serve and guide you as your seneschal until you grow comfortable with the position." Before the stunned trio could react, the Lord of the Dead continued: "Who among you shall rule?" The trio immediately fell to fighting amongst themselves while Jergal looked on with indifference. When eventually it appeared that either they would all die of exhaustion or battle on for an eternity, the Lord of the End of Everything intervened. "After all you have sacrificed, would you come away with nothing? Why don't you divide the portfolios of the office and engage in a game of skill for them?" asked Jergal. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul considered the god's offer and agreed. Jergal took the heads of his three most powerful liches and gave them to the trio that they would compete by bowling the skulls. Each mortal rolled a skull across the Gray Waste, having agreed that the winner would be he who bowled the farthest. Malar the Beastlord arrived to visit Jergal at this moment. After quickly ascertaining that the winner of the contest would get all of Jergal's power, he chased off after the three skulls to make sure that the contest would be halted until he had a chance to participate for part of the prize. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul again fell to fighting as it was obvious their sport was ruined, and again Jergal intervened. "Why don't you allow Lady Luck to decide so you don't have to share with the Beast?" The trio agreed, and Jergal broke off his skeletal finger bones and gave them to the players. When Malar returned from chasing the skulls, he found that the trio had just finished a game of knucklebones. Bane cried out triumphantly, "As winner, I choose to rule for all eternity as the ultimate tyrant. I can induce hatred and strife at my whim, and all will bow down before me while in my kingdom." Myrkul, who had won second place, declared, "But I choose the dead, and by doing so I truly win, because all you are lord over, Bane, will eventually be mine. All things must die - even gods." Bhaal, who finished third, demurred, "I choose death, and it is by my hand that all that you rule Lord Bane will eventually pass to Lord Myrkul. Both of you must pay honor to me and obey my wishes, since I can destroy your kingdom, Bane, by murdering your subjects, and I can starve your kingdom, Myrkul, by staying my hand." Malar growled in frustration, but could do nothing, and yet again only the beasts were left for him. And Jergal merely smiled, for he had been delivered. Weight: 2 lb.

Situated on the main trade routes between the Inner Sea and the Sword Coast, these lands never coalesced into a solid, coherent nation, like Cormyr or Sembia. Instead small petty city-states have risen and fallen, powered by greed and the most powerful merchant or pirate faction of the day. As a result, the Dragon Coast has always been the home of the smuggler, the pirate, the rogue, and the hired killer. It has been the place where those seeking to skirt the laws of more civilized nations to the north make landfall. It is here that the Red Wizards gain their access to the Western Heartlands, and where the Cult of the Dragon launches its plots to the south. And it is here that independent secret societies and assassin guilds have their greatest power. The last semblance of organized resistance to this trend was the reign of Verovan, last of the kings of Westgate. The monarchy of Westgate had long worked closely with the various mercantile and pirate factions, but Verovan attempted to stem the growing power of the merchant houses and petty lords. His sudden and mysterious death without acceptable heirs in 1248 DR opened the door for much of what now is commonplace in the Dragon Coast - corruption and treachery. It should be noted that while Verovan's name is still venerated in these lands, better known is Immurk, the greatest of the Inner Sea Pirates, a brash and flamboyant rogue who united a pirate fleet beneath him and ruled from 1164 DR to his death in 1201 DR. Such it is in the Dragon Coast, that good people are venerated, but the power of darker rogues is imitated.

Even then they were known as "Dark Elves," for the hue of their skins. They dwelt in the jungles and hot forests of the South. A proud, warlike, culturally advanced (some sages of other elven peoples say "decadent") folk, the Ilythiiri attacked all neighbors, including other elven tribes. Their cruel raids and depredations, ordered by warlike nobility and the clergy of their two cruel deities, Ghaunadaur and Lolth, forced elves, humans, dwarves, and others to ally against them. Defeated in a series of titanic magical battles, the dark elves fled into underground warrens they had earlier discovered. This event, known as "the Descent," marked the end of the drow as a surface-dwelling race. Weight: 2 lb.

In fact, they immediately launched a series of wars to establish territories in the Underdark. They began by stealing and seizing dwarven magical items, and using them against the dwarves - establishing an enmity that is still strong today. The drow then fought among themselves, noble against noble, priest against priestess, for rule of their new realm. This all-out war ended amid great magical explosions that brought down the roof of the largest dwarven cavern they had seized, great Bhaerynden. The ceiling collapsed entirely, burying many drow and the shattered dwarven cities. The cavern, now open to the sky, became known as The Great Rift. The surviving drow nobles gathered what people, slaves, and equipment they could seize, and fled into the Underdark in search of places to dwell. "The Scattering" brought about the many rival, self-interested cities where most drow live today. Weight: 2 lb.

When each new-born baby enters into the Realms, Tymora flips a coin formed from the remnants of the original goddess of luck, Tyche. Beshaba calls it in the air - the moon (heads) or the cloak (tails). If Beshaba is right, that person is cursed with misfortune for the rest of his or her days. If she's wrong, Lady Luck smiles on that child for the rest of his or her life.

This empire rose at the dawn of time in Faerun, and its lords thought to challenge the gods in their arrogance. In punishment, the powers cursed the reigning monarch of the land with fascination and his brethren with devotion. The powers then dropped a star onto the land. The impact of the fallen star created a huge valley later known as the Sea of Fallen Stars. Slowly picking up speed, the ball rolled through the titan nation and onward to the south. Unable to contain his curiosity, the titan king ran off after the bouncing sphere and his devoted followers dutifully followed his tracks. The meteorite rolled on and on until it reached the Great Sea and vanished into the depths. The monarch dove into the sea, and, lemming-like, the entire titan race dove in after him, never to be seen again. Ashamed at the destruction they had wrought, the powers vowed to keep both curiosity and loyalty firmly in check to avoid such disasters in the future. They have done so to this day, preventing both new ideas from being pursued with any speed and the intelligent races of Toril from ever fully cooperating. Weight: 2 lb.

The deep sea was an excellent barrier to the raiders, as those tribes who sought invasion had to detour around and through the lands that would eventually hold Yulash, Zhentil Keep, and Hillsfar. The first true settlement in Moonsea was Northkeep, a shining citadel established as a beacon of civilization and a jumping-off point for merchants seeking trade with the dwarves of the North - including not only Tethyamar, but the clans of the Cold Lands - who traded their metalwork and craft for much-needed magic. In the end, Northkeep was sunk beneath the icy waters of the Moonsea by the inhuman forces, and humankind suffered one of many setbacks in the region. So has been the nature of human habitation of this region since the beginning. Human settlements thrive for a few years, usually through sheer willpower and on the strength of a sharp sword, and then are overrun by goblins, orcs, dragons, beholders, or giants. Phlan has fallen and risen again. Yulash is a ruin where a decade ago there was a thriving town. Hulburg and Sulasspryn are empty hulks. Each of the cities of the Moonsea seems threatened with extinction in its turn, then is rebuilt. This cycle may be the reason that only the strongest and the most savage survive, even prosper, in the lands of the Moonsea. The greatest cities - Hillsfar, Mulmaster, and the impenetrable Zhentil Keep - are all ruled by evil people who control their lands with iron grips. The lesser cities, Elventree, Phlan, and Thentia, may be less evil, but have a strong, independent, almost chaotic nature. In many ways the Moonsea is a frontier, with a frontier mentality.

From their ornate forest cities they traded with emerging human nations like Netheril and Illusk and repulsed the attacks of the goblin races. Meanwhile, dwarven clans united as the nation of Delzoun, named for the dwarf who forged the union. The nation, existing primarily underground, extended from the Ice Mountains to the Nether Mountains. Silver Moon Pass was its western border and the Narrow Sea its eastern shore. Orcs came from north of the Spine of the World but were turned back in great slaughter by the elves. To this day, this is the homeland and stronghold for orcs and similar races. Weight: 2 lb. Found In: AR4101, AR5201 --- [00BOOK41.ITM] History of the North II History of the North - The Crown Wars: Humans immigrated in bands from the Shining Sea and up to the Sword Coast. They became seafarers, striking out across the waves to the Moonshaes, Mintarn, Ruathym, and the northern islands. Elves engaged in an unceasing war against each other with the humans and orcs taking over the resulting ruins. Perhaps the greatest calamity to befall the Fair Folk was the Dark Disaster, a killing magic that took the form of a dark, burning cloud. It enshrouded the kingdom of Mieyritar, and when it faded away some months later, not an elf lived - nor were trees left; only an open, blasted moor: the High Moor. All was not dark for the elves. Although in retreat, as barbarian humans and orc hordes grew in strength, their power rose in the Elven Court and Evereska (remaining a stronghold to this day). They conceived of cooperation between dwarves, kindly humans, and other elves for mutual survival against orcs, marauding humans, and the tide of beasts (ogres, bugbears, trolls, goblins, gnolls, and other nonhuman creatures) led by the rising power of giants. Astonishingly, in at least three places - the Fallen Kingdoms and the cities of Silverymoon and Myth Drannor - they succeeded with shining grace. To the east, on the sandy shores of the calm and shining Narrow Sea, human fishing villages grew into small towns and then joined together as the nation of Netheril. Sages believe the fishing towns were unified by a powerful human wizard who had discovered a book of great magic power that had survived from the Days of Thunder - a book that legend calls the Nether Scrolls. Under this nameless wizard and those who followed, Netheril rose in power and glory, becoming both the first human land in the North and the most powerful. Some say this discovery marked the birth of human wizardry, since before then, mankind had only shamans and witch doctors. For over 3,000 years Netheril dominated the North, but even its legendary wizards were unable to stop their final doom. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK43.ITM] History of the North History of the North - The Elven Exodus: This era left behind elven strongholds ripe for pillaging by humans and orcs. When elves chose to leave the North and travel to Evermeet, their works quickly disappeared, leaving only places like the Old Road and a ruined port in the High Forest to mark Eaerlann's passing. And yet it was not only the elves who would disappear from their long-held homes; the human nation of Netheril also stood on the brink of history. Doom for Netheril came in the form of a desert, devouring the Narrow Sea and spreading to fill its banks with dry dust and blowing sand. Legend states when the great wizards of Netheril realized their land was lost, they abandoned it and their countrymen, fleeing to all corners of the world and taking the secrets of wizardry with them. More likely, this was a slow migration that began 3,000 years ago and reached its conclusion 1,500 years later. Whatever the truth, wizards no longer dwelled in Netheril. To the north, the once-majestic dwarven stronghold of Delzoun fell upon hard days. Then the orcs struck. Orcs have always been foes in the North, surging out of their holes every few tens of generations when their normal haunts can no longer support their burgeoning numbers. This time they charged out of their caverns in the Spine of the World, poured out of abandoned mines in the Graypeaks, screamed out of lost dwarfholds in the Ice Mountains, raged forth from crypt complexes in the Nether Mountains, and stormed upward from the bowels of the High Moon Mountains. Never before or since has there been such an outpouring of orcs. Delzoun crumbled before this onslaught and was driven in on itself. Netheril, without its wizards, was wiped from the face of history. The Eaerlann elves alone withstood the onslaught, and with the aid of the treants of Turlang and other unnamed allies, were able to stave off the final days of their land for yet a few centuries more. In the east, Eaerlann built the fortress of Ascalhorn and turned it over to refugees from Netheril as Netherese followers built the town of Karse in the High Forest. The fleeing Netherese founded Llorkh and Loudwater. Others wandered the mountains, hills, and moors north and west of the High Forest, becoming ancestors of the Uthgardt and founders of Silverymoon, Everlund, and Sundabar.

Waterdeep was founded. The last of the pure blood elves died out, a result of continued marriages with humans. In the far west, men also dwelled - wise, clever primitives called the Ice Hunters. They lived simple lives on the coast since time beyond reckoning, countless generations before Netheril's first founders set foot on the Narrow Sea's western shore. Yet this peaceful folk fell prey to another invasion from the south: crude longships that carried a tall, fair-haired, warlike race who displaced the Ice Hunters from their ancestral lands. This race, known as the Northmen, spread farms and villages along the coast from the banks of the Winding Water to the gorges of the Mirar. Northmen warriors drove the simple Ice Hunters farther and farther north, forced the goblinoids back into their mountain haunts, and instigated the last Council of Illefarn. Within 500 years of the Northmen's arrival, Illefarn was no more - its residents had migrated to Evermeet. From the Coast, Northmen sailed westward, claiming and establishing colonies on the major western islands of Ruathym and Gundarlun, eventually spreading to all the islands in the northern sea. Others migrated northward, past the Spine of the World, and became the truly savage barbarians of Icewind Dale. In the centuries that followed, Ascalhom became Hellgate Keep when it fell into the hands of fiends, and Eaerlann collapsed under the attack of a new orc horde. The elves fled southeast, joining with Northmen, Netherese descendants, and dwarves to form what would later be known as the Fallen Kingdom. This realm was short-lived and collapsed under the next orcish invasion - though in dying, it dealt the goblin races a blow from which they have yet to recover. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK45.ITM] History of the North History of the North - The Might of Men: Along the coast, in what was once the elven community of Illefarn, humanity was once again rising in power. Merchants from the south, tribesmen from the North, and seafarers from western islands had created a village around a trading post on a deep-water harbor, first known as Nimoar's Hold after the Uthgardt chieftain whose tribe seized and fortified the ramshackle village. Nimoar and his successors, known as War Lords, led the men of Waterdeep (as it had become known to ship captains) in a slowly losing battle against the trolls. In a final, climactic battle, the trolls breached the aging palisade and all seemed lost - until the magic of Ahghairon of Silverymoon turned luck against the trolls, destroying and scattering them. Ahghairon, heir to the heritage and learning of Netheril, stayed in Waterdeep, and in his 112th year he again saved the city - this time from itself. In so doing, he created the Lords of Waterdeep. The city grew into the greatest in the North, possibly in all Faerun. With Waterdeep as a firm anchor, civilization forged cautiously into the wilderness. Illuskan (now Luskan) was taken from the orcs. Loudwater, Llorkh, Triboar, Longsaddle, Secomber, and other towns were settled by pioneers from Waterdeep, sponsored by Waterdhavian merchant families. Though it's been centuries since the last orc invasion, there's still constant strife. Barbarians harass merchants, travelers, and towns, the seas swim with Northmen pirates, and wars have marred the land in recent years. Luskan, now a fierce merchant city known to harbor - and support - pirates, waged a war with the island realm of Ruathym over an act of piracy against one of the few legitimate Luskan merchant ships. The war raged for nearly a year, with Ruathym slowly losing ground. When it appeared Luskan would finally win the naval war and land on the island itself, the Lords' Alliance entered the fray. They threatened war against Luskan if the skirmishes didn't stop immediately. Unable to fight a two-front war efficiently, Luskan canceled its invasion plans. Tensions between Luskan and Ruathym are still high, and their ships are often seen taking potshots at each other as they pass, often just a wave or two away from each other. The government of Ruathym has recently been sending adventurers into the hills of its island realm, looking for mercenaries who are killing merchants, farmers, and woodsmen. Ruathym believes Luskan still has a presence on the island, trying to win through subversion and terrorism what it could not accomplish through war. To the far north, the Ten-Towns have finished rebuilding after being nearly destroyed by the monstrous forces of Akar Kessel. With help from the tundra barbarians living nearby, they've built and repaired their cities, replanted the sparse foliage, and - most importantly - replenished the morale of their citizens. A recent trader who passed through the area carrying 17 wagons of rare oak lumber said that it was nearly impossible to determine who's a barbarian and who isn't. "They're living together!" he reported in amazement.

As the tribe's warriors descended into the ranks of the evil adventurers, teleportation magic spirited at least three of those responsible - as well as a vast amount of treasure stolen from Elrem - to safety. According to Themrin, the tribe's present shaman, Elrem promised to "watch over the tribe in spirit now that my mortal form is destroyed." Despite the reassuring words of Elrem, the tribe suffered through an oppressive winter that included both heavy snow, scarce game, and low morale. Trusted visitors to the barbarian encampment report that Themrin and Gweshen "Ironhand" Talistars are wearing some form of armor made from the scales of Elrem. This use of their former shaman's body as "protection" was supposedly ordained through a dream vision. The armor appears as little more than a supple leather armor, but seems to deflect blows and protect as well as full plate mail. Nesme reported a drastic rise in the number of troll attacks in the Evermoors, and various sources confirm that something is driving the trolls out of the moors. Whatever is behind the trolls' exodus is destined to remain a mystery for the remainder of the year, as adventuring parties expend themselves against the never-ending supply of trolls that are fleeing the bog. In the most surprising move of the year, the Blue Bear Tribe, led by the shaman/chieftain Tanta Hagara, marched on the fiend-ridden fortress of Hellgate Keep. While a brief struggle for political control of the city was reported by various sources, Tanta Hagara emerged as the new ruler of the city. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK47.ITM] History of the North History of the North - 1369, Year of the Gauntlet: The tumultuous climate of Hellgate Keep continued to provide adventuring activity. A group of Harpers infiltrated the city using cloaking magic and revealed that Tanta Hagara was actually an annis. This revelation did nothing to hamper the Blue Bear's respect for their powerful chieftain however, and the city responded to the unmasking by attacking caravans en route to Sundabar. In addition, a few expeditionary forces of tanar'ri were sent to harass the Citadel of the Mists, Sundabar, and Silverymoon. Tanta Hagara informed her "loyal troops" that gates existed in these cities that could allow other tanar'ri to "join us in the glorious battles to come as we take control of all of the North!" Alustriel cast powerful magical spells in the defense of Silverymoon against the raiding tanar'ri, and the city itself suffered no damage from their attack. The Mistmaster of the Citadel of the Mists likewise aided in the defense of his citadel, though reports still rage about the assistance of the treants of the High Forest. Sundabar suffered from Hellgate Keep's attack, as the fiends broke through the walls and raised havoc along the city streets. While adventurers battled the fiends, Helm Dwarffriend led a large contingent of the city guard to drive the remainder from Sundabar. Still, the fiends from Hellgate Keep left the city with the satisfaction of knowing that it was burning in their wake. Within two days, however, the fires were extinguished, and Sundabar has since rebuilt from the attack. By mid Eleasias, rumors that Turlang, the powerful treant who resides in the northern High Forest, was actively defending the woodlands near the Citadel of the Mists reached the ears of Tanta Hagara, the hag-ruler of Hellgate Keep. News that Turlang was aiding the Mistmaster did not escape her notice, and the belief that the Citadel of the Mists was holding an extra-planar artifact only added to the hag's interest. Tanta assembled a large force consisting of more than 100 tanar'ri and other fiends as well as 500 members of the Blue Bear tribe to raze the Citadel of the Mists. But as the evil forces marched their way into the High Forest, the Mistmaster put his own plan into motion. Two Harper agents, a bard named Cryshana Fireglen and a priest of Mystra known as Spellviper, infiltrated Hellgate Keep disguised as members of the Blue Bear tribe. Each carried with them part of an extra-planar artifact called the Gatekeeper's Crystal. The Gatekeeper's Crystal is an artifact shaped like a three-pointed star that is made of onyx and an unknown metal that entwines itself through the gem. Each point of the star is a separate piece that can be combined together to create the artifact or separated to form three powerful magical items. While the crystal can be used in different manners, it was primarily created to bring down wards, including mythals and other powerful protections. According to legend, it was created by a powerful lich who used it to render clerics powerless, stripping them of their ability to turn undead and nullifying necromantic magic within a 50-mile radius. The Mistmaster had a different use for the Gatekeeper's Crystal, but he needed volunteers to aid him in placing two shards of the crystal at precise locations within the warded city of Hellgate Keep. In particular, he needed two people who would be willing to trade their lives to exterminate the fiends of Hellgate Keep forever. Spellviper and Cryshana agreed to the suicide mission. Holding the pieces of the crystal, the two Harpers waited for the Mistmaster to activate the magic with his third piece, initiating the magic that would tear Hellgate Keep asunder. When a blazing beam of purple energy illuminated the skies over the keep, no one within the fiend's stronghold had time to wonder what was happening. The power of the Gatekeeper's Crystal forced the wards to cascade upon the city, causing an implosion that shook the ground for more than 100 miles. As quickly as the wards surrounding Hellgate Keep collapsed, the crystal released the magical energy in an explosion that leveled every building in the city, leaving nothing but fist-sized chunks of rocks where Hellgate Keep once stood. Not a living creature stirred in the remains; all was silent and lifeless. The force of tanar'ri from Hellgate Keep was unsure what had happened but had felt the tremor when the Gatekeeper's Crystal had been activated. They were fighting for their own lives, however, as the treants, korred, centaurs, satyrs, dryads, and other creatures of the High Forest - including defenders of the Citadel of the Mists - battered them into the moist earth. One of the North's most notable rulers fell in the battle, however, but he took at least six tanar'ri with him to his grave. Faurael Blackhammer, the lord protector of Triboar, fell alongside his troops near the conclusion of the conflict. Within weeks after the final battle with Hellgate Keep, treants blocked passage farther north at the joining of the Heart-blood and Delimbiyr rivers. While the treants care little for hunters and adventurers passing through the area, all caravans seeking passage north to Sundabar have been repulsed - and this is not a matter that the treants wish to negotiate. In another mishap blamed on Turlang, Tumstone Pass was blocked by a tremendous avalanche. This final calamity sealed the Upvale from any major force of men. Travel into the area formerly occupied by Hellgate Keep is now limited to adventurers and other brave travelers. The Mistmaster has been questioned repeatedly by some of the most powerful wizards in the Realms, including Elminster of Shadowdale and Khelben Arunsun, about the current location of the Gatekeeper's Crystal. Most sources claim that the pieces of the crystal have been scattered amongst the planes again, but no one is certain. Near Nesme, the source of the trolls' exodus is revealed. Fog and cloud giants have taken up residence in the moor, driving the trolls from the giants' new "homeland." While it's unknown how many giants have taken up residence in the High Moor, estimates range up to several hundred. A thick mist continually hangs in the air of the Evermoors now, even more persistent and thick than the mist before the giants' arrival. Many believe that these new mists are the work of the cloud giants, but none can be certain. Alustriel of Silverymoon sent a detachment of guards to investigate the eastern borders of the moor, and the guards returned with news that a gathering of around 20 fog giants who were "of good nature and quite friendly" had taken up residence in a formerly troll-infested area. Guards from neighboring Nesme were not so fortunate, however, running into a clan of violent, boulder-hurling fog and cloud giants who nearly decimated their unit. In addition, a group of adventurers crawled into Nesme with terrible burns, reporting that they had run into a black dragon at a fog giant encampment. Overall, it appears that both good and evil giants now call the moor their home.

Something must still reside below the ruins of Hellgate Keep, however, for the Company of the Jaded Heart never emerged from the depths below the city. The treants have since blocked entrance into the ruins, sealing whatever evil still lurks within far below the sight of man. But there is other activity in the North as well. Luskan still flirts with war, tempting neighboring cities and yet staying just below the wrath of Waterdeep.

After Lord Ao created Realmspace, there was a period of timeless nothingness, a misty realm of shadows before light and dark were separate entities. Within this dim chaos stalked 13 lords of shadow, the Shadevari - whether they came from elsewhere or are children of the shadow itself, none can say. Eventually this primordial essence coalesced into twin beautiful goddesses who were yin and yang to each other; they were so close they thought of themselves as one being. The Two-Faced Goddess created the heavenly bodies of the crystal sphere and together infused them with life to form the Earthmother, Chauntea. (Although Chauntea has since contracted her essence to encompass only Abeir-Toril, in the beginning she embodied all matter in Realmspace.) This new universe was lit by the face of the silver-haired goddess, who called herself Selune, and darkened by the welcoming tresses of the raven-haired goddess, Shar, but no heat or fire existed within it. Chauntea begged for warmth so that she could nurture life and living creatures upon the planets that were her body and limbs, and the two sisters-Who-Were-One become divided, as for the first time they were of two minds. Silvery Selune contested with her dark sister over whether or not to bring further life to the worlds. During this great conflagration, the gods of war, disease, murder, and death, among others, were created from residues of the deific battle. At one point during the battle, Selune seized the advantage and reached across time and space to a land of eternal fire. Fighting the pain of the blaze, which burned her sorely, she broke off a fragment of that ever-living flame and ignited one of the heavenly bodies so that it burned in the sky and warmed Chauntea. Incensed, Shar redoubled her attack on her injured twin and began to snuff out all light and heat throughout the crystal sphere. Again Selune gave of herself and tore the divine essence of magic from her body, flinging it desperately at her sister in defense of life in the sphere. This essence entered Shar, ripped an equal portion of energy from her, and reformed behind her as the goddess of magic, known now as Mystra, but then as Mystryl. Though Mystryl was composed of both light and dark magic, she favored her first mother Selune initially, allowing the silver goddess to win an uneasy truce with her more powerful, dark twin. Consumed by bitterness at her defeat, Shar vowed eternal revenge. The twin goddesses contested for eons as life struggled into existence on Toril and the other planets under Chauntea's watchful gaze. Shar remained powerful, but bitterly alone, while Selune waxed and waned in power, often drawing strength from her allied Daughters and sons and like-minded immigrant deities. Over time, Shar grew strong again, aided by the shadevari who preferred night to blinding light and who stalked the Realms seeking to meld light and dark into shadowy chaos once again. Shar's plot to reform the world after her own desires was undone when Azuth, the High One, formerly the greatest of all mortal spellcasters and now consort to Mystra (incarnate successor to Mystryl), found a way to imprison the shadevari in a pocket-sized crystal sphere located beyond the edges of the world by creating the illusion of a realm of shadows. The Lords of Shadow were drawn to investigate, and before they discovered the trick, Azuth imprisoned the shadevari with the Shadowstar, a key of shadows forged by Gond. The High Lord then hurled the key into the endless reaches of the cosmos allowing life to flourish on in Chauntea's loving hands. Weight: 2 lb.

Each natural race is said to have emerged from the womb of Chauntea onto Toril at the river's source, and then traveled down the Unicorn Run to the outside world. Some say that a daughter of Chauntea resides at the river's source to usher the newborns into the world, while others claim that Shialla midwifes the process. Regardless of the truth, the elves, korreds, and halflings all agree that the Unicorn Run is sacred to life and a site of incredible purity. As a result, all three races have strong taboos about extended trips up the run, for if the river is ever fouled, then no new races will ever be born on Toril again.

Any mortal who reaches the Valley becomes a deity, for only deities may exist in the Valley.

These were the breeding grounds of the goblin hordes that would spill eastward and cross the Dragon Reach in ramshackle boats to raid the elves. The orcs were overthrown by invading dwarves, who established the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. It was during this time that the first humans came to the Vast, including the mage Maskyr. The rule of the dwarves occurred against a backdrop of constant war with the orcs, such that there were perhaps only 40 years of true peace for the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. The dwarves were overrun by the orcs, and they escaped extinction only through the aid of human and elven allies. The remaining dwarves left the region to the newly arriving humans and retreated to the east, to the south, and to isolated and hidden communities within the Vast. The most successful of the humans were the adventurers whose hunger was sated by gold and whose thirst was slaked by great deeds. This was the Time of the Glorious Fools, and there are those who will argue that it is still that age, as adventurers still rule the cities of Calaunt and Ravens Bluff. The orcs today are contained, if not conquered, and trade has grown up in the lands of the Vast. However, for many individuals with adventuring blood, it is still a wilderness in which one may prove one's worth.

In ancient times these were the lands of the Fallen Kingdom of Illefarn, the Lost Kingdom of Man, and rumored Netheril. In more recent history, the land has been fertilized with blood and bone as forces from the Empires of the Sands surged northward, the evil peoples within Dragonspear and the Goblin Marches spilled forth, and mercenary companies moved to and fro in the service of one petty warlord after another. Recent battles leveled the Way Inn and threatened Daggerford. Even the Time of Troubles did not leave this desolate land unmarked - Bhaal himself perished at Boareskyr Bridge, and the waters it passes over have remained poisoned to this day. The cities of the Western Heartlands are strong, independent, and varied. They are also strongly motivated by trade, and listen harder to the ringing of gold than the call of battle. But something else prospers in the open land - freedom and opportunity. No nation lays claim on the Western Heartlands to land beyond that which their armies can control, and no warlord can make demands beyond the swing of his axe. Small holds and castles regularly spring up, only to be knocked down by invading forces, or abandoned after a generation or two. Lost dungeons and secret citadels lie scattered throughout the land, and this rugged frontier presents more than enough opportunities for adventurers.

The two are closely tied, such that a speaker may refer to one when meaning the other and still be clearly understood. In general, both mean trouble. Zhentil Keep is a walled, independent city on the western shores of the Moonsea. It is one of the most evil cities in the Realms, a blight on the North, and a haven for Evil groups, plotting manipulators, dark religions, and foul practices. Its rulers seek to dominate the lands around it, including the Dragonspine Mountains, Yulash, Voonlar, and the neighboring Dales. The city of Zhentil Keep and its armies (known as the Zhentilar, to make matters more confusing) have destroyed Teshendale, come close to destroying Daggerdale, and for a long time had an agent ruling Shadowdale. The Zhentarim is an organization of evil priests, wizards, and inhuman creatures bent on controlling all the trade and power between the Sword Coast (meaning Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep) and the Moonsea (including the intervening lands of Cormyr and Anauroch). Its aims in the Moonsea area are the same as Zhentil Keep's, and the two factions work hand-in-glove, often sharing the same membership. The Zhentarim have a more far-reaching effect than Zhentil Keep, though, and have agents throughout the North. In addition, the Zhentarim are not limited to Zhentil Keep itself, and maintain a number of fortified outposts. Their rulership has spread with the passing years. In addition to being the dominant force in Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim control the Citadel of the Raven and Darkhold, two important castle complexes. Over the years, more power has been moving away from Zhentil Keep (filled with a lot of unknown and untrustworthy flunkies) and into these more secure areas. Within the Dalelands area, Zhentarim smells of Zhentil Keep and vice versa, but in reality not every Keeper (yet another name for a native of Zhentil Keep) is of the Black Network, and not every agent of the Zhentarim is from Zhentil Keep. Adventurers should watch who they trust as a result.

When the empire was destroyed, it endured centuries of barbarism. Warchiefs united the country several times during this period. They fought many skirmishes with other barbarians, particularly those in Durpar and Var the Golden. In 202 DR, the barbarian tribes were nearly wiped out by the forces of Mulhorand. In 348 DR, a group of outlaws, fleeing the justice of the priest-kings of Mulhorand, came to Ulgarth. There they found a fertile, almost unoccupied land. They settled down, and began raising children and crops. This new society in Ulgarth gradually grew in power, while its neighbors grew apace. But while Durpar grew as a result of its commerce and its philosophy of balance, Ulgarth concentrated on agrarian pursuits. The Ulgarthians developed a highly structured caste system of lords and peasants. In 1002 DR, the centuries' long skirmishes between Durpar and Ulgarth came to an end, as the two countries finally reached a balance of power. There were too many centuries of warfare between the countries for them to completely trust each other. With their mutual border well defended on both sides, both countries have given up on the idea of conquering the other. Trade between the Ulgarth and the Shining Lands has become a vital factor to both nations. Ulgarth produces many of the items that Durparians trade throughout the world. In return, Durpar trades many exotic items to Ulgarth. Of course, the Durparian merchants usually get the better of any trade. The current king, Drasna the Fortunate, has continued his predecessor's policy of non-aggression with the Durparians.

This has worked in Amn's favor for generations, because even if they were conquered, the new masters would be gentle, looking to gain wealth from the land, rather than to put it to the torch. Amn has been a center of trade and commerce for as long as anyone can remember. Oral traditions handed down from father to son tend to support the theory that Amn has been a trade center for at least 800 years. Unfortunately, written records are difficult to find and often incomplete. It would seem the typical Amnish citizen was too busy trying to fill their coffers to write down events of the day. Amn has always been more interested in the present and the future than the past, and this makes an accurate history difficult. The best records, the business papers of the oldest trading companies, are jealously guarded. The fear of revealing "trade secrets" is stronger than the call of history, so the average citizen knows very little about Amn's past. It appears that the Amn of 100 years ago was very much like the Calimshan of today. Each major city was basically an independent entity, banding together for defense when necessary, and fighting for control of territory and profitable trade routes the rest of the time. A particularly brutal trade war began 24 years ago, with each city exacting prohibitive tariffs on goods imported from the others. The trade war escalated, and city troops began to raid caravans sponsored by other cities. In a matter of months commerce was brought to a halt, a number of cities were under siege, and war threatened to engulf the entire region. Into the breach stepped a young merchant named Thayze Selemchant. Thayze was smart, charismatic, and very well connected (the Selemchant trading house was one of the oldest and richest in Athkatla.) He secretly contacted representatives of the five other richest merchant houses in Amn, and started to plan. The first part of the plan involved the careful sprinkling of rumors about outside threats. One involved a pirate invasion from the Nelanther, another was about a massing of orcs just on the other side of the Cloud Peaks. Thayze even started a rumor about an elf army in the Forest of Tethir, ready to pounce on a divided Amn. None of the rumors were true, but they began to turn people's thoughts toward unity, not war. Thayze knew that if he and the other members of his council were to take control of Amn, they would need broad-based popular support. Tensions between cities and merchant houses were still high, so to get that support, Selemchant and the others agreed to drop their family names and never use them again. When news of a "Council of Six" spread throughout the land, many people accepted their rule. A group that would unite Amn under one rule, governing for the benefit of all instead of one city or trading company over another, was indeed a welcome change. The Council raised an army (at great personal expense) to quell the few pockets of resistance that remained, and have been in total control of Amn for the past 22 years.

By 1,000 years ago, permanent farms had sprung up in the area. The first mention of a Waterdeep (not as a city, but as a collection of warlords) occurs only 400 years ago. The city was truly established as a going concern by 1032 DR, the year Ahghairon became the first Lord of Waterdeep, and the date from which Northreckoning is counted. The city grew spectacularly, such that by 1248 DR both the City of the Dead and the guilds had been developed. The guildmasters seized control soon afterwards, ushering in a period of unrest and bitter conflict known as the Guildwars. The Guildwars ended only when the two surviving guildmasters brought in their own period of misrule. It was only in 1273 DR that the present system of government (or lack thereof) was instituted. This was the year that the Magisters were established and the secret Lords of Waterdeep were firmly reestablished. Since that time, the city has continued to grow and prosper. Humankind and other races come from all over the Realms to earn hard coin in the City of Splendors. Over the years these successful merchants have set up guilds and themselves become nobility, supporting the secretive Lords of Waterdeep who police the city fairly, yet with a light hand, by means of the superb city guard (soldiers), city watch (police), and over 20 black-robed magistrates. As a result, Waterdeep is a place tolerant of different races, religions, and lifestyles. This in turn has encouraged commerce, and Waterdeep has grown into a huge, eclectic city. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK60.ITM] History of Waterdeep History of Waterdeep - Age 0, Tuabemoots and Pioneers: Few now know the true history of this great city, which had its beginnings over a thousand years ago, when the North was truly what Southerners still sneeringly call it: "the Savage North." In those days, most of the North was covered with vast, tall forests of ancient green, and inhabited by dwarves and goblinkind (in the most northern mountains and foothills) and elves (in widely scattered forest enclaves everywhere else). A few primitive human tribes lived along the Sword Coast, fishing, hunting and gathering in spring and fall to trade their furs with vessels sailing in from the south for merchant's jewelry, metal tools, and the occasionally-available weapon or two. In the spring, these vessels came primarily to cut and take huge trees for shipbuilding, trees being no longer available in such large sizes farther south. In the fall, the vessels came in to cut timber for their own repairs, or to take on a cargo of wood if the misfortunes of trading had left their holds low or empty. Most of these trademoots were at a certain place where there was a great natural deepwater harbor, protected from the sea by a rocky spur of land, an arm of an isolated coastal crag, or a rocky island beyond it. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK61.ITM] History of Waterdeep History of Waterdeep - Age I, The Rise of the Warlords: Over the years, the forest was cut back farther and farther from the shore, and tribes began to stay most of the year there, farming the cleared land. The wiser among them claimed and controlled some of the timber in order to trade for more weaponry and tools. Such claims angered many who found the squatters rich from frequent trade, and brought attacks from land and sea, the more warlike tribes slaughtering the more sedentary settlers. Noted among these tribes was that led by Nimoar, a chieftain who ordered his people to seize the farms, crude wooden docks, trading sheds, and storage barns built up around the bay. They settled there themselves, and erected a log palisade within an earthen embankment to protect the holdings. After several abortive pirate and tribal raids, Nimoar's people thrived in their new home, a fledgling town referred to as "the town of Water-deep." Farther north, orc tribes had outgrown their mountain strongholds. Attempts to expand underground met with fierce dwarven resistance (although many small gnomish colonies were overwhelmed and wiped out), and the orcs spread out on the surface of the land, coming south and down out of the mountains, hurling their seemingly endless numbers against all who stood in their path. Here and there elven enclaves held out, but the push southward displaced many other northern inhabitants, including the "everlasting ones" (trolls), who came down into the newly-cleared lands northeast of Nimoar's Hold, those lands now known as the Trollmoors. Nimoar died of old age during this time of increasing danger. Younger War Lords led the men of Waterdeep (for so the ship-captains called the harbor) in battles against the trolls. There were many bloody struggles between men and trolls for a decade, until the magic of a Northern youth named Ahghairon turned the fortunes of war against the trolls, and the "everlasting ones" were destroyed or scattered. Ahghairon rose slowly in skill and power with the passage of years, until he became a great mage. He discovered a supply of potions of longevity (or learned the art of making such), for he lived on, still physically a man in his prime, for decade upon decade. Fearing further attacks, the men of Waterdeep raised a small keep on the slopes of Mount Waterdeep above their farms, where fire arrows from on high could defend against attacking trolls. Many outlying tribes who had come to the settlement for safety from the trolls stayed, and expanded the walls with new farms several times. War Lords ruled the Free City of Waterdeep, holding it independent and increasingly wealthy as years passed.

Groups of liveried bodyguards appeared openly armed on the streets, accompanying their masters, and two very troubled months passed as they bickered and parleyed (and occasionally dueled in the streets). At last, they decided that all Masters should rule Waterdeep together, in a council. The lesser nobles and many townsfolk protested, saying that the Lords ruled by right and by the people's consent. The Guildmasters, however, said that the Lords had not been seen since Ahghairon's death, and that they must have been golems or zombies, controlled by Ahghairon to conceal his lone rule -- and indeed, the Lords were silent and unseen, and continued to be so. In truth, the Lords were real men and women whose identities had been compromised, over the years, by certain curious Guildmasters who had ordered them slain by their own closemouthed, loyal servants following Ahghairon's death. The only Lords still surviving (those who had remained secret) were Baeron, a woodworker, and Shilam, an apprentice wizard. These surviving Lords kept very quiet, and waited. The Guildmasters thought all the living Lords of the City had been eliminated, and took firm rule over Waterdeep. The Guildmasters ruled Waterdeep for only six years ere their self-interested squabbling led to bloodshed. Open quarrels and a few murders quickly erupted into a brief but vicious series of street fights and midnight attacks. This strife, ofttimes termed "the Guildwars" by sages (although it was never as long-drawn-out or so formal as to be called a "war" when it was taking place), left all but two Guildmasters dead, most of the City's best minds stilled, and much of the City's gold wasted or plundered with the Guilds in disarray. The surviving Guildmasters were Lhorar Gildeggh of the Shipwrights and Ehlemm Zoar of the Gemcutters. These two - ruthless manipulators both - were well-matched and could not overcome each other, though their private armies clashed often in the streets. At length, they sickened of bloodshed, after many from both families were dead in the gutters, and agreed to rule together. Two thrones were set up in Castle Waterdeep, and from then the two argued bitterly over this and that, and the City was a place of tension and fear. All matters, including the recognition of new Guildmasters to rule the "headless" guilds, had to come before the Two Lords Magister, as Lhorar and Ehlemm were called. Few matters were settled. Weight: 2 lb. --- [00BOOK63.ITM] History of Waterdeep History of Waterdeep - Age II, The Lords' Rule Begins: In his 112th winter, Ahghairon had a sharp disagreement with Raurlor, who was then Warlord of Waterdeep. Raurlor wanted to use Waterdeep's acquired wealth and strength-of-arms to create a Northern empire, with Waterdeep its capital (and Raurlor its ruler), and gathered armies for the purpose. Ahghairon defied him before all the people, and Raurlor ordered the mage to be chained. Ahghairon magically struck aside all who sought to lay hands on him. In a fury Raurlor struck at the mage with his own blade. Ahghairon rose into the air, just out of reach, and, as the infuriated Warlord slashed repeatedly at his rising feet, gestured. Raurlor's blade transmuted in his hand, from steel into a hissing serpent, which promptly bit him. The Warlord died of the venom before the shocked people assembled there. Ahghairon then gathered all the captains of Waterdeep's army, and all the seniors of the families of Waterdeep. While runners sought to bring them to the Castle, flames roared and crackled in the Warlord's empty chair-of-state at Ahghairon's bidding, so that no one sat there. Then at a gesture from the mage, the flames were gone as though they had never been, leaving the chair unmarked. Ahghairon seated himself, then, and proclaimed himself the first Lord of Waterdeep, saying that henceforth wisdom and not armed might would rule in the city. He would gather some few - in secret - to rule as Lords with him, masked and disguised when they appeared to the people, but equal to him in authority and free of coercion by any, himself included. These Lords were to be drawn from all walks of life in the city, and could serve as long as they wished. The people heard, and agreed, and for the next two hundred years, Ahghairon ruled Waterdeep with his unknown fellow Lords. Over the years, the masked Lords were a group of sometimes five, six, or seven, who appeared seldom and said little. Some whispered that they were Ahghairon's servants, or even magical automatons controlled by the Old Mage. Still, Ahghairon's justice was swift and fair, his laws good, his guardsmen polite and just as ready to help as apprehend, and the people approved. The years passed in peace and prosperity. The North was opened to humans. Roads built under Ahghairon's direction linked it together, from the ruins of "the Fallen Kingdom," which had been shattered by goblin races' attacks before men were numerous in the North, to the cities that would later become Amn. Waterdeep grew fivefold in size and wealth. From all over the Realms, folk began to come to the "Crown of the North," drawn by money - and among them came those who rob, cheat, and steal. When word of doings extending beyond simple theft to deception-in-workmanship and the appearance of many fly-by-night impostor craftsmen reached Ahghairon's ears, he called together the senior merchants, "the Noble Ones," and suggested that they form guilds as was done in the far South to police the unscrupulous of their own professions. Some resisted, or were furious, but most saw the advantages of such an arrangement, particularly if they were free to set matters up themselves, and not have less favorable arrangements forced upon them. The Guilds were created forthwith. Twice more the city walls were expanded, as Waterdeep continued to grow in size and prosperity. Its merchants traveled the world over, bringing back exotic goods from afar, and spreading word of the city's wealth to remote lands. In the South, some listened with an eye to conquest or at least plunder, but swords were already out in those southern lands in a time of widespread strife, and no invaders came. Ahghairon's health eventually failed and he died. He was buried with ceremony in his tower, which was secured against thieves and fools. Those who learned the arts arcane from the Old Mage cast the most potent protective magics known upon his home and resting-place (which, many believe, remains inviolate today).

Where they came from no one knew, but they appeared in the Castle's Great Hall where the Courts were, and commanded the Lords Magister to leave the city forthwith. Laughing, the Lords Magister refused, whereupon the shorter of the masked intruders (the lady Shilam, apprentice to Ahghairon and his undeclared heir as first Lord of the City) blasted them with lightning and fire, and their very thrones were shattered and toppled. The taller of the two intruders (Baeron) then called for the heads of the noble houses to come to them, or leave the city forthwith and forever, if they cared not to come by nightfall. All in the Courts heard, and the news was cried in the streets. The surviving nobles came, reluctantly and with bodyguards, expecting such a summons to be a trap. Baeron spoke to them and the crowd of curious townsfolk that had also come, saying, "this must not happen again." If Waterdeep was to be safe once more, he told them, all must support what he and his fellow Lord now planned, as they had supported Ahghairon in the past. The two would choose others to be Lords as before, he said, and they would rule in secret, as before - save for himself. He removed his mask, and said, "I am Baeron. I would be Lord as Ahghairon was before. I would be safe in this my city again." And the folk of Waterdeep there agreed. Shilarn, still masked, commanded that the houses of the Two Lords Magister be Outcast. There was protest, and she raised her hands that had blasted the thrones, and it was still again. And the house of Gildeggh and of Zoar were outcast. Peace returned to the city, and Waterdhavians to their labors. To inhibit discovery of who the Lords were, Baeron selected certain men of character whom he knew well, and appointed them Magisters ("Black Robes," they were soon called, from their robes of office) under the Lords, to judge and apply the laws of Waterdeep in daily affairs. These Magisters he paid well, to raise them from temptation, and gave lodgings to those who feared for safety to dwell among the people. To so serve, he told the city, was a burden, not a proud misuse of authority, and if any wished to no longer serve, or were found wanting, they were not to be vilified, but accorded respect. And over the Magisters the Lords sat in their Court, to correct and overrule the judgments of the Magisters. Baeron told the people that none were to decry or belittle any judgments of Magisters that the Lord saw fit to alter or cast aside. If any thought ill of the offices or those who held them they could turn back to the rule of sword and whim, and perish as had those before them. Before the Lord's Court Baeron encouraged people to speak freely for the length of a short candle's burning, without fear of chastisement or reproach from the Lords for anything said, as long as they spoke openly and answered questions or opposing views put to them by any there. Thus, he held, just grievances of folk would be heard, no matter how small the matter or lowly the speaker. And so it was. Slow to take hold, until people knew it for careful justice, but enduring beyond Baeron's time, and beyond Shilarn's time, and beyond the time of their daughter Lhestyn "The Masked Lady," who wed Zelphar Arunsun of Neverwinter, and was mother to Khelben "Blackstaff' Arunsun, a Lord of Waterdeep today, who knows the secrets of long years as Ahghairon did. And as the years have passed, Waterdeep has grown in size and variety, flourishing with good trade under the tolerance and protection of strong defenders and good government. The years passed not without troubles, varying from the Godswar (when Waterdeep played host to gods dying and ascending) to such occurrences as a green dragon assailing the Field of Triumph (part of a plot by the Knights of the Shield to overthrow the Lords' Rule), but the city and her peoples survived and prevailed against all strife. The Lords' Alliance provides continued safety for all the settlements of the northern Sword Coast and those inland, with Waterdeep as the heart of the alliance. Though it can be matched in size or commerce, there is no city the Realms over that compares to the sheer variety of life and experiences found in fair Waterdeep, Crown of the North.

Boyd ...as the lore goes, many great battles were fought between Corellon and Gruumsh. As Corellon's blood flowed, it mingled with the tears Sehanine shed. And in this mixture of blood and tears, Corellon's children, the Seldarine were born. Corellon embodies the highest values of that which is elvenkind. From the gentle aspects of art and poetry to the hasher aspects of war and magic, he is venerated by all the Fair Folk, except that of the drow. Vigilant over his creations, it is told that Corellon will wander the elven lands, observing his people and defending what is theirs.

"The Grand Raik is easily recognizable by its distinctive hooked jaw and the blue and white spots on its fins. Typically the size of a human adolescent, Grand Raiks are capable of putting up a great fight against the fishermen who seek them out. Unlike Lesser Raiks, Grand Raiks are very aggressive towards fellow fish in their territory, rarely stopping until they die or the intruders have fled.

The Gods of Fury stress everything that is selfish, physically abusive, and destructive. The Malarites care only for proving their temporal power through the senseless butchering of animals. The Aurilites seem to delight in causing death by freezing whenever possible, removing every shred of heat from their domains. Priests of Talos simply revel in destruction for its own sake and their own personal pleasure. Our brothers and sisters in the church of Umberlee cause havoc with the waves for the sole reason of terrifying travelers and fishermen into bowing before their childish god. As much as we Eldathyn might denounce the beliefs of these religions, there is an even greater question to be asked. What kind of afterlife can these self-serving priests expect to find in the domains of their self-serving gods?" Weight: 2 lb.

Upon hatching, hippogriffs are domesticated to be used as mounts. They are trained in what to eat, various combat routines involving aerial and ground attacks, and to respond to the commands of its rider. The riders are educated in the ways of grooming and caring for its mount, how to work effectively with his hippogriff, and also in the ways of aerial and ground combat.

Most botanists will attempt to tell you 'rules' about how one should care for their ivy. Unfortunately, these bumbling buffoons haven't spent enough time researching all of the different types of ivy to learn their subtle differences. Why, just the other day, some fool on the hill told me that Jangling Bell Ivy should be planted in relatively moist soil next to Blossoming Garters. As any ivy scholar worth his weight in dirt knows, Blossoming Garters require such a huge amount of water that one would drown the Jangling Bell just by tending to the Garters.

The lifegiver cooperates with Sehanine in overseeing the lifespan of elves and their growth away from and beyond the mortal realms. He measures the lives of the Fair Folk and decrees when they should be ended, allowing passage to Arvandor. As Lord of the Continuum, Labelas governs the orderly passage of time and guards against those who would alter the path of history. Labelas confers wisdom and teachings on young and old alike, and although he is rarely invoked, the Lifegiver is often praised. The Lifegiver knows the future and past of every elf, faerie, or sylvan creature. Labelas is worshiped by sages, historians, philosophers, librarians, and all those who measure the changes wrought by the passing of years.

The first monk scooped the beautiful lady up in his arms and carried her across the stream, promptly setting her down and continuing on his way. The second monk remained silent for several minutes as the woman disappeared from view. Finally he spoke to his brother. 'We shukenja are not supposed to have contact with women! Why did you pick that woman up so casually and carry her across the stream?' The first monk replied, 'Brother, I set the woman down long ago. Why is it that you have not?'" Weight: 2 lb.

"... we Eldathyn believe that the only real way to live honestly is to resist the temptation to strike out in anger when things are against us. Violence arises from suffering and, as a result, can do nothing but cause more suffering in its occurrence. Some of our critics point to the state of nature to invalidate our philosophy. Some believe that the existence of storms and tremors in nature proves that nature is inherently violent. There is a simple argument against this, however. Nature is a gift from the gods, but it functions as an independent system, a science, if you will. Nature is not inherently violent because disposition towards violence is a property only thinking beings possess. While there are violent acts in nature, nature is not inherently violent. Nature is simply nature... " Weight: 2 lb.

Many tragedies have occurred around these two items, and many are the deaths they caused although no arrow was ever shot from them. At the height of the dwarven-elvish alliance in the North, a disagreement arose between the two races over the matter of trading enchanted weapons to the men of the south, who were beginning to establish a foothold in the North. The dwarves were of the opinion that the many great works that had been built through the joint efforts of the dwarves and elves should be offered up to man and the profits used to fill the coffers of both races. This suggestion was not well-received by the elves nor by their leader, the arch-mage Larrel, and the matter was quickly dropped. However, when the Arc of Gold, one of the items fashioned jointly by dwarven and elven weaponsmiths was found in the hands of an orcish war party not long after the debate in the alliance councils, the elves accused the dwarves of selling the weapons to the goblinoids out of greed. The dwarves, insulted, broke the shafts of their hammers in the middle of the council and broke talks with the elves, returning to their halls in Dorn's Deep and never speaking to them again. The two races, now divided, were soon swallowed by the Dark Horde that was devouring the North beneath its banner. At the time of the fall of the Severed Hand, the Arc of Gold was mounted within the halls of Severed Hand as a reminder of the dwarven treachery and dwarven greed. When the Severed Hand fell, the Arc of Gold silently watched as the goblinoids tore apart the elvish defenders and laid waste to tower after tower, until the elvish archmage Larrel, in a desperate measure, brought about the Mythal cataclysm that sealed the fate of the Severed Hand once and for all. When the Mythal was cast, the Arc of Gold vanished from the halls of the Severed Hand and has not been seen since... until now. STATISTICS: Damage: +6 (missile) Attack Bonus: +6 Weight: 9 lb.

Echolia was an Aurilite ranger who plagued foragers near the Ice Lakes for over two years. A bane to nomads and merchants alike, Echolia's arrows felled many and drove off even more. A number of druids came north from the High Moor to deal with her, but they found her exceptionally difficult to dislodge from the region. The druids eventually killed the persistent ranger, but only at the cost of several druids' lives. Her bow was recovered and given to a Mielikkan ranger who died a decade later in the Marsh of Chelimber.

According to the tale, the bow takes its name from its pivotal role in the escape of a young woman named Sophia, a typical maiden fair who was pledged to marry the son of Duke Hugh Gladegrin (the son is described as hideously ugly and of foul temperament, of course). Sophia, however, believed she was destined to marry one of the Duke's archers, a dashing young golden-haired fellow who roamed the surrounding lands felling foul beasts with a single twang of his mighty bow. As the tale goes, one of the court wizards (a transmuter) took pity on the young woman's plight and cast a spell that turned her into an arrow for an hour's time. The transmuter arranged for Sophia to be fired from the castle wall to a ship waiting off the coast, where she could sail to freedom. The tale then breaks down from here, as numerous accounts claim that Sophia did not flee the coast safely, and that she transformed back into her normal body while she was halfway across the water, plunging into the icy ocean. Another school claims that, while in arrow form, Sophia pierced the side of the ship, then choked to death when she resumed her normal form with her neck embedded in the ship's hull. Still others claim that she was never even launched from the bow, and that she resumed her normal form while inside the archer's quiver, and she awoke, naked, wearing only the small band of leather about her body. When this last argument is made, the discussion generally deteriorates into a steady stream of sexual innuendos and the evening officially goes downhill. Whatever the tale, the bow has a range unmatched by many other bows in the realms, and the arrows launched from it strike far and true - unlike the story surrounding the bow.

One of their most well known warriors in human lands was the incredibly accurate archer Bariah Goldendown. Though the elves will neither confirm nor deny the legend, some human tales state that keen-eyed Bariah never missed a target in battle. His bow, crafted by his mother, was never given a name that was known outside of the family. The humans that suffered under its power called it "Sun-Reacher," believing that Bariah's arrows could reach into the heavens themselves. In a battle that many Evereskans are bitter about to this day, Bariah's griffon mount was killed in the sky by the spells of invisible wizards that ambushed an elven patrol. Though only one mage escaped with his life, he did manage to take Sun-Reacher with him. STATISTICS: Damage: +3 (missile) Attack Bonus: +3 Weight: 3 lb.

On the coastline of the Sea of Moving Ice, there dwelled Prashnak, an abjurer -- and a stubborn one at that. Apparently Prashnak was having a great deal of difficulty fending off a relentless scourge of trolls, who no doubt were interested in nothing more than his dug out, well stationed bower. Prashnak used storms of acid to keep the trolls at bay. However the young mage was tiring of the constant attacks, and the trolls were becoming bolder. After several months of studying the various effects of wilting magic, elemental summoning, and magical methods of frosting, Prashnak was finally ready to try his experiment. After summoning a water elemental, Prashnak evaporated choice bodily components and then froze the hapless creature. This lead to the creation of truly horrific sculptures of ice. The trolls, as simple as they are, took extreme offense to these totems and reportedly fled the area. The experiment a gleaming success, the exultant Prashnak continues his woeful studies to this day. What manner of thief took hold of the bracers is unknown, but they have been missing for several years.

But such mastery lies in staying focused upon your enemy even in the heat of battle... and these simple leather armbands are intended to do just that. Initially used to help in the training of students at the Kamjin-Doh, these Bands of Focus radiate a soft moonlight glow when the light of dusk falls upon them. While worn, they exert a slight calming influence on the mind of the sword saint that wields them, heightening the warrior's perceptions and senses, and allowing them to read the movements of their opponents easier. On the rare occasion when an enemy strikes a sword saint, these bands allow the wielder to shrug off pain (which in the teachings of Kamjin-Doh are called, "distractions") and keep the pain where it belongs - on one's opponent. Many of these bands were scattered throughout Faerun in the wake of the destruction of the Kamjin-Doh at the hands of the Master of Razors. It is rumored that the Master of Razors possessed a set of these bands as well, but their location remains a mystery. STATISTICS: Special Damage reduction 5/+1 Weight: 1 lb.

Believed to have had contact with Arrakon, the would-be conqueror of Icewind Dale's barbarians, Arkamadis was only slightly less dedicated to dominating the native people that surrounded his tower, Whitestone Talon. Arkamadis wore a pair of bracers during most of his time in the north. Regardless of the disguises he used, he always kept the bracers as an identifying feature. The bracers were made of thick, polished bronze. Though not elaborate, the top of each bracer featured a lion rampant in relief, roaring towards his hands. Arkamadis lost his bracers when dwarves from Citadel Adbar crushed his growing empire and demolished Whitestone Talon with siege engines.

He kept company with thugs, brigands, murderers, and criminals of all sorts, men and women who valued strong actions over a silver tongue. Rakavik was a clever man, and devised these bracers knowing that most people assume bracers are for protection. When opponents thought Rakavik was out of spells, he never needed to pull out a wand or staff to make a quick offensive action. He simply made a non-threatening gesture with his arms and activated these polished steel bracers. Despite being over two hundred years old, the large sections of black enamel on the bracers are still dark and shining. Rakavik died in 1012 DR when he and his fellows botched an attempted burglary in Suzail. The bracers have passed through many hands since that time.

Unfortunately, Tamjan was called upon repeatedly to assist his father in the expansion of their family bakery. To establish a reputation among the cities of the north, Tamjan would magically preserve the freshness of his father's baked goods as he whisked them away to important events from Luskan to Silverymoon. Tamjan hated assisting his father. It made him the butt of jokes in wizardly circles across the north. Tamjan eventually decided to hire a group of bandits to attack him and his father as they traveled to Luskan. The young mage believed that the attack would scare his father into giving up his outlandish plan to establish bakeries across the north. The bandits became overzealous in the execution of their role. Weeks later, all the Neverwinter scouts found were Tamjan's magical bracers lying in a puddle of slush. The bracers are made of fine pinewood and leather with steel reinforcements. They feature very little ornamentation, the graceful curve of the steel being the notable exception.

The bracers known as Thunder Clap are a prized possession of the monks that own them. Being that monks rarely use weapons other than their own hands and feet, these bracers offer an edge in battle that is rarely seen in the Realms. These bracers allow the skilled monk to increase the speed of their attacks. The added speed dished out by these bracers have, on several occasions, evened the odds against would be bandits that try to outnumber their monk victims.

Arioth had lived in a small community near the edge of Anauroch, the great desert. When a mysterious force emerged from the sands to destroy the village, Arioth's wife was killed. Through circumstance, Arioth became a wandering mercenary. Over time, Arioth became a great hero and champion for the innocents of Cormyr and the Dalelands, though he shied away from such praise. His worn, heavy crossbow was named after his dead wife, Geloise. When Arioth died of old age, his wishes were that his equipment be sold off at an auction in Essembra, Battledale, and the proceeds given to the citizens of that village.

There was apparently no love lost between the couple, and their arguments on everything from maintaining the home to maintaining the accounts were legendary within the clan halls. Shortly after Hagnen was crushed to death in the great quake of 1275 DR, Hagnen's wife proceeded to lay her husband's name (and backlog of uncompleted work) to rest by finishing the last of a series of enchanted weapons that still lay in Hagnen's workshop, cursing each one with Hagnen's name. After finishing the last of his weapons, Miraenna apparently left the dwarven clan home and traveled southwards, gladly ridding herself of the Odestone name and creations. Among Hagnen's other creations is a light crossbow that also bears his name - it has been sighted within the North on many occasions. STATISTICS: Damage: +3 (missile) Attack Bonus: +3 Weight: 10 lb.

In fact, an assassin is best if his weapon of choice, such as a crossbow, is used at the longest possible range with deadly accuracy. However, even the best of assassins need all the help they can get when it comes to long-range attacks. That is why the Iron Arbalest, and crossbows like it, are usually the best choice for would be assassins. The Iron Arbalest has been enchanted to enhance the assassin's crossbow skill and actually improve their chance to hit their mark. In skilled hands, the Iron Arbalest could drop a mark long before they could ever reach the assassin and exact revenge. STATISTICS: Damage: +6 (missile) Attack Bonus: +6 Weight: 14 lb.

On the rare occasions that groups of dwarves appear on the tundra, they are typically gathered for battle. The leader of the Warcrest clan always kept a keen-eyed warrior armed with Mailripper by his side. The warrior's instructions were simple: shoot the most heavily armored opponent you see approaching the king. When the Warcrest clan was wiped out in a woeful conflict with barbarians, some warriors from Bryn Shander used it for idle target practice before they died en route to Redwaters.

Iron Mary was easily spotted among her dark-haired mercenary company. Not deigning to wear a helmet, she knew her long blonde hair was visible from across a battlefield. Mary was often hired to track down groups of criminals in lawless lands and put an end to their activities. After five years, troublemakers throughout the Moonsea and Inner Sea knew that if Iron Mary was on their heels, they had angered someone of considerable importance. Instead of putting up a proper fight, many outlaws would attempt to surrender. Iron Mary never accepted surrender, so her reply was always a crossbow bolt shot into the forehead of the fool who dared to try talking his or her way out of impending doom.

Makavail was a scheming, lying, manipulative cheat who operated near the city of Westgate on the Lake of Dragons. Among the many enemies he made was a soldier from Teziir named Ricarl of the Mark. Ricarl wanted to get Makavail in trouble without letting his target know it was he who was responsible. When Makavail was exiting Westgate with chests full of stolen goods, Ricarl shot the leg of one of the horses pulling Makavail's wagon. The horse bolted and overturned the wagon. Guards rushed to the scene and discovered what Makavail was up to. He was thrown in prison and died only a year later. He never knew who had fired the fateful bolt that caused his downfall.

Random Drop: HoF, Nrm --- [00CHAN06.ITM] Baleful Mail This armor was crafted in 1221 DR by a duergar smith working for a vengeful priest of Bane named Alerri of West Waterdeep. During Alerri's early days in the priesthood, he frequently provoked and attacked agents of Sune. Unfortunately for Alerri, Lady Firehair's followers employed charm magic to cease the Banite's antics. Once he had been charmed, Alerri was commanded to perform all sorts of embarrassing actions in the streets of Waterdeep. After many years, Alerri decided to honor his god of hate by creating a suit of armor that would protect him from charm magic. He communed with the spiritual minions of Bane to discover the materials and rituals necessary for the suit's creation. Following his master's instructions, he murdered thirteen married couples and had their wedding rings woven into the hem of the mail. He then killed thirteen elves and bathed in their blood, uttering prayers for thirteen hours. When he was finished, his armor protected him from the magic of the Sunites and filled him with irrepressible hate. Alerri went on a crusade against the agents of Sune, Llira, and Hanali Celanil for three years. His killing spree ended when elven archers and priests of Corellon Larethian laid a trap for him on a road going north from Waterdeep.

This armor was worn by a mercenary company called the Silver Band who was driven from the north after a heated debate at the Ten-Towns council (a debate that barred further mercenary service from most of the Ten-Towns for a period not exceeding three seasons). According to the debate, the mercenaries were not seen as effective combatants, and certainly not worth the gold they were paid for their meager weapon skills. In order to pay for their passage back south, the Silver Band was forced to sell several suits of their armor in order to transport their mounts and siege engines, and the Band swore they would never return to the North, even if the region perished under an avalanche of goblins and other freakish monsters. Apparently, their ability to predict the future was not listed in their company annals. This armor is valued in the far north due to its ability to protect the wielder from the elements as well as being light enough to allow for greater freedom of movement.

His gnomish friend, Chester Spindle, created this muted green and brown cloak in exchange for a case of wine stolen from a temple of Ilmater.

It is out of one such simple life that the legend of Behem Farmer of Mistledale emerged. However, the circumstances surrounding his legend are far from typical. While tending his farm near Sword Creek, bandit riders from the east rode forth and told him to surrender his land. Behem was overcome with grief and could not answer them. The leader of the bandits told Behem that he had until dawn of the next morning to vacate the land. The bandits then rode towards other farms and told them the same thing. At dusk, as the farmers cleared out their homes and prepared to fall back to defensible ground, some of the families saw the silhouette of Behem standing in his field, leaning upon his hoe, his head hung low. In the evening, three farmers approached Behem's field and saw the farmer asleep in his field. More shocking was the apparition of a woman, believed to be the spirit of Chauntea, wrapping Behem's loose cloak around him. The farmers returned to their families and told everyone what they had witnessed. Bolstered by the belief that Chauntea had blessed Behem for staying on his farm, the farmers gathered up their families and marched back to their farms. Unfortunately, their bravery had returned a few moments too late. Behem had just been killed by the bandits for refusing to leave. Before the eyes of the farmers, thick vines erupted from the field the bandits stood upon. The vegetation not only held the bandits firmly in place, but also thrashed and choked them into unconsciousness. The farmers rushed forward and drove off the bandits who remained. Though Behem's body disappeared with the vines, his bloodstained, tattered cloak remained behind. STATISTICS: Deflection Bonus: +3 Weight: 3 lb.

Although with proper training wizards may overcome these restrictions, wizards will normally choose to enchant their robes or a ring to have deflective properties so as to remain unfettered by bulky armor. But if by chance a talented fighter, or a skilled bowman connected with their weapon, the wizard would not have the fortitude to last long. Clerics of Mystra, seeing this dilemma that fell upon the wizards of the land, made cloaks blessed by Mystra herself. These cloaks granted the wizard special damage resistances where most, if not all, the damage that was dealt out from a weapon would be negated. Needless to say that wizards who acquired the cloaks, which eventually were called Mystra's Blessing, felt even more powerful, if not invulnerable.

They are devoted to fighting those who defile nature, and these cloaks were sometimes worn by members of their sect when embarking on their crusades against those who had inflicted grievous wounds upon the land. It is reported that several of these cloaks were worn by druids who followed the trail of the Dark Horde many long years ago during their attack on the elven fortress of the Severed Hand. The Horde had felled many trees and laid waste to vast sections of the North while building siege engines, and the avengers declared war on them, attempting to use turn the power of nature against its attackers. Although the avengers were eventually slain by an orcish clan along the Spine of the World, their cloaks remain and occasionally resurface across the North. When worn by a druid, these cloaks have a chance of cursing any enemy who dares to commit violence upon the wearer.

As a joke, several of his students inscribed many of his theorems and oft-quoted passages on a string of darts and presented it to the aged instructor on the day of his retirement. This proved to be a gift of questionable wisdom, as Adron was quick to anger, and he promptly began to fling the darts at his students - only to find that the theorems had given the darts a sage-like accuracy when making their points. Fortunately for the students, they were as good at dodging darts as they were in dodging their studies, so except for a few pairs of soiled robes, there was little damage done. Adron's darts were encased in a special case at the school, only to be stolen as a university prank many years later. Since then, the darts have been sighted throughout the realms, carrying Adron's theorems and quotes wherever they go.

He spent most of his life in quiet study, living with his mother, trying to learn the art of crafting magical items. For his first attempt, Delnar decided to create a dart that would be a mage's best friend. The weapon would unerringly strike a target, dispel any magical protection, and then return to its user. Unfortunately, just as he was placing the final enchantments on the item, Delnar's mother entered into the room, saw the dart, and said "Careful, ye'll put an eye out with that."

Presio was well known in certain circles throughout the north, though her presence often went unnoticed by those who would dread it. Around 1280, Presio became involved in a strange demonic plot in the Spine of the World mountains. Only a few of her fellows followed her on her journey. Though she and her allies were slain in the volcano of Dragon's Eye, the many recipes and formulae for her potions and magical weapons survived.

During a battle in the northern wastes which became known as Hallowed Pass, Wychgar lost his three brothers to the orc army led by Kraag the Mighty. Wychgar was distraught and during the night he wandered the battlefield looking for their bodies to take away for proper burial. He stumbled across them and was visited by the brothers' spirits who were trapped between the land of the living and the land of the dead. Unable to help them leave he had their souls stored in the flail with the help of a shaman. The three heads of the flail are his brother's skulls, which are attached to the shaft by silver chains.

Some say he was human, others demi-human, and still others claim he was of demonic origin. No one knows for sure. The only surviving clue to his identity can be found in his flail. Veranon's Flail is a vile looking weapon. The haft is crafted from jet black onyx with a pulsating red core. Fiery runes writhe along the length of the haft, almost as if they have a mind of their own. The haft is capped with a pommel stone, a blood red garnet. The weapon sports two heads, each the visage of an unknown but demonic looking creature. The eyes of the heads glow red and a sulpherous odor seems to emanate from the mouths. The heads appear to be crafted from lumps of coal, and yet are as hard as steel. The weapon can only be wielded by those of evil alignment. In the hands of such an individual, Veranon's Flail has been known to immolate its intended target. Otherwise it acts as any other flail.

First by her lord father, who married her to Duke Sorim for political gain despite knowing that he would relentlessly torment young Roa. Second by her abusive husband the duke, who planted assassins amongst her handmaidens... when Roa visited her dearest brother Remin - a powerful baron - the assassins murdered him as he slept and so his lands passed to the duke. The third and final betrayal was at the hands of her sister Rana, who longed to take the duke, his riches, and eventually the royal crown for her own. Rana entwined herself in a plot with Duke Sorim to slay the king, discredit the true heir as his bastard child with Roa, and thereby steal the throne. Roa, still less than sixteen summers old, was bound with a ball and chain and cast into the duke's infamous dungeons to await the completion of her husband and sister's terrible scheme. She sobbed and moaned day and night, her voice echoing through the keep's halls. The duke soon grew incensed at her constant wailing and sent one of his Ducal Guard to beat little Roa into silence. When the man arrived at the cell, he struck her across the face, shoved her to the ground and made to kick at her belly - but quick as that, Roa sprung up and strangled the man with her chains. Moments later the willowy young girl burst into the duke's court and attacked him savagely. His guards pelted her with bolts from their crossbows, but onwards she charged. When she reached the Ducal Throne she tossed Sorim's champion aside like a broken doll, swinging the iron ball of her shackles with such strength that it stove in the shocked duke's thrice-enchanted breastplate of meteoric iron, driving shards of shattered ribs into his lungs and heart and killing him instantly. No one is clear as to how the tale ends - some say that Roa then expired on the spot, her chest and back bristling with bolts, while others describe how her sister Rana leapt up and killed her with a dagger... a few optimistic souls even claim that Roa lived and spent the rest of her days in peaceful bliss. Whatever the case, her shackles remain as a testament to her story. The chains of Roa's shackles have been looped and wound together in such a way that one can wield them as a flail. Crudely etched into the soft iron of the ball are the words "In Righteousness Lies My Strength."

Its creation was the result of a blunder made during the commission of an enchanted item for Lodur the Brave (alternately known as Lodur Iron-Bollocks, Lodur the Foolhardy, and Lodur the Dullard), a powerful but none-to-bright cleric. Lodur had of heard rumors of a mighty long-hafted hammer, possibly wielded by a hero known as Lucerne, or perhaps that's where it was made, which may or may not have had to do with a land or king or deity called Swizaria, or Switzlund, or "something of that nature, I am most certain." "Oh," he had then added, "and pray thee bless it as well... thou dost know, that one where it explodes undead and what-not, so that I might smite things most explosively." Lodur's fierce demeanor, violent reputation, and sacks of gold begged quiet compliance, and so the dwarven arms-master simply nodded and sent the cleric on his way, promising the weapon in two months' time. The arm-master consulted with his clan's lore-master and sure enough, there *was* word of such a weapon: it came from a trader in Sigil by way of an exceptionally well-traveled plane-walker. The arms-master dutifully copied the weapon's function and form, working runes of power into its haft and head just as Lodur had asked for. When Lodur the Brave returned to the dwarven stronghold to pick up his new hammer, he found instead a spiked pole-arm whose use was forbidden by his religion. The cleric ranted and gnashed his teeth and swore up and down the halls of the clan before stomping off in disgust, leaving his payment and the somewhat inappropriately named "Lucerne Hammer" behind.

Actually no one really knows if Airon is a gnome or not because no one has actually seen him. Apparently overnight he had taken over an abandoned shop at the edge of small town. One day the shop was vacant and then the next it was boarded up tight with signs in every language telling passersby to go away. Infuriated, the previous owner demanded he leave, but quickly relinquished his claim to the shop when a large sack of gold appeared at his feet. The very next day, mysterious notes began to appear all over town. They all contained the same message and read as follows: ************************************** Bring potatoes. Will pay in gold. -Airon Broun ************************************** Intrigued, a few townspeople decided to take him up on his offer and delivered sacks of potatoes to the shop. They would shove the potatoes into a delivery chute located in the back of the shop and then soon after a small sack of gold would appear, usually five times the going rate of the potatoes. The better the quality of the potatoes the more gold would appear. News soon spread of this wonderful offer and it was not long until every potato in town was sold to the curious gnome. No matter how many potatoes one delivered, there always appeared a sack of gold for payment. Needless to say, every farm for miles around started growing potatoes. Each farmer would try to outdo the other by producing the biggest and tastiest potatoes. This continued on for years until finally, the quality of potatoes was so good that instead of gold appearing, magic items of all sorts would appear. Not realizing the magical nature of the items given, the farmers sold them to passing merchants in disgust and stopped farming potatoes altogether. This hammer is one such item. By inserting special enchanted plates into the head of the hammer, the user is able to modify the abilities of the hammer. This particular hammer comes with plates that will do extra acid, cold, or fire damage.

It was left in Icewind Dale by a nameless, wandering mercenary who'd grown tired of hearing that his kind wasn't wanted there. Seemingly loathed by all and lonely as one can be, the mercenary was said to have suddenly stood up from his seat in a Targos tavern, heaved a forlorn sigh, and wandered off, the nondescript sack seemingly abandoned beneath his chair. Its magical properties may well have remained forever undiscovered but for a single rat that crept inside to nibble on some iron rations. The rat was soon followed by a curious, snuffling cat, which was in turn followed by three of the proprietor's barking hounds. The proprietor up-ended the apparently lifeless sack and, much to the tavern patrons' amazement, the lot of them came tumbling out in a noisy bundle of fur and gnashing teeth. When the tavern was eventually destroyed in an out-of-control cooking-oil fire, the Mercenary's Sack was sold to a passing merchant to refinance its reconstruction.

His undead warriors and animals were dreadful to behold on their rocky perches. It took the concerted effort of over a hundred invaders to defeat the lich. Once the terror had been dispatched, some arcanists-turned-wizards decided to use the magic-laced skeletal hands in the construction of a helm. Some historians mutter in the margins of their writings that the wizards may have been attempting to construct an item similar to the ill-fated Crown of Horns.

He was the captain of the pirate warship, The Bouncing Rhonda; a twenty gun cutter that was considered one of the fastest vessels on the high seas. Those unfortunate merchant ships that crossed paths with The Bouncing Rhonda were never able to outrun the cutter, were summarily boarded and their merchandise stolen. Now, the fact that Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard and his hearty men of The Bouncing Rhonda successfully pirated ships was not so unusual. No, the unusual part was that after the men of The Bouncing Rhonda successfully seized a merchant vessel, Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard would come gallantly swinging, via rope, down from the ship's mast and land elegantly upon the deck of the merchant ship. At almost the same time Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard's feet touched the merchant ship's deck, the captured crew took an instant liking to the pirate captain. In fact, it was not uncommon for a majority of the captured crews to beg for a commission on The Bouncing Rhonda. However, the instant the pirate captain and his crew left the merchant ship (along with its cargo), the remaining merchant ship's crew immediately resumed their hatred for the pirate captain. No one knew why or how Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard managed to charm his victims so well. That is, not until one day, while the good pirate captain was making one of his famous entrances via rope and mast, his colorful bandana flew off his near balding head. The second his foot touched the deck, all the former merchant crews that went along with the pirate ship instantly came to their senses and summarily beat the pirate captain to death. It did not take long for those around to realize that the pirate captain's bandana held magical properties that made him seem more charming. Unfortunately for the remaining pirate and merchant crew, the bandana flew into the sea. However, rumors would pop up from time to time that a particularly dashing swashbuckler had the uncanny ability to charm his way out of trouble and liked to swing from mast ropes - and that he wore a very colorful bandana.

He created magical items that literally saturated the gamut of possible situations that could arise from his high adventures. These magical items would have been the envy of all adventurers, had Belib been successful in leaving his domicile with his equipment. After many years of creating his incredible inventory of enchanted do-dads, Belib finally gathered his wares into an immense backpack (naturally, it was enchanted to carry far more than what would normally fit into a gnome's pack) and set out to quest for the grandest quests. Unfortunately for Belib, one of his tiny feet tripped over his home's threshold and he was summarily crushed under the enormous weight of his pack. The backpack burst open and scattered his enchanted wares all across his front yard. One would like to think that passing sentient beings would stop and help the crushed gnome, but the most that passersby did was loot Belib's goods. One of Belib's more popular goodies, especially with the vermin that make stealing and looting a career, was Belib's Multiple Tool of Fortune. Disguised as an ornate amulet, this tool would help make even the most inept rogue a master of lock picking and trap disarming. As is usually the case with items that aid in the thieving arts, Belib's Multiple Tool has found its way into many greased palms over the years.

When Atalacyls the Lost eventually crossed the boundaries of the Anauroch desert, Theon gathered the druids to him and engaged him in battle on the sands. Despite the powers of their stones, Atalacyls defeated them to a man and turned their bodies to sand, then made a small pile of their druid stones as a warning to others not to follow him on his path. He continued his journey westwards until he was found by Old Duke Kholsa Ehld, and the two of them met in battle over Atalacyls' crimes against the Weeping Queen. While worn, this stone allows the druid to ask favors of the earth and stones beneath their feet. In times of danger, the stone can summon the strength of the earth to their aid, causing rocky stalactites to erupt from the earth, the area to blossom with spikes, or the wearer's skin to become as hard as stone and giving them some protection against attacks.

These simple medallions carry a minor blessing that allows a soldier to achieve a measure of peace even in the middle of combat, allowing him to steady himself to face the trials ahead. These medallions are highly prized by soldiers that deal with the Uthgardt, especially when trading turns sour, and it seems blood is about to be shed. This medallion, however, predates them all, carrying additional enchantments that allow a warrior to keep not only his wits, but his will, when fighting barbarians, goblins, or worse, creatures of the North that attempt to break a man's will.

As luck would have it, the charm did not fall into the hands of the dwarves, but bounced away into an underground river. It was discovered decades later by a goblin hunter who wore it for the rest of his days. The nameless goblin is believed to have died somewhere in the Spine of the World mountains.

Many times the warriors of these clans mimic the movements of the large, white cats during fierce combat. In addition, the barbarian shamans would sometimes create spells that would temporarily imbue the warriors with the dexterity of the snow leopards. However, since these spells were temporary, often times the spell would wear off at inopportune times. It is said, however, that a group of barbarian shamans once congregated deep within the Dales to find a way to better harness the swift agility of the snow leopard. For nearly a year the shamans remained out of sight from their home clans, busily focusing their attentions towards the magic of the snow leopard. Then one day, the shamans returned to their respective clans, each holding a small necklace made of silver, with a pendant that resembled a snow leopard's paw. The shamans gave this pendant to their strongest warriors of each clan. Once placed around the neck of the warrior, the dexterity of the snow leopard filled their powerful bodies, as well as immunity to the cold that surrounded the Dales. From then on, the Heart of the Snow Leopard Charm, as it became known, would become one of the most prized artifacts within barbarian clans. Only the mightiest warriors wore the amulet, and it became the goal of all young warriors to one day be adorned with the Heart of the Snow Leopard Charm.

The double bearded blade is crafted of the finest steel with a mithril edge. The shaft is hollowed oak with a reinforced steel center. Along the shaft are a series of glowing dwarven runes cast in gold. The weapon is light, fast, and deadly. The weapon was also crafted with two special enchantments. On a successful hit, there is a chance that Cowards Flight will cast a fear and a slow spell upon the target, causing them to turn their back and slowly flee. This allows devastating attacks from an opponent's rear, thus the weapons name. Cowards Flight was crafted by the dwarven smith Braegar of Dorn's Deep.

Carried to the final battle of the Hand of Seldarine by the hulking orc warlord Yellow-Toothed Grubrun Foul-Tusks, Big Black Flying-Death had its origins in an ogre mercenary's two-handed battle-axe. After a particular vicious raid on a dwarven mining settlement, Grubrun spied the axe lodged in the skull of a dead dwarven marshal. It seems that an ogre mercenary had impaled himself upon the marshal's spear in a careless charge, but his last act had been to nearly cleave his killer's head in twain and, in trying to wrench the axe free for a second blow, shattering the haft before expiring in a bloody heap. Prying the huge, black cold-iron blade from the base of the dwarf's skull, Grubrun returned to his fortress at Nab-Nurog and had his shaman set to enchanting it. Not having considered fixing the shaft and finding it too heavy and awkward to use in melee, Grubrun deigned to use the weapon as a throwing axe and demanded that it be ensorcelled to return to his hands after being hurled. The warlord found great delight in heaving the enormous weapon about, roaring with glee as Big Black Flying-Death came careening back to him, gleaming and gore-spattered, after lopping some poor enemy in two at the waist. Grubrun Foul-Tusks finally met his end at the final battle of the Hand where he threw Big Black Flying-Death at the elven weapon master Kaylessa; she deftly sidestepped the flying weapon, darted forward, and ran her own blade through the empty-handed orc's belly. Kaylessa was said to have then coolly ducked as Grubrun's own axe came whirling back at him and cleanly severed his head, rotten yellow tusks and all. Big Black Flying-Death is an especially large axe - almost ridiculously so - and is only identifiable as a throwing weapon because its short haft and the manner in which it's weighted. In fact, the axe is so massive that it cannot be thrown with a single hand, requiring the wielder to grip it with both hands and hurl it sidelong with the strength of their entire body.

It is said that he spent his entire life studying various blacksmithing techniques in preparation for creating this axe. Thirty days and thirty nights, Magmar secluded himself in his shop with only the steady ringing of his hammer and the deafening roar of the furnace as company. On the thirtieth night Magmar completed Stormshifter whereupon he promptly fell over dead. Now it is rumored that although the utmost respect was offered by his fellow smiths during his funeral, titters of laughter could be heard behind muffled, closely held conversations. It seems that Magmar's final work was not the great work everyone was expecting, in fact it was rather plain and hardly worthy of a Dwarven forged weapon let alone one forged by a master smith. For many years this long forgotten weapon hung upon the walls of Clan Ironsmelt, until one fateful day a horde of goblins invaded. In the final moments of the battle, a lone injured dwarf grabbed Stormshifter in desperation from its purchase and flung it at the approaching horde. To his surprise, Stormshifter transformed into a ball of pure energy and surged thru the throngs of goblins with deadly accuracy. As fast as he could throw the axe it would return, leaving smoldering corpses wherever it traveled. By any rights this should have been a tale of legend, but with any legend there has to be survivors to tell the tale. Unfortunately, Clan Ironsmelt died that day along with that unnamed dwarf.

Screamer appears to be a normal throwing axe. However, once it is released from the hand it actually emits a high piercing "scream" as it travels towards its target. Upon a successful hit, the target will take additional sonic damage. "Screaming Axe" is not a subtle weapon and should never be considered for any kind of stealthy endeavors. The one benefit of "Screaming Axe" is that it confers immunity to silence spells upon its wielder.

Unfortunately the axe fell into the hands of the drow after an unsuccessful skirmish near the underdark.

Though not quite malicious, he had little regard for human life. When his adventuring band, Winnowing Drake Company, asked him to fell an opponent, he did so without question. In addition to his wiry brawn and even temper, Donald was known for his fastidious care of his weapons and armor. He kept his great axe keen and shining at all times. When he waded into battle, crimson blood flew out in all directions from the gleaming blade. Donald's halfling friend, Tim Rootfield, commented that the axe was so sharp that it would make widows out of half the wives in Faerun. Black Donald smiled at the halfling and said that his blade was sharp enough to cut through the husband and back to village to get the wife on the follow-through.

Many tragedies have occurred around these two items, and many are the deaths they caused although no arrow was ever shot from them. The Mithral Arc was developed at the height of the dwarven-elvish alliance, and it was one of the many joint items developed by the dwarves and elves of the Severed Hand before the destruction of the Severed Hand and the Fall of Dorn's Deep. Its accuracy was unparalleled, and the dwarves presented it to the elves as a token of goodwill between the races. The string of the bow was said to have been blessed by the elvish archmage Larrel himself, with a range that seemed to rival the horizon. It was mounted in the halls of Severed Hand so that all visitors could see it, and see the achievements the dwarves and elves united could bring about. When its brother, the Arc of Gold, was discovered in the hands of a band of orcs raiding in the forests north of Severed Hand, the elves became furious and accused the dwarves of selling the relics the two races had jointly crafted to their enemies. The dwarves, enraged by the insult, seized the Mithral Arc and returned to Dorn's Deep, cutting off all contact with the elves. It is said that at the moment the alliance disbanded, the string of the Mithral Arc broke with a final twang, and the bow, useless, remained deep within Lower Dorn's Deep, silently watching as the dwarves were slowly driven deeper and deeper into the Deep by the encroaching goblinoid hordes that had begun to swarm down from the North. It was never seen and never taken by the Dark Horde that marched through Dorn's Deep, and the Mithral Arc remained there for countless years in the darkness with the dwarven dead piled around it, still clutching their weapons. How it came to be here is unknown, but the string of the Mithral Arc is restored and the bow is eager to be used. Perhaps there is hope for the fallen elves and dwarves still... or at least the opportunity to reclaim their once-proud homeland from the goblin hordes that threaten it.

The identities of those who defeated him are not known, but the rumors in Kara Tur were that his slayers were the spirits of three sword saints of Kamjin-Doh, returned from death to end the crimes of the renegade kensai. It was discovered that these once-simple bands of focus that the Master of Razors had worn as a student had become stained with blood and shame, and no longer shone with the same light as it once had. As the Master lost focus, his bands of focus corroded, almost to rot away as they were wrapped upon his bleeding arms. Nonetheless, these tattered bands still hold the power, strength, and viciousness of the Master of Razors... making the one who wields them far more deadly. If you wear these bands, never forget their purpose, never forget your focus, and never forget the reach of your enemy. Keep these three things in your heart, and they will serve you well in battle.

Believed to have had contact with Arrakon, the would-be conqueror of Icewind Dale's barbarians, Arkamadis was only slightly less dedicated to dominating the native people that surrounded his tower, Whitestone Talon. Arkamadis wore a pair of bracers during most of his time in the north. Regardless of the disguises he used, he always kept the bracers as an identifying feature. The bracers were made of thick, polished bronze. Though not elaborate, the top of each bracer featured a lion rampant in relief, roaring towards his hands. Arkamadis lost his bracers when dwarves from Citadel Adbar crushed his growing empire and demolished Whitestone Talon with siege engines.

He kept company with thugs, brigands, murderers, and criminals of all sorts, men and women who valued strong actions over a silver tongue. Rakavik was a clever man, and devised these bracers knowing that most people assume bracers are for protection. When opponents thought Rakavik was out of spells, he never needed to pull out a wand or staff to make a quick offensive action. He simply made a non-threatening gesture with his arms and activated these polished steel bracers. Despite being over two hundred years old, the large sections of black enamel on the bracers are still dark and shining. Rakavik died in 1012 DR when he and his fellows botched an attempted burglary in Suzail. The bracers have passed through many hands since that time.

Unfortunately, Tamjan was called upon repeatedly to assist his father in the expansion of their family bakery. To establish a reputation among the cities of the north, Tamjan would magically preserve the freshness of his father's baked goods as he whisked them away to important events from Luskan to Silverymoon. Tamjan hated assisting his father. It made him the butt of jokes in wizardly circles across the north. Tamjan eventually decided to hire a group of bandits to attack him and his father as they traveled to Luskan. The young mage believed that the attack would scare his father into giving up his outlandish plan to establish bakeries across the north. The bandits became overzealous in the execution of their role. Weeks later, all the Neverwinter scouts found were Tamjan's magical bracers lying in a puddle of slush. The bracers are made of fine pinewood and leather with steel reinforcements. They feature very little ornamentation, the graceful curve of the steel being the notable exception.

The bracers known as Force of Lightning are a prized possession of the monks that own them. Being that monks rarely use weapons other than their own hands and feet, these bracers offer an edge in battle that is rarely seen in the Realms. These bracers allow the skilled monk to increase the speed of their attacks.

Priests of Arvoreen the Defender blessed the cittern with its impressive power. Relias never intended to play his magnificent creation. He eventually sold the ruddy instrument to a bard named Gallow Deely. Gallow was a lanky, slender man often found in the company of adventurers. Though ill-suited for battle, Gallow was exceptionally gifted at putting tales of heroism to music. With the aid of the cittern, he helped the Company of Frozen Trees defeat a young green dragon in 1013 DR. His song, commemorating the occasion, was a rollicking tune called "The Fight of Green Thirteen." It is played in central and western taverns to this day.

Sephica was a bard, but she did not worship the lord of songs, Milil. Instead, she devoted herself to performing ballads to the suffering throngs of Ilmaterians everywhere. She was traveling with a group of Ilmaterian pilgrims when they were attacked by bandits. The bandits killed and severely injured many of the pilgrims, and they cut the strings of Sephica's harp when she tried to soothe the injured travelers. After the bandits had left, Sephica prayed to Ilmater for help in a time of crisis. When she plucked at her harp strings with her eyes closed in prayer, music miraculously poured forth and healed every person who heard it. The next day, the bandits arrived and killed Sephica for healing the pilgrims. Though she was killed, the pilgrims kept the memory of her miracle alive. Their community attempted to have her accepted as an Ilmaterian saint. They succeeded in 1218 DR. STATISTICS: This harp can cast Heal or Resurrection 1/Day.

If it wasn't for his famous lute, no one would have remembered him at all. Born in Sembia and raised in a musical family, Pellon Kay never took his performances seriously. Kay made dozens of enemies everywhere he went because of his acidic wit and appetite for confrontation. Sages believe that Milil frowned upon Pellon's antics, but that Talos found Pellon's attitude to be quite amusing. The avatar of Talos watched Pellon start a fight with over twenty men in a bar one night. As a gift for such destructive entertainment, Talos touched the lute that was laying next to Pellon's unconscious body. After that night, Pellon discovered that he could make men go berserk just by playing his lute in their direction. He took great delight in setting mercenaries and sailors against each other for several weeks. Eventually, Pellon Kay was laid low by a grim-featured warrior with a crossbow who didn't let Pellon get close enough to employ his magical lute.

Piper was a worshipper of Auril, born in the town of Silverymoon and raised to embrace the frigid environment of his homeland. He traveled extensively in the Moonsea, where he met a mage named Pelham of the Moor. Owain and Pelham became good friends and stayed in contact for over a decade. Pelham eventually enchanted Owain's Lullabye for the bard in exchange for a small sum of money. Owain rarely used the instrument in battle, typically employing it when he found late-migrating geese lounging on a lake. He would blow the horn in such a way that the geese heard it as the sound of their cousins heading south for the winter. As the geese would attempt to take flight, Owain's horn would freeze them in mid-stroke, where he would leave them to die.

Nikolai was born in The Vast, near High Haspur, the son of a chandler. Because of the intermittent traffic through the region, Nikolai was introduced to many different cultures. One of the travelers he met was an elven musician named Relev Thinriver. Relev introduced Nikolai to the violin and taught him for several years as he wandered through the area. Relev knew that Nikolai was an incredibly gifted child, with quick fingers, a keen mind, and a passion for all things in the world. Relev also recognized that Nikolai was exceedingly proud and arrogant. In spite of Nikolai's shortcomings, Relev taught him everything he knew. After Relev was killed by a band of orcs, Nikolai began to practice on his own throughout the Vast. Despite his travels, he always returned to the isolate peaks of his mountain birthplace. He became famed throughout the Vast, the southern Moonsea and Sembia for his incredible talent and passionate performances. Eventually, news of the proud young virtuoso spread to the ears of a nearby thug from Calaunt named Tremble Ghon. When Tremble and his gang traveled through the Elvenblood Pass, they stopped at the Elf in Armor Inn and demanded a performance from Nikolai, who happened to be present and eating dinner with his father at the time. Nikolai refused to perform for Tremble and his men. He called them stinking oafs and attempted to leave with dignity. Tremble assaulted Nikolai's pride by claiming that Nikolai was afraid of performing because he'd be heckled out of the inn for his incompetence. Nikolai shot back that his skill with the violin was so great that he could raise the dead from their graves. Satisfied with a proposed challenge, Tremble immediately grabbed Nikolai's father and stabbed him in the heart. When a number of other villagers attempted to intervene, they were also killed by the bandits. Tremble defiantly stood over Nikolai's dead father and said, "Where's your big mouth now, fiddle player?" Without a word, Nikolai pulled his violin and bow out from underneath his arms and began to play a melody that none of the residents of High Haspur had ever heard before, and no one in Faerun would ever hear again. Nikolai played with unbridled passion and fervor. Onlookers later remarked that he appeared to be a madman, thrashing about in ways that people didn't think were possible. At the climax of his frenzied piece, Tremble and his gang watched in horror as the souls of the men and women they had just killed rose from their corpses and dove, shrieking, at their murderers. The bandits died horrible deaths, chilled by the shadows of their victims. Nikolai himself continued playing, dancing through the streets and back pastures of his alpine home until every man, woman, child, and beast ever buried in the region rose from its resting place and milled about until Nikolai and his music disappeared into a far off valley, shrouded in a mysterious fog that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Legends say that on misty nights, the ghost of Nikolai Tallow returns to his homeland, playing a phantom violin with a host of dancing dead trailing behind him in the moonlight.

A number of druids came north from the High Moor to deal with her, but they found her exceptionally difficult to dislodge from the region.

According to the tale, the bow takes its name from its pivotal role in the escape of a young woman named Sophia, a typical maiden fair who was pledged to marry the son of Duke Hugh Gladegrin (the son is described as hideously ugly and of foul temperament, of course). Sophia, however, believed she was destined to marry one of the Duke's archers, a dashing young golden-haired fellow who roamed the surrounding lands felling foul beasts with a single twang of his mighty bow. As the tale goes, one of the court wizards (a transmuter) took pity on the young woman's plight and cast a spell that turned her into an arrow for an hour's time. The transmuter arranged for Sophia to be fired from the castle wall to a ship waiting off the coast, where she could sail to freedom. The tale then breaks down from here, as numerous accounts claim that Sophia did not flee the coast safely, and that she transformed back into her normal body while she was halfway across the water, plunging into the icy ocean. Another school claims that, while in arrow form, Sophia pierced the side of the ship, then choked to death when she resumed her normal form with her neck embedded in the ship's hull. Still others claim that she was never even launched from the bow, and that she resumed her normal form while inside the archer's quiver, and she awoke, naked, wearing only the small band of leather about her body. When this last argument is made, the discussion generally deteriorates into a steady stream of sexual innuendos and the evening officially goes downhill. Whatever the tale, the bow has a range unmatched by many other bows in the realms, and the arrows launched from it strike far and true - unlike the story surrounding the bow.

One of their most well known warriors in human lands was the incredibly accurate archer Bariah Goldendown. Though the elves will neither confirm nor deny the legend, some human tales state that keen-eyed Bariah never missed a target in battle. His bow, crafted by his mother, was never given a name that was known outside of the family. The humans that suffered under its power called it "Great Sun-Reacher," believing that Bariah's arrows could reach into the heavens themselves. In a battle that many Evereskans are bitter about to this day, Bariah's griffon mount was killed in the sky by the spells of invisible wizards that ambushed an elven patrol. Though only one mage escaped with his life, he did manage to take Great Sun-Reacher with him.

Its history is not rich, having been used by the chief hunter of a small tribe for decades. The bow later fell into the hands of invaders after the tribe was wiped out. Its obvious "barbarian" look could be unappealing to stylish urban adventurers. Made of yew and wrapped with thin furs, the bow looks rugged and practical.

Though Herrian repeatedly was challenged to displays of "real" hunting skill, he always returned to his home near Corm Orp to provide rabbits for his community. A noble elven hunter named Shidan Imraith challenged the halfling to a hunting contest in 1197 DR. When Herrian emerged at the victor, the proud elf became so enraged that he ordered his men to kill the halfling. Though Imraith's house was disgraced for the action and Shidan was brought to justice, Herrian's fine yew bow disappeared.

In addition to the wands he created, Disredain made a number of experimental magic items during a fifteen-year period of frenzied research. This belt was one of the items he did not think highly of. Consisting of large, crescent-shaped slices of mottled copper sitting back to back, the belt is quite thick and unique in appearance. A cleric of Talos named Ylkath wore the Arcs for three decades before he died of old age. His companion, the Umberlant priestess Ashalla of the Jade Tide, kept the belt for barely three years before she was shot dead by pirates that survived one of her nautical attacks. The pirates sold the belt to a fence. Its history past that point is unknown.

Legends say that the Blessed Black Goat appeared to a nameless halfling village that had been sacked by goblins during a terrible winter. The tribe of warriors slew most of the halfling men, burned the fields, and took all of the town's livestock. Broken but not hopeless, the villagers congregated for prayer in the burned chapel at the center of town. Out of the smoke drifting over the edge of town, a black goat appeared with six kids, five black, one white. Over the course of six weeks, the kids miraculously grew, gave birth to six more kids, and then died in the night. The milk, meat, and hide provided by the goats helped the halflings survive through their harsh winter. After the six weeks of miracles had passed, the town tanner made a belt from the hide of the mother goat that had appeared out of the smoke. Halfling tales often contain stories of halfling heroes wearing the Blessed Black Goat Girdle on their adventures, though no one has yet determined exactly where the legend truly originated.

The slippers were enchanted by the burglar and wizard Chimandrae of Black Veils. Chimandrae was legendary throughout the ancient empires of the south. Her powers of trickery, seduction, and acrobatics were praised and cursed with equal frequency. She wore these slippers in her home in case unexpected visitors dropped in. Chimandrae mysteriously disappeared in 742 DR, leaving most of her possessions behind in her large Untherian estate.

Edhan risked his life hunting for young white dragons in the tundra north of Icewind Dale. Though the risk was extreme, the foolhardy barbarian was wealthy beyond what most tribesmen can dream of. As he aged, Edhan lost his edge. The belt helped protect him in his later years. Eventually, an old barbarian of fifty-six winters, Edhan fell victim to a pair of young whites. Barbarians from the Tribe of the Great Wyrm eventually recovered the warrior's body, but chose not to inter his body. They traded his belt away with the rest of his equipment. The front of the belt features a broad white dragon's chest scale. Leather lined with polar bear fur makes up the rest of the belt.

Fashioned by the dwarven giant slayer, the Little Giant Hohn Burninghair, the buckle of this belt is actually the petrified eye of a firbolg shaman that Hohn fought during his travels. In incorporating the eye into the belt, however, some of the essence of the shaman was transferred along with it, including the northern flu it had when Burninghair laid it low. As a result, any creatures attempting to focus on the wearer will find tears springing to their eyes, clouding their vision, and find their heads begin to become stuffy and cold. For some reason, this enchantment seems to interfere with the perceptions of dead creatures and constructs as well, but the reason for this is unknown. Hohn lost this belt when he was attempting to wade across a stream in pursuit of a fleeing verbeeg giant who had made off with one of his ponies. The belt was washed downstream and eventually ended up in the hands of a simple trapper, who traded the ugly thing to a wandering tinker. This belt grants the wearer tremendous strength and also blurs the vision of anyone looking at the wearer. Due to the tears it causes in the eyes of anyone looking at it, any warrior wearing one of these items is often told to take it off by their companions. When the belt wearer threatens to rip a tree out of the ground and club the requester for asking, however, the matter is usually dropped.

His magical footwear made him extremely difficult to capture. Eventually, a league of merchants hired a pair of brother wizards, Dashrim and Balkat of Dragon Falls, to stop the assassin before he worked his way through their high council. Dashrim and Balkat ambushed the assassin and dispelled his enchantments. When they finally killed him, they pulled back the man's mask and found that his face had been horribly disfigured in a fire. Strangely, divination revealed nothing about the man's history or clients. The brothers kept the boots for a few years and eventually sold them. Because they did not know the name of the man they had killed, they simply called the items "Shifter's Nimble Boots".

These stalkers had been tasked to find Kresselack a final resting place, far from prying eyes, where he might die in peace. When the stalkers had succeeded, they and the sashes they wore joined him in his tomb within the Vale of Shadows. When Kresselack's Tomb was plundered by a southern adventuring company many years past, the sashes were carried out of the tomb and distributed throughout the North. This sash, however, is different than the others, and it seems to have carried the essence of the Vale of Shadows with it as it left Kresselack's Tomb. When this sash is tied about the waist, it vanishes completely, and the wearer vanishes from the sight of any creature attempting to scry his movements or detect his location. Furthermore, as long as the sash is worn, shadows seem to embrace the character, giving him added abilities to hide in shadows and causing spells that hold or confine to simply slide off his body like rain.

After being incarcerated for twelve years in Berdusk, Berywel decided to do something to prevent the priests of Helm in that city from capturing him again. His gnomish friend, Chester Spindle, created this muted green and brown cloak in exchange for a case of wine stolen from a temple of Ilmater. Under its protection, Berywel slipped out of Berdusk at least ten times despite having priests of Helm in hot pursuit. When Berywel retired in Baldur's Gate, he sold the cloak to a friend.

It is out of one such simple life that the legend of Behem Farmer of Mistledale emerged. However, the circumstances surrounding his legend are far from typical. While tending his farm near Sword Creek, bandit riders from the east rode forth and told him to surrender his land. Behem was overcome with grief and could not answer them. The leader of the bandits told Behem that he had until dawn of the next morning to vacate the land. The bandits then rode towards other farms and told them the same thing. At dusk, as the farmers cleared out their homes and prepared to fall back to defensible ground, some of the families saw the silhouette of Behem standing in his field, leaning upon his hoe, his head hung low. In the evening, three farmers approached Behem's field and saw the farmer asleep in his field. More shocking was the apparition of a woman, believed to be the spirit of Chauntea, wrapping Behem's loose cloak around him. The farmers returned to their families and told everyone what they had witnessed. Bolstered by the belief that Chauntea had blessed Behem for staying on his farm, the farmers gathered up their families and marched back to their farms. Unfortunately, their bravery had returned a few moments too late. Behem had just been killed by the bandits for refusing to leave. Before the eyes of the farmers, thick vines erupted from the field the bandits stood upon. The vegetation not only held the bandits firmly in place, but also thrashed and choked them into unconsciousness. The farmers rushed forward and drove off the bandits who remained. Though Behem's body disappeared with the vines, his bloodstained, tattered cloak remained behind.

Although with proper training wizards may overcome these restrictions, wizards will normally choose to enchant their robes or a ring to have deflective properties so as to remain unfettered by bulky armor. But if by chance a talented fighter, or a skilled bowman connected with their weapon, the wizard would not have the fortitude to last long. Clerics of Mystra, seeing this dilemma that fell upon the wizards of the land, made cloaks blessed by Mystra herself. These cloaks granted the wizard special damage resistances where most, if not all, the damage that was dealt out from a weapon would be negated. In addition, the clerics of Mystra empowered the cloaks with the ability to cast Stoneskin. Needless to say that wizards who acquired the cloaks, which eventually were called Mystra's Embrace, felt even more powerful, if not invulnerable.

It is said that a wind tore through Everard's home after the events twenty years past and hurled his cloak into the upper branches of the Kuldahar Oak, where it was lashed and beaten by the icy winds for days, and ultimately lifted up and carried upon the storms for nearly a month. When it settled down, it was taken up by a wandering druid, who wore the cloak and used it to crush a sect of Aurilites in the ice shadowed delves of Slow Cedric's Gallop three years ago. Once his task was accomplished, the cloak was taken up by the wind again, and carried northward to be used against those that threaten the Balance once again. It is intended to avenge those who disrupt the Balance with violence, and to remind aggressors that one may not defeat nature, only anger it.

The commander apparently was killed in a drunken brawl by a warrior with a bizarre title before the rest of his band fled south, and this armor was taken by the local authorities in Bryn Shander. It was since released and has passed through the hands of several merchants in the far north. This armor is valued in the far north due to its ability to protect the wielder from the elements as well as being light enough to allow for greater freedom of movement.

As a joke, several of his students inscribed many of his theorems and oft-quoted passages on a string of darts and presented it to the aged instructor on the day of his retirement. This proved to be a gift of questionable wisdom, as Adron was quick to anger, and he promptly began to fling the darts at his students - only to find that the theorems had given the darts a sage-like accuracy when making their points. Fortunately for the students, they were as good at dodging darts as they were in dodging their studies, so except for a few pairs of soiled robes, there was little damage done.

Unfortunately, just as he was placing the final enchantments on the item, Delnar's mother entered into the room, saw the dart, and said "Careful, ye'll put an eye out with that."

Some say he was human, others demi-human, and still others claim he was of demonic origin. No one knows for sure. The only surviving clue to his identity can be found in his flail. The Demon's Breath Flail is a vile looking weapon. The haft is crafted from jet black onyx with a pulsating red core. Fiery runes writhe along the length of the haft, almost as if they have a mind of their own. The haft is capped with a pommel stone, a blood red garnet. The weapon sports two heads, each the visage of an unknown but demonic looking creature. The eyes of the heads glow red and a sulpherous odor seems to emanate from the mouths. The heads appear to be crafted from lumps of coal, and yet are as hard as steel. The weapon can only be wielded by those of evil alignment. In the hands of such an individual, the Demon's Breath Flail has been known to immolate its intended target. Otherwise it acts as any other flail.

First by her lord father, who married her to Duke Sorim for political gain despite knowing that he would relentlessly torment young Roa. Second by her abusive husband the duke, who planted assassins amongst her handmaidens... when Roa visited her dearest brother Remin - a powerful baron - the assassins murdered him as he slept and so his lands passed to the duke. The third and final betrayal was at the hands of her sister Rana, who longed to take the duke, his riches, and eventually the royal crown for her own. Rana entwined herself in a plot with Duke Sorim to slay the king, discredit the true heir as his bastard child with Roa, and thereby steal the throne. Roa, still less than sixteen summers old, was bound with a ball and chain and cast into the duke's infamous dungeons to await the completion of her husband and sister's terrible scheme. She sobbed and moaned day and night, her voice echoing through the keep's halls. The duke soon grew incensed at her constant wailing and sent one of his Ducal Guard to beat little Roa into silence. When the man arrived at the cell, he struck her across the face, shoved her to the ground and made to kick at her belly - but quick as that, Roa sprung up and strangled the man with her chains. Moments later the willowy young girl burst into the duke's court and attacked him savagely. His guards pelted her with bolts from their crossbows, but onwards she charged. When she reached the Ducal Throne she tossed Sorim's champion aside like a broken doll, swinging the iron ball of her shackles with such strength that it stove in the shocked duke's thrice-enchanted breastplate of meteoric iron, driving shards of shattered ribs into his lungs and heart and killing him instantly. No one is clear as to how the tale ends - some say that Roa then expired on the spot, her chest and back bristling with bolts, while others describe how her sister Rana leapt up and killed her with a dagger... a few optimistic souls even claim that Roa lived and spent the rest of her days in peaceful bliss. Whatever the case, her shackles remain as a testament to her story. The chains of Roa's shackles have been looped and wound together in such a way that one can wield them as a flail. Crudely etched into the soft iron of the ball are the words "In Righteousness Lies My Strength."

The urns were reported to carry moss that had grown on the field of battle, and when the poultice was applied to the wounds of warriors and adventurers, it aided their recovery. This urn looks like it has been left in a cold, dank place too long, for mold has grown across the exterior.

Feat Requirement: Martial Weapon, Polearm Type: Two-handed Purchased From: Gallaway Trading Depot (Chp 1.1-HoF) --- [00HFHBHL.ITM] Holy Swizarnian Hammer of Lucerne This odd pole-arm appears to be a cross between a halberd and a warhammer, fitted with a four-pronged hammerhead and a long thrusting spike. Its creation was the result of a blunder made during the commission of an enchanted item for Lodur the Brave (alternately known as Lodur Iron-Bollocks, Lodur the Foolhardy, and Lodur the Dullard), a powerful but none-to-bright cleric. Lodur had of heard rumors of a mighty long-hafted hammer, possibly wielded by a hero known as Lucerne, or perhaps that's where it was made, which may or may not have had to do with a land or king or deity called Swizaria, or Switzlund, or "something of that nature, I am most certain." "Oh," he had then added, "and pray thee bless it as well... thou dost know, that one where it explodes undead most explosively and what-not, so that I might get my most righteous smite on." Lodur's fierce demeanor, violent reputation, and sacks of gold begged quiet compliance, and so the dwarven arms-master simply nodded and sent the cleric on his way, promising the weapon in two months' time. The arm-master consulted with his clan's lore-master and sure enough, there *was* word of such a weapon: it came from a trader in Sigil by way of an exceptionally well-traveled plane-walker. The arms-master dutifully copied the weapon's function and form, working runes of power into its haft and head just as Lodur had asked for. When Lodur the Brave returned to the dwarven stronghold to pick up his new hammer, he found instead a spiked pole-arm whose use was forbidden by his religion. The cleric ranted and gnashed his teeth and swore up and down the halls of the clan before stomping off in disgust, leaving his payment and the somewhat inappropriately named "Holy Swizarnian Hammer of Lucerne" behind.

His undead warriors and animals were dreadful to behold on their rocky perches. It took the concerted effort of over a hundred invaders to defeat the lich. Once the terror had been dispatched, some arcanists-turned-wizards decided to use the magic-laced skeletal hands in the construction of a helm. Some historians mutter in the margins of their writings that the wizards may have been attempting to construct an item similar to the ill-fated Crown of Horns. The helm's history post-creation is unknown.

Actually no one really knows if Airon is a gnome or not because no one has actually seen him. Apparently overnight he had taken over an abandoned shop at the edge of small town. One day the shop was vacant and then the next it was boarded up tight with signs in every language telling passersby to go away. Infuriated, the previous owner demanded he leave, but quickly relinquished his claim to the shop when a large sack of gold appeared at his feet. The very next day, mysterious notes began to appear all over town. They all contained the same message and read as follows: ************************************** Bring potatoes. Will pay in gold. -Airon Broun ************************************** Intrigued, a few townspeople decided to take him up on his offer and delivered sacks of potatoes to the shop. They would shove the potatoes into a delivery chute located in the back of the shop and then soon after a small sack of gold would appear, usually five times the going rate of the potatoes. The better the quality of the potatoes the more gold would appear. News soon spread of this wonderful offer and it was not long until every potato in town was sold to the curious gnome. No matter how many potatoes one delivered, there always appeared a sack of gold for payment. Needless to say, every farm for miles around started growing potatoes. Each farmer would try to outdo the other by producing the biggest and tastiest potatoes. This continued on for years until finally, the quality of potatoes was so good that instead of gold appearing, magic items of all sorts would appear. Not realizing the magical nature of the items given, the farmers sold them to passing merchants in disgust and stopped farming potatoes altogether. This hammer is one such item. By inserting special enchanted plates into the head of the hammer, the user is able to modify the abilities of the hammer. This particular hammer comes with plates that will do extra acid, cold, or fire damage.

He was the captain of the pirate warship, The Bouncing Rhonda; a twenty gun cutter that was considered one of the fastest vessels on the high seas. Those unfortunate merchant ships that crossed paths with The Bouncing Rhonda were never able to outrun the cutter, were summarily boarded and their merchandise stolen. Now, the fact that Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard and his hearty men of The Bouncing Rhonda successfully pirated ships was not so unusual. No, the unusual part was that after the men of The Bouncing Rhonda successfully seized a merchant vessel, Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard would jump from the crow's nest, grab a rope in mid flight that was tied to the mast, gallantly swing down and land elegantly upon the deck of the merchant ship. At almost the same time Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard's feet touched the merchant ship's deck, the captured crew took an instant liking to the pirate captain. In fact, it was not uncommon for a majority of the captured crews to beg for a commission on The Bouncing Rhonda. However, the instant the pirate captain and his crew left the merchant ship (along with its cargo), the remaining merchant ship's crew immediately resumed their hatred for the pirate captain. No one knew why or how Captain Aeryl Goldenbeard managed to charm his victims so well. That is, not until one day, while the good pirate captain was making one of his famous entrances via rope and mast, his colorful bandana flew off his near balding head. The second his foot touched the deck, all the former merchant crews that went along with the pirate ship instantly came to their senses and summarily beat the pirate captain to death. It did not take long for those around to realize that the pirate captain's bandana held magical properties that made him seem more charming. Unfortunately for the remaining pirate and merchant crew, the bandana flew into the sea. However, rumors would pop up from time to time that a particularly dashing swashbuckler had the uncanny ability to charm his way out of trouble and liked to swing from mast ropes - and that he wore a very colorful bandana.

Arioth had lived in a small community near the edge of Anauroch, the great desert. When a mysterious force emerged from the sands to destroy the village, Arioth's wife was killed. Through circumstance, Arioth became a wandering mercenary. Over time, Arioth became a great hero and champion for the innocents of Cormyr and the Dalelands, though he shied away from such praise. His worn, heavy crossbow was named after his dead wife, Geloise. When Arioth died of old age, his wishes were that his equipment be sold off at an auction in Essembra, Battledale, and the proceeds given to the citizens of that village.

There was apparently no love lost between the couple, and their arguments on everything from maintaining the home to maintaining the accounts were legendary within the clan halls. Shortly after Hagnen was crushed to death in the great quake of 1275 DR, Hagnen's wife proceeded to lay her husband's name (and backlog of uncompleted work) to rest by finishing the last of a series of enchanted weapons that still lay in Hagnen's workshop, cursing each one with Hagnen's name. After finishing the last of his weapons, Miraenna apparently left the dwarven clan home and traveled southwards, gladly ridding herself of the Odestone name and creations.

After five years, troublemakers throughout the Moonsea and Inner Sea knew that if Iron Mary was on their heels, they had angered someone of considerable importance.

The scepter can easily be wielded as a mace, and an effective one as well.

The organization and the forging of the rings was sponsored by a merchant from Waterdeep whose name has been burned from the annals of history by the Hosttower. Apparently, after being forced to debase himself before the Hosttower during a trading agreement in Luskan (and being forced to surrender much of his cargo), the merchant became obsessed with wiping the Hosttower from the face of Faerun. Commissioning wizards in Waterdeep to fashion a score of rings for him, he set about using the last of his remaining wealth to hire a band of wizard slayers to bring about the downfall of the Hosttower. These twenty wizard slayers made arrangements to travel north on their own and rendezvous with the merchant in Luskan. There was one wizard slayer named Martek, however, who ignored the rings offered by the merchant, and knowing the danger and guile of the Hosttower, instead commissioned a special ring from a dwarven ally that would provide him additional wards against spells and charms. Once the other members of the Circle of Ice began to be murdered in Luskan after the Hosttower learned their identities, Martek used the power of his enhanced ring to shield himself from the scrying of the Hosttower wizards and escape southwards. He eventually returned the ring to his dwarven ally, who sold it to a merchant making his way for Bryn Shander. This Cold Steel Reflection ring differs from the other Circle of Ice rings in that it seems to have a ring of steel beneath the icy exterior of the ring - much like Martek himself.

Upon the blade was inscribed "Know thy family," and Thomas took the motto to heart. Bolstered by the sword and his mother's loss, he became determined to find Kresselack - whether out of a need for a new family to belong to or to take revenge on Kresselack for abandoning his mother, it is not known. When he found the Black Wolf, Kresselack spurned the young man, claiming that the sickly and weak-looking Thomas shared no blood with him, then ordered him beaten and left beneath the shadow of Kelvin's Cairn to die. After two days in the freezing cold, Thomas was rescued by a tribe of Uthgart barbarians fleeing Kresselack's army. Nursing the man back to health, the barbarians adopted Thomas into their tribe and he eventually became one of their greatest hunters.

He stalked the realms, eyes ablaze with madness, slaying monsters and brigands wherever he found them. But as the years passed and Alemis found no more of such wheat to thresh, he took to turning his thirsting blades on all who crossed his path... and so, once more, the Bloody Juggernaut had returned." -- from "Master Pelib's Bedtime Tales" This heavy, unadorned bastard sword of dull gray steel is a cursed thing, only showing its true form when the wielder is wounded in battle. It is then that the hilt sprouts crimson tendrils that bury themselves in the wielder's forearm; drinking his or her blood, the demon-sword opens the three glaring eyes along its twisting, dripping blade and drives the wielder mad with lust for bloodshed. Should a warrior carry Bloody Wroth along with its brothers Hateful and Furious, his or her soul would be lost to the hell-forged arms and armor. To wield even Bloody Wroth alone might be construed as insanity... but there will always be those for whom it may be just the weapon they're looking for.

Most famous were his boots, "Breath-of-Life," which left flowers and tiny saplings sprouting from the earth where Caernach strode. Still, the arch-druid's "lesser possessions" were nothing to scoff at - take, for instance, his silver sickle, fashioned to gather sacred mistletoe and the heads of enemies alike. This unusual weapon is actually a cross between a sickle and a proper sword, resembling a scimitar more than anything else. Both the oaken haft and silver blade are engraved with decorative swirls and patterns. Once per day the sickle may be used to scratch a small circle into the earth; digging in the spot so marked will reveal a handful of healing berries just beneath the soil's surface.

Occasionally, the townsmen cannot help but come across a landmark or religious site that the barbarians erected. Twenty years ago, Sammel Colger of Bremen was fishing near the Sea of Moving Ice when he discovered the remnants of a small barbarian ship. He was drawn to a particular piece of the hull that had a colorful painting on the side. As he pulled the wood from the water, a polar bear leapt up from the depths and struck at the young man's head. Instinctively, he pulled the wood towards his face. The bear's huge talons were deflected. Amazingly, the creature slipped and fell back into the cold water. Not hesitating to see what the bear would do, Sammel rushed back to his small ship and returned to Bremen. A priest of Tempus later told the young man that the painting was of a sacrificial virgin. He believed that the small boat must have drifted all the way from Maer Dualdon to the Sea of Moving Ice, where it was smashed to pieces. Sammel had the wood fashioned into a shield, which he took with him on his far-reaching fishing trips until the end of his days.

It is heavy even for a shield of its size, much of the weight coming from a large sculpted dragon's head set into its face - the head, wrought in the same red metal as the rest of the shield, protrudes almost like a gargoyle from a castle wall. The head is the likeness of Red Fang, one-time mount of a tyrannical warrior-king from a land long ago forgotten. When Red Fang was slain in battle, the warrior-king had the beast's soul bound to this shield so that the faithful dragon could still accompany him into battle. Once per day Red Fang's iron head can breathe a gout of searing flame at the shield-bearer's command. The warrior-king was eventually slain himself by a trio of brave heroes.

Overall, Dwelnar's Folly appears cheap and inconsequential. The true beauty of Dwelnar's Folly is discovered in battle. Despite its large size, the weapon is surprisingly light and easy to wield. The enchanted blade bypasses all armor and strikes directly at the life force of its target. Unfortunately, it is incapable of affecting any creature without said life force. Therefore, undead and constructs are immune. Dwelnar's Folly was originally crafted for Dwelnar the Pious, a warrior who aspired to become a paladin. He demanded that the blade be plain and unobtrusive, reflecting his own humility. Only in battle would the weapon show its worth. Unfortunately his enemies soon learned the nature of the blade and unleashed a horde of undead against him. Dwelnar quickly fell in battle and the sword was lost.

Unfortunately, his mother had a habit of interrupting him at crucial points during the enchantment process, often with disastrous results. Delnar's Healing Blade is another botched attempt by Delnar to construct something of use. This weapon is truly an enigma. When used in battle it does little to no damage, instead healing the intended target. However, the healing is miniscule at best and hardly worth the effort required to swing the blade. In any case, it has been given the name 'Delnar's Healing Blade' because of its inability to slay a target. What purpose Delnar originally intended this weapon to serve is unknown.

The oldest of dwarves speak of dykhast blades with tears of fond remembrance in their eyes, and callously spit at the mention of the "sundry weak and piddling'" metals that today's arms and armor are fashioned from. There are rumors, though, of an ancient and secret temple called Chogoh Kyn - it is there, the tales say, that blades of dykhast are still made in the fashion of days long past.

The short sword's dark magic not only protects the wielder from the effects of magical webs, but can entangle a target with webs of its own as well. An assassin typically uses the weapon to seal a target in a cocoon of silk, stepping away from their thrashing foe to complete the murder with a poisoned dart or wrist-crossbow bolt. Such weapons have also helped many a would-be assassin flee from something that they've backstabbed but failed to kill with a single blow.

To this end he commissioned the making of Assassin's Blade to aid him in his brother's murder. Many such tales exist throughout the realms and history. Who is to say if they are fact or fiction?

This blade was reputedly given to a local warlord who sought to challenge the shogun, but the shogun was so contemptuous of the warlord's pretensions of being a threat that he invited him to his court and gave him the blade to both insult the man and as a warning for him to know his place. When drawn, this short, silvered blade has a broad base that tapers to a sharp point, but despite its apparent lightness, it is actually quite heavy.

Hundreds of years ago, Aramite started a cult that revered the rulers of ancient Netheril. Seeking to recreate Netherese culture, Aramite and his followers attempted to overtake and excavate a large number of ruins across Faerun.

The Circle of Ice was sponsored by a merchant from Waterdeep whose name has been burned from recorded history by the Hosttower. Apparently, after being forced to debase himself before the Hosttower during a trading agreement in Luskan (and being forced to surrender much of his cargo), the merchant became obsessed with wiping the Hosttower from the face of Faerun. Commissioning wizards in Waterdeep to fashion a score of rings for him, he set about using the last of his remaining wealth to hire a band of wizard slayers to bring about the downfall of the Hosttower. These twenty wizard slayers made arrangements to travel north on their own and rendezvous with the merchant in Luskan. Ironically enough, the merchant never wore one of these rings, which was key in exposing and defeating the movement. As soon as he returned to Luskan, his mind picked apart by telepaths and his movements scried, and each wizard slayer and accomplice were noted, identified, and ultimately led into deathtraps where their rings proved no match against the summoned monsters and arrows of slaying wielded by the ambush parties. It is rumored that only one wizard slayer, Martek, escaped the Hosttower, and to this day, he has never been found, which has been a constant source of irritation to the mages. In any event, the Circle of Ice died a quick, silent death in Luskan, but the merchant lived on as a toy of the Hosttower, serving them until death, at which point, his corpse was stored in their laboratories. It is most likely his preserved body will end up as the left arm of a flesh golem named Bok many years from now. These small bands of Cold Reflection appear to be made of crystallized ice, very cold to the touch, and they cannot be seen by a wizard unless the wizard knows they are there. If your band contains one that fancies him or herself a wizard slayer, perhaps these rings may be used for the purpose they were intended... but without the shortsightedness of foolish merchants handicapping your efforts.

The mistresses of the temple organized an attack on the school that lasted only an hour. Despite the brevity of the battle, some historians claim that the torture inflicted upon the wizards lasted for weeks. This particular robe was worn by Jamal Briars, a professor of alchemy.

Fain decided to craft a robe that would lessen the damage done to her instead of relying on the traditional method of preventing blows from landing. Fain's robe is ragged and patched in many places, having served her well for over twenty years. Fain and her comrades eventually retired. She sold her robe to a more foolhardy wizard who died five years later in the Battle of the Bones. STATISTICS: Damage Resistance: 1/- Slashing, Piercing, Bludgeoning Weight: 3 lb.

Occasionally, the townsmen cannot help but come across a landmark or religious site that the barbarians erected. Twenty years ago, Sammel Colger of Bremen was fishing near the Sea of Moving Ice when he discovered the remnants of a small barbarian ship. He was drawn to a particular piece of the hull that had a colorful painting on the side. As he pulled the wood from the water, a polar bear leapt up from the depths and struck at the young man's head. Instinctively, he pulled the wood towards his face. The bear's huge talons were deflected. Amazingly, the creature slipped and fell back into the cold water. Not hesitating to see what the bear would do, Sammel rushed back to his small ship and returned to Bremen. A priest of Tempus later told the young man that the painting was of a sacrificial virgin. He believed that the small boat must have drifted all the way from Maer Dualdon to the Sea of Moving Ice, where it was smashed to pieces. Sammel had the wood fashioned into a shield, which he took with him on his far-reaching fishing trips until the end of his days.

It is heavy even for a shield of its size, much of the weight coming from a large sculpted dragon's head set into its face - the head, wrought in the same red metal as the rest of the shield, protrudes almost like a gargoyle from a castle wall. The head is the likeness of Red Fang, one-time mount of a tyrannical warrior-king from a land long ago forgotten. When Red Fang was slain in battle, the warrior-king had the beast's soul bound to this shield so that the faithful dragon could still accompany him into battle. Once per day Red Fang's iron head can breathe a gout of searing flame at the shield-bearer's command. The warrior-king was eventually slain himself by a trio of brave heroes. Though his shield has been sighted numerous times throughout the realms, his great horned helm and mighty golden axe have yet to be rediscovered.

His tribe's battles against hordes of orcs, goblins, and hill giants are legendary throughout the north. Unfortunately for Pergad, the other tribes of the region decided to move south or settle in the cities of the north rather than fight against the seemingly endless waves of foes. Pergad's tribe, the Tribe of Dead Trees, was the last to make a stand. Though Pergad emerged victorious in a series of difficult battles, his tribe dwindled as quickly as the horde grew. At the Battle of Surbrin Shallows in 1014 DR, Pergad's tribe finally came to its end under cruel ogre clubs and giant-hurled rocks. Legend states that when Pergad finally realized that his tribe was doomed, he drove his trusted spear into the Surbrin riverbed, cursing all the goblins who crossed over the water that his people once thrived on. Orcish shamans claim that the spot where his spear penetrated the rock bled for days. A year later, two tribes of goblins were wiped out by a plague that spread among them after they settled in the Surbrin river valley.

All manner of bandits, murderers, rapists, and other worthies were left dangling from its knotty limbs; and all to the delight of the grave-digger Mordigan. For Mordigan, a secret practitioner of the necromantic arts, saw ample opportunity in which to ply his trade. Interring the remains of the evil men within close proximity of the tree, Mordigan called upon the dark powers of the negative material to perform a baleful act upon the black willow. It was given a sort of semi-sentience, and the ability to feed upon the remains of those who had so recently swung from its branches. Black roots descended into rotting flesh; and alarmingly enough, the tortured visages of the slain began to appear in the twisted knots of the black willow's bole before its burning. But, to the surprise of the villagers, the potently ensorcelled staff carved by the hands of the evil Mordigan did indeed prove to be their undoing. And thus did the hanged men of Dead Man's Tree have their revenge.

Upon the blade was inscribed "Know thy family," and Thomas took the motto to heart. Bolstered by the sword and his mother's loss, he became determined to find Kresselack - whether out of a need for a new family to belong to or to take revenge on Kresselack for abandoning his mother, it is not known. When he found the Black Wolf, Kresselack spurned the young man, claiming that the sickly and weak-looking Thomas shared no blood with him, then ordered him beaten and left beneath the shadow of Kelvin's Cairn to die. After two days in the freezing cold, Thomas was rescued by a tribe of Uthgart barbarians fleeing Kresselack's army. Nursing the man back to health, the barbarians adopted Thomas into their tribe and he eventually became one of their greatest hunters. When he passed away from winter chill many years later, he left his sword to his youngest son to help him find his way in the world.

The blade is crafted of red-gold with a silver edge. The guard is finely polished platinum, and the wire wound hilt is crafted of black adamantine. When drawn, the blade radiates a rainbow of colors. This weapon has been considered both a curse and a blessing by those who wield it. Against lawful creatures it does devastating damage and attacks are made with an uncanny accuracy. Rage of Chaos has been known to turn the tide in many a battle. Unfortunately, the wielder loses control of his or her faculties and flies into a berserk rage upon drawing the weapon. The blade is also believed to be cursed. Once held, it cannot be relinquished. The history of Rage of Chaos is unknown. The weapon has appeared throughout the realms in various battles over the centuries only to be lost once again.

There, alone in the cavernous chamber, were Wroth, Hateful, and Furious - the dread sword, axe, and armor of Hurom, ancient ancestor of Alemis, once known as the Bloody Juggernaut before he broke his cursed iron's spell and took the Peacemaker name." "Alemis, a mere boy, donned the fell armor and took Wroth and Hateful in hand. Alone he cut his way through Borab's motley horde of humanoid raiders until he faced the towering half-giant himself, hacking him down and scattering his army to the wind. His family - father, mother, brothers and sisters alike - had all died by then, but Alemis no longer cared. He stalked the realms, eyes ablaze with madness, slaying monsters and brigands wherever he found them. But as the years passed and Alemis found no more of such wheat to thresh, he took to turning his thirsting blades on all who crossed his path... and so, once more, the Bloody Juggernaut had returned." -- from "Master Pelib's Bedtime Tales" This heavy, unadorned bastard sword of dull gray steel is a cursed thing, only showing its true form when the wielder is wounded in battle. It is then that the hilt sprouts crimson tendrils that bury themselves in the wielder's forearm; drinking his or her blood, the demon-sword opens the three glaring eyes along its twisting, dripping blade and drives the wielder mad with lust for bloodshed. Should a warrior carry Wroth along with its brothers Hateful and Furious, his or her soul would be lost to the hell-forged arms and armor. To wield even Wroth alone might be construed as insanity... but there will always be those for whom it may be just the weapon they're looking for.

Most famous were his boots, "Breath-of-Life," which left flowers and tiny saplings sprouting from the earth where Caernach strode. Still, the arch-druid's "lesser possessions" were nothing to scoff at - take, for instance, his silver sickle, fashioned to gather sacred mistletoe and the heads of enemies alike. This unusual weapon is actually a cross between a sickle and a proper sword, resembling a scimitar more than anything else. Both the oaken haft and silver blade are engraved with decorative swirls and patterns. Once per day the sickle may be used to scratch a small circle into the earth; digging in the spot so marked will reveal a handful of healing berries just beneath the soil's surface.

He traveled for forty years and is known for some of the most unique, haunting melodies in Faerun.

It is slightly translucent and appears to glow in dim light. The edge of the blade appears dull and unable to cut even the softest of materials. When used in combat, however, a moonblade is a formidable weapon. A moonblade bypasses armor and strikes at a target directly. The weapon drains life force and leaves no visible wounds, unless the creature is undead. Undead suffer terrible wounds from a moonblade. Their substance actually seems to boil away, and they suffer double damage. Moonblade's of Selune are the favored weapons of the priestesses of Selune. They are usually granted only to priestesses who serve the church beyond the call of duty. This weapon was given to Emma Moonblade for her unswerving dedication to the church.

Unfortunately, his mother had a habit of interrupting him at crucial points during the enchantment process, often with disastrous results. Death's Bane is another botched attempt by Delnar to construct something of use. This weapon is truly an enigma. When used in battle it does little to no damage, instead healing the intended target. However, the healing is miniscule at best and hardly worth the effort required to swing the blade. In any case, it has been given the name 'Death's Bane' because of its inability to slay a target. What purpose Delnar originally intended this weapon to serve is unknown. There are some who argue that it functions as intended, while others laugh at the absurdity of this.

The oldest of dwarves speak of dykhast blades with tears of fond remembrance in their eyes, and callously spit at the mention of the "sundry weak and piddling'" metals that today's arms and armor are fashioned from. There are rumors, though, of an ancient and secret temple called Chogoh Kyn - it is there, the tales say, that blades of dykhast are still made in the fashion of days long past. The price may be high, but for the true connoisseur, there is no matching the glory, the perfection, the utter joy... of dykhast.

Though a skilled weaponsmith, his true gift was his ability to whistle a heartfelt song that could cause a grown man to cry like a newborn. Only a reclusive mage shared and enjoyed time with the diminutive man, however, as others could only see his small size as a source of amusement. Deaf to the smith's song because of their own prejudices, their ridicule slowly grew into cruel torment which eventually persuaded the light-hearted man to leave his home forever. Before he left he forged this weapon as a gift for his one friend, who also enchanted it during the making. Thus the blade sweetly whistles to its wielder when unsheathed. It was not long after that the mage also deserted the small town in disgust, taking the sword with him on his journeys.

The entire weapon is as black as pitch and reflects no light; its grip is textured with a delicate web pattern while hundreds of tiny spiders are engraved along the two-foot blade. The short sword's dark magic not only protects the wielder from the effects of magical webs, but can entangle a target with webs of its own as well. An assassin typically uses the weapon to seal a target in a cocoon of silk, stepping away from their thrashing foe to complete the murder with a poisoned dart or wrist-crossbow bolt. Such weapons have also helped many a would-be assassin flee from something that they've backstabbed but failed to kill with a single blow.

This blade was reputedly given to a local warlord who sought to challenge the shogun, but the shogun was so contemptuous of the warlord's pretensions of being a threat that he invited him to his court and gave him the blade to both insult the man and as a warning for him to know his place. When drawn, this short, silvered blade has a broad base that tapers to a sharp point, but despite its apparent lightness, it is actually quite heavy. It always looks like it is standing at attention and it has a curious way of drawing the eye in combat, unbalancing and distracting any opponents it meets in combat.

Feat Requirement: Martial Weapon, Great Sword Type: Two-handed Minimum Strength of 18 Required Random Drop: All Games, HoF, Nrm --- [00SWDTCL.ITM] Cleaver Cleaver is not a fancy weapon. It was crafted with a single purpose in mind: the felling of ones enemies. The four foot blade is crafted of plain steel. The hilt and guard are unadorned and purely functional. Overall, Cleaver appears cheap and inconsequential. The true beauty of Cleaver is discovered in battle. Despite its large size, the weapon is surprisingly light and easy to wield. The enchanted blade bypasses all armor and strikes directly at the life force of its target. Unfortunately, it is incapable of affecting any creature without said life force. Therefore, undead and constructs are immune. Cleaver was originally crafted for Dwelnar the Pious, a warrior who aspired to become a paladin. He demanded that the blade be plain and unobtrusive, reflecting his own humility. Only in battle would the weapon show its worth. Unfortunately his enemies soon learned the nature of the blade and unleashed a horde of undead against him. Dwelnar quickly fell in battle and the sword was lost.

Illep, a native of Myth Drannor, used the slender ebon wand to locate the snares and springblades he often encountered during numerous burglaries. Illep was well liked by most people, but a human warrior named Brammel took offense to Illep's foppish manner in a tavern one night. Despite Illep's skill with daggers, the lithe rogue could do little to recover from the axe wound to the upper chest and neck that Brammel dealt him. Brammel was arrested by town guards and the wand was to be returned to Illep's family in Myth Drannor. The small caravan transporting the wand was sacked by human bandits and disappeared from history. STATISTICS: This wand can be used to cast Find Traps for the wielder.

Dullcobble, realizing he had to back his proud words, agreed heartily... but inside, he was struck with fear that he would fail the test. Dullcobble made several attempts to fashion a chopping axe, most of them ending up as cordwood next to his fireplace. In the day before his challenge was to be called due, his only surviving weapon was a lop-sided axe whose haft was widely overbalanced. Realizing that displaying such a weapon would make him the laughing stock of the community, Dullcobble hired a wild mage to take his misshapen axe and turn it into a serviceable weapon. The mage shrugged, took his payment, and promised the axe to Dullcobble on the dawn of the next day. When Dullcobble woke up in the morning, the misshapen axe lay on his doorstep, unchanged, and he had no choice but to take the axe to his challengers... and take his chances. When Dullcobble brought it into the town's meeting hall, the axe's appearance was greeted with derision and laughter. Dullcobble, his face burning, became so angry he threw it at his tormenters - and watched as the haft traveled over the blade's head to smash into a pillar and shatter it, causing the roof to collapse. Dullcobble, slack-jawed with surprise, was knocked unconscious by a falling timber, but the other challengers made it outside without injury. Dullcobble's blow to the head was a serious one, and it turned him into the village idiot - not much of a change from his previous lifestyle. The axe itself was tossed upon a merchant cart headed north, and it was never seen again. Whatever the enchantments the wild mage scrawled on the axe did, it causes the haft to be the first to strike an opponent, doing crushing damage instead of slashing damage.

Although a fearsome-looking weapon, the axe looks like it was intended more for splitting kegs and chopping wood than for use in actual combat, and it looks like it has seen a healthy amount of use felling trees. Kegsplitter was most likely sold to the Gallaway Trade Depot in exchange for foodstuffs and supplies to last Shaengarne Ford through the season.

This greataxe was the only possession of the town executioner, who was reported to never let the blade leave his side, giving it the name of the "Executioner's Wife." As the years passed, however, the town executioner eventually found a willing mistress in one of the town's brothels who seemed untroubled by his profession, and he paid her numerous visits over the following months. When the town authorities came to arrest the harlot (who was actually an accomplished thief) for thefts within the city walls, they found the city executioner in her bed and the woman nowhere to be found. The executioner was implicated in her escape, and his own axe was used to behead him in the town square. The execution had a record turnout, and many agreed that the "executioner's wife" had had her final say on his adultery.

After the residents fled, Craum squatted his old bones down upon the blackened buildings, grumbling to himself and snorting flames from his nostrils. A few hours and several miles away, the residents of Hornhollow finally decided that someone must go negotiate with the dragon and see what it wanted. When no volunteers were forthcoming, a lottery was conducted - and the loser, a traveling ministrel, Aznee Fraystrings, was given the dangerous task of attempting to deal with the dragon. Aznee had lived out his welcome in the camp many nights previous, and the loggers considered it no great loss if Aznee gained a new home in the dragon's belly. Aznee, somewhat absent-minded but of a brave heart, stumbled his way into the camp, and finally mustered the courage to speak with the dragon. During the (now-famous) exchange that followed, Aznee discovered that Craum, who was somewhat far along in dragon years and in none too good health, was suffering the draconic equivalent of a bad cough, and his hacking and wheezing masked his plaintive attempts to try and find someone, anyone, who could help cure his fits of coughing. Seeing a solution, Aznee offered a cure that helped an elderly uncle of his - a sprig of Maiden's Milk flower, that when crushed and administered in a tea, helped quell coughing in a matter of minutes. Some could undoubtably be found in the forest nearby, Aznee exclaimed, and he set about gathering up several sprigs and preparing them for the dragon. After lumping them into a great pot, he administered the steaming cauldron to the dragon. It is suspected that either Craug drank the mixture too fast, or else Aznee had mistaken Bellows Root for Maiden's Milk, but whatever the reason, Craug vomited the mixture back out a few seconds later, setting fire to several acres of the wood and torching poor Aznee where he stood. After this vomitus belch, Craug ran wild for almost an hour, trying to spit out the remainder of the concoction. At the end of his rampage, the venerable red dragon fell over dead, the sudden flurry of activity more than his old bones could stand. When the loggers came to break down the dragon a day later, they discovered that Craum's bones still carried echoes of his coughing fits, and his entire skeleton creaked and wheezed, even after death. They struck a deal with a local mage, who bought the dragon's bones and fashioned a series of musical instruments with them, dubbed the "Pipes of the Wheezing Dragon." These yellow bone pipes are famous throughout the Realms and, when used by a bard, they can be used to spit bursts of flames at opponents. Unfortunately, even when not in use, the pipes tend to creak and wheeze, attracting the attention of anyone nearby and making attempts at stealth and pick pocketing useless. A thin cord made of dragon gut is strung through the pipes, so they can be worn around the neck and can be easily played when danger threatens. The cord looks charred, as if it was burned recently, and is surprisingly tough.

Gleaming eerily from the center of the belt is a circular piece of polished green and cream malachite. The emblem shows, in bas-relief, a fanged, winged serpent with its open mouth facing outward. Small, thick copper loops run between the thick hide and the stone emblem to hold it in place. Two thick steel buckles hold the belt together at the back of the wearer. Investigation reveals that this belt was made four hundred years ago for Factor Dom, a warden for the outer-planar Mercykillers faction. Known throughout the planes for their vicious definition and application of justice, the Mercykillers are strongest in planar cities like Sigil, the City of Doors. Dom was a warden of the Prison, Sigil's dumping ground for criminals. He became legendary within the organization after his involvement in the Great Break. Members of the rebellious Free League engineered the only mass escape from the Prison in its history. Over one hundred prisoners managed to get out of the Prison and escape the Lady's Ward, though hundreds more were turned back to their cells or died in their escape. Dom was stripped of his Factor rank in the Mercykillers for failing to stop the revolt. In addition, he spent five years in the Prison himself. When he was set free, he set out on a thirty-year quest to bring every escaped criminal to justice. By the time Dom had captured, killed, or verified as dead eighty of the one hundred criminals, the remaining twenty banded together to evade him. When Dom reached the age of sixty-seven, he had this belt made for him to augment his failing strength. Three years later, he finally captured the last of the prisoners and brought them, kicking and screaming, all the way back to the cell from which they had escaped thirty years earlier. Dom reported to the current warden, filled out the appropriate paperwork, and fell dead from exhaustion within the hour. STATISTICS: Strength: +2 Weight: 3 lb.

According to legend, the Black Raven is a near mythical figure in Uthgardt legends, a punishing spirit from the underworld who emerged on the surface world many years ago to teach the barbarians humility and break their arrogance. Described as a dark-skinned man with burning eyes and bloodied chains hanging from his wrists, the stories that circle the Black Raven frequently tell of his epic struggles against slavers and injustice throughout the North and the southern kingdoms. Some historians speculate that the Black Raven may have been a drow or half-drow, but others claim that he was a minor or quasi-deity dedicated to ending slavery and oppression. This black sash is made of fine silk, perhaps spider silk, and it is worn looped around the waist. While worn, it helps the wearer focus in combat, freeing his mind of all distractions and channeling his inner energies to defeat his foes. When worn by any class other than a monk, it immediately unknots itself and falls to the ground. STATISTICS: Special: +1 Attack Bonus to all attacks Immunity to Confusion and Feeblemind Weight: 0 lb.

This tome is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to the Ten-Towns nor detail the terrible events that occurred in the Year of the Cold Soul, its intention has been written merely to familiarize the reader with the people and day-to-day life in Easthaven. The town of Easthaven is one of the "Ten Towns" in the region known as Icewind Dale. However, "town" may be a bit misleading for such a small frontier community as Easthaven - at least by southern standards. Although it has experienced a surge of growth in the past few years, Easthaven is little more than a half-moon of modest dwellings clustered around the shores of the icy Lac Dinneshere. The primary industry of Easthaven is the exportation of scrimshaw, a highly sought after craft material obtained from the bones of knucklehead trout, and visitors should not be surprised to find that the overall atmosphere of the town can be summed up as a snowy, frontier fishing village. The buildings of the town are built primarily of timber, and the feel of the town reflects the hearts of the townspeople - nearly everything has a rugged feel to it, somewhat unrefined yet sturdy enough to withstand the harsh climate. Scattered across the town is tremendous evidence of the town's fishing industry; nets, boats, fish racks litter the town in great abundance. Easthaven has been forced to rebuild over the past few years after the terrible events in the Year of the Cold Soul. The Temple of Tempus has been rebuilt, although the relics that were stored within the basement of the temple have been moved south in accordance with the mandate of the high priests of Tempus. Treasure-seekers or fortune hunters who come to Easthaven hoping to find some of the lost relics or arcane items believed to have left behind should be prepared for disappointment as the snows have been picked clean by visiting mages and thieves over the past twenty or thirty years. Any scholars or explorers coming to the region should make sure to visit the town of Kuldahar to see the great oak in its splendor. Despite many attempts to locate them, there have been no documented sightings of the aquatic elves rumored to live in the depths of Lac Dinneshere. It is the author's opinion that the existence of these elves is merely one of the local myths intended to draw traders and settlers to the region. Weight: 1 lb.

Its jagged, snow-capped peaks stretch from the Sword Coast in the west all the way east to the Anauroch Desert, separating the northern region known as Icewind Dale from the warmer and more "civilized" lands to the south. Traditionally, access to Icewind Dale is limited to the caravan route that snakes from the frontier city of Luskan, around the western edge of the Spine of the World, and across the frozen tundra surrounding the Ten Towns of the Dale. However, there exists another route, Kuldahar Pass, that is less traveled due to the inherent dangers of its geography. The route through Kuldahar Pass consists of narrow and winding footpaths, barely wide enough to accommodate pack animals let alone caravan wagons. The steep, snowy ledges of the pass provide enough of an obstacle to deter even the most enterprising of merchants. Factor in the ever-present danger from giants and other denizens of the untamed mountain range, and it's a wonder anyone travels the route at all. Those that do brave the route (and manage to survive) can find a small, secluded valley situated at the heart of the mountain pass. In the center of the valley, in a cold and desolate place where plants and other foliage have no earthly business existing, juts a massive tree over three hundred feet tall. The tree itself is a holy shrine of Silvanus, the Oak Father, the God of Nature and patron deity of Druids. It was he who planted the seed and nurtured this giant oak thousands of years ago when Faerun was first born. The shrine was intended to stand as a testament to the raw power of nature, a monument to its ability to thrive in the face of adversity. For generations the devout followers of Silvanus have tended to the tree, and eventually the shrine became an oracle of sorts, a mystic site where druids throughout the realms could come and seek insight and revelations that would bring them closer to understanding the harmony between nature and man. It was not until the past thirty to forty years that explorers first discovered the Pass and, subsequently, the little valley that housed this massive tree. Tales soon began to spread about the unusual warm weather in this hidden valley, warmth that seemed to emanate from the tree itself. It was only a matter of time before settlers began to arrive, seeking to build homes in a place that was obviously so close to the Gods. At first, the druids sought to protect the holy site from the settlers. The Archdruid in charge of the shrine at the time saw the settlers as an affront to the sanctity and seclusion of the site. For years the druids kept the settlers at bay with barriers of thorny brambles and various druid tricks that kept the common folk in fear of the place. Ultimately, their efforts were in vain. Despite the druids' success at keeping the settlers away from the tree itself, they still would not leave the valley. It wasn't until the succession of Archdruid Tolben, that the situation in Kuldahar Valley finally changed. Tolben, unlike his predecessors, believed that the settlement of the valley was not only inevitable, but it was actually the will of Silvanus. He believed that druids had been wrong in keeping the settlers away and that the Oak Father had intended people to share in the miracle of the Great Oak from the beginning. When he finally became Archdruid, he formed a plan to fulfill the destiny of the sacred site by bringing about a union between the Great Oak and the settlers. It was this union that the Archdruid Tolben believed would achieve the harmony the druids had been striving for generations: the harmony between man and nature. As it stands, Kuldahar is a monument to this vision. The tree and town exist in a natural symbiosis where it is next to impossible to tell where one leaves off and the other begins. As with the small fishing town of Easthaven, Kuldahar became the focus of the terrible war that raged in 1281 DR, the Year of the Cold Soul. Great storms raged across the region, cutting off the Pass, and the circle of warmth around the great oak receded, forcing many of the inhabitants of Kuldahar Valley to abandon their homes and take refuge within the town. Until Hrothgar's expedition from Easthaven finally arrived to rescue the town from the forces brewing in the Spine of the World Mountains, it seemed that the great oak would be destroyed and the town of Kuldahar would be buried in the great snows blanketing the region. Today, Hrothgar's body is said to lie buried in a glen within Kuldahar Pass. The names of the heroes that traveled with him and saved Kuldahar have long since been lost, but their deeds live on, evidence of the persistence and strength of the people of the North.

The Heart of Winter is not an object, but an expression frequently used by the Uthgart tribes of the north to refer to a warrior or creature that has rid itself of all except one driving focus - usually revenge or hatred. The expression is often used to describe the barbarian lord, Wylfdene, who returned to lead the barbarian tribes in a campaign against the Ten-Towns in the Year of the Cold Soul (1281 Dale Reckoning). According to legend, Wylfdene claimed to be the reincarnation of the shaman Jerrod, one of the barbarians' greatest heroes and the one who sacrificed himself in the final battle against the archmage Arakon many hundreds of years ago. Claiming that his body had become home to Jerrod's spirit, Wylfdene rallied the tribes of the North to war to retake the lands that he claimed had been seized by the southerners of the Ten-Towns. Establishing a great war camp in Bremen's Run, a narrow canyon under the shadow of Kelvin's Cairn, he fought several quick battles against the dwarves and townsfolk of the region until a small band of adventurers arrived in the town of Lonelywood to try to carve out a peace between the Ten-Towns and the barbarians. Their efforts at diplomacy are said to have failed, but they succeeded in defeating Wylfdene and saving the Ten-Towns from destruction. It is believed that these adventurers are the only reason the Ten-Towns exist (and thrive) to this day. What happened to these brave adventurers is unknown. The last known record of them is a sighting of them at the Whistling Gallows Inn in Lonelywood, where they spoke with a halfling traveler who claimed to know of a place where great riches could be found. Shortly after this, the adventurers and the halfling vanished and were never heard from again. Weight: 1 lb.

Meeting in the Winter's Cradle Tavern, this band of southerners had traveled north in search of adventure, and they were the first to join Hrothgar's expedition to investigate the rumor of troubles brewing in the great tree town of Kuldahar to the East, where a mighty oak, towering hundreds of feet high, sheltered a small town beneath its boughs with a life-giving warmth. The misfortunes plaguing Icewind Dale led to the ambush of Hrothgar's expedition in the windswept Kuldahar Pass... and it left them the only survivors. Pressing on against goblinoid raiders that filled the Pass, the small band finally reached Kuldahar, only to discover the great tree was being threatened by an unknown evil deep within the mountains - if this evil was not stopped, Kuldahar would be destroyed, and the North itself might soon share the town's fate. The brave band of adventurers searched out this evil, their travels carrying them from the crypts of the Vale of Shadows through the numerous ruins of the North, including the decaying elven fortress of the Severed Hand and the lava-filled caverns of Dragon's Eye. Much of their journey has been lost, but there is no doubt that their efforts led to the salvation of Kuldahar and the Ten-Towns and their deeds are still spoken of in Easthaven and Kuldahar to this day. Hrothgar himself has been laid to rest in a small glen near the town of Kuldahar, in memory of his selflessness in coming to the aid of his neighbor in a time when Easthaven itself was suffering troubles of its own. Among their other acts of heroism, the adventurers are credited with the discovery of the location of the tomb of Kresselack the Black Wolf, one of the most infamous of the Northern generals, the discovery of the Severed Hand, and numerous other monasteries and ruins believed lost to time and the snows of the North.

Straddling the rocky shores of Maer Dualdon and the alpine forest of Lonely Wood from which the town borrowed its name, Lonelywood has the dubious honor of being the northernmost settlement in all of Faerun. The town lies in the shadow of Kelvin's Cairn, and the solitary mountain peak acts as a barrier that shelters both the town and forest against the harsh winds that blow down from the Reghed Glacier. Although the town is protected from the wind, the weather is hardly temperate. Snow still covers the ground nearly year around, and at night the temperature drops below freezing. Lonelywood is one of the youngest of the Ten-Towns. It was only in recent years that it was recognized by the council as the tenth town. Eighty years ago, there was nothing in the way of civilized settlements north of Termalaine and the area surrounding the Lonely Wood was rife with logger camps and lone trappers. With the establishment of the Whistling Gallows Inn, however, Lonelywood gained a sense of permanency, and a small town slowly grew up around the Inn. Not surprisingly, commerce in Lonelywood revolves around lumber. The Lonely Wood is the only respectable forest in all of Icewind Dale (hence the name, Lonely Wood), and all the lumber and byproduct in the Ten-Towns not imported from the south originates from Lonelywood. Unfortunately, the vast majority of wood is imported from the south, which explains why Lonelywood remains such a coarse and isolated community. Its isolated position in the North makes Lonelywood vulnerable to attacks from the barbarian tribes that dwell in the icy plains surrounding the Ten-Towns. It was the first of the towns in the path of the barbarian king Wylfdene and the united tribes of the Bear, the Elk, and the Great Whale in their campaign to drive the townsman from the North. When Wylfdene was defeated by a band of adventurers from Kuldahar, the tribes scattered, and Lonelywood returned to its day-to-day routines not long afterwards. The Whistling Gallows still stands to this day, and the tree outside the Inn has become a post for travelers to carve their names into when they stay the night in Lonelywood. Weight: 1 lb.

The date listed on the cover of the book claims it was written in 1297 DR, fifteen years ago. The script within is written in a tireless, steady hand, and it looks to be part of a larger volume of works. The last page contains a passage worthy of note: "...when the elven fortress of the Severed Hand was shattered by Larrel's attempt to lay a Mythal, both the elven defenders and the armies of the horde that had invaded the halls of the fortress were reduced to shades, doomed to fight a never-ending battle within the great hand. It is something of a intriguing thought to consider what would have happened had Larrel's attempt to lay the Mythal had succeeded, but such speculations can be linked to other speculations concerning the fall of the fortress, including the severed ties with the dwarves of Dorn's Deep, and the growing mistrust between the two races in the face of the threat the horde represented to the two kingdoms and of the North. It cannot be forgotten that, if taken in perspective, even though it cost of the lives of his people, Larrel succeeded in his goals, for the Mythal served to break the back of the Horde's thrust into the Spine of the World. It is the theory and practice of the Mythal that intrigues me and many other scholars to this day. Was it arrogance that led Larrel to believe he could cast such a powerful enchantment believed to be possible only with several archmages working in unison, or was it *truly* possible, and it was only the presence of the Horde within the halls of the Severed Hand that led the enchantment astray? When I first came to the North it was to seek out the Severed Hand and find the remnants of Larrel's work, but it wasn't until a band of glory seekers from Easthaven traveling the region found the ruined elven fortress for me and retrieved a tome from its library that I was truly able to embark upon my research. After confirming that the adventurers had made it safe to walk the halls of the fortress again, I abandoned my tower in Kuldahar to the elements, set Weenog on his way (with instructions to return to his tribe and cause no mischief), and traveled northwards to the fortress."

Found In: AR6006 --- [11BOOKTG.ITM] Traveler's Guide to Icewind Dale The region of Icewind Dale is commonly considered to be the land that lies north of the Spine of the World that has not (yet) been covered by the Reghed Glacier. The name Icewind Dale stems from the great storms that lash the region, storms that strike with such strength and viciousness that they can level buildings and carry away anything not tied down. The weather aside, the region is made more inhospitable by the yetis that roam the tundra, along with the great frost giants, polar worms, and winter wolves that inhabit the region in great numbers. It is frequently said that no sane man travels to Icewind Dale, for it is not the place for civilized folk. During the past many years, however, it has been a lodestone for explorers, greedy rogues, and hardy souls that seek to start a new life far from the southern kingdoms of Faerun, and it has attracted some of the greatest adventurers known in the history of the Realms. To say that it also attracts its share of men on the run from the "restrictive" laws of the south would not be inaccurate, and in recent years, in light of the troubles that occurred in the Ten-Towns of Easthaven and Lonelywood, it has also drawn its share of fortune-seekers, treasure hunters, sages, and historians, all of whom are seeking to exploit the history and past conflicts of the region for their own interests. Many of them do not survive to return home, and ill-prepared curiosity seekers should steer clear of Icewind Dale. The signposts of civilization in Icewind Dale can be found in a collection of frontier settlements called the Ten-Towns, which are clustered around the three lakes in the region: Maer Dualdon, Lac Dinneshere, and Redwaters. The waters of these lakes are home to a rare species of fish known as the knucklehead trout, which thrive in the icy waters of the lakes and provide the Towns with their main industry: fishing. The knucklehead trout are known for their great fist-sized heads, and their bones are of such a white hue (and rare enough) to command a price to rival that of the ivory from the jungles of Chult. Scrimshanders, artisans who carve the heads of the knucklehead trout into sculptures and works of art, are highly respected in Icewind Dale, and there is a great demand for their works as far south as Baldur's Gate. If the Ten-Towns has a heart, it is the walled town of Bryn Shander (one of the only two towns of the Ten that are walled, the other being Targos), and this town is the destination of most travelers in Icewind Dale - or at least those who have no interest in the fishing trade. A narrow trail called the Eastway leads from Bryn Shander to the shores of Lac Dinneshere, where one can find the towns of Caer-Dineval and Caer-Konig on its western flank, and the fishing community of Easthaven to the south. Of these, Easthaven has gained the most notoriety over the past years, most likely due to its role in the conflict that struck the region in the Year of the Cold Soul, 1281 DR and sealed off the town from its brothers. The smallest of the three lakes in the region, Redwaters, is the lake that lies to the south of Lac Dinneshere. It takes its name from the battle waged on the tundra where the towns of Good Mead and Dougan's Hold now stand. To the west and north is Maer Dualdon, the largest of the three lakes in the region, and the home of the remaining four towns of Icewind Dale that cluster about its shores: Termalaine, Targos, Bremen, and Lonelywood. The town of Termalaine is widely regarded as the most beautiful of the settlements, with trees planted within the town and walls built around the homes to shield them from the wind. The town of Bremen lies at the outflow of the river that drains Maer Dualdon into the Shaengarne River and not surprisingly, its position results in a steady stream of barbarians, river traders, and merchants. South of Bremen lies the walled cliff town of Targos, known for its impressive port (for the region), and the standing Targos Guard, one of the largest forces in Icewind Dale. The last and northernmost of the Ten-Towns, the logging community of Lonelywood, is known primarily for its logging industry. Like Easthaven, Lonelywood has also experienced its share of troubles in the past thirty years, and it was feared that the town would be lost when the barbarians began their campaign against the Ten-Towns under the leadership of the barbarian lord Wylfdene in the Year of the Cold Soul. Despite this threat to the region, Lonelywood survived, and even prospered, growing to export lumber throughout the region. Last among the signposts of the region, the great peak of Kelvin's Cairn can be found squatting midway between Lac Dinneshere and Maer Dualdon. According to Uthgart legends, Kelvin's Cairn takes its name from the fallen frost giant Kelvin Duarol, who was slain by the god Tempus. As a warning, Tempus is said to have pulled huge rocks from the plain and piled them atop his foe, both to mark his victory and to warn others of what will befall them should they attempt to cross the God of War.

The great oak is believed to be a gift of the God of Nature, Silvanus, and it is an awe-inspiring sight, towering hundreds of feet into the sky and providing a great circle of warmth to all who live beneath its sheltering limbs. For many, the tree represents a peaceful symbiosis between town and nature, and the tree is revered as a holy site by druids throughout Faerun. When the town of Kuldahar was laid siege by the great evil from the Spine of the World Mountains in the Year of the Cold Soul, 1281 DR, the great tree of Kuldahar was buffeted by the great winds and howling storms blasting the region, causing its circle of warmth to recede and snapping off several limbs from the top of the tree. These limbs were gathered up by the town's residents after the town of Kuldahar was saved, and they were kept in many houses as a symbol of the town's persistence in the face of adversity. Some of these pieces of the great tree have found their way throughout the Ten-Towns, and the limbs still carry some of the warmth and enchantment of the great tree within them, making them powerful weapons.

When held, the chimes ring together, as if stirred by the wind, and no amount of padding or wrapping seems to silence the flail's chiming. When swung in combat, the chimes clash like thunder, having a chance of deafening anyone struck by it. This weapon is all that remains of Slow Cedric's Gallop, a small frontier settlement located in the Southern Pass of the Spine of the World Mountains. The settlement is believed to have been overrun by a tribe of orcs in the great winter of 1170 DR, and when the cold season passed, the settlement and the bodies of the townsfolk had been buried beneath great mountains of snow. When the first travelers braved the Pass in the spring season, they found only the top of the settlement's great stone belltower peeking through the mountainous drifts. This odd-looking flail was found lying upon the tower's bloodied stone floor, surrounded by the frost-dusted bodies of several dead orcs. According to tales, the Black Chimes were a symbol of office of the settlement's Bell Warden, whose duty was two-fold - to ring the warning bell when an enemy was sighted in the pass, and after the warning bell had been rung, to defend the pass with his life. It is believed the first Bell Warden of Slow Cedric's Gallop was the original creator of the Black Chimes, an enchanted flail that would ring to warn the town of danger at the same time as he leapt into battle against his foes.

There are numerous tales (most of them false) about the hoop's origins, but the most common tale says that the hoop was born in the Elfsong Tavern in Baldur's Gate, and that it was the result of an angry wager between two men, one, a quiet wild mage by the name of Dreisbach, and the other, a passionate stevedore by the name of Geithman. Geithman claimed that magic was no substitute for raw strength and determination, and when Dreisbach begged to differ, the bet was decided: whoever could load the most barrels into one of the port warehouses from dawn to dusk would be declared the winner. According to the tale, Dreisbach fashioned the hoop in a single night, and when he arrived at the warehouse the next morning, he drew forth the hoop and spun it on the ground - with every spin, a barrel would suddenly appear in the warehouse. Dreisbach spun the hoop for an hour, until hundreds of barrels were stacked up in the warehouse at a height several lengths of a man, so much so that Dreisbach could no longer be seen behind the walls of barrels. Geithman could not compete with the summoned barrels, and he was about to concede the contest in disgust, when Dreisbach suddenly let out a cry, and there was a clang as the iron hoop clattered to the ground. When Geithman and the onlookers navigated the maze of barrels to the space where Dreisbach had been standing, there was no trace of the mage. Only the hoop remained, lying innocently on the floor. None of those gathered to watch the outcome of the bet dared to touch the hoop. While Dreisbach was declared the winner, every man gathered there that day conceded that Tymora had smiled upon Geithman instead. The warehouse was quickly locked up, and the men quickly retreated to the Elfsong to talk of other things. Where the barrels the hoop summons come from is unknown, but it is recommended that the user exercise caution in the summoning... or else the barrels will have their vengeance.

The text is brief and to the point, as follows: Targos: Three or fewer ships, perhaps a few dozen infantry and archers. Two priests at the temple pavilion, with recruits drawn in from Luskan. The goblin's seizure of the waterways seems to have closed off the passage of further reinforcements. I have heard no mention of planned reinforcements from elsewhere into the city. The diviner in Targos should be taken care of by our friends from Luskan. Bremen: The city should fall soon. Targos is unable to move ships across the bay thanks to our scrag allies. According to wounded soldiers from Bremen, they will not be able to hold out. You should be able to pull in forces from the north without worrying about attacks from Bremen. Bryn Shander: With our forces in the field and the Shaengarne Ford held, the capital is unable to effectively provide the peripheral towns with supplies. The bugbears' use of hit and run tactics against caravans moving between the Ten-Towns has made it almost impossible for them to reinforce each other. Lonelywood has sent almost all of its able-bodied men south to Bryn Shander instead of sending them to Targos. The same has happened in Easthaven. Both towns should be ripe for taking should we choose to enlarge our grasp of the region. Perhaps three to four hundred men wait in Bryn Shander along with a handful of volunteers from Clan Battlehammer. Most of those are militia, with a few experienced mercenaries among them. We need not worry about Silverymoon and the other communities to the east. Only two volunteers have arrived, and those are already out of the action. Weight: 0 lb.

I divined that you would sail in on the Wicked Wench and would make your way here to the Pavilion, and one of your number would search my pockets while I lay here. In a short while, I shall attempt to use the Sight to determine the location of the goblin fortress, and I am writing this note out of fear that obtaining a vision of such a place may tax my spirit greatly, preventing me from returning to the waking world. I have not told the Lady Elytharra of my attempt at divination, for she would surely stop me... and if any others were to know my intentions, they might seek to poison me, for I fear there are traitors within the town that even now turn their eyes to my destruction. For now, my safety - and Targos' safety - lies in silence. If you're reading this and I still breathe, then it's not too late to awaken me. Now that you have found this scroll, I need you to find a flask of braehg which you can purchase from a river trader named Guthewulfe in the Salty Dog Tavern. He should have brought some weapons and other supplies from Shaengarne, but among his inventory will be a flask of braehg which you may purchase.* Bring it to me and place a single drop on my tongue, and within a few minutes, I should awaken from my stupor. Please make haste. I will reward you for your efforts, of course, and even cast your fortunes should you desire it. The reward and my castings will not be forthcoming until I regain consciousness, however. * (Something about "picking Guthewulfe's pockets as you did mine," looks like it was scrawled here, but it looks like Valin had second thoughts and scratched it out.)

The item's history started with the sailor Young Ned of Lonelywood. On one of his fishing trips near Targos, his small boat capsized near the Maer Dualdon shore. He held onto his prize catch, an "unbelievably massive" knucklehead trout, despite being charged by a hungry bear when he reached shore. The bear snatched the majority of the trout away from Ned, leaving him holding the poor fish's tooth-severed head. Ned walked the rest of the way to Targos and kept the head as evidence of his encounter. Over time, Ned started to attribute his good fortune as a sailor to his "lucky knucky". The brigand Marg the Trembler "won" Ned's lucky knucky away from him in a rigged card game. Ned was bitter over being cheated, but he wasn't willing to stand up to Marg to get it back. Marg later used the fish head as currency to buy supplies as he hastily fled from Targos. The man who received the piece of bone held on to it for a few months before handing it off to a friend at the docks. In the years that followed up to the current date, Ned's "lucky knucky" has been traded, won, or sold to over a dozen people in Targos and, once, in Bremen.

This greataxe was the only possession of the town executioner, who was reported to never let the blade leave his side, giving it the name of the "Tale of the Executioner's Wife." As the years passed, however, the town executioner eventually found a willing mistress in one of the town's brothels who seemed untroubled by his profession, and he paid her numerous visits over the following months. When the town authorities came to arrest the harlot (who was actually an accomplished thief) for thefts within the city walls, they found the city executioner in her bed and the woman nowhere to be found. The executioner was implicated in her escape, and his own axe was used to behead him in the town square. The execution had a record turnout, and many agreed that the "executioner's wife" had had her final say on his adultery.

Dullcobble, realizing he had to back his proud words, agreed heartily... but inside, he was struck with fear that he would fail the test. Dullcobble made several attempts to fashion a chopping axe, most of them ending up as cordwood next to his fireplace. In the day before his challenge was to be called due, his only surviving weapon was a lop-sided axe whose haft was widely overbalanced. Realizing that displaying such a weapon would make him the laughing stock of the community, Dullcobble hired a wild mage to take his misshapen axe and turn it into a serviceable weapon. The mage shrugged, took his payment, and promised the axe to Dullcobble on the dawn of the next day. When Dullcobble woke up in the morning, the misshapen axe lay on his doorstep, unchanged, and he had no choice but to take the axe to his challengers... and take his chances. When Dullcobble brought it into the town's meeting hall, the axe's appearance was greeted with derision and laughter. Dullcobble, his face burning, became so angry he threw it at his tormenters - and watched as the haft traveled over the blade's head to smash into a pillar and shatter it, causing the roof to collapse. Dullcobble, slack-jawed with surprise, was knocked unconscious by a falling timber, but the other challengers made it outside without injury. Dullcobble's blow to the head was a serious one, and it turned him into the village idiot - not much of a change from his previous lifestyle. The axe itself was tossed upon a merchant cart headed north, and it was never seen again. Whatever the enchantments the wild mage scrawled on the axe did, it causes the haft to be the first to strike an opponent, doing crushing damage instead of slashing damage.

Although a fearsome-looking weapon, the axe looks like it was intended more for splitting kegs and chopping wood than for use in actual combat, and it looks like it has seen a healthy amount of use felling trees. The Kegsplitter of Shaengarne Ford was most likely sold to the Gallaway Trade Depot in exchange for foodstuffs and supplies to last Shaengarne Ford through the season. While the axe's great size and weight make it slower than a conventional hand-axe, minor wounding and ever-sharp enchantments have been carved into the haft of the axe, allowing it to split kegs and goblins with ease.

After the residents fled, Craum squatted his old bones down upon the blackened buildings, grumbling to himself and snorting flames from his nostrils. A few hours and several miles away, the residents of Hornhollow finally decided that someone must go negotiate with the dragon and see what it wanted. When no volunteers were forthcoming, a lottery was conducted - and the loser, a traveling ministrel, Aznee Fraystrings, was given the dangerous task of attempting to deal with the dragon. Aznee had lived out his welcome in the camp many nights previous, and the loggers considered it no great loss if Aznee gained a new home in the dragon's belly. Aznee, somewhat absent-minded but of a brave heart, stumbled his way into the camp, and finally mustered the courage to speak with the dragon. During the (now-famous) exchange that followed, Aznee discovered that Craum, who was somewhat far along in dragon years and in none too good health, was suffering the draconic equivalent of a bad cough, and his hacking and wheezing masked his plaintive attempts to try and find someone, anyone, who could help cure his fits of coughing. Seeing a solution, Aznee offered a cure that helped an elderly uncle of his - a sprig of Maiden's Milk flower, that when crushed and administered in a tea, helped quell coughing in a matter of minutes. Some could undoubtably be found in the forest nearby, Aznee exclaimed, and he set about gathering up several sprigs and preparing them for the dragon. After lumping them into a great pot, he administered the steaming cauldron to the dragon. It is suspected that either Craug drank the mixture too fast, or else Aznee had mistaken Bellows Root for Maiden's Milk, but whatever the reason, Craug vomited the mixture back out a few seconds later, setting fire to several acres of the wood and torching poor Aznee where he stood. After this vomitus belch, Craug ran wild for almost an hour, trying to spit out the remainder of the concoction. At the end of his rampage, the venerable red dragon fell over dead, the sudden flurry of activity more than his old bones could stand. When the loggers came to break down the dragon a day later, they discovered that Craum's bones still carried echoes of his coughing fits, and his entire skeleton creaked and wheezed, even after death. They struck a deal with a local mage, who bought the dragon's bones and fashioned a series of musical instruments with them, dubbed the "Pipes of the Wheezing Dragon." These yellow bone pipes are famous throughout the Realms and, when used by a bard, they can be used to spit bursts of flames at opponents. Unfortunately, even when not in use, the pipes tend to creak and wheeze, attracting the attention of anyone nearby and making attempts at stealth and pick pocketing useless. A thin cord made of dragon gut is strung through the pipes, so they can be worn around the neck and can be easily played when danger threatens. The cord looks charred, as if it was burned recently, and is surprisingly tough.

War should not be feared, but seen as a natural force, a human force, the storm that civilization brings by its very existence."

The Heart of Winter is not an object, but an expression frequently used by the Uthgart tribes of the north to refer to a warrior or creature that has rid itself of all except one driving focus - usually revenge or hatred. The expression is often used to describe the barbarian lord, Wylfdene, who returned to lead the barbarian tribes in a campaign against the Ten-Towns in the Year of the Cold Soul (1281 Dale Reckoning). According to legend, Wylfdene claimed to be the reincarnation of the shaman Jerrod, one of the barbarians greatest heroes and the one who sacrificed himself in the final battle against the archmage Arakon many hundreds of years ago. Claiming that his body had become home to Jerrod's spirit, Wylfdene rallied the tribes of the North to war to retake the lands that he claimed had been seized by the southerners of the Ten-Towns. Establishing a great war camp in Bremen's Run, a narrow canyon under the shadow of Kelvin's Cairn, he fought several quick battles against the dwarves and townsfolk of the region until a small band of adventurers arrived in the town of Lonelywood to try to carve out a peace between the Ten-Towns and the barbarians. Their efforts at diplomacy are said to have failed, but they succeeded in defeating Wylfdene and saving the Ten-Towns from destruction. It is believed that these adventurers are the only reason the Ten-Towns exist (and thrive) to this day. What happened to these brave adventurers is unknown. The last known record of them is a sighting of them at the Whistling Gallows Inn in Lonelywood, where they spoke with a halfling traveler who claimed to know of a place where great riches could be found. Shortly after this, the adventurers and the halfling vanished and were never heard from again. After reading the closing chapter of the book above, you notice that the top letter in each of the chapters weave together to form a peculiar summoning spell.

Meeting in the Winter's Cradle Tavern, this band of southerners had traveled north in search of adventure, and they were the first to join Hrothgar's expedition to investigate the rumor of troubles brewing in the great tree town of Kuldahar to the North, where a mighty oak, towering hundreds of feet high, sheltered a small town beneath its boughs with a life-giving warmth. The misfortunes plaguing Icewind Dale led to the ambush of Hrothgar's expedition in the windswept Kuldahar Pass... and it left them the only survivors. Pressing on against goblinoid raiders that filled the Pass, the small band finally reached Kuldahar, only to discover the great tree was being threatened by an unknown evil deep within the mountains - if this evil was not stopped, Kuldahar would be destroyed, and the North itself might soon share the town's fate. The brave band of adventurers searched out this evil, their travels carrying them from the crypts of the Vale of Shadows through the numerous ruins of the North, including the decaying elven fortress of the Severed Hand and the lava-filled caverns of Dragon's Eye. Much of their journey has been lost, but there is no doubt that their efforts led to the salvation of Kuldahar and the Ten-Towns and their deeds are still spoken of in Easthaven and Kuldahar to this day. Hrothgar himself has been laid to rest in a small glen near the town of Kuldahar, in memory of his selflessness in coming to the aid of his neighbor in a time when Easthaven itself was suffering troubles of its own. Among their other acts of heroism, the adventurers are credited with the discovery of the location of the tomb of Kresselack the Black Wolf, one of the most infamous of the Northern generals, the discovery of the Severed Hand, and numerous other monasteries and ruins believed lost to time and the snows of the North.

According to legend, the Black Raven is a near mythical figure in Uthgardt legends, a punishing spirit from the underworld who emerged on the surface world many years ago to teach the barbarians humility and break their arrogance. Described as a dark-skinned man with burning eyes and bloodied chains hanging from his wrists, the stories that circle the Black Raven frequently tell of his epic struggles against slavers and injustice throughout the North and the southern kingdoms. Some historians speculate that the Black Raven may have been a drow or half-drow, but others claim that he was a minor or quasi-deity dedicated to ending slavery and oppression. This black sash is made of fine silk, perhaps spider silk, and it is worn looped around the waist. While worn, it helps the wearer focus in combat, freeing his mind of all distractions and channeling his inner energies to defeat his foes. When worn by any class other than a monk, it immediately unknots itself and falls to the ground.

When the town of Kuldahar was laid siege by the great evil from the Spine of the World Mountains in the Year of the Cold Soul, 1281 DR, the great tree of Kuldahar was buffeted by the great winds and howling storms blasting the region, causing its circle of warmth to recede and snapping off several limbs from the top of the tree. These limbs were gathered up by the town's residents after the town of Kuldahar was saved, and they were kept in many houses as a symbol of the town's persistence in the face of adversity.

When swung in combat, the chimes clash like thunder, having a chance of deafening anyone struck by it. This weapon is all that remains of Slow Cedric's Gallop, a small frontier settlement located in the Southern Pass of the Spine of the World Mountains. The settlement is believed to have been overrun by a tribe of orcs in the great winter of 1170 DR, and when the cold season passed, the settlement and the bodies of the townsfolk had been buried beneath great mountains of snow. When the first travelers braved the Pass in the spring season, they found only the top of the settlement's great stone belltower peeking through the mountainous drifts. This odd-looking flail was found lying upon the tower's bloodied stone floor, surrounded by the frost-dusted bodies of several dead orcs. According to tales, the Black Chimes were a symbol of office of the settlement's Bell Warden, whose duty was two-fold - to ring the warning bell when an enemy was sighted in the pass, and after the warning bell had been rung, to defend the pass with his life.

There are numerous tales (most of them false) about the hoop's origins, but the most common tale says that the hoop was born in the Elfsong Tavern in Baldur's Gate, and that it was the result of an angry wager between two men, one, a quiet wild mage by the name of Dreisbach, and the other, a passionate stevedore by the name of Geithman. Geithman claimed that magic was no substitute for raw strength and determination, and when Dreisbach begged to differ, the bet was decided: whoever could load the most barrels into one of the port warehouses from dawn to dusk would be declared the winner. According to the tale, Dreisbach fashioned the hoop in a single night, and when he arrived at the warehouse the next morning, he drew forth the hoop and spun it on the ground - with every spin, a barrel would suddenly appear in the warehouse. Dreisbach spun the hoop for an hour, until hundreds of barrels were stacked up in the warehouse at a height several lengths of a man, so much so that Dreisbach could no longer be seen behind the walls of barrels. Geithman could not compete with the summoned barrels, and he was about to concede the contest in disgust, when Dreisbach suddenly let out a cry, and there was a clang as the iron hoop clattered to the ground. When Geithman and the onlookers navigated the maze of barrels to the space where Dreisbach had been standing, there was no trace of the mage. Only the hoop remained, lying innocently on the floor. None of those gathered to watch the outcome of the bet dared to touch the hoop. While Dreisbach was declared the winner, every man gathered there that day conceded that Tymora had smiled upon Geithman instead. The warehouse was quickly locked up, and the men quickly retreated to the Elfsong to talk of other things. Where the barrels the hoop summons come from is unknown, but it is recommended that the user exercise caution in the summoning... or else the barrels will have their vengeance.

Almost thirty years past, a band of adventurers entered the Vale of Shadows and returned with many relics and treasures taken from the tombs there. Rol-Sayid's Left Hand of Darkness is one such item, though its true purpose was not realized when it was discovered. Considered nothing more than the cast-off bandage of a mummy, it had been used to wrap a gold necklace lying in one of the sarcophagi in the tombs. The necklace's wrapping was discarded as soon as the band of adventurers returned to Kuldahar, and as they cast it away, the adventurers joked that it could serve some little boy as a sling if need be. One of the children of Kuldahar was quick to pick up on this comment, and he kept the sling both for hunting and as a good luck charm for several years. It is not known if he knew if the wrapping was magical or not, and he attributed the accuracy of the stones cast from it as his own natural ability rather than that of the sling. In truth, Rol-Sayid's Left Hand of Darkness is one of the wrappings from the left hand of one of Kresselack's lieutenants, who had been resurrected as a mummy within the tomb of his lord and served as a guardian against trespassers. When a stone is placed within the wrapping and spun with great force, the stone will fly straight and true at an enemy. Furthermore, as long as the wrapping is held in the hand, the wielder is immune to diseases, both magical and mundane.

The tale exemplifies the persistence and strength of the barbarian spirit. When the legions of Arakon the Arch-Mage swept across Icewind Dale, the Tribe of the Bear was among the first of the tribes to meet his assault. Overwhelmed by the superior forces, the barbarians fought bravely, but they were no match for Arakon's forces. One of the tribe's eldest hunters and warriors, Hreidgar, was knocked unconscious during the battle, and he awoke to the sky tearing at his face and the remains of his fellows around him. Of his wife and children, there was no trace, and without a word, Hreidgar took up his great sword and followed the path of Arakon's army, determined to reclaim them and avenge the fallen. Hreidgar was among the first to pledge his blade to the barbarian shaman Jerrod when he united the tribes against Arakon, and he served tirelessly in the great battles ahead, even on the darkest day when Arakon unleashed armies of the hells against Jerrod and the tribes. In every battle, Hreidgar and his greatsword were as one, howling like the wind as he drove his enemies back... and to their deaths. But when Arakon was at last defeated, no trace of Hreidgar's wife and child were to be found. Hreidgar continued his search, and his journey of many years is said to have taken him across the great cliffs of the Reghed Glacier during the Season of Raining Spears, upon the Sea of Moving Ice where he sailed with the Tribe of the Great Whale and fought slavers from the south, and then to his final destination, the small town of Enholm's Point, where he stood with the handful of the town's defenders against the army of Kresselack the Black Wolf. It is said Hreidgar fought so fiercely that Kresselack conceded the field in honor of the warrior - but not before striking the fatal blow that would end the warrior's life. Bleeding from numerous wounds, Hreidgar is said to have wandered north from Enholm's Point, traveling for many miles before collapsing to his knees. With the last of his strength, the old warrior plunged his blade into the ice and said he had finally found what he had been seeking. "Let the sky wander," he proclaimed, "for my travels are done." When the townsfolk of Enholm's Point returned the next day to carry his body away, they found Hreidgar, but his blade had vanished. It is said that the blade now wanders as the sky wanders, finding its way to others with long journeys before them... and guiding them to their final destination, whatever it may be.

It was during one of his foraging expeditions that he surprised a group of dwarven miners of the Brueghor Clan who were new to the region. Before Gohji could raise his hands to show he meant them no harm, an enchanted warhammer shattered his knee, causing him to plummet to the ground.

As mentioned, the rangers and druids living here have littered these foothills with traps - I heard some of those murderous giants complaining about them, but I know not why.

It hath been a tough life, to be sure - even from birth. Being part of conjoined triplets, separated at the brink of death, has its boons and banes - as does any aspect of life I suppose. I can hear my sisters' thoughts and feel their pain, but never have I known what it means to be alone - truly alone... Luskan was a gruff town - unforgiving, even if viewed in its best light. 'Tis certainly no place for three innocent, little women, but the bond we shared kept us together and alive. Our parents were never around - always chasing the latest job offer or most-favorable rumor just to make ends meet. With ruffians, bandits, and creatures of the night lurking in every shadowy corner, there were no individuals we could respect... except one - Lysan... Lysan, a priestess of Auril and fellow Luskanite, shone like a celestial beacon across a sea of eternal darkness, and became our idol and inspiration with little effort. Her goodwill and fortitude we adored - her adventurousness we admired. What greatness the four of us would hath achieved - how noble our exploits would hath been in spreading our seeds of compassion throughout the winter land, only to watch them blossom into flowers of love come spring! The goal was as clear as a crystal trapped within a drop of ice, until... Where was I when the news pierced our hearts like a javelin hurled from the Nine Hells Itself...? Lysan... poor, sweet Lysan was slaughtered, like a diseased goblin, in Kresselack's Tomb by a band of villains in heroes' clothing. Why?! Because of her beliefs?! Thirty years hath passed, yet the pain lingers. At that moment a new goal emerged - her path was now ours, and we immediately joined the church of Auril in town... Our ambition quickly dwarfed that small temple, so we headed east to join Auril's Breath in Glister. Ironically that congregation proved too large for us, so we headed north to establish a church of our own, as well as retrace the steps of our martyr, Lysan. Reinforcing our decision to travel north, we had also heard that the mysterious demon twins we knew of in Luskan were also in that area, so we undoubtedly had to see if those rumors were true... En route we stumbled upon an envoy from the Legion of the Chimera and were eventually led to Madae. Despite our humanity, the four of us became instant, though reserved, friends, and 'twas soon obvious that her wants, needs, and desires complimented our own... The deal was simple - if we guarded the Western Pass against reinforcements to the Ten-Towns, they would destroy Kuldahar and give us its precious Heartstone Gem. The pieces of our plan were falling into place - all we needed was the right time to seal them together... That time came during our Coming Storm festival when my sisters and I led our newly formed congregation of one hundred strong in a prayer so profound, Auril Herself blessed us with Her embrace. The glacier was thus born. All that remained was the temple's creation - *our* temple - which Nickademus, arch-architect, honored guest and former lover of Oria accomplished with impressive speed and skill... What an oddity - this temple of his. Even *I* get lost from time to time. The dais is an interesting concept, but why must I turn it left north, then right all the way around again just to unleash the abishai to do my bidding? Still, no effort is too great in pleasing Great Auril by sacrificing prisoners to her to keep the glacier from melting... Time is short, so the painting - though it seems to possess a mind of its own - is useful when I must quickly cleanse myself before speaking to the Frostmaiden... The prism is a dangerous device, but what Lady Sherincal wants she gets - still, it keeps prying eyes away from Mother Winter and our treasury, so perchance I judge it too harshly... Oria's Game Room is a waste of time to me - I hath no time for meaningless combat and see no reason to enter the ethereal realm while confined to its limited boundary. And *why* Nickademus would install a Mirror of Life Trapping eludes all logic and common sense...! Nickademus... I wish I could trust him - he does not walk our path. For his sake, I hope he does not betray us again... Weight: 5 lb.

In fact, one of these little niceties is a dais High Priestess Lysara uses in that ritual of hers - not sure what that ritual is, but I bet I'll soon find out! Oh yes - the dais... so far I've found that it can be rotated clockwise by pushing on its right side, and rotated the opposite direction by pushing on its left.

Ergo, from now on keep all males away from her until further notice. Have her guard the blockade if you'd like. Regarding the males, keep training them to dig through the ice. We'll need to excavate larger areas while Nickademus regains his strength so he can build Legionnaire outposts. Always remember to keep them well rested and well fed; otherwise they'll be useless to us, and may pose a serious threat. Feel free to train one of them to attack or follow you if you feel in need of protection. Furthermore, my DELICATE crystal golems are rather expensive and are NOT sources of your amusement!

Just one item from his astounding list of enchanted dungeoneering equipment is his Everlasting Torch. A magical lantern fashioned in the shape of an elaborate wooden torch, the item burns with a bright orange flame that cannot be extinguished - whether dunked in water, buried under several feet of rock, or smashed over the head of a soggy marsh-troll, Belib's Everlasting Torch simply will not be put out. When Belib finally finished the last of his items, he crammed them all into a giant pack - enchanted to hold far more than Belib could normally carry himself, of course - and heaved it onto his shoulders, prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. As Belib crossed the threshold of his dwelling he tripped... and the tiny gnome was instantly crushed beneath his enormous backpack. The bag burst open, its contents scattering across the Waterdeep street where Belib had lived and rapidly vanishing into the hands of various good-for-nothing passersby. Belib's corpse was eventually taken to a temple and raised by a kind-hearted priestess, but by then the last of Belib's enchanted items... and most of the contents of his home... were long gone. Grateful but understandably upset, Belib fashioned a number of unique magical items for the priestess before returning to his family and homeland, forever vanishing from the surface world.

Milton belonged to a local thieves guild in the mining city of Mirabar, and thus was tasked with petty thievery of coin purses and the occasional gem. All was well enough by Milton's ordinary standards, until one day when a thief of notable magical prowess transferred to Milton's guild. The guild master assigned this new thief to be Milton's partner in crime, aiding him in his petty, but profitable dirty deeds. Little did Milton know that his new partner was not satisfied with petty thievery. In fact, it was his partner's higher ambition that almost got Milton in trouble with the local authorities. During thieving assignments with his new partner, Milton began to perform very risky acts of larceny, and not through his own will. It was as if someone else had control of Milton's body and used him to carry out the acts. Luckily for Milton, he was able to perform the higher risk activities, but he knew that one day his luck would run out. So, one day when Milton was feeling more proactive than usual, he took the day off from thieving and ventured to a Dwarven armorsmith who resided in one of the upper Mirabar mining tunnels. There, with his extra earnings from unwillingly performing his more dangerous thieving, he commissioned the dwarf to upgrade his studded leather and give it the power to ward off other's charms. The dwarf complied and ended up upgrading Milton's ordinary studded leather into fine, extra tough studded leather that made the wearer immune to just about every spell that affected the mind. Not long after Milton began wearing the armor, he discovered his new partner was the one who cast the spell Charm Person on him and made him take all the extra risks. The last time his partner tried to charm Milton, he (Milton) played along as if he were charmed, snuck up behind his partner, and slit his throat with an ordinary, poisoned dagger. From then on, Milton was very pleased to go back to ordinary, petty thievery, though no more partners were ever assigned to Milton Sixtoes.

There, with his extra earnings from unwillingly performing his more dangerous thieving, he commissioned the dwarf to upgrade his studded leather and give it the power to ward off other's charms. The dwarf complied and ended up upgrading Milton's ordinary studded leather into fine, extra tough studded leather that made the wearer immune to the spell Charm Person. Not long after Milton began wearing the armor, he discovered his new partner was the one who cast the spell Charm Person on him and made him take all the extra risks. The last time his partner tried to charm Milton, he (Milton) played along as if he were charmed, snuck up behind his partner, and slit his throat with an ordinary, poisoned dagger. From then on, Milton was very pleased to go back to ordinary, petty thievery, though no more partners were ever assigned to Milton Sixtoes.

Perhaps most important to the typical adventurer is that the barrow wight generally prefers to wield whatever weapon it carried in life rather than using its life-draining touch in battle. However, in rare instances the seething hatred and unnatural power of a barrow wight somehow seeps into the weapon it carries. Such items can be especially dangerous as the wight's curse is added to whatever enchantments the weapon may already possess. This is one such blade.

Kellem hunted wyverns, drakes, and other wyrms of all sorts, especially those that made to attack the Ten-Towns or their outlying settlements. The grizzled ranger took many trophies - in time, little of his equipment was not adorned with one kind of wyrm or another. Kellem's most prized trophy, though, was from Frostmaw, a great white wyrm whose size and ferocity matched that of a true dragon's. While in its death-throes, Frostmaw's jaws and icy breath took Kellem's left eye and ear - for this, the grim ranger swore vengeance on all its cursed ilk. Upon his return to civilization, Kellem had Frostmaw's wide jaws fashioned into an elaborate helm and imbued with the white wyrm's deadly breath. This helm the ranger christened "Wyrm's Maw." Alas, in time Kellem grew old as all men do, and one day set out on a dangerous hunt in the peaks of the Spine of the World never to return. Until now, none of his equipment has ever been found.

Most of its hollowed length consists of a series of compartments holding poisonous powders, spring-loaded darts, weighted chains, jutting spikes, entangling hooks, and various other concealed weapons. When used in combat there is always a chance that one or more of the staff's nasty little "tricks" will be sprung upon an unwary opponent. However, great care must be taken in its use - the weapon can easily harm the casual wielder. Ryomaru himself carried the staff on only three missions, eventually leaving it in the care of the Hojori Temple - a Kumo clan front - and moving on to even more cunning and dangerous weapons. When the renowned thief "Chicken" Wu Wei - so named for the falcon tattoo on his chest - burglarized the temple, the Kumo were quick to uncover his involvement and track him back to his homeland in Shou Lung. Wu Wei was forced to flee across the sea to escape their wrath, prompting the dispatch of three more bands of Kumo assassins: one to cross the Eastern Ocean to find Wu Wei, a second to slay the original group that had failed to catch him in Shou Lung, and a third to torture and then execute Wu Wei's every living relative. "Chicken" Wu Wei retired comfortably on the coast of the Western Heartlands, running a small tobacco shop and only occasionally thinking of his father in Shou Lung, a gambling drunkard who'd beaten Wu Wei's mother and only sister to death when he was a child.

The monastery was built in the year 1181, founded by a half-human, half-drow slave who escaped his cruel masters in the underdark, fighting his way to the surface world and freedom with nothing more than his bare hands and the very chains that once bound them. The half-drow's name was Valas Belaem Del Pharm - Valas, Slave of Pharm. As a child Valas was a house-servant of the Leun, but soon grew into a lean and powerful young adult. While most families are reluctant to keep such dangerous slaves, Valas was lost in a wager to an opposing family - the Pharm - who kept him alive simply to spite the Leun. Valas became the greatest champion of the Pharm's gladiator stable - in fact, the greatest of all of the Rilauven stables - before he escaped. It was then, during the decades spent in the dark city's majestically spired arena of blood sports, that Valas developed his legendary fighting skills. The book goes on to recount in detail how Valas escapes, surfacing in the Spine of the World at the headwaters of the Black Raven River. The first men he comes across are the Uthgardt barbarians of the Black Raven Tribe at Raven Rock. The barbarians don't know what to make of Valas, who shows up out of nowhere with crimson eyes, jet-black skin and hair to match, half-naked and with bloody chains dangling from his wrists. Naturally, their bravest attack... and are promptly defeated. The barbarians think him a spirit warrior sent to punish their arrogance and christen him the Black Raven, a name that Valas takes as his own. They're later saddened but slightly relieved to see him leave. Valas travels the world as the Black Raven, fights against slavery and imprisonment wherever it's found (making a great deal of enemies in the process), collects a throng of loyal students, teaches them his ideals and martial techniques, and eventually returns with them to the Spine of the World to build the Black Raven Monastery. He eventually dies quietly of old age, is interred beneath the monastery in a tomb near the underground headwaters of the Black Raven River, and with that his story ends. Weight: 2 lb.

He was much loved by his family, servants, and those that lived upon his lands. Well after the elderly Lord Mensel had passed away in his sleep, a secret vault was found hidden beneath his study. Within the vault Mensel's heirs found a small hoard of treasure... and the Obscene Grimoire. Though the origins of the grimoire and the identity of anyone associated with it - save the late Lord Mensel, of course - are still unknown, unwholesome rumors sprang up like mushrooms and still abound after nearly a century. The worst of the scandalous claims involved a seer from Arabel, a pious young man that seemed saddened to explain that Lord Mensel had the grimoire fashioned for himself at great expense and then slew all those involved in its making - an assertion that did no less than bring ruin to Mensel's name and family. The unsavory book was cast into a temple brazier but, to the astonishment of numerous witnesses, it vanished in a cloud of foul-smelling vapor rather than bursting into flames. Since that day the Obscene Grimoire has appeared in many places, never found intentionally and always disappearing again within a few year's time. The thick, black, leather-bound book is filled with painstakingly detailed woodblock prints, each depicting a gruesome scene of violent perversion. Even the briefest of glances through its disturbing pages is enough to assure the reader that no taboo is left unturned. However, for those willing to carefully peruse the disquieting work, there are dark runes and ritual directions hidden amongst the illumination around each print. Those so inclined are able to use the power of Mensel's Obscene Grimoire to summon a cacofiend, bound to the reader's service, one time before the book vanishes.

When Sulo and crew made to steal the Leberm family jewels from a small transport ship off the coast of Port Llast, they found themselves confronted by a group of experienced adventurers hired on as guards. One in particular fought like a devil, wielding a matched set of finely wrought dueling blades. The unnamed adventurer slew many of Sulo's men and, coming to clash with the corsair captain himself, severed Sulo's left hand. "Baron" Sulo would have died that day were it not for a stray ballista round from the Leberm ship - the enormous spear struck the unlucky swordsman squarely and carried him over the side of Sulo's ship in a flash.

Sulo elected to graft the swordsman's parrying blade to the stump of his left wrist in the place of a common hook.

When Ormis refused to side with the Legion of the Chimera, Dolon was commanded to seduce and corrupt Aruma and then see to it that the monastery kept out of the Legion's affairs. Weight: 0 lb.

He was much loved by his family, servants, and those that lived upon his lands. Well after the elderly Lord Mensel had passed away in his sleep, a secret vault was found hidden beneath his study. Within the vault Mensel's heirs found a small hoard of treasure... and the Vile Grimoire Pervertere. Though the origins of the grimoire and the identity of anyone associated with it - save the late Lord Mensel, of course - are still unknown, unwholesome rumors sprang up like mushrooms and still abound after nearly a century. The worst of the scandalous claims involved a seer from Arabel, a pious young man that seemed saddened to explain that Lord Mensel had the grimoire fashioned for himself at great expense and then slew all those involved in its making - an assertion that did no less than bring ruin to Mensel's name and family. The unsavory book was cast into a temple brazier but, to the astonishment of numerous witnesses, it vanished in a cloud of foul-smelling vapor rather than bursting into flames. Since that day the Obscene Grimoire has appeared in many places, never found intentionally and always disappearing again within a few year's time. The thick, black, leather-bound book is filled with painstakingly detailed woodblock prints, each depicting a gruesome scene of violent perversion. Even the briefest of glances through its disturbing pages is enough to assure the reader that no taboo is left unturned. However, for those willing to carefully peruse the disquieting work, there are dark runes and ritual directions hidden among the illumination around each print. Those so inclined are able to use the power of Mensel's Obscene Grimoire to summon a cacofiend, bound to the reader's service, once per day.

When Sulo and crew made to steal the Leberm family jewels from a small transport ship off the coast of Port Llast, they found themselves confronted by a group of experienced adventurers hired on as guards. One in particular fought like a devil, wielding a matched set of finely wrought dueling blades. The unnamed adventurer slew many of Sulo's men and, coming to clash with the corsair captain himself, severed Sulo's left hand. "Baron" Sulo would have died that day were it not for a stray ballista round from the Leberm ship - the enormous spear struck the unlucky swordsman squarely and carried him over the side of Sulo's ship in a flash. All that remained of him was his elaborate parrying blade, left spinning on the deck as if he'd never been there. Sulo elected to graft the swordsman's parrying blade to the stump of his left wrist in the place of a common hook. When Sulo was killed some nine years later, the blade was interned with him in a concealed tomb along with a substantial quantity of gems and coins. Despite the "secret" nature of Sulo's final resting place, the site was quickly plundered and "Baron" Sulo's Hook passed into hands of other men.

The raised surface of the amulet features the arrow and hexagon glyph of House Despana. Malavon Despana crafted the amulet for his brother, Ilmryn. Legends state that when Malavon and his allies in the church of Vhaeraun attacked the Lolth matriarchy, he had to face his brother, then the Weapons Master of House Despana, in a pitched battle. Just as Ilmryn gained the upper hand, Malavon uttered a secret word that invoked an unknown power within the amulet. Ilmryn was surrounded by a magical barrier that protected him from harm. Since it was ostensibly a beneficial magical effect, Ilmryn's natural magic resistance did not help him resist the amulet's power. When the Weapons Master emerged from the protective sphere, he found himself face to face with over a dozen of the most powerful tanar'ri he had ever seen. He died screaming, cursing his brother's name.

Most of the book is filled with various alchemical formulae, surgical procedures, chemical treatments and the like to be given to the inanimate golem before it is awakened. In the final chapter, however, she details the creation of the Sanguis Anima, a fluid necessary in the animation of such an enhanced golem. Once the fluid is injected into the creature and the golem is blasted with electricity, it will awaken to serve its new masters. There is a warning, however - the modified golem will not be able to stand the touch of direct sunlight. Using this tome and with the proper chemicals - the author mentions a variety of giant fungi spores in addition to other more typical reagents - and access to an alchemical laboratory, a skilled wizard or alchemist could probably concoct the Sanguis Anima.

Their contents revolve largely around the theoretical application of the Sanguis Anima - an alchemical fluid she uses in the process of animating a flesh golem - as a means of physically invigorating or extending the lifespan of a living creature. Imphraili clearly states that the procedure would be insanely dangerous and that only a dedicated practitioner of the art of transmutation could carry it out; it requires the imbiber to magically alter the state of the Sanguis Anima - normally deadly poison to any mortal humanoid - as it courses through his or her blood. Using these notes and with the proper chemicals - the Sanguis Anima in particular - and access to an alchemical laboratory, a skilled transmuter with a taste for danger could probably perform the procedure.

Scribbled in painstakingly small, cryptic shorthand, it is for the most part entirely illegible. The most recent entries seem to revolve around the project's success, boasting that the Viciscamera is entirely functional and now requires only the slightest of biomagical alterations to perfect. The writer seems particular proud of the Viciscamera project's natural and magical defenses... with its tough, ensorcelled hide and exhalation sacs of airborne corrosive gas, the thing seems nigh indestructible. Hastily scratched notes in a sidebar mention a possible weakness, however: one could possibly create an enchanted poison that would turn the Viciscamera's defenses upon itself, essentially forcing it to self-destruct. In addition to the required range of somewhat typical alchemical reagents, the author mentions a variety of giant fungi spores and "a curious, silvery fluid similar in consistency to mercury." Using these notes and with the proper chemicals and access to an alchemical laboratory, a skilled wizard, alchemist, or maker of poisons could probably concoct a magical, specially-tailored conversion poison capable of destroying the Viciscamera project.

One of the more recent decipherable entries, however, is of some interest: Malavon wrote of the Z'hinda citadel, a drow stronghold that fell into the hands of the illithid - mind flayers. The citadel's gates are magically sealed, nigh impossible to open from without. The drow had intended to assault the citadel's guards, prompting them to open the gates to summon more thralls and thus expose the citadel interior. However, with the arrival of so many driders in the area, the gate guards withdrew into the citadel and have yet to return. Malavon is certain that if the number of driders can be reduced, the citadel guards will return to their position at Z'hinda's gates. To this end, he planned to find and destroy whatever it is that is responsible for the driders' sudden increase in numbers. Weight: 1 lb.

Three small holes, surrounded by almost-vanished bloodstains, sit squarely in the back of the cloak. The cloak used to belong to Malfeem, ill-fated Weapons Master and short-lived Patron of House Despana. Malfeem was the father of Malavon Despana, Master of Rilauven's Sorcere Academy of Magic. Malfeem died in an attack on a rival house fifty years ago. Rumors within Rilauven state that the daughters of House Despana engineered Malfeem's death because he had gained too much influence over their Matron Mother. The cloak has rested in the House Despana treasury since he died. Forty years ago, it was worn for a single night by Matron Despana's new Patron, who fancied himself the finest warrior in Rilauven. The sentimentality of the Matron for Malfeem had not faded, and the Patron was flayed to death on the spot. STATISTICS: Resistance: 2/- Fire Resistance Hide skill: +2 Weight: 1 lb.

At a very young age, Drakkas was kidnapped by a Drow raiding party and brought up by the Drow to be a pit fighter. At first he fought his fellow kidnap victims in the pits. However, over time, his fellow abductees died from their wounds and poor treatment, thus leaving Drakkas alone to eventually fight monsters of the Drow's choosing. Drakkas persevered, fueled by his ever-growing hatred for his captors, the hopes of one day escaping and then taking revenge on his kidnappers. One day Drakkas got his wish - he was able to escape by stealing his jail cell keys from his lazy night guard, and then stealthfully slipping out into the unforgiving Underdark. He managed to steal a couple of scimitars on his way out, which he put to good use while circumventing the twisted corridors of the Underdark. When he emerged on the surface, he immediately sought out his Moon Elf kin. Unfortunately, when he found his kin, they ostracized him due to his horrendous battle scars. Embittered and outcast, he made it his mission in life to exact the most painful revenge possible on his kidnappers. Drakkas diligently trained in the dark magics, and continued his formidable weapons training as well. When he got to the point where he felt he was ready, he began to sell his services as a mercenary to earn coin and buy better equipment. One thing in particular he eventually wanted was lightweight chain mail that would not interfere with his spell casting. Luck was with him the day he found a Dwarven armorsmith who could accommodate Drakkas' needs. It was not long after until the armor was finished and Drakkas was ready for his mission of revenge. Drakkas disappeared from the people who knew him and utilized his mercenary services, and ventured into the depths of the Underdark, where he was never heard from again. However, his special armor did somehow make it out of the Underdark. No one knows how, but speculation has it that the return of Drakkas' chain mail to the surface world was a subtle message from the Drow. The message, of course, was left to the imagination of the interpreter.

Kyndor was also a remarkable armor and weaponsmith. Everything he forged had some kind of connection to Icewind Dale. In fact, his very armor, forged by his own hands, seemed to have its own life, and that life was very protective of Kyndor. Often times, during battle, his armor seemed to harness the elements of the Dales and retaliate against Kyndor's attackers. Over time, Kyndor's armor attained the nickname of Glacial Resislience, due to the fact that all who wore the armor seemed as impenetrable as a glacier and just as deadly cold.

Feeling different and un-whole due to her breeding, she rarely had any interaction with other people except when she was summoned to aid in a crisis. Although she did not care for the company of others, she was more than eager to aid those in peril. However, after helping others, she would quickly return to her solitary ways, despite the general tolerance exhibited by the locals in Neverwinter. One special event that called for her ranger skills came and changed her life forever. An elderly female cleric of Eilistraee came to Maya and asked her aid in tracking down and destroying a demon that was tormenting her flock. Maya eagerly accepted the quest, put on her splint mail armor, secured her sword, and followed the cleric through the woods. After a day's travel, the cleric stopped at a small clearing between four towering trees. In the middle of the clearing was a small pond of water no wider than a yard. The cleric turned to Maya and said that the demon could be seen in the pond. Doubting, Maya approached the pond and peered in. The only thing Maya saw was her own reflection, and she stated that fact rather tersely to the cleric. The cleric smirked a bit and replied by saying that the demon was her reflection. In fact, the cleric pointed out that the demon was responsible for Maya's solitude and self-pity, and that the only one who was concerned about Maya's mixed breeding was Maya. Maya scoffed at the cleric, told her that she did not know what she was talking about, turned and started to head back in the direction they came. The cleric shouted back, which startled Maya, and declared that she understood more than Maya could ever know. It was at that point that the elderly cleric revealed herself to be Maya's mother. Maya again scoffed, stating that her mother died long ago. The cleric bowed her head and replied that yes, she did die, but that she was granted the grace of Eilistaee to seek out Maya and aid her - aid her in destroying the demon of self-pity and solitude. The cleric then went on to say that Maya would never find sanctuary by alienating herself from the company of others, but that sanctuary comes from within. Once Maya could accept who she was, what she was, and the fact that there were many out in the world like her and who were willing to embrace her, then sanctuary would follow her, always. Then, in a brief flash of light, the cleric was gone, leaving Maya to stew with the wisdom of the old cleric - her mother. Maya thought on what her mother said, and soon tried to implement her mother's wisdom. After a few months, Maya found her inner sanctuary, and became more powerful because of it. In fact, that power was also absorbed by her splint mail armor. All those who donned Maya's splint mail felt a peace flow through their being. People found their own personal sanctuary within that armor, which soon became known as Sanctity.

Forged from the finest metals and enchanted with Boopie's secret recipe magics, Tuqak's new armor looked more like a museum showpiece rather than practical combat armor. The steel strips shone with a silver brilliance and each rivet sparkled like fresh cut diamonds. When Tuqak put the armor on, he immediately felt more vigorous and alive. Unfortunately for Tuqak, this new armor also made him overconfident, which summarily caused his demise in a later battle.

Could it be he thinks I hold Isair and Madae's words with more weight than his doctrines...? I MUST prove him wrong. The visions show an ancient blade that has slain six... six companions of vile hearts who were once in Bane's service in the distant past. The six were known as the Lost Followers, and from what I can see in my visions, they now lie in screaming prisons upon the Ethereal Plane. If they are to be set free, the blade MUST be recovered and destroyed... if I cannot find it, then I fear I shall join them in their undead prisons. - - - I have come to the glen shown to me in the visions, but the accursed blade that murdered the Lost Followers eludes me! Something within Kuldahar is preventing my scrying efforts, and without the visions to guide me, I cannot hope to recover the consecration medallion and tear the blade from the graves within the Glen... whichever damned one it is! Give me something to KILL as my challenge, not this endless hunting and searching, and I will prove that I serve Bane's will! - - - In a fit of rage, I have raised many dead in the Glen to do my will and used my powers to tear answers from them, but of the blade and the medallion's fate, the dead know *nothing*... but speak much of the serpents that have passed through the valley of late. Could it be that somehow Cedra or one of her half-breed minions secured the medallion and even now hold it in one of their chambers, unaware of its true purpose?! If so, I may need to wrest it from them by force... which would break my allegiance to the Chimera and destroy everything that we have worked for. Is it Bane's will that the Chimera's spine be broken? But the potential of their strength... allied with Bane, of course... would bring the North and the lands beyond to its knees! The elves, dwarves, humans, all crushed, burned, their ashes scattered to the winds! But, I must be mindful - the will of the Black Lord is not for me to question... or to know. - - - It has been many days, and I have sent the dead into the Valley to slay whatever humans they can find. Yet... with every day that passes in the Glen, I can feel the presence of the Lost Followers, clawing at the material plane, waiting to be freed. I fear that simply finding the blade will bring them howling to this place... and they may be beyond all reason when they are summoned. If so, then I had best have Bane's protections about me, or else the Six will level Kuldahar and the lands around in revenge for dying at the blade's hands. I may be forced to destroy them against my Lord's will. Could that be my challenge? Whatever the reason, I MUST find the blade, and find it soon, before its powers are unearthed by one who stands against the Legion of the Chimera... and Bane... and if the blade should find its way into the hands of a holy warrior, then ALL is lost.

At a very young age, Drakkas was kidnapped by a Drow raiding party and brought up by the Drow to be a pit fighter. At first he fought his fellow kidnap victims in the pits. However, over time, his fellow abductees died from their wounds and poor treatment, thus leaving Drakkas alone to eventually fight monsters of the Drow's choosing. Drakkas persevered, fueled by his ever-growing hatred for his captors, the hopes of one day escaping and then taking revenge on his kidnappers. One day Drakkas got his wish - he was able to escape by stealing his jail cell keys from his lazy night guard, and then stealthfully slipping out into the unforgiving Underdark. He managed to steal a couple of scimitars on his way out, which he put to good use while circumventing the twisted corridors of the Underdark. When he emerged on the surface, he immediately sought out his Moon Elf kin. Unfortunately, when he found his kin, they ostracized him due to his horrendous battle scars. Embittered and outcast, he made it his mission in life to exact the most painful revenge possible on his kidnappers. Drakkas diligently trained in the dark magics, and continued his formidable weapons training as well. When he got to the point where he felt he was ready, he began to sell his services as a mercenary to earn coin and buy better equipment. One thing in particular he eventually wanted was lightweight chain mail that would not interfere with his spell casting. In addition, he wanted his chain mail to actually enhance his fighting abilities. Luck was with him the day he found a Dwarven armorsmith who could accommodate Drakkas' needs. It was not long after until the armor was finished and Drakkas was ready for his mission of revenge. Drakkas disappeared from the people who knew him and utilized his mercenary services, and ventured into the depths of the Underdark, where he was never heard from again. However, his special armor did somehow make it out of the Underdark. No one knows how, but speculation has it that the return of Drakkas' chain mail to the surface world was a subtle message from the Drow. The message, of course, was left to the imagination of the interpreter.

Not only did Kyndor call Icewind Dale his home, but he also had a special connection to the Dales - it was a part of him - not just a part of his body, but of his very soul. Kyndor was also a remarkable armor and weaponsmith. Everything he forged had some kind of connection to Icewind Dale. In fact, his very armor, forged by his own hands, seemed to have its own life, and that life was very protective of Kyndor. Often times, during battle, his armor seemed to harness the elements of the Dales and retaliate against Kyndor's attackers. Over time, Kyndor's armor attained the nickname of Glacial Storm, due to the fact that all who wore the armor seemed as impenetrable as a glacier and just as deadly cold.

Feeling different and un-whole due to her breeding, she rarely had any interaction with other people except when she was summoned to aid in a crisis. Although she did not care for the company of others, she was more than eager to aid those in peril. However, after helping others, she would quickly return to her solitary ways, despite the general tolerance exhibited by the locals in Neverwinter. One special event that called for her ranger skills came and changed her life forever. An elderly female cleric of Eilistraee came to Maya and asked her aid in tracking down and destroying a demon that was tormenting her flock. Maya eagerly accepted the quest, put on her splint mail armor, secured her sword, and followed the cleric through the woods. After a day's travel, the cleric stopped at a small clearing between four towering trees. In the middle of the clearing was a small pond of water no wider than a yard. The cleric turned to Maya and said that the demon could be seen in the pond. Doubting, Maya approached the pond and peered in. The only thing Maya saw was her own reflection, and she stated that fact rather tersely to the cleric. The cleric smirked a bit and replied by saying that the demon was her reflection. In fact, the cleric pointed out that the demon was responsible for Maya's solitude and self-pity, and that the only one who was concerned about Maya's mixed breeding was Maya. Maya scoffed at the cleric, told her that she did not know what she was talking about, turned and started to head back in the direction they came. The cleric shouted back, which startled Maya, and declared that she understood more than Maya could ever know. It was at that point that the elderly cleric revealed herself to be Maya's mother. Maya again scoffed, stating that her mother died long ago. The cleric bowed her head and replied that yes, she did die, but that she was granted the grace of Eilistaee to seek out Maya and aid her - aid her in destroying the demon of self-pity and solitude. The cleric then went on to say that Maya would never find sanctuary by alienating herself from the company of others, but that sanctuary comes from within. Once Maya could accept who she was, what she was, and the fact that there were many out in the world like her and who were willing to embrace her, then sanctuary would follow her, always. Then, in a brief flash of light, the cleric was gone, leaving Maya to stew with the wisdom of the old cleric - her mother. Maya thought on what her mother said, and soon tried to implement her mother's wisdom. After a few months, Maya found her inner sanctuary, and became more powerful because of it. In fact, that power was also absorbed by her splint mail armor. All those who donned Maya's splint mail felt a peace flow through their being. Each person found their own personal sanctuary within that armor, which soon became known as Sanctity of Being.

Forged from the finest metals and enchanted with Boopie's secret recipe magics, Tuqak's new armor looked more like a museum showpiece rather than practical combat armor. The steel strips shone with a silver brilliance and each rivet sparkled like fresh cut diamonds. When Tuqak put the armor on, he immediately felt more vigorous and alive. Unfortunately for Tuqak, this new armor also made him overconfident, which summarily caused his demise in a later battle.

While a skilled scout may be able to slink undetected around a camp of regular soldiers and bandits with ease, the same cannot be said if the camp the scout is observing is protected by detection magics. It is because of this very reason that the armor known as Silent Interloper was created. Many generations ago, skilled wood elf craftsman perfected a technique that was able to combine powerful non-detection magic into leather armor. Using this armor, wood elf scouts could infiltrate even the most well protected campsites without fear of being discovered by any magical means. Unfortunately, one of the scouts grew careless and was captured as he was spying on a drow raiding party. After days of torturing their prisoner, the drow were able to learn how the scouts were able to infiltrate their camps and even the location of the village at which these special armors were being made.

Cut from the enchanted flesh of a zombie, studded with silver and blessed by the witch doctor, Mizelle donned the unusual armor and immediately felt increased magical resistance.

While normally carrying innate powers, it is not unusual for an Aasimar to don blessed armor. Such is the case for this unique armor known as Celestial Aura. The armor shimmers with a silvery glow and is adorned with exquisite blue etchings across the breast. One look at the armor and it is simple to see that it possesses powerful protections. Long ago, the Blood War between the Baazetu and the Tanar'ri spilled over to the material plane. Luckily for most of the world, the battle was far away from any major towns or cities. However, this was still no comfort for the Celestial beings that watched over the material plane. So, it was quickly decided to amass as many Celestial and Aasimar beings as possible and drive the Blood War back into its own abyssal planes. However, because of the great numbers of Tanar'ri and Baazetu, the Celestial beings permanently blessed all the Aasimars' armor with Protection from Evil. In addition, the Celestials made the armor immune to fire damage, as well as improving its resistances to paralyze and death magics, and poison. These spells allowed the Aasimar's to get in close to the evil creatures without getting attacked, and provided enough protection to effectively fight the evil hordes. Once all the Aasimars were in position, the Celestials gave the order to attack, which completely surprised the hordes of Baazetu and Tanar'ri. The ensuing battle raged for days, with high casualties on both sides, but eventually the evil hordes were pushed back into their abyssal planes. As a result of the high Aasimar casualties, it was not uncommon for looters to take the armor off the dead.

However, no one can deny that full plate is susceptible to crushing damage. In fact, most bludgeoning weapons were created with the intention of blowing through full plate armor.

No one is exactly sure how Diamond Cutter came into existence, but what is known is that the renowned Mirabar armorsmith, Cutter Boomstock, one day unveiled the armor to a well-to-do knight who traveled all the way from Amn. Diamond Cutter glistened in the firelight like a thousand diamonds, almost blinding was the intensity of the sheen. And, in a remarkable demonstration, Cutter Boomstock lifted his anvil high in the air and struck the armor. To everyone's amazement, the strike left no mark on the sparkling armor.

There are few creatures on the Lower Planes that would not hesitate to confront a holy warrior wielding such a weapon... and this one, perhaps more so than others. Once, it was nothing more than a simple iron sword, but through the courage and faith of one man, it became something more. The blade of this holy avenger glows with a soft golden light. Inscribed upon the hilt in flowing gold letters is "Cera Sumat," which translates into "Six, now Silenced." Cera Sumat earned its name through the labors of elderly duke Kholsa Ehld, a man cresting nearly eighty years of age, who vowed to complete a task that the greatest warriors of three kingdoms feared to do... all because of the weeping of a child. The times in which Old Duke Ehld lived were ones of great upheaval, and the servitors of Bane were strong, crushing all that stood in their way. Entire kingdoms feared their wrath, and to speak out against them meant death, so many remained silent and turned their eyes from the evils of Bane and his servants. During these dark times, the most terrible of Bane's minions were six who called themselves the Lost Followers. Their souls were storms of avarice and hate, and mighty were the powers at their command. They reveled in strife and tyranny... and for all the blood they shed, it was never enough. Together, the Lost Followers brought about the downfall of the Silver Court, slaying its king upon his throne and renaming his once-beautiful nation the Barbed Kingdom. After animating his decapitated corpse and having it march through the streets slaying anyone it could find, they brought a rain of fire down upon the city and the lands around, leaving it a barren wasteland. It is said that they dined in the capital's great hall that night as the land burned, and they raised their wine glasses as the screams of the dying reached their peak. There was only one survivor. In their last act of malice, the Lost Followers left the king's only daughter, barely five years old, alive to reign as "Queen" over the burned kingdom. They called her the Weeping Queen and cast wards about her so that she might never leave the empty capital, and then left her to starve. Their appetite momentarily slaked, the Lost Followers parted ways and went upon their separate roads of damnation, sowing strife in the Bane's Name. Old Duke Ehld was the first one to cross the wards of the Barbed Kingdom and seek out the Weeping Queen upon her father's throne. When he found the small girl, he approached, kneeled before her, and told her he had come to pledge his life in her service. In stiff, formal words, he said he had brought food and water and apologized for his lateness, but his bones were old and it had taken him some time to reach this place. The near-starving child stared at him as he pledged his worn blade and his honor to seeing that the ones who had done this terrible crime answered for their actions, if his Queen wished it. After a long, stunned silence, the Weeping Queen found the words to thank him. From the moment Ehld left the throne room in search of the Lost Followers, the weeping of the queen ended, and she never wept again. Over six years, Ehld traveled the lands of Faerun and across the planes themselves, seeking the Six, and asking them to answer for their crimes. Each scoffed at the old man and his worn-looking blade, only to find him a dangerous opponent... and in the end, the victor. He recorded the events of their death upon a stone set into the pommel of his blade, and there was even regret in his writings that he had not been able to enlighten the Lost Followers to turn from their path before it came to its end. When the last of the Six had answered for their crimes upon the edge of the Cera Sumat blade, Ehld returned to the Weeping Queen and laid the blade at her feet. Where once it had been a tarnished blade, it shone as brightly as the sun, and the stone in the pommel was covered with the writing of his journeys. He detached the stone, and set into a chain, and he gave the Weeping Queen. Ehld told her to keep the chain to wear as a reminder of the many evils of the world and that they are never far from one's heart... but if one's heart is true and one's path is righteous, one may triumph against any number of evils. Duke Ehld outlived his queen, living to the age of 107, at which point Ehld took his Cera Sumat and left the Barbed Kingdom... and is said to have traveled north. In time, the Barbed Kingdom rose to its former glory and its name was changed, and with it, the fate of Cera Sumat and the Medallion of the Lost Followers was forgotten... until your arrival in Kuldahar and the medallion and the Holy Avenger were united once again to meet the Lost Followers in battle one final time. But the story of Ehld and Cera Sumat was a story of another time, and of the adventures of another hero. This is now your time, and your epic. If your band counts a paladin among its number, then this ancient blade is yours to wield against the forces of evil... And perhaps, if your heart is true, save a land from destruction once again.

It did not matter that there were many fine warriors in the land who could benefit from the extra protection that plate mail could lend them. Those unfortunate enough to be of the slender side were reserved to use nothing heavier than chain mail. That is until a resourceful young armorsmith happened on an owl's feather enchantment that helped her to create plate mail that weighed half as much as regular plate mail. Needless to say, that particular armorsmith became very popular with the slender warriors of the region.

Its spiky red scaled plates radiate a fiery red glow at all times, convincing those who look upon it that the plate mail is certainly otherworldly. Those that equip the Plate of the Pit Fiend find that the plate has a deadly natural defense when struck too many times. If an enemy is too successful with their strikes against the wearer of the Plate of the Pit Fiend, the plate will emit an explosive burst of flame in all directions around itself. This flame mortally wounds everyone caught within its wake, except for the wearer of the unusual plate mail. It is rumored that the Plate of the Pit Fiend is actually the hide of a Pit Fiend, killed and skinned by someone, or something, more powerful than a Greater Baatezu. If this rumor is true, pray to the gods that the creature capable of killing and skinning a Pit Fiend never comes to the material plane.

There are few creatures on the Lower Planes that would not hesitate to confront a holy warrior wielding such a weapon... and this one, perhaps more so than others. Once, it was nothing more than a simple iron sword, but through the courage and faith of one man, it became something more. The blade of this holy avenger glows with a soft golden light. Inscribed upon the hilt in flowing gold letters is "Cera Sumat," which translates into "Six, now Silenced." Cera Sumat earned its name through the labors of elderly duke Kholsa Ehld, a man cresting nearly eighty years of age, who vowed to complete a task that the greatest warriors of three kingdoms feared to do... all because of the weeping of a child. The times in which Old Duke Ehld lived were ones of great upheaval, and the servitors of Bane were strong, crushing all that stood in their way. Entire kingdoms feared their wrath, and to speak out against them meant death, so many remained silent and turned their eyes from the evils of Bane and his servants. During these dark times, the most terrible of Bane's minions were six who called themselves the Lost Followers. Their souls were storms of avarice and hate, and mighty were the powers at their command. They reveled in strife and tyranny... and for all the blood they shed, it was never enough. Together, the Lost Followers brought about the downfall of the Silver Court, slaying its king upon his throne and renaming his once-beautiful nation the Barbed Kingdom. After animating his decapitated corpse and having it march through the streets slaying anyone it could find, they brought a rain of fire down upon the city and the lands around, leaving it a barren wasteland. It is said that they dined in the capital's great hall that night as the land burned, and they raised their wine glasses as the screams of the dying reached their peak. There was only one survivor. In their last act of malice, the Lost Followers left the king's only daughter, barely five years old, alive to reign as "Queen" over the burned kingdom. They called her the Weeping Queen and cast wards about her so that she might never leave the empty capital, and then left her to starve. Their appetite momentarily slaked, the Lost Followers parted ways and went upon their separate roads of damnation, sowing strife in the Bane's Name. Old Duke Ehld was the first one to cross the wards of the Barbed Kingdom and seek out the Weeping Queen upon her father's throne. When he found the small girl, he approached, kneeled before her, and told her he had come to pledge his life in her service. In stiff, formal words, he said he had brought food and water and apologized for his lateness, but his bones were old and it had taken him some time to reach this place. The near-starving child stared at him as he pledged his worn blade and his honor to seeing that the ones who had done this terrible crime answered for their actions, if his Queen wished it. After a long, stunned silence, the Weeping Queen found the words to thank him. From the moment Ehld left the throne room in search of the Lost Followers, the weeping of the queen ended, and she never wept again. Over six years, Ehld traveled the lands of Faerun and across the planes themselves, seeking the Six, and asking them to answer for their crimes. Each scoffed at the old man and his worn-looking blade, only to find him a dangerous opponent... and in the end, the victor. He recorded the events of their death upon a stone set into the pommel of his blade, and there was even regret in his writings that he had not been able to enlighten the Lost Followers to turn from their path before it came to its end. When the last of the Six had answered for their crimes upon the edge of the Cera Sumat blade, Ehld returned to the Weeping Queen and laid the blade at her feet. Where once it had been a tarnished blade, it shone as brightly as the sun, and the stone in the pommel was covered with the writing of his journeys. He detached the stone, and set into a chain, and he gave the Weeping Queen. Ehld told her to keep the chain to wear as a reminder of the many evils of the world and that they are never far from one's heart... but if one's heart is true and one's path is righteous, one may triumph against any number of evils. Duke Ehld outlived his queen, living to the age of 107, at which point Ehld took his Cera Sumat and left the Barbed Kingdom... and is said to have traveled north. In time, the Barbed Kingdom rose to its former glory and its name was changed, and with it, the fate of Cera Sumat and the Medallion of the Lost Followers was forgotten... until your arrival in Kuldahar and the medallion and the Holy Avenger were united once again to meet the Lost Followers in battle one final time. But the story of Ehld and Cera Sumat was a story of another time, and of the adventures of another hero. This is now your time, and your epic. If your band counts a paladin among its number, then this ancient blade is yours to wield against the forces of evil... And perhaps, if your heart is true, save a land from destruction once again.

One only needs to hold the medallion close to them, close their eyes and concentrate upon it, and the chronicle of the medallion scrolls through your mind. This notched stone was once set into the pommel of the ancient blade Cera Sumat, a Holy Avenger wielded by old Duke Kholsa Ehld as he walked upon the path of the Lost Followers, challenging them to answer for their crimes in the Barbed Kingdom. Inscribed upon the stone is the chronicle of his search for the six Lost Followers, and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. The medallion tells of the six: Ehld met Inhein-Who-Was-Taken as she slept beneath the earth on the Battle of Bones and asked her to follow him to the Barbed Kingdom to be judged. Her laughter was a storm of bladed whispers, and she cursed the old man, hurling spells of death and flame upon him... she surrounded herself with mighty magics and swirling blades, daring the old man to come close, but he simply bowed his head and took shelter within the spiritual shield of his holy blade. In fury, she risked much and began to raise the dead from the Battle of Bones to destroy the Duke, but the shield around him prevented them from getting close. The undead, furious at their summoner for putting them to an impossible task, turned upon their mistress and tore her apart. Ehld took what was left in a small metal cask and took it to the highest hill at daybreak, and let the sun shine down upon Inhein's remains until they were dust. Broken Khree, one of the only monks to fight the Black Raven in combat and survive with only his legs shattered and his jaw splintered, was the next of the six, and he was not hard to find. He had gathered together a band of slaves captured from a number of small farming hamlets and had them build a temple in Bane's name. Khree was a master of unarmed combat, with eyes and reflexes so quick that he could dodge most missiles and spells before they stood a chance of touching him - and he had sent many archers and mages to their graves. In hand to hand combat, he was a terror, for his bones and body were one with the elements, ignoring fire, cold, lightning, and weather's other displeasures, and while his skin could be stabbed or cut, his bones had the strength of the earth about them, preventing them from being broken or crushed by all but the most powerful of attacks. Ehld knew this, and when he found the bloody monk, the two traded no words, but attacked each other immediately. It was all Ehld could do to dodge Khree's attacks, but in a dangerous stratagem, Ehld tricked Khree into collapsing the newly-erected temple of Bane around them, causing Khree's arms to become pinned by the falling masonry. The monk died as the falling crossbeams of the temple pierced his chest, and in the last minute of his life, he spat his defiance against Ehld and told him he would fight his way back from death to destroy him. Kaervas Death's Head was the lord of an empire deep within the earth, and he sat upon his lava-red throne of rock and lava, his skin so thick with calluses and black enchantments that no mortal weapon could pierce or cut it. Ehld traveled many leagues beneath the surface of Faerun and demanded an audience with the black rock king. Kaervas, amused by the old human's challenge, agreed to fight him, but found Ehld's strength and holy avenger an equal match for his strength and skill. Finding it almost impossible to strike a mortal blow against Kaervas with even his holy avenger, Ehld parried one of Kaervas' strikes and turned the momentum of Kaervas' own axe back on its owner, causing the blunt end of his mighty axe to sink into the dwarf's skull, splintering the bone beneath the skin into fragments. The Duergar allowed the human who had slain their king to leave unmolested, and they sealed Kaervas' body in the throne room where he died. Atalaclys the Lost traveled upon the great sands of Anarouch, hoping to unearth some of the ancient magics buried within the desert to stave off the rotting disease which had claimed him. Ehld tracked him down through the shifting desert, meeting him in the sandy square of a dead town. With no living creature as their witness, the two of them fought for days, spell against blade for days, until at the height of the fourth day, Atalaclys's rotting throat cracked in the desert heat. Unable to utter a spell to carry him away, Ehld left him in the desert, where his corpse lay, fed upon the flies and beetles of Anarouch. Jaiger of the Fanged Season had once been one of four Uthgart brothers whose father had blessed each of them with a binding of the elements. Jaiger had been bound to the Elemental Plane of Air, and such was his power that he could harness the wind to pull his bowstring - and cause the missiles and spells of his enemies to go astray. Jaiger was serving as a mercenary in one of the many southern kingdoms, his bow firing out a stream of arrows so fast and sure that he was said to bring a Rain of Death wherever he traveled. Ehld found the toothless barbarian within the brothels of a southern port, half-drunk and belligerent. When confronted, Jaiger was too deep in his cups to realize who Ehld was, and once it suddenly sunk in the old man had come to capture him, Jaiger tried to fight back with his bow - only to find it much more difficult to fire with his opponent standing almost on top of him than it was when the opponent was a horizon's distance away. Although Jaiger sunk many arrows into his opponent, Ehld was able to best him with a whirling strike that severed Jaiger's bow... and the barbarian's throat. Veddion Kairne, the Hunched Lord, was the last and most difficult of Ehld's challenges. Kairne was said to be the spawn of a storm giant and a demon, combining the great strength of his father with the cunning and bloodthirstiness of his mother. No fork of lightning could touch him, no fire could burn him, and it was said that he bathed in acid and frost as if it were water. The two bloods coursing through him had given him a tremendous resistance to magic, but it prevented him from using magic himself, forcing him to walk the face of Faerun whenever he wished to travel the land. Instead of awaiting his death, however, he sought out Ehld as he was traveling upon the Spine of the World Mountains and tasked the old paladin with proving him guilty of the slaughter in the Barbed Kingdom. The two of them dueled with words for many hours atop the Spine of the World Mountains until Ehld finally tricked Kairne into admitting his guilt... and the Hunched Lord laughed and their battle begin. Hurling jagged boulders at the elderly warrior, Kairne buried Ehld under an ever-growing mountain of rubble, then lifted up his hammer to drive the tombstone into the makeshift cairn around the old warrior... only to have the cairn collapse beneath him, causing an avalanche and crushing him beneath its great weight. Ehld, who had been crouching within the cairn and using his sword as a brace against the precarious balance of rocks, had slipped free and let weight and gravity take their course. With Kairne, the last of the six had been silenced, and Ehld returned home to his Queen. When he arrived in the court of the Barbed Kingdom, Ehld detached the medallion from the pommel of his Holy Avenger and gave it to his Queen to wear as a reminder of the many evils of the world... but if one's heart is true and one's path is righteous, one may triumph against any number of evils. If this medallion could somehow be brought to the resting place of Ehld's Holy Avenger, the blade will rise from the ground, ready to be taken up against the forces of evil once again. Weight: 0 lb.

The notes are quite extensive, but there are four items of interest: - D'hey-jazerrion seems to have had some recent trouble restoring the lever in the southern section of the ziggurat chamber, which is vital to all the alchemical operations below. There is some indication that he intends to return soon to fix it, and it looks like he is the only one who can. There haven't been any notes made in the past few days, so he may be due back soon... it looks like all one can do is wait for him to return to fix the lever. - D'hey-jazerrion has numerous notes on the creation of "wyvern poison," and the process appears simple enough for even an unskilled alchemist to perform. Take a wyvern's stinger, lay it upon the westernmost bench in the lab, then proceed to the lever (mentioned above) south of the ziggurat in the chamber north of the lab. From there, simply pulling the lever will cause the stinger's venom to be distilled into the various beakers in the lab. After half a minute, the procedure will finish and the alchemist can unlock the distiller with the lever - if the lever is not unlocked, green lights (signifying the distillation procedure is still active) will flash around the tables, and the labs cannot be accessed. When the process is complete, every stinger placed upon the bench should be distilled into a bottle of wyvern poison. D'hey-jazerrion appears to perform this process frequently... but there is no mention of why he does this. - The notes also contain a great deal of D'hey-jazerrion's schedule. Apparently, he is not always within the lab, and he prefers to let some of his mixtures sit for several days to ensure their purity, whether they need it or not. - Most interesting is the steps required to create the yuan-ti histachii, or "brood guards." The majority of the steps detail the creation of a histachii brew that transforms a humanoid into the creature. With these notes, a skilled alchemist could perform the procedure in the lab where they were found. The alchemist would have to execute the operation themselves to ensure the reagents are pure, but the procedure is quite simple. Mandrake root must be placed on a prepared distilling table (which, according to the notes, seems to be the easternmost table in the center of the lab - it should already have a number of histachii potions on it). Once that has been done, the alchemist must pull the lever (mentioned above) in the southern part of the ziggurat chamber that lies north of the lab to activate the distiller. After half a minute, the procedure will finish and the alchemist can unlock the distiller with the lever. The histachii brew can then be removed from the table. Because only a portion of the mandrake is used, a single sample can create many fully potent brews. NOTE: While distilling the wyvern poison can be done with no training, only a character possessing these notes and above a 15 Alchemy skill can successfully distill the histachii brew; otherwise the player must enlist the services of someone skilled with the procedure to distill the brew... either by intimidating or tricking them. It also looks like the lever in the ziggurat chamber to the north must wait for D'hey-jazzerion to return to fix it before any of the alchemical processes can take place. Weight: 0 lb.

Even though Dirty Bits has been cleaned from time to time, it still has bits of unidentified 'stuff' that seem to have fused itself to the armor, helping it to retain its dirty name.

They sought to expand their sphere of influence and they also saw it as an opportunity to place a watchful eye on anything occurring in the frost-covered lands to the North. The archmage Larrel was placed in charge of this task. With a strong army at his back and the resources of the surrounding elven kingdoms, Larrel set forth to the Spine of the World Mountains. Many years were spent making a route to the Northlands and finding a suitable location, and he eventually established an elven fortification in a forest that the elves felt comfortable calling home. Under his guidance, the outpost thrived and became the elven eye that they dreamt of creating. It was at this time that the dark horde made their presence known. A force mostly composed of goblins but within their ranks, some orc and ogre tribes, made their way to the North in search of new lands to rape and pillage. Inevitably, conflict broke out between both sides as they fought for control of the surrounding lands. For months, constant battles erupted taking their toll on both sides but neither ever gaining a foothold. As more time passed, the elves eventually found themselves waning. Although the elven forces were superior in battle against the ill equipped and untrained horde, they found themselves hard pressed to keep their ranks filled and well supplied due to the long distance between themselves and the elven kingdoms to the south. The elves of the North were in serious trouble and the horde knew it. In what seemed to be a small period of silence to the elves, the persistent attacks of the evil races stopped. What they didn't know was that they retreated back only to amass themselves into an enormous attack force. Once assembled, they began their march back towards the elves with the intent of driving them from the Spine of the World Mountains once and for all. Weight: 1 lb. Found In: AR6302 --- [63BOOKL2.ITM] The Last Alliance II: The Dwarves Not long after Larrel had created his elven fortress in this area, a clan of dwarves had been working on settling a portion of the land as well. These dwarves came with the hopes of creating another dwarven citadel in the Spine of the World Mountains. Unfortunately, all initial attempts by these dwarves were met with destruction at the horde's hand. This wasn't the first time that dwarves had to deal with resistance from these dark races. History has shown that the dwarves are very experienced in dealing with this threat. As their ancestors before them, these dwarves would deal with them in the same manner by utter eradication. The dwarves gathered their numbers and pushed into the Spine of the World Mountains to rid the area of this threat. Initial scouts found that the darker races had amassed into an enormous attack force heading west. The dwarves were smart enough to know that mindlessly attacking the horde would only result in high casualties if not defeat. They followed the horde from a far and cautiously waited for the right moment to strike. Weight: 1 lb. Found In: AR6302 --- [63BOOKL3.ITM] The Last Alliance III: The Darkest Hour The elves found themselves under attack again immediately as the horde entered the forest. The outpost, although designed as a very defendable fortification, began to break under the force of its reckless attackers. Although the horde was taking heavy casualties, they were winning. Piece by piece, they were taking apart the elves. Their outer defenses were eventually breached, and soon after, the main line of defense crumbled. When all seemed lost to the elves, a battle cry was heard in the distance. The dwarven force watched in the distance as the horde began to lay waste to this remote outpost. As they watched, they knew the orcs were completely frenzied with their blood lusted attack to notice what lay waiting behind them. The dwarves knew this was the time to strike. With a battle cry that rang throughout the battlefield, the dwarves charged into battle. The horde was completely caught off guard and the dwarves took full advantage of it. The dwarves cut down the rear guard with ease and pressed the attack. The horde's vanguard immediately ceased their attack on the elves to deal with the dwarven threat. Given their only chance of living through this battle, the elves marshaled their remaining forces and with renewed strength, began a counter attack. With the battle turned, the horde was in no way prepared to fight against two fronts. Every last member of the horde was viciously cut down and thus ended their presence in the Spine of the World Mountains. Weight: 1 lb.

As for the dwarves, they never expected to charge into battle to rescue a bunch of "arrogant high elves". Regardless, victory from a battle of this magnitude was reason enough to see past these petty racial differences. From this day, a great alliance was formed and together, they formed homes for their people. For the dwarves, the citadel known as Dorn's Deep was created. For the elves, the tall fortress known as The Hand of the Seldarine was built. 200 years passed and the alliance thrived. During this time, the human settlements also began to grow at an alarming rate, due to their short life spans. It was also during this time that the darker races began reappearing in the north. Remnants of the original invading tribes grew to a point where they needed to expand into new territories. Weight: 1 lb. Found In: AR6302 --- [63BOOKL5.ITM] The Last Alliance V: Echoes of the Fall Soon after, a long and fierce debate placed pressure on the alliance. The dwarves saw a huge potential for wealth by selling some of their great artifacts to the human settlements. The elves were vehemently opposed to this as they felt the humans were not worthy of such valued creations. Although they had embraced their neighboring dwarves as comrades, the elves were still isolationists at heart. In the end, the dwarves grudgingly conceded to the elves on this matter. Small skirmishes started again between the alliance and the darker races. Still ill equipped and untrained as before, the alliance spent little time being concerned. Their complacency derived from the alliance being well established in the region along with the devastating power of their artifacts. Little did they know that the dark races were entrenching themselves within the recesses of the Spine of the World Mountains. With new armaments in hand, the large reckless horde of the darker races soon became a deadly force to contend with. Attacks on the alliance became fiercer and more violent. Although the alliance still found themselves on the winning side of each battle, they began to take unacceptable losses. Also more disturbing was the discovery that the horde had within their possession the very same weapons that both races created together. Both races of the alliance spent months trying to find a logical explanation to the horde's possession of their magical artifacts. During this time, the attacks from the dark races became more frequent and fiercer, straining the old ties of the alliance. Soon, this turned into distrust. The elves began to insinuate that the dwarves broke their promise and sold weapons to the untrustworthy humans who then sold them for a larger profit to the horde. The dwarves resented such accusations considering they had just as much to lose from the darker hordes gaining these weapons. This distrust became uglier as old discriminations of the other race began to surface. Weight: 1 lb. Found In: AR6302 --- [63BOOKL6.ITM] The Last Alliance VI: The Fall The Fall of the Hand of Seldarine The old ties were broken. Soon, it all turned into hatred based on racial mistrust. It was the easiest way either side could explain why the dark horde grew in power with their very own weaponry. Any hope of working it out in a civil manner was gone. With the alliance destroyed, conflict was inevitable. Battle broke between the two races and the darker races spared no time taking full advantage. The elves were now alone. The horde continued its attacks and without the aid of the dwarves, the elves found themselves hard pressed. The other main difficulty was that most of the elven kingdoms to the south were either abandoned or lay in complete ruin. Reinforcements from their own kind were far and few in between. It became apparent that the elves were losing and would eventually be overrun. Larrel sent word to Evermeet, and many of the far away elven kingdoms, that support was needed to keep them alive. Unfortunately, any reinforcements sent would be months away at best. The elves had to buy time or face annihilation. Larrel, left with no choice, began the chain of events that destroyed the Severed Hand and led to the final fall of the elves. When the dark races breached the final defenses of the Hand, he attempted to cast a mythal in the hope of preserving all that he held dear... A hand written entry has been appended to this page. It states: It is rumored that a dark elf by the name of 'Nym' was the individual truly responsible for the fall of the Hand. Through magical means he entered the vaults of the dwarves, stole their artifacts, and sold them to the goblinoid armies. He then sat back and watched as the elves and dwarves destroyed their alliance with accusations of guilt. It is speculated that Nym did this to remove a significant threat to the drow population in the area of the Hand. With the elves and dwarves vanquished, the drow were free to claim the territory as their own with no consequence... Weight: 1 lb.

As such, he needed a tool to keep his new recruits submissive and in line. Thus, the Monkey Paw of Discipline was created. The Monkey Paw of Discipline looks exactly like the name describes. It consists mainly of a large, petrified monkey's arm severed at the shoulder. At the shoulder joint, it looks like a one-handed grip was jammed into the bone and magically fused. At the opposite end, the paw is open and is the main dealer of pain. Once someone is smacked with the paw, aside from the considerable damage, there is a chance that the recipient of the discipline will suffer from heightened fear and/or confusion. Once these symptoms wear off, it is not likely that the recipient of the paw's discipline will ever be a problem in the future, especially while class is in session.

Every square inch is covered with weeping sores and green tinted muck. This probably explains why whenever Pustule the Sick uses his flail in battle, the disease that covers both him and his weapon transfers to the victim of the flail's impact. And, if by some extraordinary reason the recipient of the flail's fury does not get diseased, then they will most surely get poisoned.

Out of desperation, Larrel attempted to cast a mythal of protection. Unfortunately, the spell failed with catastrophic results. Enemy and defender alike were warped into undead, Larrel himself transforming into a baelnorn. Eventually Larrel and his brethren were laid to rest.

When it was complete, she had it put into the hands of Iyachtu Xvim's statue, in the hopes that if one day Iyachtu Xvim materialized as one of his avatars, he would use the weapon she had made for him in battle. The mainstay weapon of Iyachtu Xvim, the Scimitar of Souls has the power to literally suck the life out from its victims. Its large, black polished blade is serrated on the back side of its curve, wraps around the lethal tip, and etches its jagged way one quarter the blade's length down on the sharpened side. The brutal looks and size of the finely forged Scimitar of Souls compliments Iyachtu Xvim's foreboding presence and intimidating scowl. In the hands of Iyachtu Xvim's avatar, even this copy of the original sword would yield the dark god an immense advantage in battle - let alone if a mortal were to wield it.

Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or his gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so.

The wizard creates one missile at 7th level, and an additional missile at every third level after 7th - in other words, two missiles at 10th level, three at 13th, four at 16th, and so on, to a maximum of seven missiles at 25th level. Each missile inflicts 2d4 points of damage to the target and then bursts in a 5-foot radius concussive blast that inflicts 1 point of damage per level of the caster - for example, a 12th-level wizard could conjure two force missiles, each of which strikes for 2d4+12 points of damage. Creatures taking damage may attempt a Reflex save to negate the concussion damage, but those struck directly by a force missile receive no saves and will receive full damage. The 1st level wizard spell Shield will absorb the force missiles harmlessly, including the concussion damage.

When it reaches its target, the sphere explodes and drenches the victim in potent acid. The victim suffers 1d4 points of acid damage per caster level, to a maximum of 12d4 points of damage (Reflex half). After the initial damage, the victim must make a Reflex save every round which will reduce the damage for that round by half and also stop any further acid damage. If unsuccessful, the victim continues to suffer acid damage in the following rounds, sustaining two less dice of damage each round. For example, an 8th-level wizard inflicts 8d4 damage with this spell on the first round, 6d4 on the second round, 4d4 on the third round, 2d4 on the fourth round, and the spell ends on the fifth round. Each round the victim is entitled to a Reflex save to avoid further damage in any remaining rounds. The vitriolic sphere also splashes acid in a 5-foot radius around the primary target. Any creatures within the splash radius must make a Reflex save or suffer a splash hit that inflicts 1d4 points of damage per every five levels of the caster. Splash hits do not cause continuing damage.

The venom never dries, giving the sword an unhealthy sheen. This short sword is an evil weapon, said to have caused many lingering deaths over the years. Its name comes from its last known owner, an infamous buccaneer named Letto who preyed on ships traveling upon the Sea of Moving Ice. It is said that he was caught by the Tribe of the Great Whale in the shadow of Hehnhold's Iceberg, where his ship was hacked apart by the barbarians' great axes and the crew set aflame with burning pitch. When the battle was over, only driftwood remained. One of the pieces of his ship's hull found its way south and the wood was used in the construction of one of the rooms in the upper story of the Weeping Widow Inn. The short sword has been buried within the timber for almost thirty or more years, waiting for someone to find it again and use it in Letto's name.

However, against spectral undead the weapon is quite deadly and inflicts additional damage. Little is known of the origins of the mace, but it is believed to be the creation of a priestess of Selune, the goddess of the moon. Selunites deny this pointing out that worshipers of Selune are powerless against undead. Therefore, no priestess of Selune could creature such an item. Scholars argue that this is exactly why the mace was made. To grant the wielder a power over creatures that is not normally given. Of course, this argument fails to explain how the mace could have been created.

Weaponsmiths have always looked for ways to improve existing weapons. In an effort to improve the longsword, the blade was lengthened. Eventually, the handle had to be extended and two hands became necessary to properly swing the sword. The primary function of greatswords is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations.

Little is known about the origins of this weapon, but it is rumored to have been passed down from generation to generation by human Mulhorandi woman. According to legend, whenever these women gave birth to a girl while being forced into slavery, they would, on the night of the first full moon, pray to the ancient pharaoh Tyrish for guidance. Hearing their prayers, Tyrish would send "floating down from the heavens" this sword, and the woman would use it to severely disfigure their children. Once the deed was done, the sword would float away as gracefully as it had arrived.

Hearing her prayers, Tyrish would send "floating down from the heavens" this weapon, originally no larger than a stiletto, and the woman would use it to severely disfigure her child. Once the deed was done, the weapon would enlarge slightly before floating away as gracefully as it had arrived.
