The Descriptions Strike Back

Frasco's Pouch of Grief

Reaching into this ornate belt pouch lets you pull out any number of devastating things with which to ruin your enemy's day. Just be careful not to put anything in it.
















The Melluvian Light

"I asked the Abbott where he had gotten the lamp in his office... He told me that light can come at times from the very heart of Darkness, but when it does it comes at a terrible price. Then he stared at the lamp for a while, and wept."












Arm of Kerembor

Bear me in battle, and know no pain! No know fear! Know only death!  That of your enemies... for now.

More Descriptions

The Immemorial Stone

What is trapped in here is more than an insect, more than a hard-shelled beast... it is time that is trapped inside the stone. Break it, and you might not be so pleased with the world you find... the world that was trapped inside the stone.













Ngaro People
The Forgetting

We forget the age of cages.  We forget the Great Trials, because to remember them is to bring forth great pain.  They say those who do not remember their history are doomed to repeat it... but this was an evil that could not be repeated.

Forget what you saw on the wall.







Ilshen, City Of Stars

It glitters, even in daytime. The sun itself is envious of its vibrant beauty. But it is in the shadows cast by the bright lights of prosperity, that the real work of the city is done.

Even More Items

the Points of Order

Leap high, and leap long, oh bearer of my majesty!  Let us bring the Law of the Forest to the stone and the fence, and laugh as they crumble.
 Elekoth's Grimoire

"You've opened it, so it is already too late for you. I would pity you, but the book has taken even that from me." - Scrawled across the first page, in... red.







Elekoth's Bane

A wand is just an outlet, a convenient point for magic to leave the body.  And so there are many designs, all equally valid and equally efficient.  They are more a matter of personal style than utility. However, style is a path fraught with its own dangers, as the dread necromancer Elekoth came to know.

The Gauntlet of Virre Cassar

The worst thing about this gauntlet isn't the pervasive aura of emptiness that radiates out from you when you wear it, or the way it gnaws on your mind, urging you to do... things...

No, the worst thing about this is that it pinches.







Sunset Boots

Don me, thief, and we shall dance on the dying sunlight!  Doff me, and my new bearer will dance on your grave.









Polykypthos Spear


It is said that the hero Keremon was made to slay his family with this very spear.  When in anguish he went to battle to find death, the spear kept it from him.  Death was not punishment enough for his crime.

Descriptions of Items

The Edge of the River

A predator waits at the water's edge for its prey to come drink.  Be the predator, and make this your edge.











Pocket Infinity

Staring into this gem is like staring into the eternal.  Be careful when you do, lest your life slip past while you fall forever in its mysteries.








Mantle of the Carried King

Whether or not this cloak was ever worn by a monarch is not your prime concern.  Whether or not you can get it off before you suffer the same fate as its previous wearers is much more pressing.
