amulet generally increases the item's aesthetic value, not its magical
properties. Only one amulet can be dangled from the neck at a time.

Harper Amulet
All of the Harpers that you have met in this area were wearing one of
these amulets. Perhaps it somehow identifies one as being a Harper.
Could there be a section of this building that can only be accessed by
Harpers?

the words: "My love, I implore you to keep this pendant near you
forever, even unto death and beyond."

At first glance, this sword appears much like any other. In the

as its power stirs. Its namesake was the original owner of the weapon,
and his tale, though mostly long forgotten, was wrought with treachery
and deceit. Rumors persist that he paid a fearsome price for this
blade, but with it he revealed the true identities of those that sought
to betray him. Their names and crimes however, are long since lost to
history.

Jhor The Bleeder +2
Jhor the Bleeder, Bastard Sword +2
This blade belonged to Ho Mang, a traveler from Kara-Tur who accepted
dubious service at court throughout Faerun. Skilled in "persuasion", he
would use this sword to perform the "Death Of A Thousand Cuts", an
ancient ritual from his homeland involving a lengthy series of small,
painful incisions. The properties of the blade prevent blood from
clotting, and the victim slowly bleeds to death. The sword was stolen,

This was the axe of Illgarth, a Frost Giant that terrorized northern
communities long ago. It is not known where he acquired the weapon, but
he took a perverse pleasure in unleashing it upon small folk,

visit. Ultimately a group did manage to kill him, and at the request of
his victims Frostreaver was buried with him.

Bracers of Defense AC 4
Sometimes known as Gauntlets of Chain Mail, these bracers were first
worn by Tapid Gornoak. He was still an active warrior at the age of
seventy-five but the weight of his armor was getting harder and harder
to bear. A companion, the sorceress Nadalarin, created these bracers
for him. She also cast a permanent illusion over him so that his men
would think he still wore his heavy chain. Tapid died twenty years
later, his hands wrapped around the neck of an orc chief when old age
took him.
STATISTICS:

Bracers are thick bands of metal or leather that are strapped, belted,

For a sewer dweller like Ivan, survival meant going where others
refused. Hiding from thugs, Ivan went so deep into the sewers beneath
Baldur's Gate, that he found caverns of natural caves, some of which
opened to the ocean. Within one cave, Ivan discovered what he thought
was a ruined cloak, all torn and stained. He tossed it into the fire he
started, but it would not burn. Curious, he donned it and with some
prying he discovered its hidden abilities. With the right command he
could shift into a rat, a troll, or a mustard jelly.

powerful enchantments locked within.

The enchanted cloak of the man who trained the famous ranger Drizzt
Do'Urden undoubtedly possesses powerful abilities. However, since this
cloak is missing the enchanted clasp which keeps it in place it is
virtually useless.

Nymph Cloak
The fabled Nymph Cloak is renowned for its ability to increase the

This vicious club was created hundreds of years ago, reportedly by a
shaman on a quest for revenge. His family had fallen to undead, and so
personal was his rage that he amputated his own leg, using the femur for
the body of the weapon. Magical runes empower it, though it is likely
the sheer force of his hatred would have served on its own.

Flail of Ages +3
This flail has been in the care of Lord Arnise for some time, a relic of
his adventuring youth. It has been kept disassembled, the individual
pieces stored in separate locations, and only used in the direst of
emergencies. Lord Arnise was likely concerned about the powerful magic
that the weapon radiated when compiled, and rightfully so. A trail of
destruction has followed it through history, leading straight back to
the original owners. The flail was the creation of the warlike
Rakshasa, a race of vengeful spirits that crave human meat, and used an
adaptable weapon that could suit any battle. During a particularly

Gems
----------
Andar Gem
Andar is hard and durable, yielding translucent gems ("Andars") that
flash green-red or brown-red when properly faceted.

Beljuril
Normally a deep, pleasant seawater green, beljurils periodically blaze
with a glittering, winking, flashing light. Although this particular
stone has a slightly different hue, perhaps a new strain, rarely if ever
seen before. It looks incredibly valuable.

Black Opal
Black Opal has a greenish hue with black mottling and gold flecks.
Usually found in ancient hot springs, the gem is tumbled smooth and cut
cabochon. The phrase in the north "Black as an opal" is used as a
subtle form of praise for kind-hearted rogues and the like.

Chrysoberyl Gem
Chrysoberyl is a hard, transparent, green gem which is usually facet-
cut. It is said that Chrysoberyl has ties to the outer planes and hence
its use with battling demonic possession and the undead.

Emerald
An Emerald is a brilliant green beryl, cleaved along straight box like
lines, with rectangular cutting in the finished gem. Emeralds are often
connected with health, and so are used ornamentally for such a purpose.

Fire Agate Gem
Fire Agate is the name given to chalcedony which contains thin lines of
iridescent goethite. When properly cut, the iridescence displays red,
brown, gold, and green hues, and the finest specimens are partly
translucent.

Horn Coral Gem
Horn Coral, which is also called night coral, is a deep black coral,
similar to angel's skin save for its solid color. It is incredibly
difficult to work with, and is used in jewelry as a polished twig or
branch of material, or is cut cabochon.

Iol Gem
Iol is actually short for Iolite (cordierite), although a common
nickname is "violet stone" even though its overall hue is usually blue.
Iols are usually cut into faceted gems to best display the stone's color
changes as it is viewed from different directions. Small, cut iols can
be clear, but larger specimens usually contain silky inclusions of
another substance such as hemitite crystals, which give the same rich
golden flash of color in sunstones.

Jasper Gem
Jasper is an opaque quartz found in reds, browns, and blacks. Very rare
specimens are blue or have bands of blue against the other colours.
Jasper can be crushed and used in making potions and magical devices
which protect against poison.

King's Tears
King's Tears are very rare and found only in the Realms where they are
sometimes called frozen tears. Clear, teardrop-shaped, smooth surfaced,
and totally unbreakable so far by any means. These stones are said to
be the crystallized tears of long-dead necromancer kings. In each gem
can be seen that which the weeping king loved long ago. Their true
nature is unknown but suffice it to say that sages prize these gems
above all others.

Lynx Eye Gem
Lynx Eye is a specific type of labradorite (a feldspar gemstone).
Labradorite as a class of stones is pale to dark gray and has patches of
colored reflections. This "flash" is most commonly blue but can be of
all shades. "Green flash" labradorite is called lynx eye in the Realms.

Moonbar Gem
Moonbar is a pearly white, opaque gemstone, usually pale blue with green
and gold mottling. Related in type to fire and black opal, but is only
slightly more common.

Pearl
Pearls consist of layers of aragonite agonizingly formed around a bit of
grit or other irritant inside oysters and other mollusks. The resulting
pearl has a rich, deep luster. Most of the pearls in the realms are
white, however there are varieties that are much more rare such as
rainbow and black.

Rogue Stone
A small, shifting, rainbow coloured, irridecent gemstone. The fluid
shades of colour appear almost liquid under normal sunlight, it is truly
a beautiful sight to behold. Rogue stones are extremely rare and are
used for the gemjump spell, hence one of the most sought after gems in
the Realms.

Shandon Gem
Shandon is another name for natrolite in the Realms; its slender,
colorless crystals yield tiny faceted gems used often in veils and robes
in order to capture the beading effect of water glistening upon the
material.

Skydrop Gem
Skydrop is the common name given to clear or lightly colored tektite
material; fragments of glass of celestial (meteoric) origin, found in
the vast shifting sands of Anauroch and other deserts.

Sphene Gem
Sphene is a soft, brittle gemstone (and, like scapra, easily worked by
unskilled cutters) of various yellow to green shades, the most prized of
these being a fine emerald green.

Star Diopside Gem
Star Diopside is the most prized form of a hard, durable gemstone that
is rarely found in attractive colours. It is usually too dark for
beauty, however mountain and streambed-pebble crystals of a pale green
hue make attractive stones such as diopside. When a gem is found that
is darker green it can be cut in such as fashion so to produce four- to
six-rayed stars.

Star Sapphire
Star Sapphire is a precious variation of the sapphire, however is more
translucent, with a white star highlighted in its center. A star
sapphire has been known to ornament devices which protect against magic.

Sunstone Gem
Sunstone is a feldspar jem, closely related to moonstone, and more
properly known as oligoclase. Sunstone can be colorless or faintly
greenish and of facet grade, but most common by far is its softer
(cabochon) variety. This yields gemstones that have bright red or
orange spangles (minute crystals) suspended in a nearly colorless
background in a parallel fashion, giving the whole a rich golden or
redish brown color.

Tchazar Gem
Tchazar is the common name given to aragonite, a straw-yellow gemstone
found in elongated, prism-shaped crystal form. It is soft and fragile,
and requires skilled cutting to yield faceted gems.

Turquoise Gem
Turquoise is an opaque aqua stone with darker mottling, and is found in
the more arid reaches of the Realms. Horsemen will often place a sliver
of this stone in a horse's harness as a sign of good luck.

Water Opal
Water Opal is a colourless, clear opal with a play of colour. It is
rare and valuable in the Realms, where it is used in scrying devices.

Ziose Gem
Ziose is the name given by sages to a particular facet-grade variety of
ziosite; a rare mineral that yields cut stones that flash three vivid
hues depending on how the light catches them; purple, blue, or red or
purple, green, and red. Very large (fist- or foot-sized) gems are found
and are prized for use in pendants and brooches.

Zircon Gem
Zircon is a brownish crystal found in igneous (volcanic) rocks. Zircon
attains its pale blue shade with heating and cutting (usually facet-
cut).

Imoen's Belt
Imoen does not know when or how she acquired this belt, and despite all

Girdle of Bluntness
Girdle of Bluntness: 'Destroyer of the Hills'
Having lost friends and loved ones to a series of raids by hill giants,
Garrar The Powerful made it his mission to cleanse his homeland of their
presence. It is not known where he acquired this item, but with it he
single handedly dispatched dozens of the creatures, all the while
protected from the blows of their clubs. The remaining giants fled to

Dragons's Bane +3
Halberd +3: Dragon's Bane
This was the weapon of Thorvin Dukal, one of seven self-proclaimed
Dragonslayers who spent years railing against what they called "an
insidious dragon infestation that threatened Faerun." Thorvin had this
weapon enchanted at great expense and used it on many occasions, though
of dragons only a single white has fallen to it. The Dragonslayers met
their match in a cantankerous ancient red who slew the entire group in
an epic battle. This weapon did not end up in the beast's hoard
however, as the creature returned to its lair to recuperate and when it
emerged the field of combat was well scavenged.

surmounted by a sharp spike, usually of quadrangular design. The fluke
is sometimes replaced by a hook used to dismount cavalry. A halberd can
be best described as a cross between a spear and an axe.
This item, like most drow equipment, is created using Adamantine, an
alloy of adamantite that quickly turns to dust if removed from the

This key will open the sealed door to the underground Saradush prison.

Mae'Var's Strongbox Key
This is a metal key of unique design. Judging from its shape, the lock
that it fits must be impossible to pick.

Planar Key
This thin bar vibrates softly in your hand. It looks as if it could be
used as either a key or a lever.

Planar Prison Cell Key
This rod is actually a key of strange design. This key was found on the
Warden's Body in the strange extra-planar prison the Raelis and
Haer'Dalis were taken to. It is most likely the key to the prisoners'
cell.

Portal Key
An intricate key, presumably once owned by the lover of your captor.

Portal Key
You assume this key you recovered from the Chromatic Demon's body will
grant you access to the next level of this dungeon.

Rebel's Heart
This is the heart of the Sahuagin Prince Villynatny.

Sahuagin Scribe's Notes
This scroll seems to be a collection of stories about Great Wars of the
Sahuagin. They mention planned offensives against land dwellers all
along the Sword Coast as well as tales of past offensives. The Sahuagin
appear to be a particularly warlike race, constantly planning full-
fledged invasions of the shores but rarely following through due to
incessant infighting. The events that you have seen in this particular
settlement would seem to bear that out. An interesting insight into
Sahuagin culture.

Sahuagin Treasury Key
This ornate key will open the door to the Royal Treasury.

Samia's Key
This is the key to the tomb of King Strohm III.

Sewer Key
This key has a faint but foul odor clinging to it, like that of the
sewers. There are no sewers within the halls where you found the key.
The lock that this key opens will have to be found elsewhere.

Shadow Prison Key
This key was obtained from the Shadow Jailor. It can be used to open
the prison cells in the Shadow Dungeon.

Shadow Thief Cellar Key
This key will allow you to open a secret door that leads to the Shadow
Thief headquarters, which you will need to find. The secret door is
located on the ground floor of the Shadow thief guild, on the north east
wall.

Trademeet Tomb Key
This key will open the sealed tomb in the Trademeet Cemetary. The tomb
used to be the place of burial for Trademeet's elite, but has been
sealed off for many years because of 'trouble' from within.

Wand of Lightning Key
This key gives you a small shock when you touch it.

Wand of Missiles Key
This key resembles a tiny Wand of Magic Missles.

Wand of Summoning Key
This key seems to squirm in your hand as if it is alive.



Large Shields
----------
Large Shield
The body shield, also known as the kite or tower shield, is a massive
metal or wooden shield reaching nearly from the chin to the toe of the
user. It must be firmly fastened to the forearm and the shield hand
must firmly grip it at all times. Naturally, this precludes use of the
shield hand for anything but holding the body shield in place.

Leather Armor
----------
Karajah's Leather Armor
Leather Armor +3: Karajah's Life and Death
Karajah was Calimshan's champion of pit fighting for a full decade, and
seemingly unbeatable. His success, or so he claimed, was due to the
mobility that his light armor afforded him. He may well have been
unaware of the suit's other qualities, but his peers ignored his claims
of ignorance when enchantments were discovered. The armor survived the
subsequent beating, whereas Karajah did not.

Leather Armor +3
Basic armor made of thick, wax or water-hardened leather. It is sturdy

suit.

A clever thief, Damien Oneknife always tried to gain from the assets of

several ghouls in which two of his companions perished, Damien decided
to even the odds in future encounters. He skinned one of the undead
creatures and brought the hide to a halfling armorer talented in
enchanting leather. When the suit was finished it was magically
protective against physical attacks and paralyzation. Not very epic

Drow Crossbow of Speed
A crossbow is a bow mounted crosswire on a wooden or metal shaft, the

unknown. He certainly did not anticipate the enchantment within, magic
that makes the archer's aim almost infallible for a short period every
day. Pinn claimed his skill was responsible, but it is more likely that

Adjatha the Drinker, Long Sword +2
This blade belonged to Dabbar, a long dead servant to Bhaal that
exercised control over his minions in the most brutal of ways. In
addition to strengthening the mind against the guile of others, the
sword absorbs life energy from an opponent with each successful hit,
healing the user. Dabbar considered it a failure of his officers if he
returned from battle in less than perfect health, and as the rest of the

Few dare to create such items as this, for who does not fear the wrath
of dragons, and what action would more tempt their reckoning? Yet, at a
time lost in Faerun's past, there was a need, and this sword was forged
in answer. Tempered by a wizard's skill, this blade protects the
wielder from the fear they should rightly feel while staring down a
dragon's maw. It also bolsters with regeneration, dispels the trickery
of illusions, and dares to do double damage against the greatest
creatures of the Realms.

Such is the age of this sword that its true origin has been lost to

length vary from culture to culture, and may vary within the same

all long swords is their length, which ranges from 35 inches to 47
inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take up 40 inches of

present at some of the most influential conflicts in Faerun's history.
Sightings have been noted as far north as Thay and as south as the
jungles of Chult, though documentation is oddly lacking regarding
details. It is perhaps a result of the sword's ability to silence all

Maces
----------
Ardulia's Fall +1
Mace +1: Ardulia's Fall
Ardulia the Agile was a man whose speed and skill at knife play made him
exceptionally lethal in battle, and he repeatedly proved it by leading
raids on settlements along the Sword Coast. He would often challenge
the village leader for possession of the town, and with his speed, the
duels were always quickly decided in his favor. Ardulia met his match
one spring morn however, when he battled the priest Itgan, who wielded
this mace. Ardulia seemed to stagger under each blow, slowing his pace
to recoup and regain his breath. Without his speed, Ardulia was lost,
and fell to the measured attacks of Itgan.

'Anarg the Fearless'. The cup had been presented to him for faithful
service to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. It is a badge of
honor for Anarg and losing it was a blow to his pride, only serving to
further fuel his anger over losing his paladin status.

Ankheg Shell
The Ankheg is a burrowing insect-like creature between 10 and 20 feet
long, found mainly in forests or choice agricultural land. They are
covered with plates or shells made out of a substance called chitin
which is extremely tough and very light. The size, weight and strength
of the shells make them highly sought after in many situations,
including the creation of armor.

Baalor's Claw
This demon's hand pulses with evil power. Though harmless enough in its
present state, there are rumors that the magic of a demon's claw can be
unleashed by combining the appendage with another powerful item of evil.

Bag of Holding
As with other magical bags, this one appears to be a common cloth sack
of about 2 feet by 4 feet size. The bag of holding opens into a
nondimensional space, and its inside is larger than its outside

target fails its save, it will be held by the webbing for 2 rounds.
Kitthix's melee attack is poisonous.

Blade of the Equalizer
A Piece of the Equalizer
This is a part of the Equalizer, a great long sword forged long ago as a
tool for balancing the powers of the universe. Also known as the 'sword
of neutrality', it did greater damage the further the target's alignment
was from True Neutral. The Equalizer was last rumored to have been
wielded by the elven hero Alaine Greenleaf, who was lost during a voyage
to the Underdark. Other rumors have, however, proposed that the blade's
pommel gem was stolen by an escaped slave who returned to the surface
world.

rodent is just a normal hamster.

Bowstring of Gond
Gond Wonderbringer, the God of invention and innovation, created this

looks vaguely like something though you can't put your finger on what
that something might be.

Gracen,
You have been given all the funds necessary for your duties, so you are

Control Circlet
A circlet of alien metal that dominates even the most powerful of minds

Crom Faeyr Scroll
This yellowed sheet of parchment describes the process used by the
ancient dwarven smith Silverblade to forge the original Hammer of
Thunderbolts, as well as the means by which he intended to continue to
shape the weapon into its ultimate form. By the combining of the Hammer
of Thunderbolts, Gauntlets of Ogre Power and a Girdle of Frost Giant
Strength... and using the power of the hammer's true name "Crom
Faeyr"... an ultimate weapon of destruction could still be completed
using this scroll.

Dawn's Light Symbol
A holy symbol is a physical representation of a god's power. This

Demon Heart
No one said that demon hearts were supposed to be pretty, but you

Energy Cells
These are the cells that powered Rielev's life support unit. They would
most likely work for other units as well.

Exotic Hide
This leather is thick and coarse, unlike even the heaviest hide from a

be exotic indeed.

up.

First journal of Jon Irenicus
No doubt these texts will prove to be an embarassing legacy, but I must
order my thoughts herein, lest they spill from my accursed mind.
Spellhold is in my control. Once recovered from my torpor I made short
work of what defenses there were. Coordinator Wanev conveniently
removed himself, suffering a peculiar reaction to a spell of mine. I
forget what it was; perhaps something I heard in the temples of
Suldanessellar... does it even matter now?
My condition grows worse, and what I remember of my 'home' is fleeting.
I see images of family whose names I cannot recall, and dream of
emotions I no longer feel vividly. On occasion I sense nature as if she
is my mother, as though never removed from her bosom, but such moments
are few. I bear the hallmarks of senility with the rage and power of a
young elf to lament it.
Bodhi endured the curse much better than I do now, but she was more
focused and, mor importantly, undead. She is now thoroughly seduced by
her vampiric condition, despite its previous failure to counteract the
death sentence she was under. She had embraced her mortality, excited
by the urgency of it, but now she is confused. Imoen's soul has
restored her, but her motives remain transparent, even simplistic. She
revels in her carnal nature, even as the elf within despises the
creature she has become.
I would pity my 'sister' if I was capable, but emotions come to me only
in violent outbursts. Ellesime has taken my ability to truly feel, and
I am left with the threadbare heart of a human, or some other short-
lived vermin. I will not suffer this much longer.
Spellhold has met my needs quite well. They had made a practice of
experimenting on inmates here for quite some time, though in a barbaric
fashion. I refined their instruments, and have finished preparing the
necessary rituals. I am quite through with Imoen, though she can still
serve as bait. I am certain ????? will make an appearance sooner or
later.
Bodhi has delivered more assassins than I had asked for. I disposed of
some in advance, but it seems such a waste. I think she has done this
on purpose, as she has taken to releasing the extras in the maze below
and hunting at her leisure. I marvel at her hunger, and how she seems
so *alive* in her undeath. Perhaps it is the soul of Imoen. Soon I
shall see for myself. ????? had best hurry.

Harper Bird
From what the Spectral Harpists have said, you gather that this bird was
once poor Montaron. This would be what Xzar is looking for.

Heart of the Damned
The Heart of the Damned is an ancient dried human heart. It takes its
name from the legend of the man that it came from. Legend has it that
during a war, the cause of which has long been forgotten, a keep was
beseiged. The Lord of the keep knew that his walls would soon be
overrun and, rather than have his people enslaved, he slew them all.
When the besiegers next attacked, they found the Lord standing amongst
the slain.
The Lord was burned at the stake and the legends say that his heart
would not burn. The Heart is an artifact of significant malevolent
power and may be of some use.

to the Underdark. Other rumors have, however, proposed that the the
blade's pommel gem was stolen by an escaped slave who returned to the

apparent use.

Horn of Blasting
Horn of Blasting
While many army engineers spent their time perfecting siege equipment,
Julius Baggar delved into magical tomes for his engineering insights.
Therein he found ancient scriptures that detailed how to make, control,
and wield sound waves. The Horn of Blasting was his first and only
attempt at taking the theoretical magical knowledge to create a
practical new technology. An apprentice blew through the Horn, aimed in
the direction of Julius who insisted on a 'useful experiment'. The
resulting shockwave that emanated from the Horn first stunned and then
tore poor Julius apart.

Illithid Correspondence
This note has sections written in several languages, some so alien as to
be painful to look at.
A small section written in common reads as follows:
'The base is established and the infiltration continues. The Hidden
gathers followers and soon we shall dominate the minds of the entire...'
The message continues in one of the more alien scripts. The illithids
are up to somethings, as is typical of the race, but your being here has
most likely disrupted their plans.

Illithid Serum
This is a heavy, metallic liquid that rolls into beads when spilled out
onto the palm of your hand. Whenever the flask containing the oil is
opened a sickly, rotten-egg smell almost overwhelms you. While
disgusting, the odor alone serves to heighten your senses.

It's somewhat difficult to tell but you suspect that this is the body of
Inspector Aegisfield. It looks as if the tanner caught him off guard
when the inspector entered the house to investigate your findings.

that it brings forth seems powerful enough to dispel any darkness.

destroy creatures of shadow. This piece seems to be one third of a

flows across the land like music, thou must offer the Morn Ritual that
is pleasing to mine eyes and ears. Malign the Ritual at thy peril.
Perform it only as I have written.

3) Reflect as thou perceive the victory of Light over the Dark.
These are things that please me.

peril. Perform it only as I have written.

(The second part of the ritual has been inked out by the blackest of
inks. Perhaps you could deduce the action by comparing this scroll with
the rituals for morning and night.)
3) Rejoice on the Glory of the Light as it reigns over the Dark.
These are the things that please me.

Note
The Shadow Thieves weaken day by day, and cannot even protect their own
members form the night they claim to know so well. What do your guild
dues pay for, besides the opulence of the Shadow Council? Join with us
and receive what you know you are worth. We meet when the night is half
past. You know the place.

Note
This is a plain note written in a delicate script. It reads:
Berinvar,
Do not concern yourself with the thief. If he has accomplices, they
will show themselves soon. As for the thief, himself... the spectral
harpists will release him for his curse once they feel he has learned
his lesson. And if he doesn't, well, we can always hope he acquires a
taste for bird seed, eh?
Cheers,
T.

A note from Mazzy Fentan
Wallag
We travel this day to search out the wolf lair. My own scouting of the
region has confirmed Merella's suspicions that there is a large pack of
wolves acting in this area. On the map included I have indicated where
I believe the wolf den to be located. Follow us if you can, but be
cautious. We can ill-afford another mysterious disappearance. Until we
meet again.

miniature sword, hanging on a delicate chain and meant to be worn around
the neck and next to the skin.

Piece of Burial Mask
At first look this seems to be just a shattered piece of pottery.
Closer examination reveals that this is a single piece of King Strohm
the third's burial mask. With all of the pieces it would be possible to
reconstruct the mask. What good this would do, you do not know.

Piece of Red Cloth
This is a piece of red cloth that Tirdir claimed to have torn off of his
captor's clothing. Perhaps you should keep watch for a man in red as
you move through the city.

Pipe
This is a dark and delicately-crafted meerschaum pipe used for smoking
particular roots and odorous plants. It appears to have been carved
from felsul root, itself, and smells faintly of brimstone and cinnamon.

Pirate Horn
This horn can be blown to signal the harbor guards. They will open the
sea gates to allow a ship through. Without the horn, a ship would never
leave the harbor.

Pommel Jewel of the Equalizer
A Piece of the Equalizer
This is a part of the Equalizer, a great long sword forged long ago as a

it to him when you have used it to help defeat the Unseeing Eye.

Rift Device
The mysterious Rift Device. This rod is said to be so destructive that
it was cursed by the gods and buried deep within the Earth. The ancient
god Amaunator and his worshippers were charged with the task of guarding
it. Amaunator's fading Avatar has allowed you to use it with the
expressed purpose of destroying the Unseeing Eye. The Avatar asked that
you return it when your task is done, as it would be exceptionally
dangerous to bring this device above ground.

Rift Device Part

is highly coveted by the Unseeing Eye.

Ritual Scroll
This is the scroll provided by the Knights of the Vigil to reinforce the
seals keeping the Imprisoned One in the dungeon.

Ruby Stone

to cast a very special version of the Imprisonment spell. This item is
specifically attuned to Lord Ketlaar Argrim, and will function against
him and him alone.

Sapphire Stone
This stone has a certain energy about it. It may come in useful
although, at this point, you aren't sure where.

Scepter of Radiance

bathing the completed scepter in a luminous rainbow.

Scroll Case
This sturdy container allows dozens of scrolls to be placed in it, safe
from exposure to fire, rain, or lighning -- common hazards faced by any
adventuring wizards.

Second journal of Jon Irenicus
Victory! I am restored! ????? has given exactly what I needed, exactly
as I demanded, and now I see where Bodhi has found such fire! I feel
the essence of the gods within me! Damn Ellesime's curse for the weak
minded spell that it was; now I am free. ????? did not make proper use
of the heritage given @@@.
Now comes the time of retribution. I will not allow such a crime to go
unpunished. The audacity of Ellesime, claiming my punishment was just,
and the hypocrisy of 'my' people, accepting such an act while decrying
mine. I will not let this rest. I will take what I intended, and those
that would stand before me will fall as they should. Today is a much
better day. I will act at my leisure.

Sekolah's Tooth
Only this gigantic shark tooth, said to have been left by the sahuagin
god Sekolah, can open the way to the Rebel Prince's base.

Tanner's Letter
I am bid to write this by those we serve.
You who carry out the work, I am your humble servant. When at last you
need the final ingredient for the grand project, I shall be the one that
brings it to you. Seek me out in the hills of Umar, and signal your
identity witht he purchase of the book, The History of the Zhentarim.
This will identify you, for I do not know your name, nor should I. The
need for security is paramount, so you must also utter my secret name,
constructed from the name of your immediate master. There will be no
mistake with this method.
Our names are the same in their scale and their cut.
The last of his begins just as the first of mine.
The second of my first is the second of his first, though regressed a
full four steps.
The third of my first is four more than the last of his first.
The entire last of my first is the last of his first, except the first
one of these is the first of my last.
The first of his last is mine plus one.
The next of my last is the last of his first plus one.
The last of my last are third and second, coming in first for him.
I am sorry for such games, but it is certain that only you shall know
this. I await your arrival.

Tombelthen's Journal (2nd half)
This is half of a page of parchment, yellowing and crumbling with age
and speckled with old stains. The top of the page is torn and jagged,
as if ripped from its other part. Its ink is faded but still legible,
however, and reads:
"--clearing in the south of the area, placed carefully within a standing
column of rock. These columns are common in this area, and this column
is different only in that its clearing is surrounded by a copse of
trees.
I intend to send this journal on to my family, so that if I happen not
to make it home, one of them might track down my cache and benefit from
it.

looks ripe enough to eat.

inscription on it:
Two towers to ever guard the tomb,
Two wards to now enter the room.

This is the wardstone obtained from Perth the Adept. It should lower
the wards that keep you from entering Spellhold.

Wave Blade
Part of the Wave
This is a piece of the Wave, a powerful halberd created as a weapon of
vengeance by a cult worshipping Umberlee. It apparently draws water out
of its victims, and is able to slay creatures of fire almost instantly.
Tales say the Wave was lost long ago to the fire giants of the Storm
Horn Mountains, but was eventually found by the adventurer Arganon of
the Long Reach. He either lost the weapon to a wager in the planar city
of Sigil, or it rests with his bones when his ship was sunk during a
great storm in the Sea of Swords. No one knows for sure.

Necklaces
----------
Necklace of Form Stability
Necklace of Form Stability
Dydaar'a of the Altered was a witch of great temper who rewarded the
slightest insult with harsh punishment. Often this meant several weeks
transformed into some form of wild beast, which of course earned her
many enemies. It is recorded that she once fought a mage named Maxell
who had previously suffered such a fate. For his return he had prepared
this necklace, designed to prevent her changing his form, but he could
not shield those around his as well. Apparently an impromptu army of
farmers-turned-bears eventually overwhelmed him.

Ninja-To
Ninja-To
The sword of the ninja, the ninja-to, is of lower quality than other
Kara-Tur blades such as the katana. The ninja-to is short with a
straight blade, making it ideal for the subterfuge of the ninja. The
ninja-to is also more suited to fighting in closed places, sometimes
giving the ninja an advantage over the longer blades that the samurai
used.

Plate Mail
----------
Ankheg Plate Mail
This plate mail has been expertly crafted. Sheathed in the chitinous
scales of the ankheg, it provides a greater degree of protection than
traditional plate mail and is not succeptible to rust. As any world-
weary adventurer will tell you, however, the best appreciated aspect of
ankheg mail is its light weight and low encumbrance. Monsters come and

known, and for whom it was named, was Delver Kinlake. He was a vagabond
whose strong sword-arm and keen wits made him a respected general to the
Lords of Waterdeep. A gift from Lord Baeron, the armor served Delver
well for thirty years, and after his death, it passed to his eldest son.
It has since made its way into the hands of a variety of adventurers.

Ring of Acuity
Ring of Acuity:
The origins of this ring are unclear, and while its enchantments share
similarities with historical examples of Rings of Wizardry, there is
something strange in how it feels, either in the weight of the metal or
in the aura it projects, and it does not function the same. It was
likely found on some distant plane, and as such, its maker will remain a
mystery to you.

Ring of Air Control
Ring of Air Elemental Command
Air elementals are make for powerful foes but with this ring they can
become valuable allies. Dark tales tell of groups of Red Wizards all
with rings of elemental command descending upon small villages with no
warning and destroying every living thing in sight. Although the truth
of these rumors is questionable the fact remains that a ring of this

Ring of Clumsiness
Ring of Clumsiness: 'The Jester's Folly'
The most notorious owner of this ring made a substantial living
exploiting its cursed nature. Gregoria the Foole, a jester by trade,
would use his incomparable sleight of hand to switch this ring with that
of a patsy taken from his audience. The rest of his performance would
involve the mocking of the newly clumsy individual, much to the delight
of their comrades. The ring was removed (by a method known only to the
wily jester) only once the stooge had promised no reprisals for the
treatment he had received; though Gregoria frequently still had to make
a hasty retreat. His last known performance was rumored to have been an
ill-humored mage in Zhentil Keep; a show from which he did not flee
quite fast enough.

Ring of Gaxx
Ring of Gaxx
This ring is relatively unadorned, but the vile magic within radiates
intense evil. Indeed, its creator, Kangaxx, was no less evil himself,
even before millennia of undeath honed his power. It is said that a
cadre of Netheril mages fought and imprisoned the demilich once, but
being unable to truly destroy him they became liches themselves to stand
guard over his remains. The construction of the ring may have led to
their enmity, as each of the gem's nine facets was supposedly empowered
by sacrifice and death.

sons of King Castter De'wess, though who uttered the enchantment is

The Guard was an immortal sentry assigned to protect a tomb that

for the grave disappeared with the memory of the royal family, and
adventurers began to try their luck with the Guard. It was inevitable
that he would eventually be bested, and when he was, the ring he wore
was one of many treasures taken from the tomb.

Ring of Regeneration
Ring of Regeneration
A lowly ranked Red Mage named Huhhus is said to have discovered the
perfect way to distill troll flesh to make a potion that provided the

drink the vile liquid however and decades later a student of Huhhus
created this ring, building upon the foundations of knowledge laid by
Huhhus. Within the hollow cavity of the jade ring floats the ichor and
brains of a troll, providing a limited regenerative capability to the
wearer.

when he stumbled upon two Red Wizards traveling the Cloakwood Forest.
Enraged at being disturbed, the mages unleashed a score of Magic
Missiles at the seemingly helpless Derek, but to their brief surprise,

Red Slayer.

Rod of Lordly Might
Also called The Wrath of Three Kings, though not associated with any

use during The Battle of the Bones, but for which side is uncertain as
it was found amongst the dead after a larger skirmish. Three buttons

enchanted Mace; the second, a hypnotic Flaming Blade; the third, a

and apprentice. Galloma died before Dramnek's tutorage could be
completed however and the youth found himself once more alone in the
world. Eventually he made his way to the streets of Athkatla. There he
became a cutpurse, augmenting his thieving skills with the little magic
he'd learned from Galloma. Eventually he crafted this sword, which
enhanced Dramnek's weak physical body. This weapon has no speed factor.

None know better than Halflings the value of a well-placed stone when

the hearth to seek adventure. Legend speaks of the diminutive Arla
using this sling to place a well-sharpened pebble through the skull of a
green dragon in mid-flight, though the same tale in another tavern
places the stone squarely in the creature's hindquarters for more
humorous than lethal effect. It would seem that Halflings prefer

harass irresponsible loggers and poachers, and old-timers tell of
mercenaries chasing him with a dozen hunting dogs or more. The animals
seemed ready to rip the poor druid to pieces, but he quickly turned them
on their former masters. Rushing forward in hopes of ending his
influence, the men-at-arms saw the final power of the staff, and as the

Tomes
----------
Book of Infinite Spells
This ancient tome creaks as you open it. Each page of the Book of
Infinite Spells contains a spell described in layman's terms, easy
enough for a thief, cleric or even a fighter to understand and cast it.
Each spell on a page can be cast once per day. A second function of the
book is to turn to a different page of the book. This allows for the
possibility of getting a better spell. However, once the page has been
turned the previous spell is lost forever, unless it happens to appear
again.
Be warned. Once you turn to the last page of the book, you are stuck
with that spell.
The spell on this page is:
Fireball (Evocation)
Level: 3
Range: Visual range of caster
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 30-foot radius
Saving Throw: 1/2
A fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low
roar and delivers damage proportional to the level of the wizard who
cast it - 1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the
spellcaster (up to a maximum of 10d6). The wizard points his finger and
speaks the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to
burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts
upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed
range, blossoms into the fireball (an early impact results in an early
detonation). Creatures failing their saving throws each suffer full
damage from the blast. Those who roll successful saving throws manage
to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, each receiving half.

The Book of Kaza
The Book of Kaza is a famed tome written by the lich, Kaza. It is said
to deal with the darkest secrets of necromancy, though the pages appear
to be blank when you look at it. Kaza was destroyed during the upheaval
of Netheril's final days. The book was brought to what is now Amn by
Kaza's disciples. How it has come to its present location after so many
years is anyone's guess.

Book of Rituals
This is a book of Elemental Rituals that is the possession of a mage
called Vithal. It is of little use to any other person.

Conjur Ota Servanta
Conjur Ota Servanta
This text is written in a very old dialect of southern common that you
are not familiar with, thought it does not appear to be a particularly
ancient tome. It seems to be a section of the personal journal of a
noble named Tomass Sangui, and deals with the acquiring and control of
his most devoted servants. It is difficult to ascertain much more,
though from the frequency of certain words you are reasonably sure that
Tomass was creating vampire minions, if not some other creature that
feeds on blood. His knowledge on the subject seems quite intimate
indeed, and he details the long process of completely turning a victim.
Apparently, if the process is interrupted it can be reversed, but the
author does not say how. There is a stamp on the back of the book that
indicates it was once archived and recorded by the followers of Oghma.

Dea Vampir Becomos
Dea Vampir Becomos
This book has been drenched in blood, ruining most of the pages within.
The original ink, faded to begin with, is now thoroughly illegible. A
more recent script handwritten in the margins has left an impression
revealing a few words here and there, just enough to decipher the nature
of the tome. This text apparently dealt with the process that one would
go through to become a vampire, though the little you can see gives no
indication why someone would want to do such a thing. There is a stamp
on the back of the book suggesting that this tome was once archived and
recorded by the followers of Oghma.

Elminster's Ecologies: Appendix IIIa
Elminster's Ecologies: Appendix IIIa
This time-worn tome is written by the sage Elminster, and apparently
part of a much larger body of work containing detailed studies of most
of the strange creatures from around Faerun.
The appendix seems to refer to newly-discovered variations on normal
breeds of creatures. Of particular interest:
"Dense Puddings - a relative of the slimes and molds, this pudding is
relatively normal...except when exposed to electricity or fire. When
this occurs, it splits into new puddings and can therefore be very
dangerous."
"Fire Trolls - a new form of troll thought to have been created by
sorcerous Fire Giants for use as servants and guards. They are similar
to regular trolls in most respects except for their lava-temperature
skin and burning touch. Once they are defeated, they can only be
permanently killed by cold or acid."
"Fission Slime - an off-shoot of the slimes and molds, this particular
slime will split into new and independent creatures when hit. It is
vulnerable to fire, which will kill it permanently."
"Magic Golems - this rare type of golem is formed from pure magical
energy and is completely immune to spellcraft as well as enchanted
weapons. To my knowledge, only weapons without enchantments have any
effects on this creature."
"Marileths - while this is apparently a legitimate form of demon, it is
one that only an exceptional few have encountered and survived. The
Marileth is a six-armed demon with a human female front half and the
back half of a snake. She is incredibly quick and deadly, and on top of
her martial prowess with six swords, she casts spells as well. Fighters
should beware: in addition to being immune to normal weapons and minor
enchantments, this demon also likes to cast Immunity to Magic
Weapons...which must be dispelled if a fighter is to have any chance
with his armaments."

Golem Building Book
Finally, I have created a guardian Golem that is specially suited for
the challenging task of cleansing my sphere of planar creatures. It is
exceedingly efficient in combat, having just recently destroyed a score
of Dretch and Chasme demons, though it was damaged in the encounter.
These notes will serve as a reminder to me on the proper method of
constructing the Golem should it be destroyed.
Note to self: Avoid engaging other planar creatures. The exercise is
quite difficult and better left to the Golem.
A standard Golem requires two legs, two arms and a head. Be wary that
some denizen of the Sphere does not steal any of my spare Golem pieces.
It would be frustrating to have to actually track down the pieces
myself.
The most difficult task comes after the pieces are assembled in the
workroom. To activate the Golem you must...

no longer be deciphered)

History of the Drow
History of the Drow, The Descent:
We know very little of the Ilythiiri, or "Elves of the South," before
this crucial event. Even they 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.

History of the Moonsea
History of the Moonsea:
The Moonsea has a long history as the border between the elven lands to
the south and the darker, more sinister lands of the Ride and Thar, home
of dragons and giant and ogre tribes in great multitudes. 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.

History of the North
History of the North - Recent History of the North:
In the waning summer months of 1367, an immense orc horde descended from
the Spine of the World, intent on winding its way south into the trade
lands of the North. This force of orcs, led by King Greneire, surged
its way south between the Moonwood and the Cold Wood, stopping just
outside the Citadel of Many Arrows.
King Obould, orc ruler of the Citadel of Many Arrows, was terrified at
the prospect of another orc horde, despite the fact that he knew they
should be working together against the humans of the North and the spawn
of Hellgate Keep. His tribal shamans, however, had been predicting a
treacherous fall of the citadel - and they'd told the king that he'd be
disposed by other orcs.
Thus, it was a dark day when King Greneire and his horde of 150,000 orcs
appeared on the plains outside the Citadel of Many Arrows. King Obould
announced to his followers that this horde had been sent to dislodge
them from their home and send them out to be scavengers among the
plains. He vowed that, as Gruumsh as his witness, the Citadel of Many
Arrows would slaughter these treacherous orcs "like elves during a
festival."
For four months, the 40.000 orcs within the citadel held their ground.
Assault after assault was mounted against the high walls of the
garrison, but the attacking orcs were losing far more than the
defenders. Still, the living conditions within the walls - never too
good to begin with - created losses of their own.
The battle for the Citadel of Many Arrows culminated during the first
week of Uktar. As another light blanket of snow sought to bury the
gathered orcs, King Greneire threw his entire remaining army at the
citadel, bursting its gates and pitting orc against orc in a flurry of
swords. As the two orc kings sought one another out along the ramparts,
the citadel began to burn.
The orcs that survive the battle still speak of the superhuman prowess
of the two kings as they battled one another before their troops.
Finally, however, King Obould ran Greneire through with his long sword,
but Obould was severely wounded by the time Greneire had breathed his
last breath. The orcs erupted into battle once again, and no one is
quite certain what became of King Obould.
It was through the smoke and snow that the victors of the conflict
emerged: the dwarves of Clan Warcrown along with a contingent of troops
from Silverymoon. Charging in through the shattered gates, these new
attackers quickly routed the exhausted orcs of the citadel, sending them
scurrying off into the wilderness.
King Emerus Warcrown now rules the Citadel of Many Arrows, though the
dwarves now call the city by its old name of Felbarr. Most in the North
still tend to refer to the city as the Citadel, however, waiting to see
if it can withstand the next orc horde. King Warcrown has put out a
call for all dwarves to help defend the citadel, and news of a new vein
of gold and silver is spreading rapidly through dwarven communities.

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 "everlastin 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 Water Deep 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.

History of Waterdeep
History of Waterdeep - Age IV, The Return of the Lords:
One day to the Courts of the Lord Magister came two people masked and
robed as the Lords of Waterdeep of old. 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 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 form 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 judgements 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 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.

Flamerule 7
Kaatje came to visit again. A sweet child, eager to learn my ways with
the wild creatures.
Flamerule 12
Dark creatures roam the forests. Several townspeople have been slain by
some unknown predator. Everyone seems to have their own opinion of what
is doing the killing. The strangest thing is that the bodies are
disappearing in the morning. This leaves me baffled, for most signs
point to a pack of wolves that have been in the area for a long time.
Wolves don't steal bodies.
Flamerule 13
Or perhaps I should say wolf-like creatures. At night while I've been
patrolling I've often caught shadowy glimpses of these 'wolves' running
alongside me. I've tried to attract their attention but they ignore me.
I find this most strange, as if the pack is being controlled by someone
else. Years ago I spoke with the pack leaders and they were cordial.
Now they either flee from me, or, and I fear to say this, they stalk me.
Flamerule 21
It is near noon and still the wood outside my cabin seems full of
shadows. I've been hard pressed to hear birds and most of the larger
animals have long fled. I plan to find the wolf's den (this afternoon).
I've drawn a map of it. All signs point to them as being the culprits,
but what wolves act like these? They are wolves with the cunning of
men.
And there is something else, a whispering in my mind. It is faint now,
in the waking hours, but while I sleep I dream only of this voice and
the face behind it. Whether it is connected to the voices, I do not
know. I suspect by the time that the sun sets tonight I'll have answers
to my questions.

Orcish Cookbook
Slice Onion, crush garlic, peel chestnuts, and cut boar into tiny cubes.
In a greatpot over a large flame heat oil; when it begins to smell hot,
toss in the elk feces, then pour in horse urine. Mmmmmm...can you smell
great food already?
Maybe use different stuff for stew if boar not available. Flesh of
genies from tomb would work well. Could use wolf men in west dungeon.
Hmmm. If only I could avoid air monster in the well, then the well
treasure would be MINE! Then could buy any stuff for stew I wanted!

Tome of Amaunator
Blessed by the light of Amaunator. The Temple of Amaunator shines like
a beacon of radiance in the hills of Umar. Amaunator wards us form the
shadows of evil. Pilgrims come from areas far off to be blessed by the
beauty of Amaunator. Amaunator is endless and without equal.
Yet our gods serves us well, in that he is constantly on vigil against
shadows. The Temple serves a further purpose towards this end.
Amaunator keeps the caster of shadows from walking the land. Any and
all who dare to taste of shadow magic should know that Amaunator and his
most holy servants will seek them out and cast them into chains within
the Temple. Lightstone, Dawn's Light, and Sun Rays are Holy Symbols,
guides in any spiritual journey that a disciple of Amaunator my embark
upon.
Blessed be the light of Amaunator.

The Vapiricus Omnibus: Unabridged
Ending the Plague of Teeth
This tome is quite ancient, and you do not recognize the tongue in which
it is written. Fortunately, Bodhi has scrawled a translation of
selected passages in the margins, as well as further questions she
apparently wished to ask on the subject.
Stuat tuo Gotha:
The resolution:
With the witch at the fore, long previous to her treachery, we did
stride the hills of Umar seeking comfort in our hour of need. The time
had come for the living to mourn no more, and the blades that were
fettered by sentiment were cut free, and it was decided that we would
speak for our lives with the sinews of our sword arms. The honored dead
that did take flight in the darkness of shadow would no more receive
sorrow from those of us that had lost their friends and relatives to the
plague of teeth.
Mornat de'pas Golvana Fathorn:
Battles when came the dead:
There came we, the army of light, armed with faith and conviction, and
we did march unto the tombs of the restless dead during hours of day.
With wooden edge we struck down master and slave, though many paid for
each thrust with their lives. In the fallen there was the danger of a
scourge anew, and many of the newly infected seemed doomed to walk again
with dire purpose.
Aegato Davon:
The plea:
"No more" cried we! Nor more would we lose to the plague. These new
fallen could not be abandoned. We had fought for our lives and theirs,
and they would not be taken. To the Temple we went, to the god of Sun
and Light. Amaunator would save them. Amaunator, whose touch turns
shadows to fire. In the arms of the Sun god were the infected placed,
and the hearts of their dark masters were laid there with them. Blood
did burn, and the dead returned, but not as undead or unliving, but
alive and freed from taint. Many did walk the light side home, when
last the plague did fall.
Relevance of archaic worship of Amaunator?
Origin of vampiric plague?
Any link to a modern cure to be worried of?
Historical document or historical fiction?
A final note is scribbled...
*Interrogate Oghma monk at Docks district temple about further
information. He should be able to provide more information on reversing
vampirism*

Umar Witch Project Journal
This journal seems to be that of an apprentice mage, telling the tale of
her expedition into the Umar Hills with two other apprentices in the
search for evidence of the fabled witch. The tale is hard to believe,
but seems to relate the group's horror at getting lost and being hounded
by an unseen predator during the nights. The script is in a panicky,
feminine hand and the last page can barely be made out as follows:
"...sorry to Joshellus' mother. I'm sorry about what happened to
Michaelus. There's something out here with us. We thought it to be
peasants but peasants aren't this clever. Joshellus says its the witch.
I hear her when I sleep. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to sleep.
I don't want..."
The journal ends here.



Two-Handed Swords

Carsomyr +5
The Holy Avenger: Carsomyr
Carsomyr is a weapon of legend, perhaps one of the most powerful blades
ever forged on Faerun, though its origin and history is thought
purposefully forgotten, such that the sword itself never overshadow the
importance of the struggles that must be fought today. It is infused
with the very essence of virtue, and requires as much from any paladin
that would hope to wield it. The evils of the Realms must truly stand
aside when this weapon is brought to bear, their magic dispelled with a
word, steadfastly resisted with ease. Carsomyr also harbors a special
distaste for the forces of evil and chaos, and such creatures must fear
additional damage from its touch in battle.

This is a cursed sword which performs perfectly under every test, save
the heat of battle. Upon entering combat, the wielder will immediately
go berserk, killing everything within reach until either calming down or

Flame Of The North
Two Handed Sword: Flame of the North
The title does not refer to the blade itself, but rather to the woman
who originally wielded it in the icy hinterlands of Faerun. Her name
was Carerra, and she was a veritable firestorm that swept across arctic
trolls and the northern orcish tribes. She was a hated enemy of many a
shaman whose magic often floundered against her fury. After a lifetime
of raucous battle, it was old age that eventually claimed her. The
sword was passed to her granddaughter, an adventurer, who presumably
brought it to Amn.

Harbinger +3
Two Handed Sword +3: Harbinger
When the hero Trueblood destroyed the Harbinger, a demon gorging itself
on the blood of peasant folk near Luskan, he bound its essence in the
only vessel capable of holding it, his fabled sword, Deliverance.
Though the evil creature was dominated by the will of the semi-sentient
blade, it was not truly defeated, and it transformed the weapon from
within. Now it acts much like any other enchanted weapon, but when it
strikes, there is a small chance that a fireball erupts, a sign that the
demon within still rages at its imprisonment. There is also a chance
that any ogre it hits will be turned to stone. Whether this is an
ability of the demon or a vestigial power of the original blade is not
known.

Lilarcor
Lawrence Lilarcor was well known, not for being brave, but as an idiot.
As the tale goes, the boastful Lilarcor left his village at the urging
of his friends so that the "great hero" could do battle with a devious
Treant. He walked for days in the dead of winter until, feverish, he
found his target and began an epic wrestling match. Unfortunately (or
perhaps luckily), the "Treant" was nothing more than a craggy old normal
oak. His friends had been jesting, not actually expecting that Lilarcor
would go fight the fictitiously dangerous tree. That might have been
the end of it, but Lilarcor, not really knowing what a Treant was in the
first, didn't realize the truth. He eventually uprooted the oak and,
marching proudly home, he declared himself a hero. Thus was born a
laughing stock of epic proportions, and over time the name of Lilarcor
became the sacrificial fool in many tales of "less than brilliance".
It is not known whether this enchanted weapon is Lilarcor himself,
perhaps imprisoned by an evil mage or some other odd coincidence of
fate, but it certainly acts in a manner consistent with his level of
competence. If it is he, he has never bemoaned his captivity. He might
not realize, or care, that he is no longer a human.
As a weapon, Lilarcor has its uses, but many a warrior has eventually
given it away. Banter such as "Ouch, that musta hurt", "Oh yeah! Got
'im good", and "Beware my bite for it might...might...might really hurt
or something" is a constant barrage on a warrior's psyche.

Two Handed Sword +4: Soul Reaver
A social faux pas placed upstart Andor Licon in a duel with Baron Eeirk,
heir to a warrior king. Though they seemed of even skill, Andor grew
oddly weaker with each hit of the Baron's family blade. Panicking, he
bade his bodyguards kill Eeirk. Despite his claims of morality, some
noted that the young noble had positioned his men before the duel was
even underway, and though he professed disdain for its dark magic, Andor
made a tidy fortune off the sale of the evil blade.

Wands
----------
Wand of Apprenti
This wand was created for you by your apprentices, and will randomly
cast a variety of three spells, each from a separate elemental source.
It apparently has 50 charges.

Wand of Cloudkill
This wand emits a vapor bubble that travels towards the target exploding
into a deadly cloud of noxious gas that expands to fill an area roughly
20 feet in radius. The cloud will instantly kill any creature with 4 HD
or less with no saving throw. Any creature with 5 to 6 HD must make a
saving throw or be slain. Creatures with greater than 6 HD simply take
1-10 damage for every round that they remain within the cloud. The
cloud will dissipate after approximately 1 turn.
STATISTICS:
Effects: 1-10 damage per round
1-4 HD: Instant death no save
5-6 HD: save vs. spell or instant death
Range: 60 ft.
Area: 20' radius
Duration: 1d4 turns
Not usable by:

Wand of Fear
A Wand of Fear strikes terror into the heart of any creature within its
target area. This panic is not universal, however, as the stout of
heart have been known to resist its magic. Like all wands, the Wand of
Fear can only be used a limited number of times before it is destroyed.
STATISTICS:
Special: Cause enemies to run in fear unless they save vs. spells
Range: 100 ft
Area: 20 ft radius
Duration: 15 rounds
Not usable by:
Fighter
Thief

Wand of Wonder
Wand of Wonder
Only those with a gambling streak dare use this wand in battle. When
triggered it is, at best, unpredictable and, at worst, suicidal. The
whimsical mage Malimak created it as a gift for a rival, though more as
a prank than with hurtful intent. The recipients's reaction is not
known, though Malimak relocated shortly thereafter. It should be used
with caution, or not at all.
STATISTICS
Special Abilities: Random effects appear each time the wand is used

Crom Faeyr
Crom Faeyr
This is the true name that the dwarven weaponsmith, Silverblade, gave to
the weapon he intended to create for his son. Alas, his son died before
the weapon was ever completed, but here it stands complete... forged
from the combined magic of the original hammer with the Gauntlets of
Ogre Power and a Girdle of Frost Giant Strength. Crom Faeyr gifts is
user with all the powers of the original Hammer of Thunderbolts, in
addition to enormous strength and the ability to kill golems, ettins and
trolls in one blow.

Hammer of Thunderbolts +3
Hammer of Thunderbolts
A dwarven smith, Silverblade, forged this hammer and two other items; a
girdle of giant strength and gauntlets of ogre power. His intention was
to gift them to his son, who was then a high officer in the dwarven
armies, fighting the giant and ogre tribes of the area. Unfortunately
Silverblade's son died just after the completion of the three items and
before they could be gifted to him. In grief Silverblade himself donned
the girdle and the gauntlets. Taking up the Hammer of Thunderbolts he
went to battle against the giant folk. He died valiantly. Alone, the
Hammer of Thunderbolts is a powerful magical weapon but when merged with
the gauntlets of ogre power and a girdle of giant strength the hammer is
transformed. This transformation requires magical assistance. The
Hammer of Thunderbolts is then capable of doing an additional +8 damage
as well as instantly killing any giant or ogre that it strikes.
