2 Trollbane Crystals: This small red crystals pack a very big punch. When thrown they explode upon impact causing a massive explosion. Originally based off the alchemist's fire, a magister in Ka-Rone was thrown out of the city for having invented these nasty little crystals. With only a 10' range increment, the manual (were there one) would advise users to throw them as far as possible. These crystals are thrown as a grenade weapon and upon impact deal damage as an Alchemist's Fire. However they then explode as a fireburst with a little added punch. Each crystal deals 4d6 damage to a 10' radius and an extra 1d6 versus trolls in addition to the base damage.
Faint Evocation; Caster Level: 3; Craft Single Use Item, access to the Fire and Enemy Bane (giants) Templates, fireburst; Price: 225gp; (*2 = 450gp)

Poisoner's Amulet: This small copper coin from one of the countries far to the south has a square hole punched through the middle and a thin, plain chain tied through it. When created this amulet contains 50 charges. Each side contains a command word to activate one of its two abilities. One side allows the user to detect poison, while the other allows her to increase the potency of one dose of poison as a diminished advance poison (+1 DC). Each ability costs 1 charge and when all of the charges have been expended the coin crumbles to dust.
Faint Transmutation; Caster Level: 1; Craft Charged Item, detect poison, advance poison; Price: 1000gp;

Amrinthar's Web Blanket: Originally created by Amrinthar, a litorian greenbond who built these nets to stop Chorrim who had taken to raiding the tribes of the northern plains. When thrown, this net flies upto 150' to ensnare a 20'radius spread in a heightened eldritch web. The net weighs 10 pounds but requires no attack roll to hit. Anyone touching the webbing takes 1d4 points of electricity damage each round unless they make their reflex save (DC 13). Note that this net cannot be used to construct the two-dimensional Wall version of the spell eldritch web.
Faint Conjuration; Caster Level: 5; Craft Single Use Item, eldritch web; Price: 750gp;

Waterskin - n/a weight [1 gp]

Coin: 462gp, 8sp

Appearance: Kelsis the Bright-Eyed is of medium height and build for a sibeccai woman, but her fur is a pale, almost silvery gray all over. The fur on her head is a deep black, and she wears it aggressively short, so her large ears are easily visible. Her large, dark eyes shine with an unusual intensity. She wears a simple leather coat for protection, and carries a ranseur in one hand, using it as a walking staff when not wielding it in combat. The ranseur has twelve shallow notches cut on it. Under her armor she wears simple, practical clothes; typically a loose shirt and sturdy breeches, gathered tight at the ankles and wrists, along with study sibeccai boots. All of her clothes are dark shades of brown or gray, and fairly utilitarian, with little extra finery. She has a covered handaxe stuck through one side of her belt, and keeps a dagger in her left boot. She wears a simple, though elegantly crafted silver torque around her neck and has an unstrung bow on her back.

Personality: Kelsis desires knowledge through experience, and seeks it out aggressively. This makes her somewhat of a thrill-seeker, though most would label her a fanatic. She wants, above all, to experience memorable and unique things to add her experiences to the akashic record. She doesn't believe she can do that if she is captured, and will not hesitate to use even underhanded means, up to and including poison, to secure her escape or prevent her capture in the first place. She also fears dying before she can complete her purpose, and is not squeamish about sending others to death's embrace. She feels that those that bar her way from living to complete her purpose will serve as a warning to others to not stop her. To date she has slain five rhodin raiders, a human highwayman, two litorian bandits, a hungry wolf, a mountain lion and two poisonous snakes. Kelsis is deeply religious, praying to the spirits of memory to guide her on her way through life. When prudence allows, she will often perform sibeccai religious rituals to help refresh her own spirit and purpose; these usually consist of elaborate and energetic dances around a fire, often with chanting.

She presents a curious mixture of traits. She does not avoid danger, but fears death. She doesn't shy away from wounds, but if she takes several, she may run to fight another day. While she has a great deal of knowledge of various topics, as many as some sages claim, she goes about as if armed for dire conflict. And while she seeks a higher purpose of having memorable experiences and leaving them for future akashics to use, she employs tactics some would call dishonorable. However, Kelsis never lies. She will refrain from mentioning if she thinks something isn't prudent to say, but she doesn't tell a deliberate untruth. If she says something, she means it. She hates having her word questioned. Her direct stare is somewhat unsettling, reflecting her intense purity of purpose.

Overall she is a fanatical, driven individual. However, those that are seeking out new and interesting things to do can always find a steadfast companion in Kelsis the Bright-Eyed. She appreciates those that don't swerve from their purpose, and becomes impatient with those that waver too long on decisions. While she's not impulsive, she dislikes spending too much time on anything, as she feels she must hurry to complete everything she feels she must in her life. She keeps a journal to record all of her important experiences to date. To prevent it from being easily translated, she writes every third word in a different language, switching from Draconic, to Infernal, to Celestial, and back in a fairly random pattern. One would have to know all three languages well to translate her journal on the fly.

Backstory: Kelsis grew up with a deep inner knowledge of something that most sibeccai don't even consider; the knowledge of her own mortality. She realized from an early age that while other races may live hundreds of years, the sibeccai were the fastest growing, and dying, race of the Lands of the Diamond Throne. Kelsis developed an inner terror that she wouldn't live long enough to make her mark on the world. She feared that she wouldn't be able to learn fast enough to make an name for herself. Her single-minded desire for knowledge led her to the path of the akashic. Training under another of the relatively rare sibeccai akashics, her mentor, Isakres the Clever-Handed, found her to be much more interested and able in the areas of obscure knowledge rather than the artistic skills. After setting her loose from her training, Kelsis traded her skill in languages for some tutoring in some underhanded or simply illegal techniques that she felt would be vital to her own personal quest of self discovery.

Kelsis now travels with a group of adventure-seeking individuals she has deemed trustworthy. Like a true-thrill seeker, she hopes her companions will lead her to great adventure, and allow her to find the experiences she craves to fulfill her life's purpose.

Appearance:
Vayj is a dashing yet frail Spryte, unusually tall for his kind, which still places him at a mere one foot three inches. His pale blue hair compliments the billowing deep-blue robes lined with silver and tiny sapphires that make up his magister's outfit, and his long hair is plaited back gently. His golden-emerald locket, which he refuses to remove under any circumstance, is a perfect match for his bright green eyes. He is highly protective of this locket, and cherishes its safety above even that of his Magister's Staff, willing, uncharacteristically for him, to kill anything and everything that dares to separate him from it. Ebonfall, his enchanted-obsidian staff, is also capped with a brilliant emerald.

Personality:
Vayj is usually inquisitive and cheerful, although he is prone to deep fits of sadness on occasion. Vayj's two favourite pastimes are studying eldritch mysteries and appreciating pretty girls. When it comes to girls, he prefers humans, sprytes who used to be loresong faens, and loresong faens, in that order. If he sees a pretty quickling faen or spryte who used to be a quickling faen, especially if she is unfettered, he becomes particularly agitated and uncomfortable and attempts to remove himself from the situation. He refuses to deal with such women on any regular basis, which has caused him to stay away from his homeland of Thayn. He finds mojh creepy, partly because their looks creep him out and partly because he finds a former female mojh to be a great waste and a former male mojh to be incomprehensible in its priorities.

Background: Its a secret! Although I am sending it via e-mail to Isida

Patron Deities:
Gaerkayoth, god of the sparkle of the emerald at the tip Vayj Silverwind's staff Ebonfall in the gleam of dawn
Vyriea, goddess of the act of worshipping Vyriea
Bliaryol, god of skipping breakfast in preparation to load up on fruit juice during an early lunch
Paelinae, goddess of allowing Vayj switch out his list of prepared spells for a set that will be more useful in combat
Jiibraal, god of pretending that your wings are tired in order to convince a pretty girl to let you sit on her shoulder and then dangling your legs in naughty places and hoping that she won't slap you because you're just a cute, innocent little spryte
Naylraeia, goddess of pretending that there is something dangerous behind your enemy's back and then flying away when she looks to see if its true.
Praidois, god of looking crosswise at Mojh because they are creepy and the Dracha at least have wings, and wings are cool.
Liyaariessa, goddess of composing poetry in the middle of something else that is probably more important and then insisting that your companions have no taste in art when they try to convince you that there are more important matters to which to attend.
Gaelysiarai, goddess of soaring through the balmy heights with the breeze in your face as you smile and look down on the people of the world instead of looking up at them all the time, for a change.

Magic Items
Malhavoc’s Manual of Mastering Minor Magicks: This book (supposedly penned by Malhavoc himself) gives the reader a +5 bonus on Knowledge-Magic skill checks when referred to. (as per Book +5, 250 gp base)
Additionally there are many Minor Spells within the pages of the Manual that can be used as Scrolls. Once a Spell is used, it disappears from the pages forever. Leondegrance has learned this by trial and error. The spells that are left are as follows;
Acrobatics (CL: 1 LVL: 1 25gp)
Analyze (CL: 1 LVL: 1 50gp)
Bash-Heightened (CL: 1 LVL: 1 25gp)
Detect Disease (CL: 1 LVL: 0 12.5gp)
Detect Poison (CL: 1 LVL: 0 12.5gp)
Learn Secret (CL: 1 LVL: 1 25gp)
Location Loresight (CL: 3 LVL: 2 150gp)
Precise Vision (CL: 1 LVL: 1 25gp)
Seeker-Heightened (CL: 1 LVL: 1 25gp)
True Strike (CL: 1 LVL: 1 50gp)
(All Craft Spell Completion Items, Total Cost 650gp)

Skill Stone: Not unlike the Akashic ability to draw upon the collective memory. These crystal stones, due to their unique composition, are able to store the ambient collective memory of the area and focus it through a user. Using the stone can add +10 competence to any skill used within one round of a charge being expended. They are typically created with 50 charges. (Canny Effort-Heightened, CL: 1, LVL: 1, Craft Charged Item, 750gp)

Parfum de Charme: This pungent perfume is said to be the distilled tears from a tree nymph. Regardless of it’s origins, one dose imitates the effect of a Charm spell. Leondegrance only has one dose. (Charm, CL: 1, LVL: 1, Craft Single Use Item, 50gp)

All-purpose fixit crème: This greasy goop comes in a small jar. One application to any broken item it will magically fix minor breaks, tears or punctures, as per the Repair spell.
(Repair, CL: 1, LVL: 0, Craft Single Use Item, 25gp)

Trollskin Bandages: These bandages are said to come from the skins of trolls and alchemically treated to transfer the troll’s regenerative properties. Each bandage turns 1d10+1 times 1.5 damage into half as much subdual damage. Leon carries 10 of these. (Transfer Wounds-Lesser, Modify Spell, CL: 1, LVL: 1, Craft Single Use Item, 60gp each)

Mojo-bag: Leondegrance wears this tiny leather bag, bound a leather cord around his throat. It was given to him by a Barbarian Shaman during his first adventure. It provides the wearer with a +1 resistance bonus to all saves. (as per Cloak of Resistance, 1000gp)

Everclean Explorer’s Ensemble: This magical outfit is Leon’s favorite. It is an explorer’s outfit (10gp base) that has been enchanted to cast Hygiene once per day upon the wearer.
(Hygiene, CL: 1, LVL: 0, Craft Constant Item, 200gp)

Monocular Magnifying Mystical Unmasker: This device looks like a large magnifying glass with gold-inlayed runes adorning it’s handle. It is, quite simply, a Detect Magic Wand with a Magnifying Glass built in(adding 100gp). One must look through the glass to use the Wand’s function. It comes built with 50 charges. (Detect Magic, CL:1, LVL: 0, Craft Charged Item, 475gp total)




Coin: 6pp 5gp 1sp

Appearance: Leondegrance has a naturally powerful build, but sports a bit of a belly from lack of exercise. He has somewhat of a "baby-face" that makes him look some years younger than his actual age. He sports a goatee to detract from the roundness of his face and his slight lack of chin. Despite this, Leon manages to present a somewhat attractive appearance, perhaps due to his mane-like head of hair. He can be most often garbed in his explorer's gear Despite daily usage for years, the outfit maintains a crisp "just bought" appearance. The magicks of his outfit allows Leon to maintain a meticulously clean appearance despite the harshest of conditions.

Personality:
Leondegrance is a friendly sort, but can come off as somewhat arrogant, though well intentioned. He loves all things ancient, especially magical artifacts. He especially enjoys his many "toys" and has a fondness for anything that has a dual purpouse, and has armed himself accordingly.

Backstory:
Leondegrance was born the bastard child of a local Duke. While he possessed no claims to titles or land, he was afforded the privilege of a education at a University, and excelled in many subjects. His teachers would often comment on the lad's natural aptitudes, but his lack of focus on any particular subject, and a definitive lack of trying to do his "personal best." That was, until he visited the ruins of an ancient temple. Unbeknownst to him it was an Akashic Node. Leon was overwhelmed by images of the past at that ancient site. Slowly he learned the extant of his abilities, and found unlike other akashics, his powers extended somewhat into the animal kingdom. Leon also began to then immerse himself with any subject regarding past mysteries, and began his career as an archeologist/treasure hunter.

Wooden Bracer of Tem'nar: This stiff oaken bracer fits tightly to the wearer's arm. Upon command (command word - "Oak Tree" in Draconic) the bracer slowly begins to transform. The transformation takes one full round. Pieces of wood seem to fold out of it until a full shield sits attached in place of the bracer. Etched into the surface of the shield is the symbol of Tem'nar, at twined circle surrounding a strong oak tree. This shield provides a +2 shield bonus while conferring no armor check penalty, spell failure chance, or maximum dexterity. Each use drains a charge from the bracers eventually they will become brittle and break off. The shield lasts for 2 hours/charge. Normally they are made with 50 charges. Rumor tells of a companion bracer for the other arm which grows into a suit of bark armor for the wearer.

Appearance/Background/Personality:
Ra Pharod was 92 years at the time. He could remember rather vividly – it was the arm that disturbed him the most. Some ungodly creature had been attached instead, and the combination made the young giant’s head spin and stomach turn. The fight had been brief; more words were tossed than spells.

Vile words, the darkbond had said. Hissed, rather, in a most inhumane manner. A few moments later, Pharod was badly wounded, both arms bleeding from repeated fighting with the dark one’s minions. He knew it wasn’t a fight he could win, but rather than stand by the grove, he fled.

He fled until his legs were stone and jelly at the same time; and then ran some more. There was terrible sensation in his chest; was he wounded there? He searched for an entry wound and couldn’t find one. Had it been a spell? Pharod discovered quickly that he wasn't wounded in the chest. What the terrible feeling was, he didn't discover until later. It was shame.

Months later, his forest was defiled and Pharod didn’t know how to reclaim it, only that he must, or not only his life would have been a waste, but the culmulative lives within the forest would have been subjected to an evil of unfathomable darkness. It was not something Pharod could live with. Or die with. Reclaim it he must, but where to start? That was the real question.

Balthazar found him in a most unkempt state, wandering the streets of Jerad drunk and feverish. His faen friend was most interested in Pharod’s tale; never had he seen him in such bad shape. Pharod’s dark hair had grown to unpresentable lengths and the loose clothing Pharod wore were now rags from use. He hadn’t washed in days. Weeks, maybe. He owned no home and shared no friends. As far as his belongings; what he could sell, he had long since sold. What was too sacred to sell, he had hidden in the trunk of a tree on the outskirts of town. He didn’t know whether it was still there, but he didn’t care much...

2 Trollbane Crystals: This small red crystals pack a very big punch. When thrown they explode upon impact causing a massive explosion. Originally based off the alchemist's fire, a magister in Ka-Rone was thrown out of the city for having invented these nasty little crystals. With only a 10' range increment, the manual (were there one) would advise users to throw them as far as possible. These crystals are thrown as a grenade weapon and upon impact deal damage as an Alchemist's Fire. However they then explode as a fireburst with a little added punch. Each crystal deals 4d6 damage to a 10' radius and an extra 1d6 versus trolls in addition to the base damage.
Faint Evocation; Caster Level: 3; Craft Single Use Item, access to the Fire and Enemy Bane (giants) Templates, fireburst; Price: 225gp; (*2 = 450gp)

Ring of Dawn’s Fiery Aura - This electrum ring is studded with small round rubies along its band. Each of the rubies has been bathed in the light of exactly five dawns since being drawn from the earth, and was blessed in the name of a different Dawn god at each bathing. At will, as a move equivalent action, the possessor can call forth the power of the Dawn Gods, wreathing his hand (or approximate appendage) or weapon held, with flames. The flames bring with them the soothing warmth and hope of the dawn, but do not harm the possessor. The flames bestow an additional +1d6 fire damage on a successful hit, then dissipate. Price 3,000gp

Coin: 241gp, 1sp, 2cp

Appearance: Lord Balthazar D’still y Aybara de Silva is tiny. He is slim and tan with dark blue hair and piercing emerald eyes. He keeps his hair carefully styled and shoulder length, wearing a carved silver coronet (the symbol of his birthright). He only ties his hair back when he is expecting vigorous activity (which he typically avoids). On his left hand is a platinum ring set with a small green jade stone, carved in the shape of a rising sun. He wears a stylized leather jack for protection, carrying a faen nunchuku on one hip, and DawnsEdge on the other. His traveling clothes are all of the finest materials, in dark greens and blues.

Personality: Balthazar carries himself with pride and languor, typically riding the shoulder of a companion, instead of bothering to flap his wings (or Blehn forbid, allowing his feet to touch the ground). Balthazar plays the careless, bored noble, but those who spend any time with him quickly learn that his curiosity is his driving characteristic. While not foolish, he seeks out new places, creatures, beings, activities, and events. While most sprytes follow the path of magic, Balthazar’s training from his childhood as a quickling left him unable to abandon the path of the warrior. If born a loresong faen, Balthazar almost certainly would have become an investigator or even an archeologist. This overwhelming curiosity left him no choice but to experience the Metamorphosis. His parents would never have approved, but Balthazar simply didn’t consult them.

Balthazar is a Born Leader. While he has never sought a position of authority, and has actively avoided becoming caught up in the governing of his father’s domain, he has always found that people look to him for guidance.

Backstory: Balthazar is the child of one of the more powerful faen in ruling court of Harrowdeep. Balthazar’s parents are both Loresong Faen. Surprised that their child was born a quickling, they accepted that Antina had spoken, and decided to train him to fulfill his natural abilities.

Trained from birth to be a master of dueling techniques, his dawn-light weapon practices have gone beyond ritual. Balthazar discovered that each morning’s blade work revealed the existence of a new god to him. Balthazar calls these the Dawn Gods, and his peculiar ability to discover a new one each day has affected him strongly. He considers it a great loss to the faen people if he misses a morning practice, for he is sure no one will ever discover the god he lost the chance to reveal. Each of the god’s names and purpose is carefully recorded in Balthazar’s journal, and made available to any faen who expresses interest. Currently, Balthazar stores a number of filled journals in his fathers home.

Recently Balthazar has left his home in the Harrowdeep, and begun traveling the world with his friend.

Crystal Flame Necklace:This necklace is made of small fire colored crystals in different sizes. The crystals are created by dragons to contain part of their breath. When broken from the string, they will explode within seconds, giving just enough time to be thrown at a group of enemies first. Currently, there are 5 big (2d6x1.5) and 8 small (1d6x1.5) crystals on the necklace. The crystal is thrown as a ranged touch attack, and explodes in a 10-foot-radius burst. A successful reflex saving throw (DC 11) halves the fire damage inflicted.

Appearance:
Ke'ch'rhal has yellow eyes and red scales, with a much darker red, almost black, horned crest running down from the top of his head, along his back and halfway down the tail. He has a pattern of short sharp horns in the same dark red color across his skull. His wings are of a lighter red color, and moves constantly, emphasising his words and supporting his balance.

Dressed in a devanian chain shirt over a short vest and trousers of simple Drachan cut, which still looks somewhat odd to most people in this new land. (Even without the holes for wings and tail that is.) Around his neck is a necklace of red crystals, and between his wings rests a slim cloak, glittering as silver scales, gifts from the dragons to protect him in his duties. On his left arm, he carries a loosened shield, emblemed with a dragons head. Attached to his back is a great composite bow and a big quiver, and at his side hangs a sword with numerous spikes and bladed protrusions, one as big as an axehead. On his belt are several pouches containing a variety of miscellaneous items as well as a simple dagger and an axe, more designed for utility than fighting.

Personality:
Ke'ch'rhal is dedicated to improving himself, and to proving his worth; to himself, other dracha, the dragons, or whoever happens to be nearby. He always tries to stay self-sufficient if possible, and if ever forced to accept someones aid, he makes sure to repay the debt in full.

He doesn't have much humor and tends to look obliviously at someone making a joke, failing to get the point of it. When faced with an obstacle, Ke'ch'rhal will typically try the most direct rout first, and only if that fails try to think of a way around it. When he has time over, Ke'ch'rhal tends to use it to practise his combat rites and stances for hours on end.

Backstory:
Ke'ch'rhal was amongst the first Dracha sent over to Serranstel, the ancient Land of the Dragons, a year ago to scout the land and it's people. Wandering wherever he heard of something interesting occuring, he tried to help the people when he could, to show them the greatness of the dragons he served through his actions.

For four months he stayed in a village where he had helped drive of some goblins harassing the local farmers, learning the basics of combat rites from a grizzled human veteran who had retired there. After that time he set out again to wander the world and prove it his worth.

Appearance: Scinathar is a Mohj. It's neither male or female. It stands almost 6' tall, and by all glances of his skinny, blue-green scales most would assume it weighs close to 140 or 150, but who knows (besides the gods). It's limbs are long and gangly looking, and it has long fingers good for manipulating hand held objects. Across its head and down its back is a ridge of sharp, dark blue scales that set it apart from other mohj, and its green scales have a slight, blue tint to them. The transformation was a success, but Scinathar looks different than other mohj. Some speculate it's destined for greatness, others say its destined to bring down a great travesty upon the land. Scinathar doesn't know which; it just wants to find its place and survive. It has a tounge that slithers out, almost like a snake. This startles many non-mohj, who don't understand and never will.

It wears a long brown cloak, dirty to try and make itself look poor so others won't bother it. It walks with a walking stick that's as tall as it is. Scinathar doesn't talk to much, unless spoken to directly. Scinathar doesn't understand large cities or customs of large gatherings. Not even as a human previous did it understand why people gravitate towards gatherings.

Scinathar is puzzled even more by this hidden inclination that has caused it to travel north, where people are gathering because of these rumors of rare metal and mysterious magics playing around up there. Something calls, perhaps something powerful, and Scinathar wants to find out what that something is.

Scinathar also wants to try and discover, for itself, how it is that mohj came to be in the first place. Scinathar knows it may take it's entire lifetime to understand this.

Personality: Scinathar, upon the transformation, really does see everybody else as vastly different. Everyone is nonmohj. He is mohj. It's that simple. When it refers to other nonmohj, it will make a reference like man-person or giant-guard or faen-person, or sometimes simply nonmohj. The mojh knows it's looks offsets others, and part of it is curious about that, and part of it loves that. Scinathar doesn't see the use of long conversations, so when it speaks it is too the point, and it's tone may come off commanding. It's not intentional, its just that small talk doesn't impress the mojh, and it sees it as a waste of time.

Background: Quick overview: Travelled alongside a bound litorian oathsworn. Drawn by fate to Deepstorm a powerful witchery site. Became its guardian (one of three) and was granted winter witch powers. Worked with Verrik conclave and Deepstorm to heal the region. Deepstorm granted vision on vague darkness looming over the faraway town of Jerad. Scinathar set out to discover what it was and why Deepstorm had wanted him to be involved. (will elaborate later)
