[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 4032449, member: 70"] [b]Artifacts & Items of Power[/b] [B]Culm [/B] A medium shield crafted all of iron, [I]Culm[/I] bears no emblem. Any attempt to paint or inscribe an emblem on the shield is destroyed the first time the shield is wielded in combat. When [I]Culm[/I] blocks a blow in combat, the shield reverberates and booms like thunder. The wielder and anyone standing behind him are immune to the effects of these cacaphony; those in front are not so lucky. If the wielder strikes [I]Culm[/I] with his weapon, or beats on it like a drum, [I]Culm[/I] sends forth low, rolling peals of thunder capable of instilling a potent magical fear in the enemy and sending them fleeing. If [I]Culm[/I] is struck by an opponent, the thunder is far more potent. The weapon which struck the shield is often destroyed, and the weapon's wielder is wounded and deafened by the noise. Those in the area of [I]Culm[/I] also suffer injury, and may be struck deaf as well. The whereabouts of this shield have been lost; it was last reported over three-hundred years ago in use by a Vorisk raider. [B]Iedain, Crown of Songs [/B] This fabled headpiece resembles no conventional crown. Said to be formed of songs made solid, the [I]Crown of Songs[/I] appears as a band of shimmering light, broken by 9 evenly-spaced transparent crystals. A 10th crystal hangs over the bearer's head, and lines of magical force link it to the 9 crystals about the band. The [I]Crown [/I] grants the abilty to sing without flaw or imperfection, and that singing can charm women and men, bring the beasts of field and forest, and even bind the emotionless creatures of the elements to the bearer's will. The [I]Crown of Songs[/I] is said to be a seductive artifact, however, and those careless with it may find themselves to sing more and more frequently as they grow to love their own voice above anything, until they eventually waste away, unable to stop singing for a moment. [I]Iedain[/I] may also be recognized by the soft and gentle murmer of voices that surround it; these voices are soothing in the extreme, and if the [I]Crown[/I] is masterless, the voices often bring an enchanted sleep on those who encounter it, leaving them open to less intelligent and susceptible predators. Tetallia Silver-Tongued was the last known bearer of the [I]Crown of Songs[/I]; she frequented the Hollow Land hunting linnorms in the Kameurhorns until her (presumed) death two centuries ago. ------------------------------------------- [B]Giantkiller[/B] Crafted in Sarn five-hundred years ago, [I]Giantkiller[/I] is a +[I]2 bane (giants) bastard sword[/I]. It also confers a +10 bonus to the Knowledge (Giant) skill. It can identify most major giant types and clans around Sarn, but its knowledge of factions and alliances is five-hundred years out of date. [I]Giantkiller[/I] was last seen in the hands of a fuah barbarian in the Shalanwode several years ago. [B]Telsingem[/B] A longspear with an distinctive curved blade, [I]Telsingem[/I] was crafted by a faerilven runic smith over a thousand years ago. The shaft is of a dark brown wood as hard as iron; the blade is iron intermingled with mithril, streams of brown in a gleaming silver surface. [I]Telsingem[/I] is a [I]+2 longspear [/I] that grants the wielder a +5 circumstance bonus to Balance, Jump, and Tumble checks when in hand. [I]Telsingem[/I] has long circulated in the Shadowend, periodicly being lost and regained. It is was last in the possession of Kurmolt of Kurmolt’s Band, a mercenary/adventuring company that disappeared in Asavar a decade ago. [/QUOTE]
