Here is my take on some of the items found in LMoP: TALON (+1 longsword)Creator: Dwarven. The dwarven Clan Goldhammer created this longsword for House Tresendar in the Spellforge of Wave Echo Cave.History: Bane. The orcs of the Sword Mountains hated Claw and still tell stories of this longsword in their caves, passing its infamy to the younger generations.Minor Property: Sentinel. When an orc is within 120 feet, Claw begins to glow in a silvery light.Quirk: Loud. Whenever a critical hit is scored with Claw, the screech of a hawk is heard loud and clear.HEW (+1 battleaxe)Creator: Dwarven. The dwarven warrior Rorek Belgar created this battleaxe in the forges of Southkrypt.History: Bane. The dryads of Kryptgarden Forest hated Hew and so the fey of the Swordcoast North still tell stories of this battleaxe in the twilight under the trees of their forest home.Minor Property: Rusty. The axehead appears always rusty and unimpressive no matter how passionate the polish, but it deals maximum damage when the wielder hits a plant creature or an object made of wood.Quirk: Disturbing. Whoever carries the axe feels uneasy whenever he or she travels through a forest.SPIDER STAFFCreator: Demons. The demonic inhabitants of the Demonweb Pits created these staffs for Lolth’s drow arcanists on Toril during her grab for the Weave.History: Sinister. These staffs are linked to a deed of great evil: Lolth’s plan to replace the Weave with her own Demon Weave and becoming goddess of arcane magic. Arcanists venerating Mystra or even Shar and knowledgeable of this fact (Religion 20) treat the bearer with suspicion.Minor Property: Language. The attuned bearer can communicate with spiders as if speaking their language. Quirk: Wicked. When the bearer is presented with an opportunity to act in a selfish or malevolent way, the item heightens the bearer’s urge to do so. (When in doubt the DM may ask for a Wisdom save DC 10)STAFF OF DEFENCECreator: Wizards. The wizard guild of Phalorn created this staff, but only few arcanists, sages or collectors would recognize this fact today.History: Arcane. The people of the old realm named Phalorn considered diversity a virtue. In Phalorn lived humans, elves, halflings, dwarves and gnomes together in peace and harmony, respecting the mannerisms of the various other races. The wizards of the realm were just like their neighbors of human, elven, gnomen, halfling and even dwarven descent and agreed on the dragon as an ideal being combining the strongest traits of each race.And therefore the wizards of Phalorn created various magic items in the form of miniature dragons or featured a draconic aspect in their design.Minor Property: Strange Material. In this particular case the wizards of Phalorn used ancient Netherese formulars to make the glass as durable as oak wood.Quirk: Confidence. The item’s bearer becomes confident and somewhat self-centered, just like the dragons its creators idolized.</blockquote>
