The Bazaar of the Bizarre: Beast of Talgora article is up and it is fantastic. On the crunch side is a 6 item set based around a mythical beast, they are Paragon tier and look quite interesting on their own.
But, it is the fluff side where this article shines, providing a legendary beast which may be the progenitor or ultimate evolution of animals whose spirit lives within the items and is trying to regain it's physical form. Add a mysterious organisation trying to stop this, and some plot/roleplaying advice for when parts of the set are close this article gives a nice example of how to create a plotline around magical items.
I would love to see more of this kind of thing especially in modules.
