But I tend to play games set in the Known World and it seems like 1 in 10 magic items was cursed in those old modules.How about this...WINTERSCARRED SILVER (DC 20)History: The death of Olaf Stonesinger and his bodyguards in the Winterscarred Mountain was a great loss to their clan. In tribute to the Olaf and his bodyguards, 8 silver ingots were forged and were left with their bodies in the tomb to mark their sacrifice for the good of the clan. Olaf’s courage against the gargantuan remorhaz became a legend to be respected and remembered. It became a tradition that each day the men of his clan toiled for silver in the Winterscarred Mountains and each day the men of his clan would visit the tomb of Olaf to pay their respects. The clan was blessed for their reverence and dedication to traditions for centuries, until a young thief named Razul Shalesplitter stole one off the silver ingots and fled. In outrage at the sacrilege perpetrated by one of his clansmen, Kragmor Thornwarmer, the high priest and spiritual leader of the clan, brought his god’s fury to bear upon the claim. First he laid a powerful curse on the remaining 7 silver ingots and then he called a great glacier down upon the mountains sealing the tomb and silver mine off from the rest of the world. The clan was forced from their holdings, their prosperity, and their traditions. Now the clan exists as a shadow of its former glory and its members endlessly travel and search for the missing ingot that has robbed them of their destiny.Description: Winterscarred Silver is the name given to any of the 7 remaining ingots that were first laid in remembrance of the Stonesinger sacrifice. These ingots are palm-sized, square and have been stamped with the image of a miner’s pick. They possess no magical properties beyond their two-fold curse. Any creature who takes one of the silver ingots for their resting place in Olaf’s tomb is immediately seized by the curse and will not part with his ingot unless he is trying to returning to it rightful resting place. Any time another creature asks the cursed creature for material or finance assistance the cursed creature must make a Will save (DC 18). If the save is failed the cursed creature must provide that assistance to the creature as best he can and make a second Will save (DC 18). If the second save fails as well the cursed creature will explain, “I freely will give all that you ask and I can provide for I, like a base villain, have stolen a silver ingot from the sacredStonesinger Tomb and it is all that I will ever need.” This curse can only be lifted ifall 8 silver ingots are returned to the Stonesinger Tomb in the Winterscarred Mountains.
