Magic item help requested

Baron Opal

First Post
I need some magic items for a senario I'm running, and thought to ask the community here for a hand. The BBEG is collecting (stealing) items that have a general theme of healing, restoration, fertility, etc. Once he gains enough he will perform a great ritual that will ressurect a champion of his cause. (He doen't have access to the clerical spells). What are the items?

A little background: I am using the Arcana Unearthed rules set by Monte Cook, so these items should have at least some tie to the Green, the life-force of the setting. Adventures by Necromancer Games form the backbone of the plotline, namely The Wizard's Amulet, Crucible of Freya, and The Tomb of Abysthor. Current items involved:

The Crucible of Danu (Freya): can heal and restore fertility, even raise the dead. (Stolen, retrieved by the players)
The Dancing Grotesque: A large tektite, carved to reveal the spirit within. The celestial spirit grants wisdom, desire for self-determination, courage. (Stolen, sought by players)
The Pouch of Seven Seeds: Littoran artifact. (Lost long ago, found by the BBEG, need help on this one) Littorans are a lion-race, proud, kinda Apache'-like.

Details on the Pouch and two more would be delightful. Thanks.

4. Phylactery of Wound Closure, easily found in your Dungeon Master's Guide
5. Gnomish Kama Sutra, not so easily found in the Book of Erotic Fantasy, but available as a preview at the Valar website.

Though I'd think about making the Gnomish Kama Sutra maybe something about childbirth and wetnursing if you prefer something less comical, though I'd bet a gnome would consider it deadly serious. ;)

As for the pouch of seven seeds, maybe each seeds represents a different aspect of life, or perhaps they represent the opposite of the seven deadly sins. Or it could be representative of the first seven Litoran tribes, or seven meals they fasted for or some other significance of the number 7. Or maybe it magically grows 6 additional seeds if 1 seed is placed inside.
 


Yes, that's Valkyria. That doesn't fit the theme however. The BBEG is looking for items to fuel a vile ritual and the sword doesn't have the right flavor for the ritual. Good idea, though. Actually, the sword did make an appearance. The PCs wondered why Laurel's (the NPC) eyes got big when she drew it for the first time, but had more pressing matters to attend to.

enworldatemylogin, I like the concept of each seed representing something about the littoran culture. Understanding of each aspect unlocks a different power or insight. I've hinted to the player of the littoran in my game that it is a significant lost cultural treasure, perhaps even bordering on "minor artifact" status. Now I just have to figure out what it does.

Still thinking,

Baron Opal
