Coat of the Fiery Guardian
When Royce woke up from his years long slumber he wore this piece of esquisite leather armor.
It is a red-brown color, decorated by etched images of a firey inferno. When looking at it just the right way one can almost see the face of a laughing fire elemental, cleverly intertwined in the fire.
On the backplate in a vertical column, a series of fiery inscriptions in Ignan read the message "Who dare to defy Ibn Al'Van. Who dare to brave the fiery waste. Fear me and be consumed."
Crimson Coat of Ilpharrz, 28,300gp - Complete Arcane
Crown of Al'Vanisho
The second and perhaps most impressive item that Royce wore when he woke up is a circlet of silver, shaped in the front as a crown of flames.
It is burning with a bright light that cannot be quenched or extinguished. The magical flame does not hurt the wearer.
When born the crown makes the bearer see everything more clear, as if a fog had been liftet from its mind.
Headband of Intellect +6 - 36,000gp
Got a Continual Flame spell cast on it.
Crimson Shroud of Ronnja.
The only keepsake Royce has from his parents.
It was always worn by his mother at feasts and gatherings. This deep orange cloak makes the bearers presence more apparent, and people will more willingli follow and listen to the owner.
After getting the runes on the back of his leather coat translated by a traveling scholar, Royce decided to bear this cape at all times, hiding the message for unwanted eyes.
Cloak of Charisma +4 - 16,000gp
Dinner's Ready
Apart from his extreme fear of anything liquid, this is the only thing Royce inherited from his fater.
From an early age his father, being the paranoid man he was, lectured Royce in the dangers of eating and drinking. Especially drink was dangerous. Royce never came to understand why it was, but still to this day he fears any liquids, and will not eat unless absolutely forced to it.
This ring, pried from his fathers stiff fingers after the raid, provides
the wearer with sustenance and energy through the day.
Ring of Sustenance - 2,000gp
Band of the Unseen Servant
The only item at a holy shrine at the top of a deserted pyramid, Royce found a simple ring of Ivory.
On the inner side of the band a phrase was inscribed in hieroglyphs. After some research Royce was able to translate the phrase himself, and when he did he chuckled darkly to himself, no-one in particular and the world in general.
The phrase was "Now you see me, now you don't"
Ring of Invisibility - 20,000gp
Gythasinxionsi's Gift
One late night alone on the dunes Royce encountered a wounded Gynosphinx.
Spending the night in eachothers company, the two souls exchanged stories, anecdotes and riddles. The sphinx promised Royce a price in the form of a magical item, should the young elf be able to tell the sphinx a riddle she would not be able to solve. It was in the early morning that Royce was able to trick the sphinx and tell a riddle she was not able to solve.
"It occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, and yet never in one hundred thousand years."
The sphinx handed him a pink stone and turned to fly away when she looked over her shoulder and said "Thank you, addled one, for your company. May our paths meet again." with a wide grin.
Royce was left with the feeling that in reality he should not have won the stone.
Pink Rhomboid Ioun Stone - 8,000gp (+2constitution)
Shiv'rooc
This blade, the only martial weapon Royce is in possession of, looks like an ordinary, though well made, scimitar. Its hilt is wrapped in rugged leather, and the blade is the best steel.
Royce worked with a band of mercenaries called the "Sting of the Scorpid" for a time, untill he found out they were working for a wealthy merchant trading in slaves. In his anger he confronted the leader of the band to single combat, and the leader accepted. The fight was a long one, and in the end they were both bleeding heavily, soaking the sand with red, sticky goo. The leader charged one last time, striking Royce in the shoulder with his scimitar. At the impact a fiery explosion combusted from the scimitar, and both the combatants were fully engulfed in flame. They should both have perished, but to Royce's suprise he was left unsinged from the fire. The leader was not as lucky, and when Royce took up the blade and turned to the rest of the mercenaries, whom by right of combat should be under his command now, they fled.
After countless unsucessfull tries to get the blade to work properly, Royce lost his temper, threw the blade away, and as an afterthought sent a fiery ball of explosion its way. What happened amazed and thrilled him at the same time; the blade seemed to absorb the spell cast at it, and for a few seconds it glowed with an orange light before turning back to its usual self.

Info:
Being a son of a nomad Royce early on learned the dangers of the desert. It was fated, he now "knows", that the tribe would be exterminated. It had been an exceptionally hot night on the dunes and the gurads was tired and unfocused. The savage orcs went through the camp like a hot knife through butter. None were left alive - except Royce. He was lucky and survived, but not unhurt. He suffered a vicious blow to the head that would forever leave him slightly addled. He wandered alone for days, crawling from one oasis to another. One day his strength ended, and he fell asleep.
Ten, or so, years later he woke up in the desert again. Any recollection of past years were gone, but a new-found strength of mind had surfaced. He soon encountered a band of goblins, bickering amongst themselves and tossing around the remains of what looked like a elven baby. A fury filled his mind, and his vision was blurry as he attacked the goblins without fear. Minutes later the goblins were no more, all that remained was ashes and bones. Amazed at his own, till now unknown, abilities Royce started to carefully tap into his now considerable powers. He could throw around spells of destruction with ease - and spells dealing with fire even more easily.
So now he wanders the desert seeking for anything that might tell him what he did the last ten years and where his powers came from.
