Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felvon Tavor" data-source="post: 519938" data-attributes="member: 9040">"Cormyr thanks you for your genorisity.  This will not soon be forgotten."  With this, Jorman reaches into a pocket, and removes a flawless diamond and a large pouch.  "This diamond is worth a small amount more than three thousand gold pieces, and in this pouch is your two hundred platinum pieces.  If you come back tomorrow, i should have your additional two thousand gold pieces.  As for the items, the disc, is a chakram enchanted to return when thrown, it also contains an enchantment that sharpens it's blade so as to be more fatal of a weapon.  This next item, [he indicates the holy symbol of Shar] can be used by no one in this room."  Jorman stops for a second, and makes several contemplative noises.  "Since, you have only one cleric present, and I doubt even your mages or completely up to date on the histroy of the Art, I believe I will have to start at the beginning.  Before there was Toril, or any of the Gods, there was Ao, overlord of the God's, and two lesser dieties, Shar, and Selune.  Shar and Selune warred constantly, and their battles created many of the things we know today.  During Shar and Selune's war, Selune wanted to end the war once and for all.  Selune took the essance of magic out of her body and used it as a weapon against Shar, grieviously injuring her, and creating Mystryl, mother of Mystra.  As we all know, Mystryl created magic, and when reincarnated as Mystra after the fall of Netheril, adapted it to it is as we know it.  Now Shar, for reasons unknown to mortals, created her own version of the weave, and now, her own followers can use this 'shadow weave'.  Unfortunately for those that use the weave, the magic of the shadow weave is hard to identify and counter.  The shadow weave is also unusable by all but those who follow Shar.  Worst of all though, after the fall of Netheril, Mystra eliminated the most powerful of spells so as not to tempt mortals to seek divinity or other impossibilities.  Shar places no such restrictions on her followers.  Users of the shadow weave could possibly ascend to have enough power to challenge the very dieties themselves.  This item, although of only minor power, is of the shadow weave.  Any who is not a devoted follower of Shar that attempts to use it, will take severe damage to their sanity and soul."  Jorman pauses."Now, if you wish to purchase any magic, you have a good amount of money, and my store is well stocked.  If you wish to rest after your long journey, I can send you a .... guide.... to the local inn."</blockquote>
