[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2907245, member: 19675"] 1) It is the fist of an elemental- the bastard child of an Efreet and a Jann- who had thought to raise an army and usurp his father's throne but was defeated, his parts scattered throughout the planes. If all the parts are reassembled, he can be reanimated... 2) It is nonmagical, but is important symbolically to a certain Clan of Dwarves. It was the "artificial hand" of the Clan's founder, Ranar "Stonefist" Kuergart. He lost his real hand in a battle to claim a mountain stronghold from Orcs (who had taken it from Humans). Over time, it had become the symbol of rulership for that clan, but was lost in raid by Drow that resulted in the scattering of the Clan. Restoration of the Hand of Ranar Kuergart to a Kuergart Clansman could lead to the reunification of the Clan...or to political infighting. 3) It is nonmagical. It was not created in the usual sense however- once, it was an actual hand! It belonged to a human who became fire opal when exposed to a powerful Medusa who grew up in a wild magic zone. Her petrifying gaze turns victims into precious stones, and there are creatures out there trying to find her- among them a polymorphed dragon and a Dwarven Loremaster who both want her (ally or slave) to add to their respective hoards...
