"Do not go to the elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes." -JRRTolkien

"Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!" -JRRTolkien

“A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.” -JRRTolkien

Magic Items

  • Blade Summons: With a bonus action, may summon the blade to hand as long as the blade is on the same plane.
  • Legacy of the Aula: Grants the ability to speak, read, and write Tienne. Sometimes interacts with Remnants artifacts in unexpected ways.

• Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location: Attuned. Remain hidden from divination magic and similar effects. Cannot be scryed.

Alchemical Items

• Campstone (5): These small disks of alchemically refined flint are used to start fires quickly. By placing the disk down and placing something flammable atop it, all it takes is striking the item with something made of steel. The alchemy refines the flint’s natural spark-creating trait, causing it to flare a small fire to life, catching whatever is set on it afire immediately. Each stone has ten uses before it shatters.
• Alchemist's fire (2): Ranged Attack. A targeted creature or object struck by the contents of this vial bursts into flame, taking 1d4 fire damage at the start of each turn. A creature may end this damage by using an action to make a DC 10 Dexterity save to extinguish the flames.
• Sleep gas (0): Ranged Area Attack. Creates a cloud of gas in a 10’ radius of the point of impact that lingers for 3 rounds. Creatures within the area must make a DC 13 Constitution save or be a ected by the gas. Creatures affected take the Stunned condition on the turn in which they are affected, and then fall asleep at the end of their next action. For one minute after, only damage or someone taking an action to wake them can rouse them; after that, the sleep is normal, and simple jostling or loud noises can wake them.

Magic Item Formulas

• Daern's Instant Fortress (Rare) • Requires: one of the following:
  • a) one of the crystal anchors that Nalu'ae uses to bind it between Isenes and Faerie - they would be somewhere within the deep forest, the region where the boundaries between worlds and time blur and from what Talmarkin has told you, is ruled over by a fae called the River Lord
  • b) the "heart" of a roken phase golem, known as "ghosts" - constructs that had been built for infiltration and assassination. With luck, a recently discovered roken fortress might have just this sort of thing.
  • c) if Dolgrim and Talmarkin are correct and they do what they theorize - one of the Pylon cores would do
