Legacy Artifacts: Difference between revisions

Attunement to the Heirloom Shield allows its bearer to direct it with little more than a thought, and those who prove their heroism may even learn to command it to protect their friends or attack their foes.

|Forged from dark, occultic energies, Kaladbolg is suffused with a lingering darkness, its obsidian blade impractical at a glance, yet sharp as Avadrium. Attuning to Kaladbolg allows its wielder to enhance their martial capability while casting spells, deal Necrotic damage, and even consume souls.

|You have come into the possession of a small golden orb, gem-encrusted and roughly the size of a human fist. A small golden cross is situated on top of the orb. Nobody quite knows the origin of this orb, but it is commonly accepted as a token of great religious and political importance. It is said that the physical remains of many saints and great monarchs from ages past are contained in a small chamber within this orb, and that the orb’s wielder is able to commune with these sages.

|-

|A mystical stake capable of delivering devastating blows to vampires, the Stake of the Tree is carved of wood taken from the Tree of Life itself. Even though this stake has been cut and fashioned into a deadly weapon, it still sprouts with living flowers and can even grow additional stakes ready to use at a moment’s notice. As the stake was taken from the Tree of Life itself, this weapon actively avoids harming living creatures, but holds no such compunctions about undead and makes exceptions for fiends.

|-

|A large, exquisitely crafted crossbow, the stake thrower is specially outfitted to shoot thick wooden stakes rather than typical crossbow bolts. It also has a secondary chamber into which potions and bombs can be loaded. The original prototype for the stake thrower was drawn up by Joana Harker, and the weapon itself was crafted by Herb Richard in the town of Broken Shield.

|-

|The throwing crucifix is a sturdy vampire-hunting weapon made by Joana Harker’s own father. Constructed from a careful carpenter’s composite of pine, oak, and hickory, the throwing crucifix is essentially four stakes that have been bolted together, gilded in silver caps, and joined at the crux with silver and gold ornamentation reminiscent of a sunburst. Carvings resembling the tree of life decorate the shafts of each of the stakes, as well as carvings depicting the four seasons. Given its elaborate religious connotations, the throwing crucifix is an excellent tool for hunting or defending oneself from an array of vampires and fiends.

|-

|A small pendant bestowed upon a worthy soul by Tovare herself, this pendant can be activated to cause a silvery-gold halo to emit from its bearer. This not only shields the bearer from harm, but protects their nearby allies, as well.

Tovare is the goddess often portrayed as being in charge of the Celestial Council. She professes the need to cultivate the world around you, always leaving it better than you found it. She typically takes the hard road of offering redemption to those that have wronged her, rather than becoming vengeful.

|-

|The handle of this whip resembles the hilt of a sword, and is embellished with small rubies embedded in the pommel and in the center of the crossguard. The tip of the whip shifts in form and function at the merest thought from the wielder, and though it often appears as a spiked morningstar, it may also commonly manifest as a large hook, a heavy chain, or a ball of holy fire.

Attunement to the Venator Whip allows its bearer to easily maneuver the unwieldy weapon, and, with practice, to control the finer motions of the whip as if it were one of their own limbs.
