Weapon (arrow), Uncommon Vasteel has strict regulations on the sale, distribution, and use of pyroilluminations within the city’s walls. Regulators have cracked down so hard that, during the Harvest Festival, there isn’t much available aside from noise poppers and sticks that flare into the shapes of animals. As a young boy, I had the bright […]

Weapon (Shortsword), Uncommon When fighting in mines and caves, swordplay can be challenging. Most Dwarves simple default to a sturdy axe or hammer which have less finesse, but aren’t prone to the mobility issues swords sometimes have. The small group of Dwarves that do wield swords, will often commission a cave sword from one of […]
Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement) When Dimlodir was in its infancy, an ancient order was formed to protect the budding settlement. The elite group of dwarven warriors called themselves the Stone Lords. They had mythical mastery over the stones and used the natural environment to fend off countless invasions. Today, the title of Stone Lord […]

Melee (Axe), Uncommon A grudge axe is a grisly weapon that feeds off the souls of its defeated enemies. Many outsiders can’t imagine the dwarves capable of such savageness. To be fair, the grudge axe was designed during the second epoch, a dark and hopeless time for the Dwarves of Dimlodir. Goblins had swarmed many […]
Armor (chainmail), Rare (Requires Attunement) The Granite Defenders of the Dimlodir vault are gruff and sturdy dwarves that have weathered many wars. Their appearance is made even more unyielding while clad in their heavy chainmail. Each ringlet of the chainmail is made of animated granite. At the wearer’s command, the armor can stiffen and become […]

Armor (Shield), Uncommon (Requires Dwarven Ancestry) Among the dwarves, the clan is more than family. It is their identity and protection. Nothing exemplifies this more than the decorative clan shields that many dwarves in the Dimlodir mines carry. The ornate pieces display the heritage and ancient family ties of their owners, but more importantly, they […]

Armor (Plate), Rare In the deep mines, the easiest way to fend off an enemy is to rig every corridor with deadly wards. With relatively little effort, you can create devastating coke points that can stall even the most vicious enemy advance. That is, of course, if your enemy doesn’t have a squad of ward […]
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement) The famed Glyph Wardens of Dimlodir are renowned for their skills as scribes. They are often hired by royal courts and wealthy government leaders to create magical barriers of protection and defenses against assassination. A Glyph Warden is nothing without their gauntlets. As their abilities grow, a warden will […]

Weapon (Pickaxe), Legendary (requires attunement) The Goldpick is a valuable family heirloom and the namesake of the Goldpick Clan. Legend has it that the pick was not always magical but after thousands of years in the hands of the greatest miners in the Vast Kingdom, it developed its unique ability to find valuable treasures. This […]

Weapon (Hammer), Very Rare (requires attunement) The mythical forge hammers of Dimlodir were crafted from metals culled from the Molten Lake and fused with powerful magic. Even after centuries, the hammers are hot to touch as if they had just come of the Smith’s anvil. While the Forge Hammers have been used by many of […]

Wondrous (Boots), Rare (requires attunement) There is not a race more cognizant of foot health than the Dwarves of Dimlodir. They will spend as much time with a cobbler as they will with a blacksmith when fitting a new suit of armor. Their effort pays off. I never once hear a dwarf complain about sore […]

Wondrous, Very Rare (requires attunement) There are a handful of examples of magical girdles that give a wearer the strength, facial hair, and drinking capacity of the dwarven people. It’s unfortunate they are as highly sought after as they are. They play on crude stereotypes and misrepresent the majority of dwarves. When I discovered the […]

Weapon (Short Sword), Rare When it comes to creating sentient magical objects, you never know what you are going to get. In the case of the Vanity Blade, some of the creator’s ego may have rubbed off. Mechanic This blade deals 1 damage unless you stroke its ego. Flattering the sword requires a successful DC […]

Not all dark magic is intentional. This corrupt potion bag is an excellent example of how good intentions mixed with shoddy magic technique can produce unintended effects. Mechanic This bag has six compartments each holding a vile filled with a potion. The compartments are neatly labled, “Health”, “Strength”, “Speed”, “Focus”, “”, and “”. As […]
Wight Lord’s Helm Wondrous, Legendary (Requires Attunement) When Prince Zoulhond, a brilliant Siotia military general, was killed in battle the royal family sunk into despair. Not only had they lost a dear son and sibling, but the kingdom had begun to collapse without his leadership. In an act of panic and despair, they had this […]

Wondrous (trinket), Very Rare (Requires Attunement) This nightmarish necklace is a lodestone for departing souls. A fleeing spirit caught in its aura is snatched and dragged into a dark limbo. The wearer can later unleash its captured ghosts to create a gale of dark protection. This feat comes with a price. The few accounts written […]

Armor, Very Rare (Requires Attunement, Good Alignment) For elite combat troops that often find themselves in the fiercest parts of a battle, the Herald Lancers wear surprisingly little armor. Their protection comes from complete faith and devotion to Basion, the god of justice. The force of their trust is strong enough that it manifests as […]

Weapon (Bow), Rare (Requires Attunement) There is a vast region of black glassy crags in the Lost Hills known as the Obsidian Cliffs. Streams and ponds in the area hold scalding water that fills the air with steaming fog on cold mornings. The people that live in the area are distinguished for their skill at […]

Weapon (Whip), Rare (requires Attunement) To the North of the lost hills lives a tribe that rides large flightless birds native to the area. The birds are astonishingly quick and agile. While them might not be able to match the speed of well-bred horse, they could easily outmaneuver it. To stay light and flexible in […]
Weapon (Halberd), Uncommon Every year, the Vasteel City Council issues several design challenges that inventors can compete for. The ideas that are chosen receive handsome contacts and funding. The Wall Halberd is a design that came about because of one such contract commissioned for the City Wall Guards. The challenge was to create a weapon […]

Weapon (Ax), Rare (Requires Attunement) Barbarism is not typically associated with the central lands of Vasteel. It is often thought of as something distant you might find in the Outlands–though, this is due to stereotyping more than actual research. It comes as a surprise to many people that a tribe living near the Direwood Forests […]
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement) The Cultists of Kojorn use foul candles to shroud their rituals in darkness. When lit, these waxy tapers produce a thick black aura that slithers around the worshipers and seeps into their minds and hearts. To anyone unaccustomed to their ceremonies, the sensation can be maddening. Mechanic You can use […]

The jungle tribes in the far south are known for preserving the severed heads of humanoid creatures they deem worthy to “keep around.” The process typically involves soaking the head in a mixture of magical chemicals and then leaving it out to dry. The head shrinks to almost a quarter of its original size and […]

Umbri, the god of mischief, receives a disproportionate amount of attention among the gods of the Cross Seas pantheon. Travelers to the islands often wrongly assume that she is their principal deity. If asked, any islander will helpfully tell you that a forgotten offering is readily forgiven by the other gods, but neglecting Umbri is […]
