Crafted Artifact

Protection Bracelet

Created by Vel, given to Mike Carson.
A leather cuff with spots for multiple charms. It carries several temporary charms(consumables) and 2 more permanent fixtures: a shield made of 2 wings with a symbol of a Asclepius impressed into it, and a runic pattern prominently featuring a celtic knot on its face and on the reverse, script reading "For those who love us not, may God turn their hearts, else may He turn their ankles so we will know them by their limp"
Crafted by Mike Carson

This charm typically comes on a necklace or bracelet of some kind, potentially with other consumable rune charms. When an enemy approaches in an otherwise calm situation it becomes noticeably warm to the user, imbuing them with instinctive knowledge on their relative location. If one is feeling exceptionally threatened, one can trace the pattern of the rune for several seconds while chanting the words engraved on the reverse side of the charm (exact words may vary depending on who the charm was made for), channeling the energy within it to activate its full detection and reveal the locations of all enemies for the next hour. Overuse, however may strain the mind and lead to paranoid or unhinged thoughts patterns.

Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Trace the lines of the runic design while reciting the words inscribed on the reverse side of the charm. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.

You automatically detect all beings who intend you harm within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

If no beings who intend you harm targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

You may only use this Effect once per day.
Crafted by Vel

The legendary sword Rannira

Created and held by Sir Arthur King.
Currently Lost.
A long sword

A longsword with a blade light blue like the reflection of moonlight on a lake. It’s guard looks as if it was made of pure gold. The hilt is the color of emerald with symbols and insignias that had their meaning long forgotten to time. The pommel seems to have been made out to the same material as the guard.

The tale of the sword tells ,that a king of older days sought out to create a weapon which would make him the most invincible warrior under the sun. He called upon a witch who told him to bring 10 bars of gold and 10 if the best emeralds at full moon to a mystical lake at the outskirts of the kingdom and that only a just king is worthy of holding such blade. The king brought the items there and as instructed put them in the water of the lake. He saw that the light of the moon hit the center of the lake , a women whose Beauty was not matched emerged from it with the legendary sword in hand.

The sword made the old king unstoppable he went against the wishes of the witch and started a crusade to accumulate as much land and power as he could. It was a time of the shedding of blood and the shedding of tears.

The blade was turned from its holy blue into a demonic red and the hunger for blood seemed to would have never ended. That’s why the son of the king sneaked into his chambers one night and used the forsaken sword to cut of the kings head.

The son returned the sword to the lady of the lake at full moon to wash off its sins. Once the water touched its blade, the red colour faded away and left behind the original blue colour. The lady inquired if he wanted it back but the new king knew that he was equally as unworthy as his father was to wield such divine weapon.

It was laying there barren until now!
