Relics of Power
The following Magic Items are transcribed from the Sierra Birthright game "The Gorgon's Alliance" (by Robert C. Clardy and Kirt Lemons). In many places I have added descriptions or modifications that do not match the items as they are presented in the game, but this was nesscessary for them to make the transition from computer game to live game.
Amulet of Inspiration - This ornate golden amulet has a large star saphire set in its center. The amulet's history goes back to a time before the settling of the Cerilian continent. Originally made to rally the followers of Anduiras, this item has found its way into the hands of Rulers who found they could use its powers to embolden thier own people. And has since lost any "Holy" connections. Although it has still been used by Priests, faith is no longer an issue. In game terms the Amulet of Inspiration raises the Morale of all Units by 1 level when the Regent wearing this item is in thier presence.
Banner of Roele - This banner was made by a Blooded Mage who fought with the Roele's at Mt. Diesmaar, and bears the standard of the House of Roele upon it. As the banner was woven the mage infused energy into the fabric that made all those loyal to the bearer swell with pride and courage. In game terms as long as the Regent bears this banner all Units with him/her never fail a Morale check. *Note:* This item only works on Human Units.
Barazad's Tools - This set of golden tools was crafted by Dwarves thousands of years ago. The set consists of 25 various tools that are linked magically. If the tools are moved more then 100 yards away from one another they disappear and return to their oaken chest. The chest itself is unadorned but very sturdy. In fact it is magically and virtually indestructable. A group of craftsman using these tools reduce the cost of what they are Building by 25%.
Chalice of the Dead - This gold and silver chalice was forged by loyal Priests of Azrai to be used in the war against the tribes living in Cerilia. With it a Regent can Muster, and command, 1 Unit of Skeletons for 1GB per DT. The possession and use of this item is considered an evil act.
Corgandal's Staff of Transport - This tall wooden staff is wrapped in gold wire, and its surface is etched with various magical runes. The maker of this item was long ago forgotten but it still bears his name, and Mages have struggled with its secrets unable to duplicate the items unique magic. When using this item the cost of the Transport Realm spell is reduced to 1 RP and the Source requirement is reduced to 0.
Crown of Command - Created by an unknown ally for the first Goblin-King of Thurazor. It is a simple looking iron circulet studded with various small gems. Any Regent using this item gains 1 extra Domain Action per Domain Turn. It also has the effect of raising the wearers Int. by 1 point while wearing the crown.
Danica's Crystal of Scrying - This flawless ball of pure crystal is rumored to have been plucked from the shattered remains of Mt. Diesmaar. However it gained its powers, it got its name from the first recorded Mage to ever possess it. Besides functioning as a standard Crystal Ball, this item allows a Mage Regent to cast 1 free Scry realm spell once per Domain Turn. The Regent may view things up to 5 Provincies away without any basic cost.
Dierdrien's Ring - This is a simple brass band that will shape itself to fit any wearers finger. The Mage Diedrien wrought this band sacrificing some of his own Bloodstrength in its making. With this ring a Mage Regent can attempt to Forge 1 Ley Line as a free Action once per Domain Turn.
Faele's Ring - This holy object is said to have been made from metal that was once part of Anduiras' armor. The band shapes itself to a wearers finger, and grants a Priest Regent 1 free Realm spell per Domain Turn.
Gavelon's Staff of Prosperity - This short silver rod was a gift from the Elves of the Erebannien. It will only function in the hands of a Priest Regent. Any Priest possessing it gains a permenent Bless spell on all Proviences that he/she has a Level 1, or better, Temple Holding in.
Robes of the Masses - Woven by the same Mage who made the Banner of Roele, these robes help inspire all who see them. The robes themselves are a deep blue and have intricate silver threading throughout. A Regent wearing these robes gains a +5 to any Agitate action that they make.
Regalia of the Empire - This fine set of imperial robes are made of a brilliant golden material that shimmers with a divine aura. Again made by the Mage who crafted both the Banner of Roele, and the Robes of the Masses, this magical cloth was made to aid an Emperor in single-handedly ruling his empire. With these clothes a non-Priest Regent can perform an Investiture ceremony and get a +5 to thier success roll. A Priest Regent using these robes gains a +10 to thier success roll during an Investiture. These clothes may only be used once per Domain Turn.
Scepter of Cuiraecen - Shortly after his rise to godhood, Cuiraecen returned to Cerilia and formed his first church. To his High Priest Cuiraecen granted a golden scepter topped with a massive ruby. This item became a symbol of their religion for hundreds of years. In all but a Priest of Cuiraecen hands it is just a ornate scepter. In the hands of a Priest of Cuiraecen it is much more. If the Priest is a Regent all Units under his/her command gain a +1 to thier Attack. Non-Regent Priests of Cuiraecen can use the scepter to cast 1 12d6 Lightning Bolt(as per spell)per day. Of course Regent Priests may use that ability as well.
Torc of Splendor - This item was made by Dwarves shortly after the first Humans arrived on Cerilia. Appearing as a rather old piece of non-precious metal engraved with a form of knotwork, this item has a rather profound effect on those dealing with the wearer. The torc grants the wearer a 18 Charisma, and gives Regents a +10 to all Diplomacy Actions they make.
