WORLD OF GREYFEATHER

Artifacts

There are several magic items and artifacts that are native only to Greyfeather. Many are thought to have been destroyed or lost, but not all.  Some are in museums or in private collections of Greyfeather's noble houses, but some are lost to history, and can be located within the borders of Greyfeather.

Breastplate of Kensak:  This breastplate was forged by The Overseer when Kensak IV ascended the throne.  It is completely indestructable, not even acid submersion will destroy it.  It holds royal crest of the Kensak family and is housed in the Greyfeather Museum under heavy protective spells.

Death Blade:  This is the vorpal long sword that was wielded by Kensak IV during the Age of Heroes, thought to be lost somewhere in Greyfeather having disappeared shortly after the Kensak's death.  It was taken from the hand of a Githyanki Knight who was sent to assassinate Kensak IV.  The blade was a sentient blade that despised Kensak, at first.  After some serious training sessions, Kensak mentally conquered the blade, the blade became the preferred weapon of the king.  He named it Death Blade for its vorpal capablilites.

Dillon's Axe:  Dillon, one of the land's greatest dwarven warriors, made this two handed axe himself when he was just a simple blacksmith in the Ogre's Teeth Mountains.  When he fell to an ancient red dragon at the age of 210 years old, Draco granted the axe great powers to match it's former owner.  This item has been lost to history, having disappeared over 100 years ago.  Not even the oldest dwarf knows where it is at.

Dragon's Heart:  A large, heart-shaped ruby that gave the person who held it power over red dragons.  The Dragon's Hearts were gems of many colors that could be used to control dragons of corresponding color; blue over blue dragons, red over red dragons, and so on.  Greated by the Overseer in attempt to control dragons who threatened to overrun Greyfeather, he quickly hid them when he realized the power that they contained.  The ruby is the only one known to be found.  It was destroyed by a group of adventurers that included Nicolas Ravenblade and Raina Stormbringer, who had been hired to retrieve it, when the true nature of the gem was revealed to them.

Els’Quentath:  A magical staff said to be of fairie descent, handed down to through the Be'Gesamer family to its current owner, Gabrielle Be'Gesemer.  Its true power is unknown, though it is thought by some that its enhances the power of the person who wields it.

Gerth's Orb:  This orb is made of pure crystal and shaped like a diamond, but that belies it's true power.  This is probably the most powerful magical artifact known in Greyfeather.  Found by the great red dragon Gerth, this object is ancient and very powerful.  It calls to people who it believes it  can control then uses them to place itself into powerful circles, where it corrupts even more people.  Gerth, who befriended Kensak IV when the dragon was old and beyond the power struggles of mortal men, never subcomed to the orbs talking, but instead, bested the artifact.  When Gerth died, Kensak IV closed off Gerth's lair to outsiders and kept it hidden from scrying eyes, thus the artifact has been lost for over four centuries.

Jelan's Dagger:  This is the dagger that the hero Jelan, the halfling thief, carried throughout his life.  It was all ready enchanted but when Jelan died his friend (and God of the neutral pantheon) Rabban, added power to it.  This item was lost to history during a pitched battle between Jelan and his companions, and the forces led by Lord Bife, who later became king.

Kensak's Hammer: The Overseer granted Kensak IV this weapon to assist him in battling the Shadow Queen, who was working to destroy all of Greyfeather during the Age of Heroes. The weapon resides in the Greyfeather Museum under heavy protection spells.
