🔥 A full, well-cared beard can be a symbol of social standing in many dwarven cultures. Steel Beards were invented to mimic beards lost to accidents. They magically turn into fine steel threads to preserve one’s standing and also confer the gifts of dwarves to non-dwarves.

🔥 Once belonging to the keeper of a tavern in the busiest city of all realms, this key ring has traded hands and planes many times, holding odd and even magical keys on occasion.

🔥 No symbol of the Forgotten Hero’s feats has made such a mark in the memories and stories of the people as their sword, Glory. Passed down to the hands of those that swear to protect people with their lives, it can still reflect the Hero’s inspiring light to this day.

🔥 There are tales of the Forgotten Hero’s ascension to the leadership of the realm they saved. A symbol of their virtuous rule, this crown was marked by their memory, still preserving some of their courage and wisdom.

🔥 This cloak once fluttered on the back of a hero that saved the realm, only to have their name forgotten by history. Despite being ruined, this banner of heroism was preserved, and can lend both the hero’s anonymity and their once shining glory.

🔥 Weapons like this are hewn from one of the Magiphage’s bones, its flesh writhing around it, hungry for magic. Such blades are seen as heralds of Chaos, as the Magiphage’s forces are sure to follow them.

🔥 Fragments of the Magiphage’s body seek spellcasters throughout the worlds, attracted by their proximity to magic. When one of them catches their prey, they impede spellcasting by feeding on all magic energy, but their mere presence is dangerous to those that sling spells.

🔥 This shield is a minuscule fragment of the Magiphage’s sidereal body. This aberration is said to rest at the center of the universe, a being antithetical to reality itself that feasts on magic, the weave of existence.

🔥 The magic that roils inside as Primeval Source is more than a spring of elemental power or the capacity of transforming the element it rules, but it can also impart its elemental nature. Everember does so almost unprompted, setting those that touch its flames ablaze.

🔥 Colossal lightning bolts seared the Primeval Age’s skies, discharging magic over the earth. All that was caught in the destruction was charged with magical potential, as was this relic with the power to manipulate electricity around it—a Primeval Source.

🔥 The Material Realm was once much more permeable to magic, home to even more wondrous monsters, beasts, and peoples, and ravaged by unchecked elemental catastrophes. This ancient age of elementalism left scars and artifacts of great power, now known as Primeval Sources.

🔥 The wood elf sages know of the subtle powers of nature, weaving clothing out of plants they grow from magically prepared seeds to wield them. Smells, perfumes, and roots are the strengths of plants and they don’t go unnoticed by the guardians of the wild.

🔥 All beasts have their place in the web of life, one day a hunter, prey by the next. Often raised to be the wild’s guardians, wood elves have learned to harness its unbridled power, summoning the aspects of beasts through their magical green swords.

🔥 All forests are cut by life-giving rivers, its roots and beasts drinking deep of the waters. Wood elves have long cultivated pebble charms to absorb the rivers’ currents, leaving them to rest on the riverbeds, making them capable of keeping evil at bay with an unseen force.

🔥 Mimic colonies—or mimicries—behave in strange ways, often emulating the behaviors of bigger organisms. The Mimicking Suit copies the trappings of knights to stalk and prey on the unsuspecting. These days the colony is mostly inert, able to be used as mostly regular armor.

🔥 As current science shows, mimics have two needs: tricking people and eating (people, most of the time). If an adventurer keeps them fed and gives them opportunities to transform, they’re happy to stick around and even pull their weight, as the Mimic of Holding literally does.

🔥 Sticky is a defenseless mimic incapable of shapeshifting into nothing but gloves, lacking convincing disguises or a bite to fend-off attackers. A little smarter than usual, it has the habit of befriending those who wear it, aiding them in exchange for protection.

🔥 By far the most mysterious phenomenon recorded in mimicology is the Misleading Light, an eccentric mimic of uncertain origin that could imitate a source of light, but that also possessed psychic capabilities aimed to confound its prey.

🔥 Made by experimenting on strains of mimics that preferred transforming into weapons, this one was designed to reign supreme over all other arms. The monster’s shapechanging abilities are employed to mimic all weapon types and to battle in all ranges.

🔥 Some mimecologists claim to have observed specially weird mimics that have grown a taste for things beyond treats and trickery. This mimic would only transform into a spear and serve only its master, dissolving their enemies with acid, hungry for battle.

🔥 The Fateweavers specialize in all manner of woven magic and take interest in the skills of other cultures. This cloak of a now extinct, winged, folk was repaired by the weavers with glimmersilk, bringing their wings back from the beyond.
