Moon-Touched Sword
equipment (wondrous item, sword)
Category: Items
Item Rarity: Common
Properties: All sword types. In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.

From 1340 to 1385 DR, Lord Mattus Althorin ruled a small fiefdom in the Border Kingdoms near the Lake of Steam. Lord Althorin ran his council and maintained peacein his lands with the assistance of the Knights of the Holy Judgement, an order of paladins who emphasize the "lawful" part of their dedication to Tyr. To dispense Tyr's most brutal judgements, Lord Althorin commissioned the creation of a magical greatsword, which he dubbed "Tyr's Justice". During his rule, several different paladins belonging to the Order of the Knights of Holy Judgement claimed the headman's sword as their own. When the Spellplague ravaged Toril in the Year of Blue Fire, the Border Kingdoms devolved into a lawless frontier of outlaws and would-be rulers, and the sword was lost for nearly a century. It later resurfaced in the Moonsea region. Other than the balanced scales of Try's holy symbol etched into its blade, the sword is intentionally simple in appearance, mirroring Lord Althorin's predominant belief: "Justice is not pretentious or vain. It is simple and true, and the right of every man, woman, and child, no matter how rich, poor, educated, or ignorant they may be."

Wondrous item, Very Rare

This Bag of Devouring is linked to the stomach of an ancient white dragon. Cold air flows from this bag when it is open. A harmless 5 ft radius wave of frigid sea water splashes out of the bag whenever a creature is pulled in. Turning the bag inside out closes the orifice.

The dragon attached to the bag can sense whatever is placed inside the bag. Animal or vegetable matter
placed wholly in the bag is devoured and lost forever. When part of a living creature is placed in the bag, as happens when someone reaches inside it, there is a 50 percent chance that the creature is pulled inside the bag. A creature inside the bag can use its action to try to escape with a successful DC 15 Strength check. Another creature can use its action to reach into the bag to pull a creature out, doing so with a successful DC 20 Strength check (provided it isn't pulled inside the bag first). Any creature that starts its turn inside the bag is devoured, its body destroyed. Inanimate objects can be stored in the bag, which can hold a cubic foot of such material. However, once each day, the bag swallows any objects inside it and spits them out into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. The DM determines the time.

If the bag is pierced or torn, it is destroyed, and anything contained within it is transported to a random location on the Astral Plane.

Wondrous item, Common

By default this Cloak of Many Fashions bears the words, “Dr. Jubal’s Carnival! Coming Soon to …”
followed by the city Dr. Jubal’s carnival is expcted to visit in a tenday. Dr. Jubal sometimes gets delayed or erratically changes his mind, so the advertisement is accurate 75% of the time. In addition, the wearer always feels confident, as if all eyes are on them. This cloak can be worn over other cloaks.

While wearing this cloak, you can use a bonus action to change the style, color, and apparent quality of the garment. The cloak's weight doesn't change.

Regardless of its appearance, the cloak can't be anything but a cloak. Although it can duplicate the appearance of other magic cloaks, it doesn't gain their magical properties.

Chest of Preserving
Wondrous Item, Common

This common wondrous item has the following magical property: food and other perishable items do not age or decay while inside it. The chest is 2½ feet long, 1½ feet wide, and 1 foot tall with a half-barrel lid. It weighs 25 pounds.

The chest strangely smells of cabbages.

Gray Robe of the Archmagi
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a sorcerer, wizard, or warlock)

Originally crafted during the height of the Netherese Empire, this robe is a warm gray color and very plush. It is stitched with silver thread and the back is covered by Rhaugilath’s arcane sigil mixed with the sign of Mystryl.

This elegant garment is made from exquisite cloth of white, gray, or black and adorned with silvery runes. The robe's color corresponds to the alignment for which the item was created. A white robe was made for good, gray for neutral, and black for evil. You can't attune to a robe of the archmagi that doesn't correspond to your alignment. You gain these benefits while wearing the robe:

If you aren't wearing armor, your base Armor Class is 15 + your Dexterity modifier.

You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Your spell save DC and spell attack bonus each increase by 2.

Rooster (Wand of Wonder)
Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Rhaugilath’s efforts to record the history of the Netherese Empire sometimes incorporated some unsavory elements… such as the transmogrification of a chaos sorcerer into this elegant wand. Covered in swirls, whorls, dizzying patterns, knobs, and clicky bits, it thrums and hums in your hand.

This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and choose a target within 120 feet of you. The target can be a creature, an object, or a point in space. Roll d100 and consult the following table to discover what happens.

If the effect causes you to cast a spell from the wand, the spell's save DC is 15. If the spell normally has a range expressed in feet, its range becomes 120 feet if it isn't already.

If an effect covers an area, you must center the spell on and include the target. If an effect has multiple possible subjects, the DM randomly determines which ones are affected.

The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into dust and is destroyed.

91-95 A burst of colorful shimmering light extends from you in a 30-foot radius.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
96-97 The target's skin turns bright blue for 1d10 days. If you chose a point in space, the creature nearest to that point is affected.

If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is instantly petrified. On any other failed save, the target is restrained and begins to turn to stone. While restrained in this way, the target must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the target is freed by the greater restoration spell or similar magic.

Skeggox (Battleaxe +3)You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.

Weapon (battleaxe), very rare

This impressive battleaxe possesses a massive haft with a huge gear turning gently atop it. Connected to the gear are a series of gnashing blades that extend when the weapon is wielded against giants. As a bonus action, a dwarf or a character that worships a dwarven deity may brandish this weapon and gain advantage on one Charisma (Intimidation) check. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until the following dawn.

This orb of granite is about the size of an adult human’s fist. The stein (stone) rune appears on it in the form of crystalline veins that run across the surface. The orb has the following properties, which work only while it is one your person.

Indomitable Stand. As an action, you can channel the orb’s magic to hold your ground. For the next minute or until you move any distance, you have advantage on all checks and saving throws to resist effects that force you to move. In addition, any enemy that moves to a space within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be unable to move any farther this turn.

Stone Soul. You can’t be petrified.

Earthen Step. You can meld into stone as a bonus action. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Gift of Stone. You can transfer the opal’s magic to a nonmagical item—a weapon or suit of armor—by tracing the stein rune there with your finger. The transfer takes 8 hours of work that requires the two items to be within 5 feet of each other. At the end, the orb is destroyed, and the rune appears in silver on the chosen item, which gains a benefit based on its form:

Shield. The shield is now a rare magic item that requires attunement. While you wield it, you have resistance to all damage dealt by ranged weapon attacks.

Boots. The pair of boots is now an uncommon magic item that requires attunement. While you wear the boots, you have advantage on Strength saving throws, and you can use your reaction to avoid being knocked prone.

While holding this wand, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls determined by the wand’s rarity. In addition, you ignore Half Cover when making a spell attack roll.

Staff of Power

Requires Attunement by a Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard

This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class, saving throws, and spell attack rolls.

The staff has 20 charges for the following properties. The staff regains 2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff retains its +2 bonus to attack and damage roll but loses all other properties. On a 20, the staff regain 1d8 + 2 charges.

Retributive Strike: You can use an action to break the staff over your knee or against a solid surface, performing a retributive strike. The staff is destroyed and releases its remaining magic in an explosion that expands to fill a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on it.

You have a 50 percent chance to instantly travel to a random plane of existence, avoiding the explosion. If you fail to avoid the effect, you take force damage equal to 16 x the number of charges in the staff. Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes an amount of damage based on how far away it is from the point of origin, as shown in the following table. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage.

Distance from Origin — Damage:

10 ft. away or closer — 8 x the number of charges in the staff

11 to 20 ft. away — 6 x the number of charges in the staff

21 to 30 ft. away — 4 x the number of charges in the staff

The Eye of Xxiphu

Wondrous item, legendary

While not a truly intelligent item, the Eye of Xxiphu bestows terrifying insight into the true nature of the nightmarish aboleths. The attuned possessor of the Eye gains telepathy out to a range of 120 feet, and may cover themselves in coat of mucous that allows them to breathe underwater as well as on land. The petrified orb is large and heavy, but does not need to be held in order to use its powers. Additionally, aboleths have disadvantage when attacking the owner of the Eye, and the owner has advantage on ability checks in regards to knowledge-based ability checks about aboleths and the Far Realm when they are not in combat.

Tome of Understanding

Very rare

This book contains intuition and insight exercises, and its words are charged with magic. If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines, your Wisdom score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

flavour: The cover of this iron-bound book is scribed with many swirling tentacles. A character carrying the book is always aware of eyes from a distant realm following them

Ascendant Gem Dragon-Touched Focus
Wondrous Item, Legendary (Requires Attunement by a Spellcaster)

This wondrous item can be a scepter, an orb, an amulet, a crystal, or another finely crafted object. It typically incorporates imagery of dragons’ wings, claws, teeth, or scales. Due to the strange magic that trapped Amaranthraxine’s spirit in the walls of Xorvintroth, this hoard item can’t increase or decrease in power.

You have advantage on initiative rolls. While you are holding the focus, it can function as a spellcasting focus for all your spells.

Whenever you use a spell slot to cast a spell, you can immediately teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you.

While you are holding the focus, you can use it to cast the following spells: Rary’s telepathic bond, Raulothim’s psychic lance.* Once the item is used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn.

When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher while holding this focus, you can treat the spell as if it were cast using a 9th-level spell slot. Once this property is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

• This spell originally appeared in Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons and is included below for convenience.

The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 7d6 psychic damage and is incapacitated until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t incapacitated.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
