scimitar of speed

Ioun Stone (Greater Absorption)
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
This lavender and green stone has been fashioned
into the shape of a strange dragon; it has a long,
sinewy neck, a body like a serpent, four stout legs,
and two long whiskers that almost look like a
mustache. This is what the dragons of far-off Shou
Lung in Kara-Tur look like. While this marbled object
orbits your head, you can use your reaction to cancel
a spell of 8th level or lower cast by a creature you can
see and targeting only you.
Once the stone has canceled 50 levels of spells, it
burns out and turns dull gray, losing its magic. If you
are targeted by a spell whose level is higher than the
number of spell levels the stone has left, the stone
can't cancel it.
This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the
Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Bulkawa’s Benevolence (Staff of the Python)
Staff, uncommon (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or warlock)
You can use an action to speak this staff's command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant constrictor snake (see the Monster Manual for statistics) under your control and acts on its own initiative count. By using a bonus action to speak the command word again, you return the staff to its normal form in a space formerly occupied by the snake.
On your turn, you can mentally command the snake if it is within 60 feet of you and you aren't incapacitated. You decide what action the snake takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue it a general command, such as to attack your enemies or guard a location. If the snake is reduced to 0 hit points, it dies and reverts to its staff form. The staff then shatters and is destroyed. If the snake reverts to staff form before losing all its hit points, it regains all of them.
The body of the staff is made out of wood from a narra tree. The curved head is shaped like a snake made out of copper. The staff is a symbol of Bulkawa’s kindness and its effort to make sure that you will never face the challenges life throws at you alone.
Bulkawa, the giant constrictor snake summoned has copper scales and eyes filled with blue light. A black tattoo of a five-leaf clover can be seen near its tail.

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 item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
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 item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Tier 1, 8 treasure checkpoints

Aier (Pearl of Power)
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
The Finger of Yurtus was powered by an elven artifact known as Aier. This originated as a tiny chunk of mythal which has been drained of most of its power. In addition to serving as a Pearl of Power, it can also be used to clear blackheads and pimples not created by magical means.
While this pearl is on your person you can use an action to speak its command word and regain one expended spell slot. If the expended spell slot was of 4th level or higher, the new slot is 3rd level. Once you use this pearl, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Requires Attunement by a spellcaster.

Sovad’s Staff of Flying (Broom of Flying)
Wondrous Item, uncommon
This wooden broom, which weighs 3 pounds, functions like a mundane broom until you stand astride it and speak its Command Word. It then hovers beneath you and can be ridden in the air. It has a flying speed of 50 feet. It can carry up to 400 pounds, but its flying speed becomes 30 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. The broom stops hovering when you land.
You can send the broom to travel alone to a destination within 1 mile of you if you speak the Command Word, name the location, and are familiar with that place. The broom comes back to you when you speak another Command Word, provided that the broom is still within 1 mile of you.
This oaken walking staff is capped by a triangle of ebony inscribed with runes in Auran. When activated, ephemeral strands of spiraling energy bristle from one end and a pair of spectral wings unfurl from the other. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Syranna’s Folly (Oathbow).
Weapon (longbow), very rare (requires attunement)
When you nock an arrow on this bow, it whispers in Elvish, "Swift defeat to my enemies." When you use this weapon to make a ranged attack, you can, as a command phrase, say, "Swift death to you who have wronged me." The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn seven days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one after the next dawn.
When you make a ranged attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have advantage on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from cover, other than total cover, and you suffer no disadvantage due to long range. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra 3d6 piercing damage.
While your sworn enemy lives, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with all other weapons.
This item is found on Magic Item Table H in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
This elven bow has the soul of a Thayan rebel permanently and irreversibly entwined within it, her sigil defiled and etched into the grip. When attuned, the bearer can speak and understand Thayan, in addition to receiving the following Bond: “I will not be at peace until Szass Tam and his plots are erased from existence”.
