Magic Items

This sturdy suit of plate armor is crafted of damascene steel. The armor is clearly of dwarven make, from the sturdy lines of the helm to the stout, angular greaves.

The ancient sword hilt is made of orichalcum. In the pommel is a ruby cut in the shape of a blazing sun, which sheds dim light for 10 feet when within 60 feet of undead.

History:
Alisandra Solina was the leader of a paladin order called the Dawnfire Knights, named after Solina’s holy sword. The order was tasked with locating dangerous objects, the magical remnants of Netheril and Narfell. and destroying them if possible or imprisoning them if not. Their temple of Cear Coron Llachar, Bright Crown Citadel, served as a vault for the dark relics collected during their crusades.
Solina and her templars ambushed a giant’s war band south of the Moonsea between the rivers Lis and Duathamper. The battle was fierce, and many knights fell before the invaders were routed and the frost gaint Vornjolnir slain. In the aftermath, Solina found strange items among the raiders’ supplies, objects of unknown origin. The paladins gathered the unsettling relics to destroy them, but such a threat to the keys provoked the Harrowed King. That night the King raised Vornjolnir as a death giant and unleashed an army of the dead on the paladins. Weakened and beset on all sides, Solina unraveled the power of the Dawnfire sword, shattering its blade in a storm of light and engulfing the battlefield in flames. The knights were consumed with the undead host.
Once the sword was an incredibly powerful artifact. Even broken as it is, it still holds such power.

This whistle is carved from transparent crystal, and it resembles a tiny dragon curled up like a snail. The name Night Caller is etched on the whistle in Dwarvish runes. If a character succeeds on a DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana or History) check, the character recalls lore that says the duergar made several such whistles for various groups in an age past.

If you blow the whistle in darkness or under the night sky, it allows you to cast the animate dead spell. The target can be affected through up to 10 feet of soft earth or similar material, and if it is, it takes 1 minute to claw its way to the surface to serve you. Once the whistle has animated an undead creature, it can't do so again until 7 days have passed.

Once every 24 hours, you can blow the whistle to reassert control over one or two creatures you animated with it.
