Unlock: “Fat” Markoth’s Cummerbund. Markoth – “Fat Mar” to those that didn’t truly know him – treasured this reinforced, velvety waistband above all other possessions. He wore it every day in life but was never able to fully grasp its benefits despite being attuned to it: while attuned, the wearer’s strength becomes 21 and, once per day, the wearer has advantage on one saving throw that might otherwise result in a level of exhaustion. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide under the entry ‘Belt of Giant Strength (Hill)’. While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to 21. The item has no effect on you if your Strength without the belt is equal to or greater than 21.

Planes in Pockets in Planes. Tier 4 Story Reward. The Thayan mansion in Mulmaster was comprised of a series of nested demiplanes and pocket dimensions, and you survived the exploration – and brought back lingering traces of that magic. As a result, you always know what plane you are on, and if you find yourself away from your native plane you may excise this magic to return to the Prime Material plane immediately. If you do this, destroy this story award.

Szass Tam’s Arcane Essence. Epic boon, unique. You have wrested away part of Szass Tam’s essence. Specifically, this spark of energy was originally wrested from the vile lich himself, and grants one additional 9th level spell slot, provided that you already have one. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide under the entry for Boon of High Magic.

...and as his story comes to an end, the Cleric Peregrim defeats Szass Tam in the name of Lathander, and retires to the simple life of a Dawnbringer.
And he lived happily in Waterdeep, spreading the light of the morning to all those in the darkness, until the end of his days.

Characters who sacrificed themselves to the fire elemental earn the following story award: Worthy Sacrifice. You willingly sacrificed yourself to achieve your goal and protect your companions. Malana Homwell has learned of your deed and is impressed by your actions.

Rod of Rulership. Rod, rare (requires attunement). You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The rod can’t be used again until the next dawn. This ornate wooden rod is a dark green hue, about two and a half feet in length. The head of the rod is a circular, heavy scepter head, with green banding and rubies interlaid into a gold crown. The base of the rod is a gold-leafed leather pommel with a tassel. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
