Weapon of Warning (Trident). Weapon (trident), uncommon (requires attunement). This white trident is fashioned from whale bones, laced together with dried tendons.

Candle of the Deep. Wondrous item, common. The flame of this candle is not extinguished when immersed in water. It gives off light and heat like a normal candle. This item is found on the Minor Items, Common table in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything. This 3-inch long candle is made using green, red, blue, and yellow ribbons of wax.

Armor of Insults (Mithral Splint Armor). Armor (Heavy) Uncommon. A Description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide with the following changes; This set of splint armor was crafted with only the finest materials by dwarves for elves. However, despite the craftsmanship being near-flawless, the dwarves who forged the armor purposely made one design flaw as a prank: When struck, the armor emits the voice of the dwarves who forged the armor, berating its wearer.

Staff of the Woodlands.

Mmm… Tastes Like Sanity. You are given one small, untreated braincap mushroom. When consumed or administered to someone else as an action, the mushroom acts as a greater restoration, but only as it pertains to reducing the recipient's madness level to 0. The braincap mushrooms are potent, however, and if you consume more than one per adventure, you immediately gain 1d4 levels of madness (no saving throw). Cross this story reward off of your adventure log when used.

In League with the Seer. You have made a deal with the Sacred Seer--a myconid in the service of Zuggtmoy--to aid in the battle against the giants of Maerimydra. Hopefully, you will not regret this rather foolish choice.

Half-Plate of Poison Resistance. Armor (half plate), rare (requires attunement). This non-metal half-plate is constructed of petrified giant mushrooms. The wearer feels fortunate and optimistic about what the future holds. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

+1 Splint Armor. Armor, rare. This fine suit of armor has dwarven runes etched upon it. The runes describe the glories of great battles in the North against orcs. The armor glows faintly when within 100 feet of orcs. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide

I like it. I'll accept it. And I'll cast my vote for it

Acererak’s Hoard. Under the treasure subheading on page 227 of TYP, replace “(except that none can be of legendary rarity)” with: “(except all items must be located on magic item tables F, G, or H, and uncommon, rare, or very rare, and may include up to one manual or tome—it seems that the demilich’s library has long ago rotted away)”.

Planar Studies. With the alhoon's unique plane available for study, those interested in its creation can spend time studying it and learn its secrets. By spending 50 downtime days, a character can do one of the following to a demiplane they have created. Each effect can be given used multiple times, costing 50 downtime days per use. Each individual demiplane that you control can receive each of the following effects once.

• Hide one created demiplane, making other spellcasters unable to enter the chosen demiplane without explicit permission. This can take the form of a key, object, pass-phrase, or other way to authenticate.

• Connect one demiplane with another chosen demiplane that they control. This allows easy access to the connected demiplanes without the need to cast demiplane multiple times.

A Merciful Soul. After seeing and hearing the plight of the alhoon Berach, you have decided that sparing its life so that it may spend its last year hunting for peace was the correct decision. Whether this will be the correct decision in the future has yet to be determined…

Periapt of Mind Trapping.

Dream Whirl (+3 Lance). This alabaster lance, named "Dream Whirl" by those who created it, is carved with deep swirling patterns that seem to move with you, calming your emotions and silencing surface thoughts.

Also, the original owner's dreams and anger still dwell within the lance. When within 120 feet of an illithid (mind flayer), its kin, or any of its creations, righteous fury radiates from the lance as it darkens into deep blood crimson.

Otherwise it functions as a +3 lance. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
