Rod of Security. Rod, very rare. This wrought iron rod is covered in tiny padlocks and always cold to the touch. The rod will transport you and up to six willing companions to a comfortable cabin with no exit save for the rod. The windows display a dark and foreboding forest, and a tallspired castle can be seen through the gloom. After 24 hours, you and your allies return to the exact location you left though you may choose to leave earlier. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Adamantine Plate. Armor (any metal), uncommon. Appearing almost decorative, this suit of highly polished adamantine armor hails from ancient Netheril and is adorned in minute runes of protection. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Ally of Thay. You are known to be an ally of the Thayan Plateau, whether you want to or not. You have advantage on Charisma-based checks with Red Wizards and other non-slaves from Thay, and at the DM’s discretion may have disadvantage when dealing with Harpers and other enemies of Thay.

Ioun Stone of Mastery: Pipyap has left behind a pale green icosahedron that appears to be a 20-sided die. This stone is eternally warm and slightly damp, no matter what environment it’s in. Your proficiency bonus increases by 1 while this pale green stone orbits your head.

Spellguard Shield

Stone Plate +2. Armor (heavy), very rare. This suit of plate armor was created by Cultists of the Black Earth and fashioned from slabs of stone (instead of metal). The armor resizes to fit its wearer.

Tome of Leadership and Influence. Wondrous item, very rare. The red leather that covers this tome is embossed with a smiling man with a third eye. This book contains guidelines for influencing and charming others, 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 Charisma score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (pg. 208).

Nature of the Weave. You have uncovered a series of tomes written by the archmage, Manshoon. By spending 50 downtime days, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill. If you are already proficient in Arcana, you double your proficiency when making checks with the skill.
