Headband of Intellect. Wondrous Item, uncommon. Your Intelligence score is 19 while you wear this headband. It has no effect on you if your Intelligence is already 19 or higher.

Cloak of Displacement. Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement). While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This cloak is made of the pelt of a smooth, blackfurred creature. A bone toggle fastens the cloak around its wearer’s neck. Close examination of the gold-embroidered hem reveals a poem that reads (in Common): “Six men in pain; six men rent. Blood, it falls like rain; broken bodies bent. Six men plead; and six men cry; Tearing arm and leg, six men die.”

Dawnfire (Sun Blade). Weapon (longsword), rare (requires attunement). This item appears to be a longsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a blade of pure radiance to spring into existence, or make the blade disappear. While the blade exists, this magic longsword has the finesse property. If you are proficient with shortswords or longswords, you are proficient with the sun blade. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals radiant damage instead of slashing damage. When you hit an undead with it, that target takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage. The sword's luminous blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. The light is sunlight. While the blade persists, you can use an action to expand or reduce its radius of bright and dim light by 5 feet each, to a maximum of 30 feet each or a minimum of 10 feet each. The ruby in Dawnfire’s pommel sheds dim light for 10 feet when within 60 feet of undead. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Canaith Mandolin. Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a bard). Made of fine, dark wood, this mandolin is inlaid with mithral and mother-of-pearl in the shape of forked lightning bolts. The bearer of this instrument can use an action to cause his or her voice to carry clearly for up to 300 feet until the end of the bearer’s next turn. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Gem of Seeing. Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement). This gem has 3 charges. As an action, you can speak the gem's command word and expend 1 charge. For the next 10 minutes, you have truesight out to 120 feet when you peer through the gem. The gem regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While looking through this unusual cut-gemstone monocle, the wearer can percieve the relative value of an item to its owner (monetary, sentimental, or otherwise).

Soul Coin. Wondrous Item, uncommon. Soul coins are about 5 inches across and about an inch thick, minted from infernal iron. Each coin weighs one-third of a pound, and is inscribed with Infernal writing and a spell that magically binds a single soul to the coin. Because each soul coin has a unique soul trapped within it, each has a story. A creature might have been imprisoned as a result of defaulting on a deal, while another might be the victim of a night hag’s curse.

Dagger of Venom. Weapon (dagger), rare. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. You can use an action to cause thick, black poison to coat the blade. The poison remains for 1 minute or until an attack using this weapon hits a creature. That creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute. The dagger can’t be used this way again until the next dawn. The pommel of this wicked looking dagger looks like a black viper with a forked blade worked to resemble the tongue. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Gratitude of Hartkiller. In spreading the truth about the events that unfolded in Hartsvale, you find yourself blessed by the All-Father and gain temporary use of the Lucky feat, except that any expended luck points don’t return. Once all three points have been spent, remove this story award.

Periapt of Proof Against Poison. Wondrous item, rare. This heavy leather cord contains a brilliant-cut emerald pendant. While you wear it, poisons have no effect on you. You are immune to the poisoned condition and have immunity to poison damage. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Minor Noble. Lord Casplardann has awarded you a Grant of Arms, allowing you to place “Lord” or “Lady” before your name and legally display your heraldic crest on a shield or banner. While in Thentia, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. In addition, you can secure an audience with a Thentian noble if you need to.

Nine Lives Stealer Scimitar. Weapon (scimitar), very rare (requires attunement). You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The sword has 9 charges. If you score a critical hit against a creature that has fewer than 100 hit points, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body (a construct or an undead is immune). The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is also slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property. The hilt of this weapon is covered with carved, ancient Rellanic runes that seem to comprise nonsensical words or, possibly, a list of proper names. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

The Ecology of the Tarrasque. Your research on the tarrasque grants you an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and lore of this creature. This award may have additional repercussions in future QCC modules.

Membership in the Royal Order of Tarrasque Herders. Dryearth has offered you membership in the Order if you swear an oath to come to need of any civilized people threatened upon the return of the true tarrasque. This award may have additional repercussions in future QCC modules.

Run Away and Join the Circus. You spend some time traveling with the circus as a performer until the start of your next adventure. You learn quite a bit about the inner workings of the circus during this time. This award may have additional repercussions in future QCC modules.

Honorary Bullywug. For helping to free their god from the bonds of oppression, a bullywug tribe of Chult owes you a lifedebt. Should you ever find yourself in the presence of this bullywug tribe in Chult during a future QCC adventure, you will be treated as an ally. Should you ever willingly kill a froghemoth while in Chult or in the presence of a bullywug, this story award is lost.

Tome of Understanding. Wondrous item, very rare. This book contains intuition and Insight exercises, 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 Wisdom score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

Manual of Bodily Health. Wondrous item, very rare. This leather-bound tome smells of rich mahogany and contains health, fitness, and diet tips, as well as an impressive collection of varied recipes for every occasion. The name “Montague” has been written on the inside front cover, possibly indicating a previous owner. A description of this item can be found on page 180 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Favor of Boddynock Glitterstone. Having spent time in the company of accomplished bounty hunter Boddynock Glitterstone, you have learned a thing or two about the history and efforts of the four major Elemental Evil cults that have been active in the regions through which you adventure. Boddynock reveals to you the location of a still functioning secret elemental node (air or water, PCs choice) near the Moonsea which you may travel to between adventures (spending 10 downtime days and the associated lifestyle costs). Travelling to a water node will allow a character to recharge a weird tank while traveling to an air node will allow them to recharge a balloon pack, storm boomerang, and/or wingwear (1 per day). In addition, you gain advantage on Intelligence (History) checks relating to any two of the following Elemental Evil cults: the Black Earth, the Crushing Wave, the Eternal Flame, and/or the Howling Hatred.

To Wear the Cloak. If your character is a spellcaster, Zora Culkin has offered to sponsor your admittance into the Brotherhood of the Cloak due to your service to the city of Mulmaster. Though joining the Cloaks is mandatory for any arcanists seeking to stay in Mulmaster for an extended period of time, and sponsorship is not required, Zora Culkin's sponsorship will definitely have its perks.

Learn the Culture. You may spend 5 downtime days (and the associated lifestyle cost) in Mulmaster touring the city and learning the history of the region. You gain advantage on any single ability check relating to Mulmaster, the Brotherhood of the Cloaks, the cults of Elemental Evil, or the Red Wizards of Thay or on any single attack against an elemental or undead creature. Once the advantage benefit has been used, you may return to Mulmaster every time you gain a level and perform this quest again by spending the required downtime and lifestyle expenses.

Mage’s Spellbook. This hardcover tome with a glossy cover has several sections of pages that have separated from the binding. It appears numerous attempts have been made to reattach the cover using glue. Scribbled on the inside back cover are the phrases “Frog cult?” and “Dave says ‘hi’.” It contains the following spells:

1st level: absorb elements, detect magic, earth tremor, mage armor, magic missile, shield

2nd level: earthbind, pyrotechnics, misty step, skywrite, suggestion

3rd level: counterspell, erupting earth, fireball, flame arrows, fly

Shield, +3. Armor (shield), very rare. This shield is decorated with symbols of service and fealty. The shield empathically encourages service to others and whenever the bearer considers performing a selfish act, the shield enhances pangs of conscience. While holding this shield, you have a +3 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC.

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.

Plate Armor of Etherealness. Armor (plate), rare (requires attunement). While you’re wearing this armor, you can speak its command word as an action to gain the effect of the etherealness spell, which lasts for 10 minutes or until you remove the armor or use an action to speak the command word again. This property of the armor can’t be used again until the next dawn. This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This armor has a holy symbol of Shar forged into the breastplate. It also looks dim and reflects light poorly. While you wear it, you can speak and understand Qualith without having to roll any checks or saves to avoid short term madness.
