L24.242 Twin Braidbun

-

 A hairstyle characteristic of the abbesses of the Darksalt Bark upon the Supple Qeleres, where many monasteries are built. Said to be modelled after the Braided Mind of the Grand Abbess whose body - after her ascension - was split by the tribes who followed her teachings as they sought them as artifacts of holy power. All parts were greedily stolen and fought over - except her mind - which bore the appearance of a walnut with a texture of coalescing braids - which struck fear in all and instilled religious fervor, which culminated in a great fanaticism in the Grand Abess' doctrine in coming generations - eventually dissolving all the tribes and forming a unique polity governed by monastic orders. As a form of reverence, all Abbesses bear the twin braidbun hairstyle - and it is strictly forbidden to wear one's hair as such unless one is recognised as an Abbess.

Skilled riders of nimble Chameleons capable of adhereing the the stalks and leaves of Qelerian plants.  They wield large halberds forged from Bramber, sheperd and reap the herds of Frogstock that make the same plants their pasture. While some prefer a bucolic life of herding Frogstock in groups of three to five, there are a few in who build a much greater kinship with their Chamelons, and are capable of blending into the environment. These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

L24.7 Scintrose

-
 A terrible illness which causes flower-like marks to form on the skin of the infected. These flower-like marks emit colored light which is considered a bad omen by many civilisations save those of the Shrouded Nest whose Saintess was said to have Scintrose across and within her body. As the disease advances, the marks become more detailed, until the point actual Brightflowers actually bloom upon the skin of the infected. At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
