D24.255 Swordwright's Alley

-
A dark cobblestone alley 60ft wide, covered completely with numerous greatswords either cast on the ground or nailed at their pommel against the wall with thick copper pins that resemble long swords. The deeper one goes into the alley, the larger the swords become and the keener their edge.

A sound of rapid hammering can be heard at the end of the alley where one can see a giant arcane forge glowing in various colours and the sparks flowing from the Swordwright, an undead dwarf with gigantism who forges only greatswords.

The erratic melody from his hammering makes sentient weapons with less than 3 magical effects tremble with terror, and their effectiveness may be halved until at least 2 days later.

The Swordwright will agree to exchange his exceptionally forged swords which hang on the walls in exchange for precious metals, and arcane gems.

As for the swords cast on the ground, he allows anyone to take them away due to their average quality.

When one delivers an extremely rare metal such as Flowing Brass or Deep Sea Steel, he will offer the service of extracting or imbuing the marrow of greatswords, allowing multiple magical effects to be extracted and transferred to another greatswords.

However the Swordwright is unable to extract the marrow of greatswords with more than 3 magical effects, and can only try with a low rate of success, imbue 3 or more effects.

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.
