D24.305 Shrine of Brass Frogs

-
A 60ft in diameter large shrine made of triangular brass plates. A 10ft wide red carpet bisects the shrine leading to a central 30ft diameter red carpet upon which are 5 red seating cushions.

Surrounding the round red carpet are numerous fist sized sculptures of frogs wrought from polished brass laid in a neat manner.

Should one accidentally kick over or attempt to take one of the frogs, it will croak in a high pitched voice, causing the 700 other frogs placed in the shrine to croak loudly as well.

The sound resonates with flesh, causing creatures with insufficient constitution or resistance to becoming internally bruised and potentially explode from within.

Should one be seated on one of the cushions, one will find the effects of the frogs significantly reduced.

Spending around an hour meditating to the chorus of frogs will improve one's constitution and bestow resistance to sound for up to 3 years, which increases, the longer one spends meditating.

Should one meditate in silence for 24 hours, one with good hearing may hear a whisper of a secret from one of the brass frogs, who will share no more until a full year has passed.

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.

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.

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.
