Amulet of Dark Flesh

A horrible cursed item crafted by the Calishite necromancer Niri Eddin, the Amulet of Dark Flesh is a token of disease and slow death.

Niri is believed to still be "alive" somewhere in the realms, despite the fact that he was a human born in 832 DR.

Amulet of Metaspell Influence

Amulet of metaspell influence: 'The Amplifier' Known for its ability to enhance spellcasting, the Amulet of Metaspell Influence is highly sought after by magic practitioners. It was created by Elairdrin Mellwith who resided in the Star Mountains. His reasons for fabricating such an item stemmed from his womanizing habits, and to this extent the Amplifier served his purpose well. It was later taken from him by a mage with a more destructive intent, but records detailing the change of hands vary widely.

Badge of the Brave

It left Teln's possession when the Tempurans decided that he was an unredeemable coward. Teln is believed to have retired from adventuring to become a farmer.

On another occasion, Bron's cowardly companions abandoned him when they were attacked by dire wolves in the wilderness. Two weeks later, Bron swaggered into their camp wearing wolfskins.

Kossuth's Blood  (KOSSUTH)   New in Heart of Winter

The god of fire, Kossuth, rarely takes physical form in the Forgotten Realms. On those rare occasions when he does, however, destruction lies in his wake. He was summoned in 801 DR by a large collection of faithful followers who plead that they needed their god's aid to defeat a colossal octopus threatening a temple on the coast. Kossuth appeared in a gigantic bonfire and did battle with the enormous supernatural beast. The god's avatar triumphed over the octopus, but the monster did manage to damage Kossuth's essence. The divine fire raced through the creature's body and lodged in one of the creature's eyes, quickly transforming it into a bizarre black sphere lit by the flame within.

Mirror of Black Ice Amulet  (MIRROR2)   New in Heart of Winter

Wrapped with serpentine twine around its corners and tapped in place by Tiernon's hands, this mirror of black ice may now be worn around the neck. It still serves the same function as the original black ice mirror, but it feels much lighter now, and the reflections within the mirror seem both sharper and duller at the same time. The power of the Mirror of Black Ice lies in its ability to confound the sight of an attacker. Merely wearing it provides a boon to the wearer's defenses, as attackers will discover the wearer suddenly isn't where they thought he was when they first attacked. By concentrating on the mirror, however, the wearer may alter what others see when they look at him, distorting his image to make him harder to hit, or splitting his image into several reflections of himself, further confusing attackers. The mirror contains only a limited number amount of energy to perform these greater feats, but when the Blur and Mirror Image powers are gone, the passive defenses will remain.

Armor Class Bonus: 3 vs. Missile Attacks
Armor Class Bonus: 2 vs. All Physical Melee Attacks except Crushing Attacks
