Bardic Horn of Valhalla

This horn was created by the respected bard of a now-dead Reghed barbarian tribe. The bard was called Beogin, and his songs are sung by many of the northern tribes. He carried this horn with him when he observed many titanic battles. The chief of his tribe gave him the instrument with instructions to blow it if he was ever in mortal danger. Beogin, too proud to ever call on his tribesmen for help, was killed in battle, the horn hidden under his cloak.
Statistics:
Once a day, this horn will summon 2-4 berserkers who will attack the enemies of the user. It is only usable by bards.

Black Knight

This chess piece is a black knight, crafted from ebony. It is one of the many lost pieces from the fabled Chess Sets of Niri Alud. Niri Alud was a conjurer from Tethyr who loved playing chess. He frequently traveled with chess sets on his numerous voyages. He wanted the ability to summon allies at a moment's notice without giving away his intention. For that reason, he created a wide variety of chess sets of different colors that would summon constructed, golem-like automatons to aid him in battle. Almost all of Niri Alud's chess sets were lost when he was attacked by desert raiders in Calimshan. The raiders, ignorant of the ways of magic, let most of the chess sets sink into the desert sands. The chess sets that were taken were soon separated, pieces traveling through trade and theft over hundreds of miles. Treasure hunters search for the pieces still.
Statistics:
Summons a warrior-like ally to attack enemies. Summoner has no control over the Black Knight. The Black Knight will automatically attack the nearest enemy target.

Value: 1200

Blur Deck

The secret procedure for manufacturing these cards was only recently recovered by the sorceress Haelia. Blur Decks are thin ivory cards that are typically kept in a strong metal case. When the owner of the cards wishes to use them, he or she simply needs to shuffle the cards and throw one up in the air. The value of the card (unknown to the user) determines the duration of the effect. These cards used to be employed by the warrior minions of Porg the Stout. Porg's reliance on the cards proved to be his downfall when a group of adventurers, using his cards, killed him in his tower in 833 DR.
Statistics:
Blur effect on the user for 1-12 rounds.

Value: 1260

Bottle of Wine

The label on this wine bottle reads "Marsember Blush - Fine Vintage" and claims to be a fruity blend of spices and dew-flower fragrances. The vinyards of Marsember are well known for their firm grapes which draw their flavor from the fragrant salt air of the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Value: 1

Bowl of Water Elemental Control

This magical bowl holds great power in that it grants the owner a certain degree of control over magical creatures known as water elementals. As is the case with all elemental forces, this control can be turned towards either good or evil, law or chaos. One would therefore be well advised to use discretion when dealing with any such creatures.

Value: 100

The Cittern of War

One of the only musical instruments actively approved of by the church of Tempus, the Cittern of War was constructed by a halfling instrument maker named Relias Blackseed. Priests of Arvoreen the Defender blessed the cittern with its impressive power. Relias never intended to play his magnificent creation. He eventually sold the ruddy instrument to a bard named Gallow Deely. Gallow was a lanky, slender man often found in the company of adventurers. Though ill-suited for battle, Gallow was exceptionally gifted at putting tales of heroism to music. With the aid of the cittern, he helped the Company of Frozen Trees defeat a young green dragon in 1013 DR. His song, commemorating the occasion, was a rollicking tune called "The Fight of Green Thirteen." It is played in central and western taverns to this day.
Statistics:
This cittern casts Emotion: Courage, centered on the user.

This appears to be a dead cat. It is extremely well preserved and looks as if it is sleeping. Hopefully, this animal was already dead before it was put into the bag, as living animals tend not to fare very well within the magical confines of the bag.

The Dire Old Lute of Pellon Kay

Pellon Kay would never appear in history books for his musical talents. If it wasn't for his famous lute, no one would have remembered him at all. Born in Sembia and raised in a musical family, Pellon Kay never took his performances seriously. Kay made dozens of enemies everywhere he went because of his acidic wit and appetite for confrontation. Sages believe that Milil frowned upon Pellon's antics, but that Talos found Pellon's attitude to be quite amusing. The avatar of Talos watched Pellon start a fight with over twenty men in a bar one night. As a gift for such destructive entertainment, Talos touched the lute that was laying next to Pellon's unconscious body. After that night, Pellon discovered that he could make men go berserk just by playing his lute in their direction. He took great delight in setting mercenaries and sailors against each other for several weeks. Eventually, Pellon Kay was laid low by a grim-featured warrior with a crossbow who didn't let Pellon get close enough to employ his magical lute. The unknown warrior threw the lute into the Sea of Fallen Stars.
Statistics:
When played at a target, this lute casts Dire Charm.

Gold Piece

Gold is the standard of currency, commonly called Golden Lions throughout the Realms, though only the Cormyan coins carry the figure of the lion on the coin (Sembian gold coin designs vary from year to year but always retain a five-sided shape). The most common in the southern regions are the Amnite danter, though there are a number of other golder coins from Tethyr and Thay, as well as a number of private mints (including some adventuring parties).

Holy Chaos! Deck

"Holy Chaos!" is a little-known card game played between priests of chaotic gods. Priests of Tymora and Umberlee are particularly fond of it. The game features four suits: Smiling Ladies, Black Bessies, Storm Queens, and Joy Bringers. The "rules" of the game are incredibly complex and are revised every year in an edict by the church of Beshaba. Winners of annual tournaments receive magical versions of the deck, such as this one. The decks are despised by the churches of Tyr and Helm.

Jester's Bag of Holding

A bag of holding is an ordinary bag that has been enchanted so that the interior of the bag opens on a nondimensional space. This nondimensional space is considerably larger than interior of the bag and allows the user to store and retrieve objects without becoming encumbered. Bags such as these are rare and are especially useful for adventurers for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, the magic on this bag is failing and any attempt to put an item into the bag fails. However, violently shaking the bag seems to cause various items to fall out of it.
Statistics:
When used a random object will appear in inventory.
Bag may only be used once per day.
Must have an empty inventory slot to be used.

Lyre of Progression

The Lyre of Progression was created by the bard Sedini Paletto. Sedini was a teacher of young aspiring bards during difficult times. This instrument, held close at all times, helped Sedini fight off those who would attack him or his students. When Sedini grew old, he passed it on to his best student, Galwen Alaman. Galwen continued teaching for a few years before setting out into the wilderness on a life of adventure. It is believed that he lost the lyre when he accidentally dropped it in a marsh.

The Merry Shorthorn

The Merry Shorthorn was once owned by the half-elven bard Prophia Copperfire. She took the small instrument everywhere. Despite its rather meager powers, the Merry Shorthorn is among of the most well traveled magic items in Faerun. It is believed that Prophia took it with her on a number of Elemental Planes, to Elysium and Baator, and from the Spine of the World to the distant reaches of Wa. It entertained pashas in Calimshan, quelled the anger of holy slayers in Zakhara, and bolstered a crew of sailors in the Sea of Fallen Stars. The Merry Shorthorn was lost when Prophia accidentally dropped it somewhere in the great desert Anauroch.
Statistics:
When played, this instrument casts Bless, centered on the player.
Can be used once per day.

Moth Ridden Thistledown

This used to be a very fine quality, grayish material before the moths began to eat through it. Thistledown is a high prized material from which cloaks of elvenkind are fashioned. It is very light and does not snag easily on branches. Due to its high quality, the elves had very little trouble enchanting it.

Value: 5

Owain's Lullabye

Owain's Lullabye was created by a disturbed bard named Owain Piper. Piper was a worshipper of Auril, born in the town of Silverymoon and raised to embrace the frigid environment of his homeland. He traveled extensively in the Moonsea, where he met a mage named Pelham of the Moor. Owain and Pelham became good friends and stayed in contact for over a decade. Pelham eventually enchanted Owain's Lullabye for the bard in exchange for a small sum of money. Owain rarely used the instrument in battle, typically employing it when he found late-migrating geese lounging on a lake. He would blow the horn in such a way that the geese heard it as the sound of their cousins heading south for the winter. As the geese would attempt to take flight, Owain's horn would freeze them in mid-stroke, where he would leave them to die.
Statistics:
When played, this instrument casts Cone of Cold for 10d4+10 points of damage.

Telescope

While the physics behind a telescope have been well-known for some time, the glass-grinding skills required to actually construct one are still quite specialized. The lenses of this telescope are finely made, however, and its collapsible tubing has obviously been wrought by someone well-versed in the delicate art of jewel-setting and metalwork.

Value: 0

Terikan's Phylactery

Viol of the Hollow Men

This instrument is also known as "Tallow's Violin," but that moniker is rarely spoken among musicians, as mentioning the name of Nikolai Tallow is considered bad luck. Nikolai was born in The Vast, near High Haspur, the son of a chandler. Because of the intermittent traffic through the region, Nikolai was introduced to many different cultures. One of the travelers he met was an elven musician named Relev Thinriver. Relev introduced Nikolai to the violin and taught him for several years as he wandered through the area. Relev knew that Nikolai was an incredibly gifted child, with quick fingers, a keen mind, and a passion for all things in the world. Relev also recognized that Nikolai was exceedingly proud and arrogant. In spite of Nikolai's shortcomings, Relev taught him everything he knew. After Relev was killed by a band of orcs, Nikolai began to practice on his own throughout the Vast. Despite his travels, he always returned to the isolate peaks of his mountain birthplace. He became famed throughout the Vast, the southern Moonsea and Sembia for his incredible talent and passionate performances. Eventually, news of the proud young virtuoso spread to the ears of a nearby thug from Calaunt named Tremble Ghon. When Tremble and his gang traveled through the Elvenblood Pass, they stopped at the Elf in Armor Inn and demanded a performance from Nikolai, who happened to be present and eating dinner with his father at the time. Nikolai refused to perform for Tremble and his men. He called them stinking oafs and attempted to leave with dignity. Tremble assaulted Nikolai's pride by claiming that Nikolai was afraid of performing because he'd be heckled out of the inn for his incompetence. Nikolai shot back that his skill with the violin was so great that he could raise the dead from their graves. Satisfied with a proposed challenge, Tremble immediately grabbed Nikolai's father and stabbed him in the heart. When a number of other villagers attempted to intervene, they were also killed by the bandits. Tremble defiantly stood over Nikolai's dead father and said, "Where's your big mouth now, fiddle player?" Without a word, Nikolai pulled his violin and bow out from underneath his arms and began to play a melody that none of the residents of High Haspur had ever heard before, and no one in Faerun would ever hear again. Nikolai played with unbridled passion and fervor. Onlookers later remarked that he appeared to be a madman, thrashing about in ways that people didn't think were possible. At the climax of his frenzied piece, Tremble and his gang watched in horror as the souls of the men and women they had just killed rose from their corpses and dove, shrieking, at their murderers. The bandits died horrible deaths, chilled by the shadows of their victims. Nikolai himself continued playing, dancing through the streets and back pastures of his alpine home until every man, woman, child, and beast ever buried in the region rose from its resting place and milled about until Nikolai and his music disappeared into a far off valley, shrouded in a mysterious fog that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Legends say that on misty nights, the ghost of Nikolai Tallow returns to his homeland, playing a phantom violin with a host of dancing dead trailing behind him in the moonlight.
