Black opal This is an enormous Black Opal. It is dark green mottled with black. It is known to be worth 1000gp. Campaign lore: Artak bought
this gem from a gem dealer in the town of Riga during game 2693:4.
Campaign lore: Before his
apparent demise on 2705:3:3, Camanthalar discovered some sort of link between
the life crystals and the Blight crystals. His attempt to sever that link
caused the massive explosion in the elven forests. Building on his research,
Owen, Euvgeni and Damalanthas made a daring raid on the illithid Soul Crystal
in 2705:5. By using his Elemental Crystals,
Owen was able to disable the Soul Crystal and break the controlling link
it had over the Mind and Blight crystals.
Dagaronzie’s gem Although he was not able to identify its nature, Damalanthas noticed that the source of the blinding flashes Dagaronzie used on Euvgeni, Damalanthas, ZzerisS and Prince Fen-Reshk was a gem or an amulet lodged into the scales of the dragon’s neck. Mind Crystals These small gemstones come in many forms. The crystals are mined by the Urgari dwarves, sent to the Tel for 'cutting' and then transported to Simipia for distribution. They are are also known as life crystals. The Blight Crystals and the Soul Crystal are larger versions of the same type of stone. Campaign lore: The Lords of Rotan first encountered these strange gemstones on 2705:2:26, when Annaline approached Tekuna to discuss a deal between the Rotan Merchants’ Alliance and the Simipian Merchants’ Guild to distribute the stones. Since then, several of the Lords friends and companions have been exposed to the crystals, including Belimirar (on 2705:2:27), King Anwell (on 2705:2:28) and Thoylin (who owned several, but managed to give them up). Further research by Tess Sulinavallea
has revealed that these crystals can be used as storage containers for
psionic energy by people with psionic powers. She also believes that prolonged
exposure to the crystals may increase the likelihood of an individual manifestic
psionic abilities.
Campaign lore: As a gift during 2694:5, Euvgeni allowed Flash and Joranth to take some gems from a loaded wagon bearing his country's riches. After the wedding ceremony on 2694:5:25, the other companions presented Euvgeni with wedding gifts. In return, Euvgeni also presented them with large Outreach diamonds. Tekuna and Damalanthas both sold
their diamonds in 2694:5, in Pirs. Flash used his diamond to pay for the
large bill Sonya had amassed during a shopping spree in 2694:6. Joranth
left his diamond to his children, who sold it shortly after his death.
Artak and Souriin still have theirs. Euvgeni
often carries some smaller Outreach diamonds with him to pay for things.
Owen’s Elemental Crystals These colorful stones are in tune with the forces of good, evil, law and chaos and Owen can use them to sense the balance of those forces in his surroundings. In addition, the crystals act as Owen’s divine focus. Owen’s chance to sense the prevailing
balance depends on the scope of the area he attempts to sense. The crystals
are most attuned to an area approximately the size of a large town, they
can be used to sense the balance of much large or smaller areas, but with
a smaller likelihood of success:
Campaign lore: Ralmen, Guardian of the Sacred Grove, gave is first set of crystals to Owen several decades ago. In 2705:5, Owen, Euvgeni and Damalanthas made a heroic raid on the chamber of the illithid Soul Crystal. Owen used his Elemental Crystals to disable the Soul Crystal, but lost them in the process. During an investigation of the vanished Blight at the end of 2705:8, Owen was able to salvage enough fragments of one of the Blight Crystals to fashion a set of replacement Elemental Crystals. |
