This star ted as a labor of love for catching up on the ear liest year s of my gam ing hobby, and it
just exploded into the m assive effor t you ar e now r eading. I had no idea it w as going to get
this big, but things just kept com ing up and I had to put them in to be inclusive. I didn't get it
r ight on the fir st tr y, this is at least the 40th ver sion. I even had to change the pr ogr am I w as
using because it r apidly outstr ipped the w or d pr ocessor I had been using. It w asn't cheap, I
w as told ear ly to use all or iginal ar t and to keep it fr ee to dow nload. W hile I handled the
w r iting fr ee of char ge, the ar t had to be contr acted out, thankfully sever al of you helped
alleviate the cost. I tur ned this over to Reddit for playtesting, and after that fiasco to 5th
Edition D&D facebook page along w ith the var ious M ystar a Fan Pages. Together w e
ham m er ed out all the ar chetypes, feats and m iscellaneous r ules. I hope you enjoy it and
m aybe M ystar a one day w ill m ake an official com e back .

Bl ack Bal l or Deadly Spher e is quite possibly the deadliest cr eatur e in the m ultiver se. A

touches. Seem ingly ber eft of intelligence the cr eatur e m oves r andom ly disintegr ating
ever ything in its path. It's or igins and m otives ar e a com plete myster y.
The Br ai n Col l ect or , or Neh-thalggu in their ow n tongue, is an abom ination fr om the
Dem iplane of Nightm ar es. An am or phous body w ith four yellow or bs for eyes, six cr ab legs
and a r ow of shar p teeth, the Br ain Collector is beyond com pr ehension It exists to kill sentient
cr eatur es and take their br ains. The cr eatur e does not seem to even view its victim s as alive.
The Decapu s is an ar bor eal cr eatur e know n its its ten lim bs. Not m uch m or e than a tor so and
tentacles ending in shar p hooks, the Decapus lies in am bush above their pr ey. The cr eatur e
also m akes itself at hom e in abandoned buildings, hanging fr om the r after s. An aquatic
ver sion exists, floating w ith the tide and m enacing all it com es acr oss.

Dr ol em s ar e a cr oss betw een a dr agon and a flesh golem . Cr eated by only the m ost pow er ful
w izar ds, Dr olem s ar e the height of golem cr afting. Extr em ely pow er ful, Dr olem s ar e im m une
to m ost m agic and m agic item s. Their one w eakness is their lack of intellegence. Living
dr agons hate them w ith a bur ning passion, attacking the Dr olem w ithout pause.
Hi vebr ood r epr esent one of the gr eatest thr eats in the Know n Wor ld. An insectoid r ace of
par asites, they infect captur ed sentient beings and tr ansfor m them into Hivebr ood. If left
unchecked Hivebr ood w ill com petely str ip an r egion of all its population and m ove on to the

M u j i n a ar e extr em ely str ong cr eatur es know n for their ability to change their face to m atch

There is no glory to be had alone cub, true glory
comes from the pack. Together we hunt, together
we prosper. All lupin know their roles, from the
our swiftest scouts to our strongest warriors to
our wiliest trackers. You cannot fault another for
being bigger, nor can he fault you for being small
of frame. Remember you can rely on his strength
to aid you as much as he must rely on your speed
to aid him. Differences are only weaknesses if
you do not work towards the same goal.
Together we are stronger than alone. That is the
way of the lupin.
-Horr the Scarred, lupin elder
Lupin
A fier ce and nom adic people, the noble lupin
tr avel the w ilder ness in fam ily packs follow ing
the her ds they hunt. A fr iendly people, lupin
get along w ith hum ans and dem ihum ans,
though the canine r ace pr efer open spaces to
cr ow ded cities. Lupin ar e the natur al foe of
w er ew olves, hunting them w ithout m er cy w hen
found.
St ou t an d Ru gged
Lupin ar e cover ed head to toe in fur , though the
fur can be shor t to the point of bar ely cover ing
the skin, to thick and shaggy for the nor ther n
tr ibes. The heavier coated lupin for obvious
r easons avoid heavy ar m or. They tend to tr avel
light, and don't car r y a lot of possessions.
Excess equipm ent is given to the pack to be used
as needed.
Lupin value loyalty m or e than other r aces.
They ar e pack cr eatur es, to them the fam ily is
all im por tant. A lone lupin that is an outcast or
a sole sur vivor of his pack can go m ad fr om
loneliness. Lupin such as these tend to becom e
adventur er s to for m a new pack, and ar e
fier cely loyal to their new found fam ily.
Loyal t o a Fau l t
Lupin packs ar e w ell know n and w elcom ed in
m ost nations of the Know n Wor ld. They live off
of the land, tr ading for w hat they need w ith the
fur s and food they gather in their tr avels. W hile
they ar e not allied w ith any nation, lupin w ill
not think tw ice about pr otecting innocents
under attack . The lupin packs ar e not
associated w ith each other , but w hen they m eet
it is a tim e of celebr ation. M any betr othals ar e
cr eated this w ay to keep the pack's blood fr esh.
45
Lupin can be appr oached by var ious
com m unities for tr ade, assistance or to hir e out
as m er cenar ies as needed. Often if a tow n is
beset by w er ew olves lupin w ill descend to r oot
out their hated enemy. W hile they ar e w elcom e
in m ost par ts, lupin ar e nom ads and seldom
stay for long. W hen they com e to any ar ea w ith
am ple gam e, they w ill set up a tem por ar y
village to allow them to hunt for longer per iods
of tim e.
Lon e Wol ves
Lupin often becom e adventur er s w hen they
have left a pack for w hat ever r eason. Som e
cubs gr ow enam or ed of the w or ld and w ish to

offer. Other s ar e exiled for som e unspoken
cr im e, and other s ar e the only sur vivor s of som e

-Aurora Stargrove, sidhe Bard
Sidhe
In ages past tw o gr oups of im m or tals existed.
One becam e the Im m or tals vener ated by the
cler ics. The other becam e the fey, w ith their
ow n m agics ow ing no allegiance to the other
Im m or tals. Sidhe ar e the m ost hum an of the fey
cr eatur es, a separ ate r ace of Im m or tals of
M ystar a. The sidhe ar e highly m agical
cr eatur es that ar e know n for their cur iosity of
m or tal r aces.
Et h er eal an d Ti m el ess
The appear ance of the sidhe is as var ied as the
hum ans. Sidhe appear to be a hybr id of m an
and elf, though they ar e r elated to neither r ace.
They can usually pass as hum an easily. Sidhe
r ange fr om 5'8 to w ell over 6' on aver age,
though they tend to be of light build, w eighing
less than a hum an of sim ilar size. Hair color for
the sidhe can r ange fr om nor m al hum an color s
to unusual like dar k gr een or br ight pink . Their
eyes ar e the sam e w ay and can be any color and
need not even m atch. Sidhe ar e effectively
im m or tal, they do not age and if slain instead
r eincar nate back in the Good Kingdom .
Sidhe skin color tends to be the sam e shade of
hum ans, though they can go to extr em es, w ith
skin w hite as snow or black as onyx. Facial hair
is r ar e on sidhe m en, but not unhear d of. Both
sexes tend to ador n them selves w ith jew elr y, the
m or e extr avagant the better. Their clothing
r anges fr om sim ple fur s to gow ns finer than
w hat em per or s could even dr eam of.
Sidhe tr easur e things of beauty m or e than
physical value. A w ell m ade etched glass w ould
be w or th m or e to them than a chest of gold
bullion. They ar e cr eatur es of passion and
em otion, and love ar t of all types, fr om dw ar ven
histor y r ecitals to r ustic hin dances. They abhor
ugliness, str ive for per fection in anything they
m ake.
St r an ger i n a St r an ge Lan d
Despite their hum an appear ance, sidhe ar e
for eign to the Know n Wor ld. For them
ever ything is extr em ely unusual. The lack of
m agic, the static natur e ar ound them and the
shor t lived cr eatur es they encounter intr igue
them . Sidhe ar e dr iven to exper ience all they
can in the nor m al w or ld. They ar e not attr acted
by gold or pow er , but by new exper iences. A
sidhe w ill agr ee to go on an adventur e that pays
nothing if it sounds exciting to her.
49
To outsider s the sidhe seem over ly gener ous but
foolish. M or tals don't under stand the inhum an
m otivations of the sidhe. They ar e im m or tal,
they have no need for r iches or pow er. W hen
they r etur n to the Good Kingdom their stor ies
ar e their cur r ency. To the fey m em or ies ar e
coin and excitem ent it's ow n r ew ar d.
El dr i t ch Or i gi n s
All sidhe com e fr om another r ealm they call the
Good Kingdom . The m ost w ell know n por tal is
in Alfheim , but other s exist. The Good Kingdom
is a place w ithout tim e or death, w her e
ever ything seem s to change but nothing tr uly
does. Ober on has been king for longer than
m an has w alked the face of the planet. The
sidhe have w atched m ountains r ise and fall, and
it is no sur pr ise that m any of them get bor ed
w ith their im m or tal existence.
Sidhe have existed since befor e the Im m or tals,
and as such need nothing fr om them Their
pow er com es fr om another r ealm , Im m or tal
m agics offer them nothing. Sidhe often blend in
w ith hum an societies, their neighbor s none the
w iser. Sidhe even get m ar r ied to tr y and lear n
about love, but they ar e doom ed to w atch their
spouse w ither and die fr om age.
Ex pl or i n g t h e n ew w or l d
Sidhe w hen enter ing the new w or ld tend to seek
out the lar gest population center they can find.
M any becom e adventur er s because of the
excitem ent it br ings. Their lack of desir e for
w ealth cause m any to think them naive, but few
under stand the myster ious cr eatur es w ell. Once
the sidhe has cir cled the globe a few tim es, they

This is the life I tell you. No worries, no fretting.
Just fishing all day and lounging around in the
sun. This is how a tortle is meant to live, leave all
the running around and worrying to the other
races. Here we live in peace and harmony with
all other things. Just fishing and sunning. That's
the life. Of course if you feel obliged to take up
arms and go live a short brutal life before some
orc pries open your shell and eats you, that's up
to you. I won't stop you, who knows maybe the
change of scenery might do you some good. They
are looking up at that keep for somebody to clean
out some caves of goblins. You grab a club and
go head over there and sign up. M aybe you
should do that, because if I catch you with my

Tor t l e
Tor tles ar e a stoic and placid r ace, content to

alone. W hile they have few enem ies, Tor tles do
not go out of their w ay to m ake fr iends either.

Tor tles have little in the w ay in var iety, they

Each tor tle shell is a unique patter n on the back,

w eighing in at alm ost 700lbs or m or e.
Tor tles ar e r eptilian in natur e, w ith r ough scales

Bou n d by Tr adi t i on
Tor tles above all else value their peace and
quiet. M ost Tor tles live alone, fishing and
keeping their huts tidy. They ar e not know n for

com m unally, com ing together as a gr oup in

load up on w agons and head to w ar m er clim es.
W hile tor tles ar e know n as kind and car ing

Tor tles ar e found exclusively on the shor es of
the m ainland and the islands in the Sea of

How ever w ith the spr ead of civilization the
lifestyles of the bar bar ians ar e being
challenged. As nations like Vestland and
Ylar uam look to m oder nize their lands, the
law less tr ibes and savage w ar r ior s ar e being
pushed fur ther and fur ther aw ay.
Bar ds
Dwarves are notoriously tough crowds. They
don't dance, care little for displays of magic and
their songs are tend to be monotone and tuneless.
Fortunately Tim the Bard came prepared, a smart
bard knows his audience, and this audience was
about to be thrilled by a recital of the last fifteen
generations of the Smithing Guildmaster's family
tree.
Ther e is not a nation in the Know n Wor ld w her e
bar ds ar e not w elcom ed w ith open ar m s. Even
the m agic hating Ylar uam and Rockhom e

an actual college to teaching both the Colleges of

Halvoric set the butt of his halberd firmly in
54
place as the wolf rider smashed into the pole
arm. He quickly pulled the weapon free of
both the ground and dead goblin, and swung
the blade right into the chest of another
approaching goblin. As the mercenary glanced
around the battle field, he couldn't help but
smile for two reasons. His side was winning
handedly, and that he was getting paid so well
for this.

Algo Rengate's eyes narrowed as he

Sor cer er s
Subatai had many questions for the Glantri
mage. That the necromancer had made it so
far into Ethengar without notice was
disturbing. The Wokani wanted to know who
helped the wizard, how many graves he had
defiled, and was he alone. Subatai also was
curious if the wizard was embarrassed by the
fact he was bested by an untrained sorcerer,
but that was something Subatai would never
know, as smoking holes in the ground don't
talk back.
M ystar a sor cer y is not like that of other

Fire is the ultimate element. It scorches earth,

Im m or tals of M ystar a
M ystar a does not have actual gods like other

Im m or tals w er e once gr eat adventur er s that
have epic quests and petitioning to past
Im m or tals tr anscended their m or tal for m to
take their place for ever in the Outer Planes.
Each Im m or tal ser ves one of the five Spher es of
Pow er , each Spher e r epr esents one of the
distinct com ponents of the M ultiver se. Cler ics
of M ystar a can vener ate a specific Im m or tal,
and entir e pantheon or just a Spher e of Pow er.
The Im m or tals hold each other in balance, none
m ay actively inter fer e w ith the w or ld w ithout
r ebuke fr om other s. Instead the Im m or tals
secr etly take m or tal guise to w alk the w or ld
unnoticed. W hile their pow er is gr eatly

cr eatur es of im m ense pow er in their guise.
The pr im ar y r ole of the Im m or tals is to keep
balance am ong the Spher es. Each Spher e m ust
be kept in har m ony w ith the other s for the
M ultiver se to continue. An im balance betw een
the Spher es can have catastr ophic r esults. The
Spher e of Entr opy stands apar t fr om the other s,
tr ying to cause the end of the M ultiver se so they
can r ecr eate the next w or ld in their im age.
The other pur pose for Im m or tals is to sponsor
m or tals that w ish to join them . It is not a easy
task, for m or e per ish than ever succeed. One
cannot becom e an Im m or tal w ithout the help of
a sponsor , and ther e is no guar antee a m or tal
w ill ever gain a sponsor. Once a m or tal has
obtained a sponsor they m ust par take of a task
to pr ove the m or tal is indeed w or thy.
The path of the Dynast is one of tim e. The her o
m ust pr ove them selves w or thy by building a
dynasty w or thy of an Im m or tal. This task
r equir es the her o to establish a long lasting r ule
by the her o and descendants. The her o m ust

The other challenge of the Dynast is they m ust

the r ealm built by the her o. The her o m ust
quest for an ar tifact to accom plish this, then
they ar e w or thy of im m or tality.
The Epic Her o m ust under go a ser ies of quests,

Then to destr oy an ar tifact of Entr opy. Then the
Epic Her o m ust cr eate a gr eat w eapon, tr ain a

The Par agon is a test of cr eation and conquest.
The her o m ust find an ar tifact of Thought, then

Once those ar e finished the Par agon m ust tr ain

The Polym ath dem ands its candidate par take a

Alphaks is an intelligent and cultur ed

pr one to m aniacal fits of r age. He consider s
him self a disciple of Thanatos, but he lacks
his patr on's patience and cor r uptive

using br ute for ce, violence and thr eat. W hen
he becom es extr em ely fur ious, he expr esses

does not hesitate to use str ength to defend her
follow er s and the Alphatian Em pir e. She is in
favour of a defensive w ar but counter s any
kind of im per ialism or w ar for conquest,
since she is convinced that an expansionistic

their tr ue goal: the study of m agic and ar t in
all their for m s.
She's a staunch ally of Razud, Kor yis, and

She is fascinated by the cycle of life and

She does not believe that death shall pr evail
in the end, as Thanatos hopes, but r ather she
believes in the cosm ic or der w hich gives Law
and Chaos their place and tim e in the cycle of
things. She know s that Law 's pr edom inance

it's just a m atter of tim e befor e she achieves

she'll be the sole Queen of the univer se. For
this r eason it is of par am ount im por tance
that she r eincar nates evil beings into

Hel is par ticular ly obsessed w ith shadow s

she does not intend to play along w ith the

Ochalea
Kor yis is a pur e Alphatian of gaunt physique,
w ith a pallid com plexion and hollow cheeks,
w ear ing a sim ple tunic and an air of
deter m ination and suffer ing.
Kor yis is the typical pacifist, faithful to the
or der that r ejects any cutting instr um ent and
to a cr eed that says that it is possible to
r esolve all pr oblem s and disagr eem ent w ith
dialogue. For this he is not gr eatly follow ed

not closely w atched even by the m or e

allies ar e Alphatia, Guidar ezzo, the Shaper ,

LOKI
Bozdogan, Farbautides, Lokar, Veles, Patron of
Hule, Prince of Lies and Deceit
Loki typically appear s as a pale skinned
Antalian w ith r ed hair , haw k?s nose and a
m aliciously clever gaze, w ear ing sim ple
Antalian gar m ents of anim al pelts.
Loki is a m aster of deceit and tr eacher y. His
goal is to set his enem ies?against each other
to pr ovoke destr uction and suffer ing, and he
often succeeds in his attem pt thanks to his
gr eat m anipulation skills.
He especially likes to pr etend to be r eady for
r edem ption, lur ing good-w illed im m or tals to
befr iend him and fight for his cause, and then
he betr ays their tr ust in the m ost cr itical
m om ents. Loki does not actively seek new
follow er s as m any other Im m or tals do, since
he is par ticular ly insensitive to the pr ayer s of
his w or shipper s, as he believes that all people
w ill follow his w ay eventually. In fact, he
believes that all m or tals have a natur al
tendency tow ar ds evil and selfishness, and
the m ost evident pr oof of this is that the
w or ld is so r ipe w ith tr eacher y and deceit
that causes the m or tals?constant dow nfall. So
he sim ply teaches his follow er s to incr ease
entr opy in the w or ld and act for their ow n
99
gain at the sam e tim e, and this can only be
done by becom ing m aster m anipulator s in
or der to avoid being deceived fir st.
Loki is constantly w eaving his plots and
deceits against Im m or tals and m or tals alike,
par ticular ly as patr on of Hule. Over the
centur ies, he has becom e an enemy of Odin
(because of his alliance w ith Hel), Thor (w ho
he opposed dur ing his m or tal life and r ise to
im m or tality), Fr ey and Fr eyja (w hose
goodness and loyalty he finds nauseous),
Eir yndul and Kor otiku (w ho despise him for
using cunning and deceit for destr uctive
pur poses). He also likes to tor m ent and
r idicule Stodos, Lor d of Ice and another ally
of Hel, but she does not consider this r ivalr y a
tr ue enm ity and leaves them to bicker like
sm all childr en.

He is a ser ious and str ong-w illed Im m or tal

a pr efer ence for bold and light-spir ited
adventur er s. He is utter ly loyal to Ilsundal?s
cause and occasionally cooper ates w ith
Zir chev, as both shar e a love for the w oods
and w oodland cr eatur es. He hates Atzanteotl,
the nem esis of all sur face elves, and fights all
Ilsundal?s enem ies.

She is often in open disagr eem ent w ith Vanya

RAD
Etienne d?Ambreville, Patron of Glantri, Patron
of M agic, Lord of Radiance
Rad appear s to be an elder ly m an w ith a long
w hite bear d, a gr uff outlook, but w ith keen
and pier cing eyes, w ear ing a long r obe

Etienne, he pr etends to be absent-m inded and

enjoys teasing all those people he consider s
too pr oud or stiff-necked by using his typical
Aver oignese ir ony. In par ticular , he ir r itates
Ixion ever y tim e he can, since he has never
acknow ledged his leader ship in his Spher e.
This ir r ever ence for the im m or tal hier ar chy
obviously br ings him the sym pathy as w ell as
the hatr ed of m any fellow im m or tals. Rad?s
ir r ever ent char acter is often the point of
m any debates w ithin the Spher e of Ener gy,
w her e m any hot-headed im m or tals w ho w ant
to shake the hier ar chy and over thr ow the

Despite his stubbor nness and his boldness,
Rad is too kind-hear ted to take his enem ies
ser iously.
RAFI EL
Patron of the Shadowelves, Patron of Science
Rafiel is a m iddle-aged hum an w ith m eek
outlook but a pier cing and cunning gaze. He
w ear s a w hite tunic (a scientist?s apr on) and a
pair of spectacles.
Rafiel is a calm , w ise, and good w illed
Im m or tal. It w as because of his extr em e
hum anity and sense of duty that he helped
the Shadow elves sur vive their affliction and
that he becam e so attached to them . The 14
Ver ses he gave them as his com m itm ents m ay
seem har sh at tim es, but they have helped
pr otect the Shadow elves and allow ed them to
thr ive over the centur ies. His follow er s have
how ever alw ays consider ed him ster n and
sever e because of these r eligious tr aditions
(such as the habit of abandoning the
m alfor m ed babies in the upper tunnels and
chase off the elder ly elves), but this is only
because they do not know the r easons behind
these law s. In fact, Rafiel guides var ious
hum anoids to find and r aise the m alfor m ed
Shadow elves as their babies, to pur ify the
Shadow elf r ace of r adiation and infiltr ate his
follow er s am ong the hum anoids.
His m ain inter est is the differ ent kinds of
ener gies found thr oughout the M ultiver se, in
par ticular the Radiance, and he has alw ays
secr etly studied that sam e ener gy w hich
m ade him im m or tal. His m ost am bitious
pr oject is the constr uction of a nuclear
r eactor know n as the Cham ber of the Spher es
(sim ilar to the Beagle?s Nucleus) under the
Refuge of Stone, w ith the only pur pose of
assur ing that all the pr inciples and scientific
law s that he based his m or tal life on ar e still
viable (a clear sign of an
obsessive-com pulsive per sonality). For this
103
sam e r eason, he is ver y inter ested in Rad?s
r esear ches, and even if they ar e not allies,
they often collabor ate to fur ther their
exper im ents.
Rafiel is a pacifist but he has alw ays used
ever y m eans to fight against Atzanteotl?s
influence over his people. Atzanteotl is his
only tr ue nem esis, and he?s held r esponsible
for cor r upting m any Shadow elves (am ong
w hich ar e the Schattenalfen) to the cause of
Entr opy.
RATHANOS
Ra, Patron of Nithia, Lord of Fire
Rathanos appear s to be a 7 foot tall hum anoid
m ade of blazing fir e, w ithout any distinctive
featur es.
Rathanos is obsessed w ith pow er and his
m isogynist view of the univer se, w hich leads
him system atically to oppose ever y fem ale
im m or tal just for being fem ale (the sam e
attitude is also pr esent in m any of his cler ics).
Rathanos?s only inter est is the com plete
tr ansm utation of all m atter into ener gy,
par ticular ly fir e.
He is constantly sear ching for a spell that w ill
allow his follow er s to tr ansfor m into beings
of pur e ener gy, m aking them indestr uctible
and im m or tal. How ever , up to now his
r esear ch has not pr oduced the ultim ate spell,
and ther efor e he continues to push his
follow er s along this path, pr om ising them
that this is the only w ay they w ill achieve tr ue
im m or tality. If his plan ever happens, he w ill
cr eate a nation of beings that w ill be bor n as
m or tals and lear n as fast as only m or tals can
do, but w ho w ill later becom e eter nal beings
ser ving the cause of Ener gy.
Because of his char acter and goal, he is in

TAHKATI STORM -TAM ER

A copper -skinned hum an m uch sm aller than

Since Atr uaghin becam e im m or tal, the tw o

and Tahkati is faithful to Atr uaghin. Because
of his fier ce, haughty, and deter m ined
char acter (w hich fr equently causes him to

difficult situations) he doesn?t appr ove of
Atr uaghin?s calm and tem per ance, and

Tar astia is obsessed by the concept of Justice.
She helps those w ho pur sue a just vendetta,
but only if it concer ns an im por tant and
104
ser ious deed. She does not ur ge her faithful to
give out punishm ents that ar e sever er than
the cr im e, but she show s no m er cy w hen
dealing w ith people w ho have deliber ately

the only pillar s that keep any society fr om
falling into anar chy. Tar astia does not
appr ove of the m ethods of Kor yis and
Alphatia, w hich ar e too peaceful and
per m issive in her view , even if she does not
consider them enem ies. Her r eal enem ies ar e

THANATOS
Tha-to, Karr, The Grim Reaper, Old Nick,

A hum anoid w r apped in dar k stained
bandages that hide his featur es, w ear ing a

Thanatos hates ever y kind of living for m , and

105
He uses any and ever y w ay to attain his goals

w hich m akes him the m ost active Entr opic
Im m or tal in the univer se. It doesn?t m atter
how im por tant his goal is (w hether it affects

alw ays focuses all his effor ts to succeed w ith
m er ciless devotion, savour ing all of the
individual m om ents of gr ief he causes to the
living tow ar ds the final ends. He often loves
to kill m or tals and assum e their identities to

Thanatos has no stable allies, but he never

w ould ever dar e to r efuse

Patron of Warriors, Lord of Battle and Honour
A pow er fully built Antalian w ith fier y r ed
hair and bear d, w ear ing a chain m ail w ith a
typical Nor se hor ned helm and a huge

Thor is the em bodim ent of the per fect
w ar r ior , and he dem ands his follow er s to stay
tr ue to his code of conduct based on honour ,
cour age, and r espect for tr adition. Fear less
and ever r eady for battle, Thor has an
easygoing char acter m ost of the tim e, even if
he?s pr one to fits of r age w hen offended or
teased, som ething Loki loves to do w henever
they m eet.
Thor consider s all Aesir as his allies except
for Loki (w ho doesn?t m iss a chance to

leaguew ith Hym ir , the only giant im m or tal he
gets along w ith (thanks to Hym ir ?s ability

w ith a fier y passion because
he?s patr on of all those evil
giants w ho fr equently

constantly w atches Hel?s m oves
because of her alliance w ith
Loki. He also opposes Kir anjo,

VALERI AS

Ixion.
Valer ias is a ver y passionate Im m or tal and as

These r ushes of blood ar e how ever tr ansitor y,

despises cow ar dice and doesn?t hesitate to

For Vanya, w ar is an ar t that m ust be

 Captain Quinn's Nautical Empor ium
The pr ide of the Minr othad Islands is pr oud to of f er these f ine magical items
acquir ed af ter a lif etime of adventur e on the high seas. Each of these f ine
magic items w ill make any ship's captain's lif e so much easier , you'll w onder
how you got along w ithout them. Pr ices ar en't listed, because if you have to
ask, you can't af f or d it. Check us out in Harbortow n, the Old Tow n side.
Am u l et of Ti m ek eepi n g. For those you who know anything about navigation,
the only real way to know where you are going east to west is by keeping
accurate time. This beauty does exactly that. Use the command word and it
will keep accurate time no matter what.
W hile activated you know the exact tim e, and gain advantage on all skill
checks using navigator 's tools m ade on the open ocean for navigating.
(Uncom m on)
Bal an ce of Con ver si on . This beauty is a must for people trading in areas that
don't accept coins, or for cashing in gems without having to pay the jeweler's
fee. Simply put either coins or a gem on one side of the balance, say the magic
word, and the balance will turn coins into a gem of equal value or the gem into
coins of the gem's worth.
W hen activated the balance w ill tur n up to 1,000 coins (the balance only
holds 100 coins if not in a bag) in a gem of equal value. If a gem is placed on
the balance then the balance tr ansfor m s it into local coins of equal value.
The balance can be used up to thr ee tim es a day. (Rar e)
Bead of Dew. This one you'll want to stock up on. Perfect when you have to
stock up on your water supplies but your source of water is of a dubious
nature. Just drop one of these into a barrel of water, and you've instantly got
pure clean drinking water.
The bead w ill pur ify up to 100 gallons of w ater w hen places in the vessel
containing the w ater. The effect is per m anent, though the w ater m ay foul
nor m ally after w ar ds. This uses up the bead. (Com m on)
Cabi n et of Secu r i t y. A must for captains who don't like people meddling in
their affairs. The cabinet has several functions, and you'll use all of them. First
only you can open it without magic. Second it can't be moved unless you want
it to. Third, and most important, you can decide what drawers are visible when
people are looking through it.
The cabinet has thr ee effects, all tr igger ed w ith the com m and w or d. The fir st
effect causes Ar cane Lock to be cast on the cabinet. This lasts until its ow ner
uses the com m and w or d to deactivate it. The second pr events the cabinet
fr om being m oved. The only w ay to m ove the cabinet to take a section of the
floor w ith it. The last effect allow s the ow ner to cr eate an illusion that any
num ber of dr aw er s to appear as em pty shelves. Any of the effects can be
used as often as needed. (Rar e)
Ch al i ce of Det ect i on . This one is a true lifesaver. Nothing fancy about it, any
kind of poison is put into the chalice and it turns it into a frothy foul smelling
green liquid. You will instantly know that somebody is trying to drug you.
Then all you have to do is use the cat of nine tails to figure out who.
W hen a poison is placed in the chalice, the chalice tr ansfor m s the liquid
inside it to a gr een foul sm elling fluid. W hile it does not neutr alize the
146
poison, it is im possible to m iss the tr ansfor m ation. (Uncom m on)
Desk of St u dyi n g. For you M erchant Princes or other wizardly types, you
need this. The desk speeds up the time it takes to memorize spells from a few
hours to just a few minutes. W hile the desk to too large to take adventuring, it's
perfect in a captain's cabin.
W hen a w izar d sits at the desk to pr epar e spells, it only takes 1 m inute per
spell to pr epar e all the spells instead of 1 m inute per spell level. (Ver y Rar e)
Ear r i n g of Seam an sh i p. So you've got a landlubber that don't know the jib
from the head and you can't just throw him overboard. W ith this little gem
you'll make a salt out of him yet. Just stick it in his lobe and he'll automatically
know the difference between a rope and a line. If he ain't got his ears pierced
yet, well, that's why they made knives.
Wear ing the Ear r ing gives you pr oficiency in Vehicles (Water ). (Uncom m on)
Fi gu r eh ead of Pr ot ect i on . If you don't have one of these on your ship yer a
damned fool. This beauty will keep your ship from harm, no matter what.
Rocks, sea monsters, or ballista fire fire just scratches the paint. The only way
your ship is going to the deep is through sorcery, nothing else will touch it.
W hile attached to the bow of an ocean going ship, the ship gains Im m unity
(non-m agic attacks). (Legendar y)
Gaf f of Dock i n g. The best way to make money on the seas is to leave nothing
to chance. This item's effect isn't impressive, but the peace of mind it gives a
ship's captain is worth the price. Just touch the gaff to the ship or mooring you
are docking with and your ship will effortlessly slide along side it. Can also be
used for boarding actions, but you didn't hear that from me.
W hen touched to a dock or another ship, your ship w ill gently m ove along
side it, no check needed. (Com m on)
Gavel of Au t h or i t y. W hile a Captain's M ast is rarely a pleasant thing, with the
gavel at least they will listen to you. Just slam it down once and everyone
present will be captivated by your every word. Great for stopping mutinies
before they start.
W hen activated your Char ism a based skill checks have advantage for 10
m inutes. The Gavel can be used thr ee tim es per day. (Uncom m on)
Han dk er ch i ef of Fl i r t i n g. This one you will get a lot of use out of at parties
and soirees. Just wave it in front of your face, say the magic word and for the
next hour you will be the life of the ball. Ladies will find you irresistible, no
matter how bad your jokes.
W hen activated you have advantage on all Per suasion skill checks of a
r om antic natur e against char acter s of the opposite sex for one hour. The
Handker chief of Flir ting w or ks once per day. (Uncom m on)
Han dk er ch i ef of Len gt h s. This is a discrete but effective lifesaver. Looks like
an ordinary kerchief, but you say the command word and you can lengthen it
out for a couple hundred feet. Great when you need to make a quick get away
off a balcony or have to tie up some guard while you do a little ransacking.
The Handker chief w ill go fr om sever al inches long to up to 200 feet long
w hen you pull on it as you use the com m and w or d. The w eight w ill not
change, and the handker chief has the sam e toughness of silk r ope. It w ill
r etur n to nor m al size if you use the com m and w or d again, untying itself on
147
the opposite end if necessar y. (Uncom m on)
Ever f u l I n k w el l . If you're a penny pincher like myself, you'll love this magical
creation. It never runs out of ink, ever! Write your memoirs knowing you've
spent your last copper on ink. It won't even spill when tipped over! How can
you beat that kind of value?
The inkw ell never r uns out of ink w hen used w ith a pen. The ink is
non-m agical, and w ill only com e out w hen a pen is dipped in it. (Com m on)
I r on s of I m pr i son m en t . Sometimes you have to clap a man in irons. Knowing
our business, that man will usually know his way around a lock or two. So
what to do? Try these magical shackles. They work on command words, they
don't even have a lock! One word locks them in place, another word frees them.
Remember to take them off before you chuck the sorry bastard overboard.
The ir ons w hen activated lock in place as an Ar cane Lock until the other
com m and w or d unlocks them . The ir ons cannot be dam aged except by
m agic. (Uncom m on)
Ladl e of Dr i n k i n g. An absolute must for extending the life of your rum ration!
Just say the magic word and the ladle will refill itself ten times with what ever
beverage you just poured. M orale is much easier to maintain if they know the
booze is safe.
W hen activated the Ladle r efills up to ten tim es w ith a non-m agical bever age

Li br u m of Eval u at i on . W hen you are tired or just being lazy, this book will
turn the task of appraising your latest haul into a minor distraction. Just touch
the gem or jewelry to the blank page on the left, and the librum will give you a
description and monetary appraisal on the blank page on the right. Then just
turn the page and start with the next bit of loot. W hen the book is full, close it
up and start again the next day with all the pages pages magically wiped clean!
A Libr um of Evaluation com es w ith 80 + 2d20 pages. Touching a non-m agical
piece of jew elr y or gem causes the libr um to cast an evaluate spell on it, w ith
the r esults m agically w r itten on the opposite page. W hen the book is full, it
ceases to function for 24 hour s after w ar ds the book is w iped clean and can be

Por t abl e M ast . You will want several of these, trust me. Say you lose a mast in
a storm or to hostile action. Normally you are in dire straights, but with a
portable mast replacing the lost sail is a breeze. Just clear the damaged one out
of the way, place this pole and say the magic word. The pole will grow to
replace the missing mast, complete with fully rigged sails!
The por table m ast only w or ks on ships. W hen the com m and w or d is spoken
the 10' pole gr ow s to the size of the desir ed m ast, and even pr oduces sails and
r igging of the appr opr iate type. Saying the com m and w or d again r etur ns the
sail back to its nor m al shape. (Rar e)
Needl e of Sew i n g. Got this little treasure off an Ierendi captain in a game of
cards, along with everything she was wearing but her socks. This one is a real
time saver. Just touch it to what you need fixed, say the magic word and the
needle will stitch back up! Not just cloth, I've seen this thing sew back
splintered wood good a new. Your sailmaker will thank you for this one.
148
The needle can be used to cast the mending cantr ip at w ill. (Com m on)
Oar of Row i n g. Another fantastic piece of nautical magic, the Oar will row by
itself with the strength of twenty men! Just put the business end in the water
and say the magic word and off you go. Now unless you want to go in circles,
you'll need twenty men on the other side of the boat as well. Or just just buy
two!
W hen the paddle is placed in the w ater the oar w ill r ow by itself as if pulled
by tw enty m en until the com m and w or d is spoken again. Unless an equal
am ount of r ow er s or another Oar of Row ing is on the opposite side of the
ship, the ship w ill go in cir cles. (Rar e)
Ar om at i c Pi pe. This is just a creature comfort, but a needed one. Place any
combustible material in the pipe, from tobacco to paper, say the command
word and the pipe will turn it into a lovely pipeweed with any flavor desired.
Turn torn up paper into the finest Belcadiz tobacco, or go for more exotic smells
like cherry wood or m int.
W hen the com m and w or d is spoken the pipe the pr oduces a flavor ed sm oke
of the sm oker 's choice. (Com m on)
Pol e of An gl i n g. If you need fresh fish for the crew, or you are fishing for
bigger game, this gem here is what you be needing. Bait the hook, cast the line,
and name your catch. As long as its near by you'll haul it without harm within
a minute. Best part it as long as it lives in the sea, you can catch it! Giant
crabs, sea serpents, merfolk, all can snatched from the sea with this beauty.
Yeah don't expect the mermaid to be happy to see you if you reel her in with
this.
The user nam es a sea cr eatur e and casts the line. If the cr eatur e is w ithin 1
m ile they w ill sw im to the line in 1d6 r ounds. Once the tar get has taken the
bait the pole w ill r eel them in w ithout har m . The pole w ill not w or k on
cr eatur es w ith 100hp or m or e, and any cr eatur e CR3 or higher can m ake a
Str ength save vs. DC10 to avoid the affects. The pole can be used thr ee tim es
a day, including failed attem pts.
Qu i l l of For ger y. W hile I'm not suggesting you partake of any illegal activities,
sometimes you need something authorized and the local authorities are asking
for a tad more than the going price for the service. W ith this dandy item, just
get a sample of their handwriting and you can make any form look perfectly
legal!
The Quill of For ger y r equir es a sam ple of the w r iting to be copied to be held
in the off hand. W hen activated you can per fectly copy the handw r iting of
the sam ple w ell enough to pass any scr utiny. The Quill can w r ite up to 100
w or ds per day befor e needing to r echar ge for 24 hour s. (Rar e)
Ru dder of Gu i dan ce. Any captain that doesn't have one of these on his ship is
a damned fool if you ask me. You put the rudder on your ship, say the
command word and your destination and the rudder will steer straight to the
destination, never once veering off course. If you have to take a detour, just say
the command word again and the ship is yours. Cuts down on the need for a
helmsman dramatically.
The Rudder of Guidance has to be installed on a ship to w or k . Once activated
the ship w ill not go off cour se, but w ill go the shor test w ay possible, even if
that r oute takes the ship thr ough inclem ent w eather or danger ous ar eas.

Soap of Wash i n g. You will thank me for this purchase later. Just put this bar
of soap in a bucket of water and for the next hour and stain the water touches is
instantly cleaned. Works on crew as well! Just line them up in a row and get to
washing, your nose will appreciate it!
Put the soap in a container of w ater , for the next hour any non-m agical stain
touched by the w ater is instantly cleaned. The soap is used up in the pr ocess.
(Com m on)
Spoon of M edi cat i on . So you've got a man down with an illness, before it
spreads to the rest of the crew get him back to shipshape with this dandy
charm. Just fill it with honey and shove the remedy down his throat, disease
cured!
To activate fill the spoon w ith honey and im bibe. The spoon w ill cur e all
non-m agical diseases. The spoon can be used once per day. (Com m on)
Tabl e of Pl en t y/Ban qu et s. This wonder is perfect for saving your ship's stores,
especially if your steward isn't the greatest cook in the world. Simply say the
command word and four meals will magically appear, complete with settings!
The food is adequate fare, and can be summoned three times a day. Now if you
have the gold, upgrade to the Table of Banquets to keep the entire ship happy.
Now the table will expand to feed up to 40 people, just like above. You'll need
the space of course, my suggestion is to use it above decks when possible as the
table will be 60' long. Best part, say the command word again and all the
scraps instantly vanish!
The Table of Plenty w ill m agically cr eate up to four m eals thr ee tim es a day,
com plete w ith place settings, candles and tablecloth. Anything m oved m or e
than 5' fr om the table vanishes. The Table of Banquets w ill also expand up to
60', w ith settings for four additional people per 5' expanded. The Table of
Banquets w ill r etur n to nor m al size w ith the com m and w or d again. It is
identical in all other pur poses as the Table of Plenty. (Rar e/Ver y Rar e)
Tom e of Tr an sl at i on . So you're ashore on the Isle of Dread and the village
chief is telling something and you don't know if he's offering you his daughter
or inviting you to be the main course at dinner. Well, worry no longer! Hold
open the Tome of Translation and all conversation will be translated into the
language of the reader. Works great until you realize the village chief can't
read.
W hen the Tom e is open all dialogue is tr anscr ibed into the language of the
per son being spoken to. The Tom e w ill r ecor d up to 300 pages of dialogue
befor e it slam s shut and r equir es 24 hour s to r echar ge, then it w ill open w ith
all pages blank again. (Uncom m on)
Xyl ogr aph . One problem you have with a lot of sailors is they can't write for
anything. This is the answer to your prayers! This seemingly boring square
piece of wood will sketch out everything you say with perfect spelling as soon
as you say the command word. Say it again and the grooves magically fill with
ink! Then just put a piece of parchment to it and you've got yourself a letter
that would make any scribe jealous.
W hen you say the com m and w or d the Xylogr aph r ecor ds ever ything said in
its pr esence by inscr ibing the w or ds onto its self. Activating it again fills the
gr ooves w ith m agical ink and you can use paper to m ake the dialogue into a
letter. You can also dr aw on it w ith just your finger , the Xylogr aph w ill shape
to for m your dr aw ing. The Xylogr aph can be used once per day.
