The Orb of Ginji
A dark, fist-sized
orb containing murky liquid, this device is the home of an oracular fish named
Ginji. Periodically (at the whims of the fish), Ginji will rise to the surface
of the orb and telepathically alert its owner. It will then impart some bit of
wisdom or prophecy. Ginji is calm and cryptic. It has bulging eyes its scales
are gold and black. The orb is unbreakable.
Wrevek
An undead horse with pale gray
flesh, a black mane and tail, Wrevek was originally created by a necromantic
priestess named Shalla. This immortal steed functions like a normal horse in
many ways. However, being undead, Wrevek never needs sleep or food. He requires
a portion of the rider's spiritual essence (or mana pool) to be
dedicated to him in order to gain full empathic control. He is generally
unafraid of supernatural threats and mystical effects.
The Riddler
In one campaign, the players
traveled with a mysterious warrior (of questionable ethics) who called himself
"the Riddler." Eventually, they fought with him over some issue. After killing
him, Artie--always envious of the Riddler's sword--picked up the weapon.
Immediately, he turned to Cloudshadow, the group's half-elven ranger, and said
in a new, eerie voice, "I am the Riddler..." All along, the warrior was
merely the pawn of the sword. A beautiful weapon, this entity will attempt to
possess anyone who seizes it (and if it fails, it will subsequently make the
attempt again each time the user takes a life with the sword). After assuming
control, the sword will use its victim as a vehicle, setting out under its own
agenda, subverting the original personality and replacing it with the 'Riddler'
persona.
The Black
Snowflake
This mystical construct appears to
be an intricate ebon snowflake, which constantly sheds darkly luminous dust. If
uncontained, the Black Snowflake drifts along a (seemingly) random path. It can
be contained in any mundane way, and might be found in a stoppered vial. Tapping
into its illusionary magicks, the snowflake alters the user's appearance and
surroundings based on subconscious desires. In this way, the user's self and
world become idealized. The person possessing the item may or may not be aware
of this effect. The snowflake is inherently fascinating to the
owner.
