Earthdawn Revisited - Legendary items of Barsaive

Return to home page:

These are some examples of existing magical items:

Rebellion:

The first blade that was raised against the Therans in the rebellion. Said to seek the heart of authority figures and can only be wielded by those who burn with passion against tyrants and lawful oppression.

All-is-Ash:

A stave of metal formed in Dragon-fire Wielded by the famed elementalist Valadis Kil-Urn used before the Scourge to rouse a volcano through ritual magic and smother the entrance to a Kaer, destroying the besieging horrors and giving the engineers time enough to seal it from the inside.

The Royal Regalia:


 * King-maker - The sword used to Overthrow the former Overseer of Throal and anoint each noble of the new kingdom. It can bestow courage to those touched by it.
 * Burden - The crown of Throal said to give the ability to address vast crowds, speed thought and bestow wisdom.
 * The Door - A shield used to hold the entrance of Kaer Throal used in the final evacuation of the surface world. It was the last object to see the sunlight before the Scourge. It can not break and focuses all attackers against its wielder.

Dawn-Bringer - This enormous Troll-sword was carried by Vaara Longfang on her journeys across Barsaive before the Earthdawn was lost. The saviour of many settlements and the shining light that led people to the surface. It is said that it shines with light when pointing towards people in need of help.

Justice: The Axe used by a travelling Magistrate named Opal Gii-Thir. She travelled around the countryside bringing fair and impartial justice to all. It is said that her wisdom and judgement were so keen that her blade never touched a single innocent and she fought bare-handed rather than wield it in anger against fellow name-givers. But in the rare instances that somebody was irredeemably horror-touched or guilty of particularly heinous murder she would strike them dead with a single blow. Since her death the blade is unable to cut anybody unless the crime they speak is spoken aloud first.

The Black Razor - A knife made from Obsidian that never dulls. It was used in a brutal series of murders.
