Artifacts

Within Grangathor are ancient and powerful magic items hidden throughout the land. Some are located in temples or forgotten catacombs, while others are on display in museums and found in a kings's armory. No matter the size or power, each artifact has a rich history to be learned.

The Binding Three
Nursery Rhyme told to young children:

The mage Keltor was a snore

But fancied a lady sweet as a daisy.

He performed dark arts to win her heart

And created The Binding Three.

The Book to search

The Bottle to bind

The Box to hold

The laws defied.

With Demon cowed who raged so loud

Did Keltor present to his lady so gent.

Gift unwrapped the Demon kidnapped

And his love became a curse.

Colossus Belt
Excerpt from King Gram's Journals

"...finally felled, the Jotun King laid across the snow. His blood formed a dark red bed so regal even I felt jealous at his all too noble death. I heard the sounds of his wives and children being slaughtered in the distance, but my attention was on the magnificent belt. It seemed to be calling my name, throbbing with power for me. As my hand touched it, I felt a surge of power so strong my knees buckled. It had judged me, and found me worthy."

After this, King Gram would go on to conquer and bring the rest of the North under his control.

Frostbrand
On display at the Avalon Library, its inscription reads...

"Found in the lair of the white dragon Icefang and retrieved by Sir Isaac Menithor, Frostbrand has a cruel history. the story goes, as told by Diviner Diana, that the blade was originally a beautiful nymph. Her beauty and her voice caught the obsession of a young king, who ordered his guards to imprison her. A court pet, she did not sing for her master, who grew angry with each silent day. He forced the court mage to make her sing, and set about day and night for a month. Finally, he presented his king with Frostbrand who sang her mournful wail with every swing. The king, giddy with delight, asked for a demonstration of the sword, to which the mage replied by beheading him."
