These twin Dornish blades guard's are circle-shaped, inlaid with bone and silver (resembling icicles).

Their grips are formed like Dornish runic scrolls of a dark brown wood. <br> Weight [1.5 lbs.]
<br> '''Properties:'''
* '' +4 Swords of Icy Blast '' : Upon command, the weapon is sheathed in icy cold. The cold does not harm the wielder. The effect remains until another command is given. The weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of cold damage on a successful hit.  The weapon also explodes with frost, dealing an extra 1d10 points of cold damage on a successful critical hit. Even if the blade is not sheathed in cold, the weapon still deals its extra cold damage on a successful critical hit. 
*  '' Blooded '':  These blades were retempered in fires among the bowels of Rokan's Hold.  They retain their enhancement bonuses and powers even when within the presence of a black mirror and need not make any saves.


==== ''' Aryth's Halo ''' ====
Appearing to be nothing more than a squared ring off a Dornish anvil until fully activated. Until "attuned" this ring can only use the "Meld into Stone" ability.  A wearer must find and "control" an Earth elemental to attune the ring and user to unlock all the abilities.  This is done through either combat (defeating an Earth Elemental) or speaking with an Earth Elemental - contested Diplomacy check vs. Earth Elemental.   <br> Weight [1 lbs.]

::* '' Air & Electricity '' : the wearer can be effected adversely by Air and Electicity effects.  They also suffer a -2 against these effects.
::*  Earthen Elementals can't attack the wearer, or even approach within 5 ft. of him.

If the charm attempt fails, however, absolute protection is lost and no further attempt at charming can be made.  
::*  The wearer gains a +4 morale bonus on all attack rolls agains Earth elemental creatures.
::*  Earth Elementals attacking allies of the ring's wearer take a -1 penalty on attack rolls.

Scares made from snaring items or otherwise seem to "evaporate" healing within 1d6 hours to look as new as the day they were crafted.Both gloves must be worn to be empowered. <br> Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wonderous Item, shield.  <br> [similar to Gloves of Arrow Snaring]

You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this ability.  
*  The wearer can use Entropic Shield as a spell-like ability 1/day.
*  The wearer gains a +6 Enhancement Bonus to "sleight of hand" type skills or dexterous handed actions.
  


==== ''' The Coat of the Bone ''' ====
<font color="gray">'''On Kyuad's Gear list'''</font><br />
AKA. the Gyrn's Garment of Grief, Eddatarm<br>  This coat wears as a cloak with large metal breast buckles of a coat.  It appears to be that of a Dornish winter cloak, the shoulders high with the white fur of a winter wolf down to a point in the middle of the back where it continues in hammered thinned black leathers, weighted with bone along the bottom to scrape the ground.  It appears to be embroidered with small figures representing the fallen Dornish ancestory of House Gyrn (Irding IS amoung the runic story!).  Only the wearer can see the embroidery and recognize them for what they truly can be... the creatures they become, and detatch them. One figure can be detached each round as a standard action, 1d6 can be detached with a full round action.  Detaching a figure causes it to become an actual undead creature.  The skeleton or Fell is not under the control of the wearer of the robe, but may be subsequently commanded, rebuked, turned, or destroyed.  The coat can have it's embroidered figures "replaced" with new undead. To do so the caster must use a power source (such as a Nexus) to place an undead on the coat. <br>  (similar to Robe of Bones, DMG 265)  Moderate Necromancy (evil); CL 6th; Craft Wonderous Item, animate dead. <br> Weight [5.4 lbs.]<br>  '''Embroidered Figures currently on Coat:'''
:* '' (29) 1 HD Goblin skeletons ''
:* '' (13) 1 HD Dorn skeletons ''
:* '' (7) 6 HD Winter Wolf skeletons ''
:* '' (6) 5th level Hobgoblin Barbarian (male) Faengrals ''
:* '' (1) 9th level Dorn Defender (male) Maelgral ''
:* '' (2) Dire Wolf 3rd level Wildlander (female & male) Ungral ''
: ''' EDDATARM honorary member of the House of Gyrn'''
:*  AL: E* (Any Evil character can use this item, any character whose alignment does not correspond to that of the coat gains one negative level - for details see p. 269 DMG)
:*  Int: 10, Wis: 10, Cha: 16
:*  Communication:  Empathy
:*  120' Darkvision, blindsense and Hearing
:*  '''Lesser Powers:'''  
::*  Deathwatch continually active
:*  Purpose:  Defend the Dornish & Elven peoples, by stamping out invading enemies of the territory
:*  '''Dedicated Power:'''
::*  use Waves of Exhaustion
:*  '''EGO:'''  9  (if personality conflict occurs: Will SV DC9 - p. 269 DMG) 
:*  '''CURSE:'''  The Coat of Bone has put down many on it's own... For as much as it wanted to be worn, it found itself cursed.  A detect poison spell can reveal the presence of poison impregnated in the coat's leather. It can be handled without harm, but as soon as it is actually donned the wearer is killed instantly unless he succeeds on a DC28 Fort SV.  Luckily the last wearer was a Vampyre.


==== ''' Wizardry Circlet ''' ====
<font color="gray">'''On Kyuad's Gear list'''</font><br />
AKA.  the Ego's Cord, the Circlet of Intellect, Isecizot the Mindful Tender
This circlet is a light cord of metals woven as a rope, hardened by the forge with a small onyx gem so that it rests upon the forehead of the wearer.  The headband adds to the wearer's Intelligence score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +4.  This enhancement bonus does not earn the wearer extra skill points when a new level is attained; use the unenhanced Int bonus to determine skill poins. <br /> The wearer's arcane spell energy can be augmented with a request of the band. Before the wearer can communicate with or use the circlet, he must attune himself to it by concentrating on the band's power and cordially introducing himself.  The more that the wearer shares with the circlet, the more apt the item will be to work ''with'' the wearer. This requires undisturbed concentration and takes 3 hours. At the end of this period, the wearer makes a Concentration check with a DC of 20. If he succeeds, the wearer is attuned with the band until removed. When removed the duration of the attunement runs out, the wearer must repeat the process. If successful in attuning the circlet, the wearer can choose to increase the DC of the Concentration check required for another person to attune the circlet to match his own Concentration check result.  <br> '''Powering Spells''':  When an attuned channeling spellcaster casts a spell while wearing the band, he may draw on the band's spell energy to help power the spell. To do so, he casts the spell as normal and makes a Concentration check with a DC equal to 15 + the level of the spell. If he succeeds, the band provides up to one half the points of the required spell energy from its spell energy pool (round down), while the channeler provides the rest from his own spell energy pool or by suffering Constitution damage (Taint may not be used to cast spells with the circlet's aid). For every 5 points by which he exceeds the check DC, the band provides an additional point of spell energy. Using the band in this way is not considered an action, and requires no additional time beyond that normally consumed in the casting of the spell. <br>  [similar to Headband of Intellect & Ring of Wizardry]  Moderate Transmutation; CL 18th; Craft Wonderous Item & Forge Ring, fox's cunning and Limited Wish. <br> Weight [2.4 lbs.] 
::*  Spell Energy:  23
::*  Recovery:  1d10 per day
: ''' ISECIZOT the Mindful Tender'''
:*  AL: N* (Any Neutral character can use this item, any character whose alignment does not correspond to that of the circlet gains one negative level - for details see p. 269 DMG)

:*  '''CURSE:'''  Wearer must made a DC 19 Will save each day or take 1d4 point of Wisdom damage. (bypasses all immunities)


==== ''' The Wither Stick ''' ====
This Rod weapon weighs some 5 lbs.  It's 2.5 ft long nearly 3 inches wide and made of Cold Iron.  Ancient Dwarven Runes are carved into this iron bar, hailing from beneath the Highhorn mountain range.  The defender can negate the damage dealt with a DC 20 Fort save.  <br>  Necromancy; CL 15th; Craft Rod, craft magic arms and Armor. [similar to a Rod of Withering]
<br> '''Properties:'''
* +3 light mace that deals no hit point damage.  Instead, the wielder deals 1d6 points of Strength damage, 1d6 points of Constitution damage and 1d4 points of Wisdom damage to any creature hit by a melee attack with the rod.  
*  On a critical hit the damage from that hit is permanent ability drain.  
*  AC 10, 50hp, break DC35


==== ''' Focusing Essence ''' ====
This small yellow ocher speckled block is roughly the size of Halfling's shoe.  The sweet smell of cucumbers lingers from the incense which is visually indistinguishable from nonmagical incense until lit.  When it is burning, the special fragrance and pearly-hued smoke of this incense are recognizable to anyone making a DC15 Spellcraft check.  This block will burn for 24 hours (3 uses), and effects the user for 4 hours. <br> [similar to Incense of Mediatation]
'''Properties:'''
* The spellcaster can spend 8 hours meditating/studying nearby this incense smoke, the incense enables him to prepare all his spells as though affected by the Empowered spell feat.  All spells cast within that 4 hours are Empowered without the extra spell energy cost normally required. 


==== ''' Lantern of Revealing ''' ====
This ancient iron-shuddered lantern operates as a normal bullseye lantern, but never seems to need oils or fuel.  The Lantern will only function when there is a presence of invisible beings/creatures - their exuding power fuels its light.  <br> Faint evocation, CL 5th; Craft Wonderous Item, daylight, faerie fire. <br> [similar to Lantern of Revealing]
<br> '''Properties:'''
* While it is lit, the light from the lantern creates a glowing outline around all invisible creatures and objects within 30 ft, such as Lost and Trapped spirits.  Outlined creatures do not benefit from invisibility or similar effects, though the lantern's light does not purge these effects. The lantern does not cause any harm to the objects or creatures thus outlined. The light from the lantern, which extends 30 ft. (shadowy illumination beyond) temporarily negates magical darkness so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.


==== ''' the Ledger of Gyrn ''' ====
<font color="gray">'''On Kyuad's Gear list'''</font><br />
(magic item / spellbook)'' (1 lb.) <br> 
This book is impressively clear despite the bad illustrations due to extensive references. It doesn't take much effort to determine that it will prove useful. After a quick examination, one will find that the contents have a few areas of deep insight you hadn't considered. The worn but well made tome is of a small size: 10"x8" and 3" thick. It is extremely durable, waterproof, bound with iron overlaid with mithral and locked (amazing lock). <br> [similar to Boccobs Blessed Book]
<br> '''Properties:'''
* A wizard can fill the 1,000 pages of this book with spells without paying the 25 vp per page material cost.



==== ''' The Unabridged Hermetic Lexicon ''' ====
<font color="gray">'''On Kyuad's Gear list'''</font><br />
(magic item / spellbook)'' (7.3 lb.) <br> 
This book is hard to understand because of a lack of coherent planning. With time, intellect, or both, one can make sense of the book, and it will reveal it is extremely useful. Making it even more of a find, the contents provide an occasional insight or new idea. This work bestows upon any character the ability to use the spells within its pages. However, any character not already able to use spells gains one negative level for as long as the book is in his possession or while he uses its power. The book has 25 pages. Once a page is turned it can never be turned back - paging through is a one-way trip. If the book is closed, it always opens again to the page it was on before the book was closed.  When the last page is turned, the book vanishes.  Once per day the owner of the book can cast the spell to which the book is opened.  If that spell happens to be one that is on the character's class spell list, he can cast it up to four times per day.  The pages cannot be ripped out without destorying the book.  Similarly, the spells cannot be cast scroll spells, nor can they be copied into a spellbook, their magic is bound up permanently within the book itself.  The owner of the book need not have the book on his person in order to use its power.  The book can be stored in a place of safety while the owner is away and still allow its owner to cast spells by means of its power.  Each time a spell is cast, there is a chance that the energy connected with its use causes the page to magically turn despite all precautions.  The owner knows this and may even benefit from the turning by gaining access to a new spell.  The chace that a page turns depends on the spell the page contains and what sort of spellcaster the owner is.  <br> [similar to the Book of Infinate Spells] <br>  Strong (all schools); CL 18th.
::* Spells
::::* Level 7: ''[http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/spellsMtoO.html#mages-sword Mage's Sword]'' (Caster Level 13) For Kyuad the spell functions thus: A sword of force attacks once per round at +25 (or +29) for 4d6+3 magical force damage (19-20/x2).  Standard action to change its target.  Lasts 13 (or 17) rounds, ranges away from the caster no further than 55 ft. (or 65 ft.).
::::* ???
'''Properties:'''
::  CONDITION / Chance of Page Turning
::  Caster employing a spell usable by own class/level  =  10% 
::  Caster employing a spell not usable by own class/level  =  20%
::  Nonspellcaster employing divine spell  =  25%
::  Nonspellcaster emplying arcane spell  =  30%

Treat each spell use as if a scroll were being employed, for puposes of determining casting time, spell failure, and so on.
