'''***EYES ONLY***'''  This is a specialized "lorebook" of all things that would be immediately available (without skill checks) for the character.  Things will be posted as they come up or are asked about.  Players other than Kyuad SHOULD NOT read this information.

* '''Collune Rahnvalla''' - [[Collune Rahnvalla]] is a pathwalker and a spiritual channeler who specializes in necromancy and divination, and who is a skilled undertaker.  Collune was a young girl when she met Kyuad.  She was just learning how to serve as an undertaker when she heard that a baby was still-born in the town through which she travelled.  She and her teacher arrived and saw that he was still alive, but very close to death.  Once healthy again, Collune took a special interest in the baby's life, and settled permanently in the village as soon as she had finished her training.  Her divinations lead her to see in him a strong portent for a life of great danger and importance.  Kyuad and Collune share a strong bond.  She has taught him much of what he knows, and supports his quest for knowledge.  She also brings to him warnings and guidance that leads him to where she learns he needs to be.  She and Kyuad are creating a language together called [[Safati conlang|Safati]].  Collune lives very simply, working as an undertaker for Hillbird and other towns in the region.  To the outside world, she seems to have a very average life, like anyone else.  Collune sometimes sends messages to Kyuad.

 

 

 

* ''Armor/Clothes:''  

** pants, a duster-like robe/coat, a black cloak/cape, simple travelling gloves, boots, belt with charm buckle, etc. (6 lb.)

** 1 drop-sheathed dagger (1 lb.)

* ''Magic Items''

** '''Acquiring stone''' - "Sometimes ''innovation'' means ''stealing another's secret before anyone else can.''  When successfully counterspelling another spellcaster, this item pays for the spell energy cost of the spell you cast, and returns to you an amount of spell energy equal to the level of the spell cast by your opponent.  It also grants a type of insight into the spells others cast for the purpose of counterspelling.

** ''' Wizardry Circlet ''' AKA.  the Ego's Cord, the Circlet of Intellect, Isecizot the Mindful Tender<br>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.

*** '''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 Wondrous Item & Forge Ring, fox's cunning and Limited Wish. <br> Weight [2.4 lbs.]

** '''True Charm''' - "Cap of Spiritual Awareness"  This item, created by Kyuad and Eranon, grants the user ''[http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/spellsTtoZ.html#true-seeing true seeing]'' vs. incorporeal and bodiless creatures.  This includes incorporeal undead created through necromantic magic, lost spirits, and trapped spirits that have not taken form by using their Manifest or Posession abilities (see pages 335-343 of Midnight 2E).

*** '''7th Level:''' Wearing the eyepiece grants a character the ability to graft body parts as though he had Graft Flesh (undead) feat (note that one must be in a necromantic conflux = pg. 347 of ''Midnight 2nd Edition'' - rather than a nexus in order to graft undead body parts).

* ''Other:''

** ''The Spell Words'' - Spellbook of Irding of the House of Gyrn (4 lb.)

** ''' the Ledger of Gyrn ''' - (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]

*** '''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 ''' - (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.

**** 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.).

**** Caster employing a spell not usable by own class/level =  20%

* ''Books''

** Left for Collune to read once she gets to Hamlet

*** ''History of Runes'', by Agaren the Elder  (found in Vrolk's lab)  [3.8 lbs]

*** ''Grimoire of Lost Treasures'', by Zelkel Wyror the Blue  (found in Vrolk's lab)  [5.7 lbs]

** '''Echo's Splinter''' ''(wooden staff)'' - Found chain-locked in a crate in the attic of ShadowWall, within a fitted silk slipcase.  This impossibly hard* wooden staff is some 4" in diameter and a full 6.5' long.  It is nearly straight with a slight crook in the top section.  It weighs approximately 25 lbs.  The staff holds a series of runes on it, etched into the wood by dark magic and fire - as if burned into the wood against its will.  While the runes can be felt and seen slightly - only pathwalkers can deepen the scars enough to read and use.  (runic record, multiple use, energy-activated)

* ''Covenant Items:''

** '''Harvester of Souls''' a.k.a. ''Corpse Scalpal, The Vile Scythe, Vrolk's Implement, The Fell Skewer'' (held by Collune)

*** damage: 2d4 (magical), crit x4, weight 5 lbs.

*** The wielder is considered a master with the Harvester, whether fighter, Channeller or Aristocrat.  When making attacks with the Harvester, the wielder's Base Attack Bonus is equal to the Harvester's highest activated level or the wielder's Base Attack Bonus, whichever is higher (Example: an 8th-level rogue using the Harvester has a +7 BAB, because the most recent covenant item ability activated at level 7).

*** '''1st Level:''' Damage bonus +1

*** '''4th Level:''' Damage bonus +2

*** '''7th Level:''' The Harvester deals quadruple damage to Fell.  Bonus damage dice are not multiplied. 

*** '''12th Level:''' The Harvester gains the Ghost Touch trait.  Additionally, when damage caused by the Harvester deals a killing blow to a Fell creature or a lost spirit, the wielder gains 1d8 temporary hit points and a +2 bonus to Strength. Additionally, the wielder's effective caster level goes up by +1, improving spell effects dependent on caster level.  These effects last for 10 minutes per HD of the destroyed Fell or lost spirit.

*** '''15th Level:''' As a standard action, a wielder with the ability to command or rebuke undead may strike the blade into the ground, creating a 60-foot cone in which any Fell or Lost are affected as though by halt undead (DC 27). A successful attack from the Fell Skewer instantly destroys undead held by this ability.
