Sigil Emporium – Platonic Philosopher
Ripping a soul from a person and planting it within a crystal is considered by many to be an utterly evil act. This resulting Soul Gem is incredibly powerful and can power many alchemical and arcane abilities. Soul Gems can also be used to cheat death. A few sages have discovered the ancient secret of […]
Sigil Bestiary – Messenger Angel
The divine beings rarely speak to the mortal realm, preferring to remain in their heavens for a variety of reasons. Often it is pride and arrogance, not wishing to debase themselves to speak to mortals; and other times it is to protect the mortals from being exposed to their awesome divine might and being driven […]
Sigil Emporium – Onyx Lotus
It is a rather innocuous looking thing, seeming nothing more than a trinket carved out of black onyx chalcedony to resemble a lotus flower. However, it is one of the most sought after and hunted artefacts, especially by magic users and treasure hunters. For all its deceptive beauty, the Onyx Lotus is immensely powerful, granting […]
Sigil Bestiary – Treant
We often say that plants are unfeeling and unthinking, and for the most part, this is true. Treants are the exception to the rule. Having gained sentience through some miracle that not even they are aware of, Treants are trees that can think, speak, and move as humans do. All of this is on a […]
Sigil Emporium – The Kingsblade
The right to rule can only ever be legitimised by divine ordination. Power ultimately comes from the divine, and those who wield this divine right has absolute power within their realm. In many cases, this divine right is shown through an icon of power and the symbol of authority. In some cases, it is an […]
Sigil Bestiary – Ancient Dragon – and new bestiary format
We have a new format for the Sigil Bestiary, or rather an updated format to include a few new things. Starting this week, each new Bestiary entry will include a Sanctuary section that will show special rules for encountering the creature on its home turf. If the creature is encountered elsewhere, then it doesn’t get […]
Sigil Emporium – Mirror of Lohr
Some men will do anything for love, even creating the most deadly of poisons. In the forgotten city of Lohr, a magus fell in love with a woman who was as vain as he was powerful. Crafting ever more impressive objects to win her favour, the magus eventually created an enchanted talking hand-mirror that could […]
Sigil Bestiary – The Fairy
The Fae are terrible and alien creatures that stalk the veil between the aether and the mortal realms, hunting beasts too monstrous to see, and hoarding knowledge man was never meant to know. Woe betide any man who meets the Fae in a darkened night when their blood has risen and the fury of the […]
Sigil Emporium – Ice Sickle
It was carved from the first frost that formed in the world by the hands of the personifications of Time and Death. The Ice Sickle at first glance seems like nothing more than a curio for a gentleman’s display case: a small harvesting sickle barely one foot in diameter, made seemingly out of glass with […]
Sigil Bestiary – The Warrior
In troubled times, Warriors are the most common profession, and may range from common brigands and bandits, to ruthless amoral mercenaries and adventurers, to stout men-at-arms, and all the way up to the gallant knights in their shining armour and colourful tabards. As long as you have the strength to carry a blade and the […]
Sigil Emporium – Girdle of Thunder
Some say that even the gods were truly mortal, and that their renowned and legendary feats did not come from some divine spark or talent, but through the ingenuity of the enchantments on the items they wore and carried. A prime example of this, these cynics say, is the belt worn by the might thunder-god, […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Manticore
In the frontiers outside the light of civilisation, there prowls a terrifying man-eating beast: the Manticore. With the large and powerful body of a lion, coloured the rusty red of cinnabar, a long, thick tail like a scorpion and the face of a savage man; the Manticore is as ugly to behold as it is […]
Sigil Emporium – Enchiridion Infinium
They say that deep within the Aether there is the great Akashic Records, a vast library containing every piece of knowledge known across the realms. If it has existed, does exist, or will exist, then it can be found within the Akashic Records. Legends state that an ancient magus, the acolyte of a mad god, […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Acolyte
Some men work for power; others are born with it; and some beg, borrow and steal it where they can. Acolytes fall within this latter group. Unable to achieve their own arcane power, they have obtained it (often illicitly) from greater magical beings beyond the aether. These powerful outsiders rarely let any of their power […]
Sigil Emporium – Cloak of Feathers
Said to have once belonged to the Queen of the gods and most beautiful woman to have ever graced the mortal realm with her face, the Cloak of Feathers is both a disguise and a means of transportation. When it is worn, the Cloak allows its wearer to transform into a large bird of prey […]
