Sigil Emporium – Crown of the Elemental King

They say that long ago, in a distant land, there lived gods among men; rulers of civilisations who could command the natural world as easily as they did men. These kings were blessed by the gods with Crowns that gave them ultimate control over a specific element. And over time e they, and their kingdoms, began to resemble the elements they controlled. The Water King ruled over an island thalassocracy, the Earth King controlled the mountains and its valuable mines, the Lightning King ruled the plains and its thunderstorms raged as hard as his legions of chariots, and so and so forth. But the gods were petty, and would not let

Sigil Bestiary – Titan

The greatest of all giants and rivals to the gods, the Titans are the undisputed lords of creation. They are able to wrestle elder dragons, tame leviathans, and hunt behemoths for sport. Truly there is nothing a Titan cannot do. Or, rather l, nothing a Titan could do. Those halcyon days of Titan supremacy have long passed, replaced by the age of man. While humans are nothing more than gnomes and dwarves to a Titan, they have one thing the giants lack: flexibility of thought. A Titan’s mind is as rigid as his body is large, and he cannot adapt well to a changing landscape. As human civilisation flourished, the Titan’s

Sigil Emporium – The Godslayer

There are few things which can kill a god, but this spear is one of them. By all accounts, it was an ordinary spear, fashioned of wood and iron, wielded by a very ordinary soldier. Yet, on one auspicious day, it managed to do the impossible: slay a god. From that day, it has become infused with the power of a god, allowing it to pierce any object and wound any man, beast or god. As it passed from hand to hand, it has become embellished and ornamented to fit its status as a Godslayer. Bedecked with gold and silver around the blade, the finest leathers and silks on the rod,

Sigil Bestiary – Molbara

Neither plant nor animal, these so-called land-octopods are fearsome, ravenous beasts that devour all in their path. Being little more than a mouth with tentacles, one would think these monsters are intelligent consumers, but that could not be further from the truth. There is a bestial but cunning intelligence within them, able to outthink and outsmart human prey and even able to cast plant-based magic (using its Mental Skill) to control the plants within the swamps where it lives. More than its magic and its hunger, the Molbara is best known for its breath, a combination of both. It can spew forth magical fumes and gasses that can paralyse creatures, put

Sigil Emporium – Magic Carpet

Well, more of a rug, really. This Magic Carpet, as its name implies, is an enchanted handmade rug in the oriental fashion. These beautifully made Carpets usually sit at around 1.5 metres wide by 2 metres long, and while can tie any room together to make a home look stunning, their main purpose is as an automated ferry. A Magic Carpet, when ordered by someone on it, can fly anywhere he chooses. Faster than any horse or camel, and higher than any tower, everywhere in the world becomes easily accessible. There is only one flaw, however: there is no return trip. As soon as the Carpet has deposited its riders at
