Magnus Kay

Magnus Kay grew up on the streets of Fellport, an orphan stealing for both fun and survival. He never knew his parents, and he made his peace with that long ago. He still looks like a scrawny kid in his young adulthood, even though he eats well nowadays. His keeps his golden blonde hair short on the sides, but the top tends to do its own thing regardless of Magnus's wishes. His deep blue eyes usually smile, but they go icy cold when protecting his friends from bullies.

The Fellport Watch know him well (and mostly treat him warmly, like a wayward son) from frequent stays in a cell, mostly for theft and trespassing. They know he rarely gets violent, except as a last resort to protect his friends from violence, and they never have trouble dealing with him. He will do anything to help a friend with no regard for the personal cost. He found himself in all sorts of places he shouldn't have all through his youth, and he learned a few secrets along the way. He knows a few ways into the service tunnels for the Lift to sneak around the city unseen, when he remembers how to get there. He acquired a taste for fine food and drink, and he still does the occasional errand for Damla Balik at The Sacred Squid in exchange for a really good meal.

Legio XIII Solmurus

Ionian Legionaries

The Legio XIII Solmurus ("The Thirteenth") has a long and storied history. In the beginning of the Ionian Empire's expansion, Emperor Valerian created the Legio Solmurus (literally the Sunwall Legion under the standard of the Sun) as an experiment, specifically tasked with countering the elven mages of Alfinwald during the Forest Campaign. They tested experimental Orichalcum equipment fresh out of the workshops, and now every legionary receives a Scutum Solis as part of their standard kit, making every soldier resistant to magic.

The Thirteenth saw individual successes in the Forest Campaign, but the elven forces proved more nimble, flanking the rest of the army and devastating formations with lightning, poison clouds, and mud. Hostilities ended with almost no changes to the border between Ionia and Alfinwald. More importantly, the Thirteenth suffered very few losses and gained quite a few recruits.

Divining Dirk

Divining Dirk

Weapon (dagger), uncommon

Dirks have been a favorite everyday sidearm of the Dunhill Confederacy for centuries. The long blade of a dirk naturally gives a +1 bonus to damage rolls but reduces its thrown range to 10/30.

Divining Dirks all possess great durability, retaining a sharp edge even after some abuse that would dull lesser blades. The wielder gains no magical bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon. The pommel cap usually has a perforated design which gives some hint about what it locates.

Frog Lily

Frog Lily

Wondrous item, uncommon

This normal-looking white or yellow flower looks like it grew in a pond as recently as an hour ago. It feels slightly damp to the touch, and none known have grown larger than 4 inches in diameter. It will keep indefinitely in a dry place, but once placed in water the fun begins.

Within 5 minutes of continuous contact with water, croaking frogs start gathering. Slowly frogs start appearing, chirping and grunting, gathering around the lily. After an hour of contact with water, the full magic of the Frog Lily takes effect.

Mist Rapier

Weapon (rapier), rare

This short, steel, straight-bladed rapier reflects light, but it never shines. Its metal remains a pale metallic grey no matter how diligently cleaned and polished, as if forged from an ingot of heavy fog. Its basket hilt has a cloud motif, hiding the wielder's hand in a roiling fog and making it harder to predict where the blade will move next.

The wielder gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon. When the wielder wishes, the Mist Rapier glows with a purple faerie fire effect, radiating dim light in a 10 foot radius.
