Swords of Sin

-

Ancient Thassilon was not ruled by wizards and spells alone, for even the runelords had their martial champions.

The Seven Swords of Sin

While myths hold that the other swords were originally as powerful as the sword of lust, each currently acts as a +1 sword. The weapons are as follows.

Asheia, Sword of Lust

Aura strong enchantment; CL 16th
Slot none; Weight 6 lbs.

This beautiful blade is a +5 flaming longsword. While bearing the weapon, the wielder is immune to all enchantment effects. Any creature that casts an enchantment spell upon Asheia's wielder is led to believe its wielder or effect worked as normal and that the sword's bearer is under its control, allowing the wielder to deceive his opponent if he so chooses (and doesn't give his enemy a reason to believe its magic failed). Whenever Asheia strikes an opponent, the target must succeed at a Will DC 20 save or fall under the effects of a charm monster spell. Only one creature can be charmed in this way at a time. If another creature becomes charmed by the sword, the first is freed from this effect. If the sword instead scores a critical hit, the target must succeed at a DC 25 Will save or be affected by a dominate monster spell.

Sword of Pride

Although known as the sword of pride, in appearances, this is nothing more than an elegant basket hilt seemingly made of glass or highly polished crystal with no blade, as the deadly length of this +1 rapier is invisible.

Sword of Wrath

This scarred piece of crimson stained metal functions similarly to a +1 greatsword.

Sword of Sloth

A scene of imperial decadences depicted in fantastically fine etchings - which seem to change upon each consideration - covers the surface of this +1 short sword.

Sword of Envy

A purely cosmetic magical effect causes the elegant blade of this +1 bastard sword  to cycle through distinctive colors and textures, making it appear to be crafted from massive pieces of gemstone, coral, or precious metals.

Sword of Gluttony

This +1 falchion has a misty, ethereal quality that makes it appear to be spectral in nature despite being perfectly tangible to the touch.

The Bone Field (Lamashan (X) 29th, 4712 AR)

-
Image
Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele

Unearthing the Shrine (Erastus (VII) 15th, 4712 AR)

-
Skaldwood Very few Shoanti actually reside in Korvosa. Skaldwood is a copse of trees just outside the city proper. The Shoanti who call the Skaldwood home have worn numerous trails through the wood, connecting the many clearings where they have established semi-permanent campgrounds.  The Shoanti living in Skaldwood are wary of outsiders, but direct inquiring Pathfinders to the local sage named Telmayne Fire-Eyes when asked. Telmayne is young for a shaman, and her tall, athletic appearance often surprises those who seek her out. She is shaved bald in the custom of many of her people, and wears a scarlet bandanna tied around her head. She seemed indifferent to the heroes' problem, and studied them with a dispassionate eye as they described the conflict between Zeeva and the Aspis Consortium. She perked up at any mention of the supernatural events of the previous encounter, especially when the heroes revealed that they suspected a Shoanti connection. "I suppose I could tell you

The Market Spirit, Part I (Erastus (VII) 15th, 4712 AR)

Once the heroes completed the ritual of the klars, they experienced a sensation of dizziness and that the world was melting away. The heroes were transported to the Ethereal Plane. The Market Spirit The heroes materialized in the Ethereal Plane in the same positions they occupied when the transition started. A ghostly, gray version of the Green Market stands around them, with larger trees, small hillocks, and Galdron Greenheart's altar occupying the space. In a small clearing of sparse trees stands a solitary table of stone before a pool of clear water. A simple camp with a smoldering campfire and a large tent made from animal skins and wooden poles has been set up to the east. Superimposed over the idyllic landscape is a gray, ghostly image of the Green Market - its wagons, carts, and stalls seemingly untouched from a moment before. This image fades to mist approximately sixty feet away, revealing a great battle being fought farther in the distance on all sides. The heroes can see
