With the return of Overlord Lucan D'Lere, Freeport underwent a massive overhaul in appearance. No longer a city of rough wooden structures thrown together after the Rending and Shattering, the new Freeport shows off the power of the Overlord, including a rebuilt Dethknell Citadel.
Also at this time, the Truespirit re-awakened. Long ago, the Truespirit, in the form of animals of various forms called warders, bonded with certain mortals, known as beastlords. The Harbingers, guardians of the Codex of Khati Sha, re-appeared, and presented the Codex, which taught the ways of the beastlords, to those they found worthy, beginning the Third Awakening.
Within Drunder, the children of Rallos Zek, Sullon, Tallon, and Vallon, defeated their father, preventing him from finding Kerafyrm and obtaining the power of the twin swords. The Duality contacted the leaders of the six major cities of Norrath - Qeynos, Freeport, Kelethin, Neriak, Gorowyn, and New Halas - and got them to agree on an alliance to figure out how to prevent Age's End. While initially reluctant, the leaders of the cities were persuaded when the dragon Yelinak emerged from Thurgadin, and convinced the leaders they needed to work together.
Yelinak also showed the alliance, calling itself the New Combine, how to get through the storm barrier surrounding the area once known as the Wakening Lands. Home of the Plane of Growth, it had become corrupted and stormy. Now called the Withered Lands,
it still held Skyshrine, ruled by Yelinak and his Claws of Veeshan. Slowly pushing back the corruption, the New Combine made its way to Skyshrine.
The City of Freeport's Great Port
This painting shows the harbour of Freeport, after the construction efforts following the return of the Overlord. At the top, on the right, is the new Dethknell Citadel.
Pennant of Skyshrine Loyalty
In Skyshrine, the droag Jorlak was attempting to open a portal to the Underdepths, to prevent Kerafyrm from altering history. To do so, he needed various components, some of which could only be found in the past. Through his chronomagic, the portal was completed, and those who aided him, disguised as droag, became trusted by the inhabitants. This pennant, granted only to the most highly-trusted allies, allows one to return to the city from anywhere.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Icon of the Recondite
Found in the Lyceum of the Recondite, this icon depicts an unknown dragon. Similar styles are found all throughout the city of Skyshrine.
Crest of the Lion's Mane
Like Freeport, Qeynos also underwent renovations. The castle was remodelled, the walls fortified, and many other aesthetic improvements were made all around the city. But not all was well. The villages - the Baubbleshire, Castleview Hamlet, Graystone Yard, Nettleville, Starcrest Commune, and the Willow Wood - were attacked, and a network of spies was uncovered who were trying to resurrect Kyle Bayle to allow him to seize the throne.
This is a replica of the crest of the Lion's Mane, one of the major inns in South Qeynos.
The Stone of Kaladim
During the trouble in Qeynos, a Sullonite artefact brought to the city caused the barbarians and dwarves of Graystone Yard to suddenly start fighting each other - and not the usual drunken brawls, or fights for fun. In the middle of Graystone Yard was the Stone of Kaladim, the only reminder of their home of Kaladim, lost to bugbears and kobolds. Concerned about it being destroyed in the fighting, Mav and Marv Boilfist had a plan to move it, but a dweomer had been placed on it to make it immovable except by a member of the Stormhammer family. Another dwarf in the city, Brelaine, was discovered to be the great-grandaughter of Kazon Stormhammer's first son, and the only child of that line. At first reluctant to accept the responsibility, she was convinced that the stone was worth saving, lest the dwarves lose any more than they already
had. The stone was successfully moved, and Brelaine was hailed as the dwarven queen, not only by the dwarves of Graystone Yard, but by Councilor Harkold, who stepped down from the Council of Ten to allow Queen Brelaine to take her place, invited by Queen Antonia Bayle.
A replica of the stone is displayed here.
Navigated Travels
Before the Shattering, Qeynos was a primarily human city. Since then, members of other races whose cities were severely damaged or destroyed in the Rending have made their way there. Wishing to pass along their cultures and ways, mentors for each race were established. Those who completed the tasks were awarded with one of these compasses.

"Altar of Malice" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
After the Shattering, many survivors were rescued by the ships of the Far Seas Trading Company and brought to the Isle of Refuge, where they learned fighting, magic, healing, tracking, crafting, and many other skills that would help them survive in this new world. Several years before the defeat the of the Awakened, the Far Seas Trading Company sealed off access to the islands in the Shattered Seas, including the Isle of Refuge. Following Kerafyrm's banishment, both Qeynos and Freeport sought new pacts with the Far Seas, desiring to secure their resources for their city. Upon arrival, they discovered the isle had been magically attacked, and Malvonicus' Tower was not only shattered, but the pieces were frozen in time. Both cities believed Far Seas' Captain John Graymast to be responsible, acting on behalf of agents of the other.
Graymast was tracked to Death Weave Isle, home to the urzarach, half-spider, half-bear creatures, many of whom had gone feral and attacked. Once their trust was earned, their elder said that the traders were captured and handed over to the nearby Brokenskull pirates. Although Graymast was not located within the pirates' hideout, an artefact was found which was poisoning the minds of the urzarach, solving the mystery of the rabid urzarach.
Graymast's trail then led to the isle of South Dshinn, home of deinodon-worshipping pygmies threatened by the Allu'thoa lizardmen, and their village of Bawgava. While not entirely cooperative, the attacks by the Allu'thoa suggested the lizardmen might be responsible for Graymast's disappearance.
The island of North Dshinn, in the Phantom Sea, contained another pygmy village, along
with a Far Seas outpost. The island is divided into two main sections, the caustic Boiling Wells to the north, and Dshinn Peak to the south. While searching for missing Far Seas members, the emissaries were attacked by four-armed creatures later discovered to be Akheva, ancient beings from Luclin who served as her guardians.
To the west of North Dshinn is the island of Kithicor, the site of the legendary forest and battle. The north of the island contains the remains of Highpass, formerly connecting the forest with the Plains of Karana, now the Thundering Steppes on Antonica. The keep remains, now the headquarters of the Far Seas Trading company. Further south, below the pass, is the Teir'Dal fishing village of Ghorkhaal, which was discovered to be no mere fishing village, but the heart of the cult of the Primordial Malice, seeking to resurrect Lanys T'Vyl, daughter of Innoruuk,
slain by Firiona Vie at the Battle of Kithicor.
Keep Master Yonette Ironboard was in charge of Castle Highhold, and said Captain Greymast was there, along with his son, Dargan. After repelling an attack by the akheva, the emissaries met with Captain Greymast, who said he found his son floating among the ruins of Malvonicus' Tower, holding a book, and they were pursued by the Akheva. During the attack, Dargan was captured, and Duke Ferrin was slain.
The book found with Dargan contained Shissarian magic, and a spell of origination revealed that the artefact found among the Brokenskull was previously on Grim Shales isle. The isle contained the underground ruins of Ssraeszha Temple, where the Akheva were using Dargan in a ritual to open a portal to Luclin. The Akheva were
defeated, as were the Shissar, greatly weakened, who came through the portal, but the portal itself remained open. Using the artefact found among the Brokenskull pirates, the magic was transferred from Dargan back to the Shissarian Codex, and the portal was closed, but the shissar likely remain on Luclin, awaiting another chance to invade Norrath.
Mage Tower Mirage
Malvonicus' Tower, on the Isle of Refuge, trained refugees who arrived on the Isle of Refuge after the Shattering in the magical arts. Master Malvonicus and his student Mizan Vaeoulin resided there, along with their assistant Dreak, who taught many of the refugees how to craft items. Starting with tin bars and spikes, many of Norrath's greatest artisans started here, including the carpenter Terial, whose furniture adorns homes all over Norrath. Other mages built similar towers; two of them include Myrrin the Magnific and Sythor the All-Seeing. The tower was destroyed when a Shissar artefact unearthed by a D.I.R.T.Y. expedition activated, transferring magic from a Shissar codex into Dargan Graymast, son of Captain John Graymast, head of the Isle of Refuge for the Far Seas Trading Company. The pieces of the destroyed tower were left
suspended in time, from the chronomancy contained in the book.
Far Seas Ship's Wheel
The Far Seas Trading Company began during the Rending, formed from the union of surviving seafarers. They transport goods to every part of Norrath, serving settlements both great and small. Their headquarters is in Castle Highhold in the islands of the Phantom Sea, led by Duke Jaestan Ferrin. In addition to gathering resources, they have rescued many survivors during the Rending and the Shattering, taking many of them to their outpost on the Isle of Refuge.
Pygmy Charm Deinodon Bone Table
The pygmies of Dshinn do not often share their ways with outsiders, but did share a few of their recipes in exchange for pickles. The charm is hung in many pygmy dwellings for good luck. The pygmies make the tables from deinodon bone, which the deinodons give to them; this one is made from stone and wood.
Urzarach Cocoon
The urzarach, meaning 'spider bear', live in the village of Gorir on Death Weave Isle, in the northern part of the Tranquil Sea. This is a replica of one of their cocoons. Such cocoons are of more importance to the tribe than ever, as many of their number were recently lost, turned feral by a Shissar artefact wielded by the Brokenskull pirates. The artefact was retrieved and the pirates' hold over the urzarach was broken by emissaries from Qeynos, whom some of the urzarach called Redeemers.
Zavith'loa Hatching Egg
This egg is from Zavith'loa, the underground realm of the Allu'thoa, the lizardmen that inhabit the Shattered Seas. Growing within the eggs is a toxic fungus that the Allu'thoa sometimes feed to the deinodons, making them enraged, thus better at fighting.

"Chains of Eternity" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Duality's research suggested that a Shissar calendar held the missing pieces of the Chelsith Stone, which was thought to hold the knowledge of averting the Age's End prophecy. The Deepwater Circle believed that the spirit of Lord Rikantus Everling knew about the Chelsith stone. Firiona Vie drew forth his spirit, saying 'the keys of fate belong to the ring, and the ring belongs to the stone'. But shortly after this, the Koada'Dal princess was suddenly lifted into the air, surrounded by a bright blue light, then fell to the ground, lifeless. Curiously, the Deepwater Circle said this was not the first report of such a death. Ravinus, one of the Truespirit Elders, that spiritual energy was being drawn out of Norrath at an increasing rate, and to end this, mortals would have to travel to the Grey Wastes, Ethernere, the land of the dead.
Assembling amulets filled with remnants of spiritual pain, those whose souls were strong enough to resist the pull of Ethernere travelled there to investigate, arriving first in the Obol Plains, a reflection of Norrath's Loping Plains. In Cardin Ward, the Ethernere's reflection of Somborn Village, the steward of Drinal revealed that the Ethernere had become unbalanced, with many parts having already fallen to the Harrowing Horde, who were supposed to be Ethernere's protectors.
When Rallos Zek fell, a piece of his essence made its way to Ethernere, unbalancing the plane, and an alternate Cazic-Thule was attempting to enter Ethernere through the Fear Gate in the Eidolon Jungle, which reflects the Feerott in Norrath. Both were driven back. Also within the Fear Gate was a behemoth named Baelon, who held one of the Monoliths of Theer, part of the Shissar
calendar. Others were soon found in Wurmbone Crag, Wurmbone's End, the ancient vault of Chelsith, and the boat of the dead, Dreadcutter.
Drinal's Scythe: Replica
When the other deities withdrew from Norrath, Drinal was inadvertently raised to godhood, tying him to Ethernere, and causing him to suffer along with the plane. To prevent Obol Plains from falling to the Harrowing Horde, and making it impossible to reach Drinal, Firiona Vie assisted the townsfolk of Cardin Ward in fighting back, and in destroying the tourbillion spires created by the Horde. Through the knowledge of the lujien, werewolves of the Ethernere, the Relic of Fate was created, allowing entrance to Drinal's citadel Harrow's End. The boat Dreadcutter, anchored in Obol Plains, which ferries the souls of the dead from Ethernere to other planes, held a soul skiver, which is used to sever the soul's links with Ethernere upon reaching its final destination. It was thought it might also sever the links between Drinal
and Ethernere, freeing him from the plane's suffering. The plan worked in part, freeing Drinal long enough for him to send the stolen souls back to Norrath, including that of Firiona Vie. He revealed that he took the souls in a hunger for power, triggered by the influence of War and Fear on the plane, and, with the cleansing of the plane, swore to no longer do so.
Ancient Shissar Urn
The Shissar are large, snake-like beings who ruled Kunark and enslaved the iksar. They were mostly destroyed by the Greenmist, but teleported their temple to Luclin before the Greenmist fell. Whether they survived the Shattering is unknown, but it is rumoured they again moved their temple. This urn is of Shissar design, and due to their enslavement, hated by the iksar, who destroy Shissar artefacts in some of their rituals.
Strand of Blue Heroes' Festival Lights Strand of Gold Heroes' Festival Lights
Introduced for the fourth Heroes' Festival, these lights can be seen all over the cities of Qeynos and Freeport during the festival.
New Combine New Halas Banner
The New Combine, allied with Lord Yelinak and his Claws of Veeshan, continued the fight against Kerafyrm the Awakened and his drakota forces in Cobalt Scar. Each of the six cities in the alliance had a banner; this one represents New Halas.
Tubular Coral Pod
Within Cobalt Scar is Siren's Grotto, the domain of Queen Dulseris and her sirens. Many forms of coral grow within the grotto, including this tubular coral pod. The Grotto used to serve as a passage from Cobalt Scar to the Western Wastes, but such exits no longer exist. It is believed that the Western Wastes were destroyed in the Rending and the Shattering.
Tear of Veeshan Replica
The New Combine sent an expedition into Siren's Grotto to investigate the sirens' claims of undead within their caves. But instead of undead, the expedition found only sirens wishing to trap them. They escaped the sirens' trap, and discovered a strange artefact within the Grotto: the Tear of Veeshan. Tests revealed that it was an amplifier, increasing the power of any sort of magic. Bringing it to the Drakelands, Queen Antonia Bayle, Overlord Lucan D'Lere, New Combine Field Marshal Vishra, droag chronomancer Jorlak, and Lord Yelinak planned on using it to defeat Kerafyrm. Jorlak used the stone to summon the visage of Lendiniara, one of the ancient Keepers, when Kerafyrm and his chronomages arrived, attacking the group. Lord Yelinak fought with Kerafyrm, while the chronomages attempted to use the Tear to
draw Lendiniara forth from where and when she was hidden. Yelinak was slain, but his sacrifice allowed the chronomages to be defeated and Jorlak to send the Queen and the Overlord to safety - but Kerafyrm seized the Tear of Veeshan. During a meeting with Firiona Vie and the Duality, the Overlord slew Vishra and attempted to slay the Queen, stopped only by the intervention of the Duality. Although the New Combine was at an end, the threat of Kerafyrm was not.

"Desert of Flames" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Parts of the former continent of Antonica continued to be rediscovered after the Shattering. The first of these was the Desert of Ro, home to the dunes of the Sinking Sands, the dervish city of Maj'Dul, and the mesas of the Pillars of Flame. Now nicknamed the Silent City, the city of Akhet Aken, home to the Sul'Dal, or sand elves, and its temple to Anashti Sul, a former goddess of healing who was banished for inadvertently introducing undeath to Norrath, were discovered underneath the Sinking Sands.
Once unified by Sultan Ahkari, Maj'Dul has become a city divided by factions who seek to rule it. While the factions have agreed not to engage in outright war, fights between them are not uncommon, and a web of treachery and assassination binds the city
together.
In the Pillars of Flame, the monks of the Ashen Order, one of the oldest monk clans in Norrath, and the Ashen Disciples, a group which split from the Order preferring strength and discipline to tranquillity and wisdom, make their home, along with the naga of the Anvil of Ro, who keep the secret of gaining entrance into the Shimmering Citadel of the djinn.
Court of the Blades Tapestry Court of the Coin Tapestry Court of Truth Tapestry Court of Tears Tapestry
These tapestries represent the major factions of the dervish city of Maj'Dul. The Court of the Blades protect the city from the hostile desert creatures, particularly the orcs of Rujark. The Court of the Coin control the flow of money in the city, including merchant transactions, banking, and wagering. The Court of Truth gather and maintain the knowledge of the Dervish people, and are heavily involved in the law making associated with the Arena Games. Unlike the other three, the Court of Tears remain hidden, engaging in thievery and assassination, perhaps for one - or all - of the other courts.
Carpet of El'Khazi
This flying carpet exemplifies the style of Maj'Dul, consisting of symbols, runes, and geometric designs, unlike the portraiture common in Qeynosian and Freeportian art. This particular carpet was obtained from El'Khazi, a rug merchant in the Sinking Sands. It is rumoured that this one was purchased with the spirit of a djinn lord.
A Globe of Old Norrath
This globe depicts Norrath as it was before the Shattering. This example comes from the Tunarian Alliance, the scouts' guild in Qeynos.

"Destiny of Velious" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The power of the twin swords was meant to keep the balance in Norrath. But it now resided with 'Fyr'remd Lorak' - the disguised dragon Lord Kerafyrm - who stole it following the defeat of Roehn Theer. While his plans were still unknown, the prophecy of Age's End described the dragon and the swords, and scholars knew that Kerafyrm could not contain that amount of power indefinitely. According to the research of the Duality, the runes of the Chelsith Stone relate to the prophecy, and the last one meant that the key to preventing Age's End was to be found in Velious. A horn was found that could summon immense beasts of the Ocean Lord, Prexus, and sounding it brought the giant sea turtle Lodizal to the docks of the Sinking Sands, along with worshippers of Prexus, the otter-like othmir. Their Speaker, Nipik, was the one who
received visions of Lodizal from Prexus.
Those who were brought to Velious by Lodizal found the othmir village of Fina's Retreat in the Great Divide. South of the village is the Tower of Frozen Shadow, the cursed home of Tserrina Syl'Tor, bride-to-be of the vampire Mayong Mistmoore. Also nearby are the Snowfang gnolls. Once numerous throughout the Iceclad Ocean region, they face extinction from starvation and undead attacks. On the mainland of Velious is Thurgadin, city of the coldain, ruled by Dain Frostreaver VI, and its elaborate harbour. The dwarves of Thurgadin have fought many battles against the Kromrif and Kromzek giants who also inhabit Velious, including the Ring War and the Battle of Storm Gorge. High in the mountains is the village of the goahmari goat-men. Secluded for centuries, they have emerged seeking help against the Order of
Rime, which has recently attacked them. The former Velketor's labyrinth is now home to the Order, with its leader Kraytoc Killingfrost within. But the Rime do not control the entire labyrinth: the efreet Lord Doljonijiarnimorinar continues to rule the Forgotten Pools. In the Eastern Wastes, the forces of Kael Drakkel and Drunder have ravaged the land and the forests. Not far from the Combine spires, the camp of the Ry'Gorr orcs is filled with unrest, having been subjugated by the Kromzek, who reside in the stone city of Kael Drakkel, whence they make war on the coldain and others. The fortress of Drunder, an extension of the Plane of War, has begun to materialise in the Eastern Wastes. Within, Rallos Zek has imprisoned his three children, Sullon, Tallon, and Vallon. It appears Rallos is invading Norrath against the wishes of the other deities. Nipik's Haven is the main othmir village, trying to survive in the midst
of war brewing all around them. The Pit of the Awakened holds Sleeper's Tomb, the former prison of Kerafyrm until his inadvertent release by adventurers who slew the four elemental warders keeping Kerafyrm asleep.
Nipik's Cane
Nipik, the othmir shaman who foresaw Lodizal and the arrival of those foretold, greeted the newcomers. Having them introduce themselves to the other othmir and earn their trust, they came to Nipik's aid when Lodizal became ill. They tracked the cause to the undead in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, and, destroying the tainted statues, cured the turtle. Not long after, Nipik's great-great-grandson Osh was ambushed by the undead and captured. After Osh's rescue, Nipik conducted the ceremony whereby he passed his powers as Speaker of Lodizal to Osh, before turning into sea foam and blowing away. All that was left behind was Nipik's walking stick.
Shrine of Prexus
Built from traditional othmir components, this shrine to the Ocean Lord is also a reminder that the villages of Nipik's Haven and Fina's Retreat are connected, and that both othmir camps must remain united.
Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl
Various prayer shawls are used by the coldain, ranging from simple burlap to elaborate silk. During the reign of Dain Frostreaver IV, an outlander was able to master the techniques of crafting a silk shawl, made from the crystalline silk spun by the spiders of Velketor's Labyrinth. Once woven, the shawl was embroided with sacred coldain patterns and a velium-etched rune. Once completed, the outlander was commissioned by the Dain to create armour for the coldain in preparation for war with the Kromzek giants, and sent to recruit the gnomish pirates of the Iceclad Ocean as allies. For these efforts, the Avatar of Below appeared and blessed the shawl, granting it the power of Brell himself. The shawl was eventually lost, believed to have gone missing when its owner was killed fighting snow griffins. Following this lead, it was
discovered that the great snow griffin Stormfeather had crashed, wounded, into the goahmari village with a damaged shawl clasped in one claw. Obtaining new crystalline spider silk and the hairs of sirens, the silk and the embroidery were able to be repaired by skilled artisans. The method of creating the rune had been lost, but was revealed by Brell after prayers to him were offered in Thurgadin's temple. Once repaired, the shawl was taken to a cave near the battle site of the Ring War, where the spirits of both coldain warriors and their giant foes remained trapped, in hopes of attracting Brell's attention and freeing the spirits. Summoning the spirits to the shawl, Brell appeared and re-blessed the shawl, but informed the artisans that it was not yet the spirits' time to depart. Their help was still needed, but they would join him in the Halls of the Creator when their work was complete.

"Destiny of Velious" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Eight of the ten rings, made of various metals, were originally owned by the coldain warrior Garadain Glacierbane, and granted to those who aided the coldain. The other two were awarded by the Dain. Many of them were lost over the centuries. One copper ring was found frozen on a corpse at the site of the Ring War battle, with runes showing that it belonged to Garadain. His descendant Malidain Glacierbane, glad to have the ring returned to him, gave the second, silver ring. As did his ancestor, Malidain granted the next rings - gold, platinum, and obsidian - for additional tasks: honouring the grave of Garadain with an ancestral blanket made from the finest kodiak pelts and cougar skins, locating the body of his father, discovered to have been slain in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, and crafting the Coldain Chipper pickaxe from a
pristine rhino horn. The Chipper was used to recover the mithril ring, which was also frozen in the Ring War battlefield. An adamantium ring was held by a coldain scout who had been captured by the Order of Rime, who returned to Thurgadin with urgent news: the Rime were preparing to attack Storm Gorge. For participating in the battle and defeating the Rime cavalry, the velium ring was awarded. Hearing about the battle, the bookkeeper Marpa Coldbrow requested assistance in retrieving artefacts relating to Tserrina Syl'Tor, needed to break the curse and defeat her. These were found inside the Tower of Frozen Shadow, earning the Coldain Hero's Insignia Ring from Dain Ulrinn Frostreaver VII. But another battle awaited: the final victory of the coldain spirits of the Ring War over the Kromrif. During the battle, echoes of which were periodically re-fought, the leader of the Kromrif, Narandi the Enraged, was slain,
and the coldain cryomancers were prevented from casting their Dweomer of Ice, putting an end to the battle and allowing the coldain spirits to finally rest. For this achievement, the tenth ring, the Ring of Dain Frostreaver VI, was granted.
Snowchipper
The coldain dwarves are named for their first leader, Colin Dain, who founded the city of Froststone, and died defending it from a Kromrif attack. He refused to allow all the coldain to perish in the defense, although they would have gladly stood with him, and he selected Glight Snowchipper to lead the rest to safety. They took refuge in the Crystal Caverns, where they built a new city, with a maze of tunnels to confuse any invaders. But they were eventually discovered by Slagd Frozentoe, who returned with two hundred and fifty Kromrif warriors. Glight fought the giants with his pick, Snowchipper, but knowing they were outnumbered, used the rubble from the construction to spring a trap. Glight and a few others led the Kromrif through the tunnels, and sprung the trap, burying not only the giants but also Glight,
who stayed behind to ensure the trap worked. During preparations for a recent exhibition in Thurgadin about early dwarven expeditions to Velious, adventurers gathering various artefacts discovered that the Ry'Gorr orcs and the Kromrif were once again seeking the Crystal Caverns. Encountering the spirit of Glight Snowchipper, the adventurers cleared the orcs from the caverns, and then defeated the spirit of Slagd, preventing him from summoning his undead frost giant army. This allowed Glight and the other coldain spirits to finally rest in peace. For this help, Glight gave them his weapon, which is displayed here.
Cursed Wedding Cake
The Tower of Frozen Shadow was built by Mayong Mistmoore for his bride-to-be, the Tier'Dal enchantress Tserrina Syl'Tor. Seeking immortality, she performed a ritual, likely in Nektulos Forest, but it appeared to have no effect. Intending on turning her into a vampire to share immortality with him, Mistmoore gave her a glass of his blood. Rather than become a vampire, however, the combination of the blood and the ritual caused Tserrina to change into something else. It was then that she discovered that the Tower was meant to be not merely a home, but her prison. Enraged, Tserrina cursed the entire tower, including all the servants inside. Mistmoore had left the tower to investigate why Tserrina failed to change into a proper vampire, and, although Tserrina continued to make preparations, he failed to return on the day of their wedding,
further driving her into insanity. When he did return, seeing her condition, he called off the wedding, and ensured she would be trapped in the tower forever. Tserrina slew all within, but her love for Mistmoore caused a piece of her soul to always remain at the altar, waiting to wed him. Despite her imprisonment, she was able to kidnap Dain Frostreaver VI. A rescue party was able to undo the curse and release Tserrina, allowing her to escape and seek revenge on Mistmoore. The cake from the wedding, displayed here, is also cursed.

"Echoes of Faydwer" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Of the major pre-Shattering continents of Norrath, Faydwer was the first to be rediscovered. Thought to have been destroyed, the tree city of Kelethin was found to be home to the Fae, small, winged beings who, like the elves, were also created by Tunare. The Fae, originating in the Lesser Faydark, still inhabit that area, but the powers unleashed during the Rending sped up the growth of the plants. No longer pine forests, giant mushrooms and vines cover the region. The Camp of the Legendary Wu, a group of human monks founded by Wu the Enlightened, who befriended the Fae, is also found there. Felwithe, city of the Koada'Dal and always somewhat isolationist, became much more so after the Shattering. The elves who lived there shortened their lifespans to encourage faster population growth, and called themselves the Renda'Dal,
or New Elves, and attack any visitors on sight, even Koada'Dal. The dwarven city of Kaladim had been taken over by kobolds and bugbears, and the control of Ak'Anon, renamed Klak'anon, was lost by the gnomes to their clockwork creations, with the gnomes retreating to the Steamfont Mountains and a new headquarters they called Gnomeland Security. The cursed Loping Plains remain home to Castle Mistmoore and its vampire inhabitants, led by Mayong Mistmoore, and the Butcherblock Mountains still contain the Estate of Unrest, in which the souls of those murdered by crazed dwarf Garanel Rucksif are said to still dwell. The ghost of Rucksif himself is said to reside deep in the manor's basement.
The Tender's Growth Floret
Grown from a seed of Growth, found only in the Emerald Halls, the lair of the dragon Wuoshi, who guarded the Bloom of Growth for Tunare until he was slain by adventurers.
Crested Shield of Mistmoore
Formerly used by glyphed ghouls in Castle Mistmoore, the ghouls now roam the Loping Plains, but no longer with their shields. Investigation of the strange tattooed flesh led to Amares D'Vehnz, a vampire who sought to slay a powerful undead ghoul lord. After restoring and upgrading a Ghoulbane sword for the task, those who did so were rewarded with this shield.
Touch of Arasai
Since the Shattering, most believed that the Teir'Dal city of Neriak had been destroyed, except for the fallen gate of the Foreign Quarter. But others were convinced it survived, particularly the Thexians and spared no effort searching for it. The city finally revealed itself when the sword Soulfire was stolen from Freeport's overlord Lucan D'Lere. It is believed he allowed it to be taken to force Neriak back into the open. Still ruled by Queen Cristanos, the city had sealed itself off after the Shattering. Through torture and dark magic Queen Cristanos created the Arasai, a twisted and corrupted version of the Fae, in much the same way that Innoruuk corrupted the children of Tunare to create the Teir'Dal.
This mushroom, named for the mischievous creatures, was grown in Longshadow Alley
and can still be found in Neriak. It is used by the Teir'Dal to create very potent poisons.
DO NOT EAT.

"Fallen Dynasty" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The isle of Mara consists of two main areas: the village of Shin to the south, and the Mystic Lake to the north. The Tower of the Four Winds, the monastery of the Whistling Fists Clan, founded by Zan Fi, stands on the hills above the village. In the village itself is an outpost of the Far Seas Trading Company, which, after initial distrust, have helped to distribute the highly detailed Wantia furniture made in the village according to the traditional recipes of the Nurwin family, and many other goods produced in the village. The Mystic Lake once held the city of Tanaan, until it was destroyed when they challenged Chel'Drak, the tortoise-like guardian of the 'ungod' Zebuxoruk. Zebuxoruk was released from his long vigil when Chel'Drak was defeated by a powerful group of adventurers, heralding the return of the gods to Norrath.
A Tranquil Bonsai
Bonsai is a manner of cultivating small trees in containers to mimic the appearance of full-size trees. Done for contemplation for the viewer and for the exercise of skill and effort for the planter, the art of bonsai is popular in the village of Shin. The grower must skilfully trim the plant, grown from cuttings rather than seeds, prepare areas for new branches and graft them in, and prune the tree into the desired shape. Once completed, the tree should appear completely natural.
The Spear of Sentries
To hasten the return of Mithaniel Marr, god of Valor, the Order of Marr, led by Sir Bayden Cauldthorn, prophet of Marr, searched for pre-Shattering artefacts. The Spear of Sentries was rumoured to have been buried with a priest of Mithaniel Marr named Celsar Vestagon. He was indeed found in the Freeport graveyard, but when his rest was disturbed, he demanded proof that the would-be wielder understand Valor. A Knight of Truth, Marko Quetalis, had infiltrated the Dismal Rage, investigating that group's plan to expel the goodly Orders from Freeport, when he was discovered to be a spy and murdered. Not even his family knew that he was a Knight of Truth, until his signet ring was returned to his family, restoring his, and their, honour. Next was the requirement to cross the bridge near Lucan's Mount in the Commonlands, the only
habitat of a rare beetle, without killing any of the beetles. Following this proof that the wielder valued life, the next test was a requirement to show faith, through death - by sacrificing himself on the altar in Celsar's chamber. Dutifully doing so, and having passed the tests, body and soul were reunited, and the Spear was obtained. This replica serves as a reminder that with the return of Valor also came Fear, Hate, and War.
Sacrifical Dagger of Fear
Prophet Danak Dhorentath and those who followed Cazic-Thule, god of Fear, sought to feed the Gate of Fear, believing their god would reward them once he reappeared. The ritual dagger displayed here, along with a device called a Soul Shredder, was used to harvest souls for the Gate, which then poured out minions of Fear.
The Pool of Tranquility
This pool was awarded for the rescue of followers of Quellious, goddess of Peace and Tranquillity, when some of her followers were captured by the minions of War and held in Deathfist Citadel. Sensei Makoto Shoda, then the head of the dojo in the Elddar Grove and prophet of Quellious, organised a rescue, but as they were sworn to non-violence, it had to be done without harming any of the orcs inside the fortress.
The Gong of War
To honour Rallos Zek, god of War, his prophet Tychus Zeksworn held the usual ritual: battle. Those who would follow Rallos tested their abilities in the Arena of Zek, in Deathfist Citadel. Those who were victorious were awarded with this gong, a replica of the one in the arena used to start each round of combat.
Pick of the Underfoot
At a ceremony to awaken all the followers of Brell Serilis, god of Earth and creatures below, six chieftains of the creations of Brell, dwarves, gnomes, and Darkpaw, Skindancer, Splitpaw, and Underpaw gnolls, each believed the others were not true followers of Brell and wanted to harm them. It was determined that the person responsible for spreading the rumours and stirring up the camp had also stolen the ritual tablet used to start the ceremony. With the help of a Darkpaw Sniffer, the ratonga thief was tracked to the Blackburrow Brewery, who gave the tablet back along with a letter of apology. This magical pick was awarded for the safe return of the tablet.
The Hand of Ro
Prophet Civean Il'Pernod tested those who would follow Solusek Ro, god of fire, to strengthen them for their god's return. The test required crossing the Pit of Faith. Only the willing touch of fire would extend the bridge, requiring a sacrifice of one's flesh, and the torches had to be lit in the correct order. As a memento of their triumph, those who passed the test received a replica of the Hand of Ro, which stands at the dock of Lavastorm.
Bowl of Growth Book of Hate
Long ago, the Koada'Dal acquired half of the Scroll of H'dar, an incantation used to create a channel directly with Innoruuk, the god of Hate worshipped by the Teir'Dal. The other half was in Neriak. By capturing Felwithe, the city of the high elves, Prince Talvus Thex obtained the other half of the scroll. To stop Thex and his army, which was reinforced by the forces of Commander N'Farre and his dragoons, the Kithicor Rangers met them in battle at Cauldron Hollow. During the chaos of the battle, the half of the scroll held by Thex was lost. The fall of Cauldron Hollow warped the fabric of time, allowing both Eva Corunno'thes, high priestess of Tunare, goddess of Growth, and Xilania Nevagon, Seraph of Hate, to send adventurers back in time to attempt to obtain the scroll. Both sides were suddenly attacked and slain by
Assassins of the Arm, which was unknown to previous histories. The scroll remained lost, but both rewarded the adventurers with tokens of their respective deities: an ivy-covered bowl, providing a blessing of regeneration to followers of Tunare who drink from it, and the Book of Hate, setting forth the shadowy teachings of Innoruuk.

"Kingdom of Sky" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The reactivation of the Ulteran spire teleportation network led to the Overrealm, also known as the Plane of Sky. The restored spires allowed for two-way travel, no longer requiring visitors to leap from above and hope for the best. Many flying races live among the islands of the Overrealm, including the droag, humanoid servants of the dragons, inhabiting the dusky Tenebrous Tangle, and the aviak, eagle-like beings who make their home in the Barren Sky, land of eternal sun. The gnomish Drednever expedition, despite some setbacks, has been exploring the volcanic islands of the Bonemire, shrouded in eternal twilight, where the fates of the ancient dragons Lord Vyemm and Tarinax the Destroyer may be found.
Egg Warmer A Tiny Stuffed Magical Aviak Plushie
These egg warmers aid in the hatching of aviak eggs. After the repair of the Ulteran spires, many aviaks would fight in the arena in Maj'Dul.
Ceremonial Tapestry
This tapestry is one of several designs used by the droag Cult of the Awakened, who assist their draconic master in his plans for Norrath.
Claws of the Earth Sculpture
This sculpture represents a piece of the sky held between the 'claws of the earth', a rock formation on the Isle of the Watchers, the highest island in the Barren Sky. A story is told of a fae named Clarissa Cloudpuff, whose mother, when Clarissa was young, would tell her that no matter how bad things were, looking up at the beautiful sky would make her feel better. Ever since, Clarissa and her brother Criggle searched for a piece of the sky. But one day, Criggle started acting strange, and eventually ran off with Clarissa's journal with her notes on obtaining a piece of the sky. Sadly, Criggle's bones were found in the Barren Sky - the Criggle who was still searching for a piece of the sky was an imposter who had killed the real Criggle! Clarissa hurried to complete the ritual at the Claws of the Earth to obtain a piece of the sky, doing so, but the imposter
revealed himself and the fate of her brother before escaping. Having achieved her dream, it gave her hope that the imposter would be found someday.

"Kunark Ascending" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The third shard of the Chaos Rebirth Stone remained hidden in the Arcanna'se Spire. Queen Alwenielle, sensing that the magic hiding the spire was fading, had an imitation stone created, and sent adventurers to hide the real one within a magical censer. The switch was made, but Lanys T'Vyl discovered the plan. The Queen teleported the adventurers out, but with her magic fading, she did not know where they were teleported to. They found themselves captured by the Crusaders of Greenmist, and taken to their cave in Obulus Frontier. Helping defend the camp against sarnak Sel'Nok invaders, they were freed, and Zhazsze, a disciple of Cazic-Thule, spoke of a vision of these adventures, with Cazic-Thule requiring their service. Also captured was the shaman Setri Lur'eth, who sought to help some disturbed iksar spirits, and who
had previously been seen seeking her lost granddaughter in Nektulos Forest during the Nights of the Dead. Several arcane obelisks were discovered around the area, which appeared to cause those who leave Obulus Frontier to lose their memories of the area, but this did not affect the adventurers, even after being banished from the region by elves, ending up in Kylong Plains. The elves were from the city of Nye'Caelona, in Warslik Wood, northeast of the Crusaders' camp. Although previous elven attempts to settle on Kunark had met with defeat, one of Dominus Rile's generals told the Crusaders to allow these elves to remain, as part of their cover, since it was the elven spell keeping the Crusaders from being discovered.
The elves, the Cae'Dal, requested assistance in repairing the obelisks, as the obfuscation spell was decaying. After doing so, the
adventures returned to the Crusaders' camp, where they were asked to obtain a new weapon for Dominus Rile. The original Greenmist blade had been lost at sea, and this would confirm him as the Chosen by Cazic-Thule. Venturing into the crypt of Dalnir, the great weaponsmith of Rile Sathir, a new weapon was forged from materials found within, and it was taken to the Kunzar Jungle to be blessed by Xuurk, the Hand of Cazic-Thule, and presented to Dominus Rile, along with his phylactery, ensuring Venril no longer had it. Hearing of Venril's plan to resurrect Drusella Sathir, his wife and empress, Rile planned to attack during the ritual, knowing Venril would be vulnerable. The plan, and the battle, were successful, and Rile deposed his father Venril to become emperor of the Sebilisian Empire.
After the battle, Setri Lur'eth again asked for aid, seeking shards of Dalnir's ghosts,
sarnaks doomed to wander Warslik's Woods, so she could free them. Returning with the shards, she wondered how the adventurers could leave Obulus Frontier and return without losing their memories. Realising it was the stone hidden in the censer, keeping memories that would otherwise be lost, they mentioned it to Setri. She immediately summoned Lanys T'Vyl, who, seizing the third shard of the Chaos Rebirth Stone, opened a portal to Vaedenmoor, the realm of Despair. Confronted by Innoruuk, she destroyed the stone, releasing its power to slay her father, which allowed Setri Lur'eth - revealing herself to be Terris Thule - to ascend to Goddess of Nightmares, and resurrected Saryrn, Mistress of Torment.
Scribe's Arcane Podium
Found within the Arcanna'se Spire, this podium holds the books of the scribes, including those that contain the spells to seal or release the door.
Broken Tooth Covered Jar
In the northern part of Obulus Frontier is the goblin village of Twark, where the Bloody Tooth goblins live among iksar ruins with their tame forest slugs. Artisans who gained their trust during the events surrounding the ascension of Emperor Rile learned their crafts, including this jar in their style.
Kaesora Ritual Carving
Kaesora was an iksar citadel built during the reign of Rile Sathir and used by his vampiric general Chosooth to gather knowledge. At one time, it contained the most knowledge anywhere outside the Plane of Knowledge itself. This carving was found in the ruins, perhaps merely decorative, but perhaps connected to experiments rumoured to be conducted by General Chosooth.
Torsis Ewer
The city once known as Torsis, but now commonly called the City of Mist, was built by Lord Rak'Ashiir not long after the Shissar fell. When his wife Queen Neh'Ashiir had a secret romance with High Scale Kirn, and the two fled the city, Lord Rak'Ashiir lost faith in Cazic-Thule after he took Rak'Ashiir's daughter away. This loss of faith led to many leaving Torsis, and the city's fall, now inhabited only by undead and spirits. This ewer reflects the style of the city, once full of trade and a base for the army, and richly decorated with the finest Kunark limestone, marble, and tapestries.
Cae'dal Bowl
This bowl displays the style of the elves of Nye'Caelona, the elven city in Warslik's Wood. The Cae'Dal originally lived in the Elddar Forest until they noticed it was slowly dying, and migrated to another forested land where they founded the colony of Khalee'Sri. That forest also became a desert, but they saw it as a lesson from Tunare, that the desert, no less than the forest, is teeming with life and with Growth.
Ancient Desert Urn
During the Nights of the Dead, magical pumpkins were created that, when thrown, could be pulped by others for treats. More recently, the spirits began granting gifts to the thrower, as well. One such gift was this urn, in the style of Maj'Dul, where the holiday began. It was rumoured that the spirits would grant a bat which would serve any adventurer as a mount. So many urns were obtained by people looking for the mount that they were sold for a few copper pieces each, and entire houses were built from them. It remains unknown if the bat actually exists, or if it was simply a trick by the spirits.

"Planes of Prophecy" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
As creations of Druzzil Ro, magic is intrinsic to the Yrzu. They are able to feel it flowing through them, to shape and direct it, giving them a sense of connection to their world.
Khali'Yrzu Crate of Crystals
The Yrzu use their magic to shape the rocks of the Plane of Magic, and gather many types of crystals from the plane to use for various purposes. The brighter ones are metetherial crystals, pure essences of the plane's magic, and the darker ones are from the Aetherscar, which was created by an unnatural magical eruption.
Khali'Vahla Arcanum Orb
The Vahla are one of the two houses of Allyrians, the creations of Druzzil Ro. They practise Effect magic, such as persuasion and illusion, augmenting the world as it exists in one's mind and senses. They view the Affect magic practised by the Yrzu as brutal, forcing its will upon others. They use orbs such as this one to store arcanum, the energy of the Plane of Magic.
Khali'Vahla Chest
This chest is of the Vahla style, reflecting their city and their Effect magic, distinct from the Yrzu's Affect magic.
Starfire Crystal
The Pride Pakiat sphinxes of the Pakiat Bluffs are not native to the Plane of Magic, possibly having been summoned as part of some plan that failed. These crystals are found throughout the Pakiat Bluffs, used in many magical sources, having the ability to allow magic to flow and be directed, and as a source that can be harvested or consumed.
Arcane Remnant Seal Powered Etherium Pad
These arches and pads allow for teleportation across the Plane of Magic, built from etherium, an ore common to the plane. Their magic is such that they require visiting once before use, but can then be used to access any other pad which has previously been visited.
Chrono Gate
This is a model of the gate opened by Lanys T'Vyl in the Molten Throne, destroyed with her in the detonation of the Dresolik crystal.

"Planes of Prophecy" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Students of magic, even the most promising mages, in both the Concordium and the Academy of Arcane Science began to have difficulty with their magical lessons. But more experienced practitioners felt that their magic was more empowered. Consulting the dragon Lendiniara, it was learned that these strange sensations indicated that a greater power was awakening. An ancient tome, half from Kaesora and half from Silent City, described a ritual to release the magic that was filling up the world. T'dylis, a researcher who had been working with the Concordium and Academy, performed it at the Combine Spire in the Greater Faydark, and received a message from an unknown voice thanking him for 'turning the key'.
The 'key' unlocked a new destination on the spire network: the Plane of Magic, the realm
of Druzzil Ro, goddess of Magic. Those who had worked with T'dylis travelled to the plane, where three factions resided. While not at war with each other, relations between them were tense, with a possibility of open conflict erupting at any time. Two of them were Allyrians, creations of Druzzil Ro, split into the Yrzu and Vahla houses in a long-ago schism, and residing on floating platforms on either side of the Fount of Arcanum. The third was a tribe of sphinxes, Pride Pakiat, who lived to the east in the desert and mesas of the Pakiat Bluffs, with their aluxob servants. The four arcane seals around the Fount had been shattered by Druzzil Ro herself, enabling new arts of ascension, Elementalism, Etherealism, Geomancy, and Thaumaturgy, to enter Norrath, and to draw those who had mastered their power to the plane, as Lanys T'Vyl and her Tenets of Hate, Terris Thule and Saryrn, threatened the planes of the gods as well as Norrath.
In the Coliseum of Valor, Mithaniel Marr welcomed those who would aid Druzzil against Lanys. The Hounds of War had been asked to join Lanys, but only Sullon Zek was convinced to do so. No other gods sided with the Tenets of Hate as of yet, but Bertoxxulous was believed to be the next target. The portal to the Plane of Disease was closed, but Meldrath, the gnome who had developed machines and magicks to open planar portals, was in the Plane of Innovation. That plane had never severed its ties with Norrath, allowing Druzzil to open a portal to it.
The clockworks in the Plane of Innovation led the visitors to Meldrath, who had been split into two. Meldrath the Marvelous had escaped from his brother, Meldrath the Malignant, and his experiments of forcing his consciousness into clockworks. Using
this to escape his brother, Meldrath the Marvelous did what he could to shield the visitors from his brother while they searched for parts to an Enigmatic Portal Opening Device, or EPOD. Protecting them as they were confronted by Meldrath the Malignant, and then by the Great Gear, an emerging consciousness of the plane itself, showing the very spirit of Innovation, the device was assembled and a portal to the Plane of Disease opened within the Coliseum.
Within the Plane of Disease, the Springview Healers, the followers of the Plaguebringer, sought to stop the visitors. With the help of masks found on the healers, and then blessed by Druzzil, they made their way through the plague-ridden plane to the Crypt of Decay disguised as puslings, where Lanys was indeed attempting to recruit Bertoxxulous. She took some object from the
air, which appeared to be her true goal, as Bertoxxulous appeared to only be humouring her.
Although other gods agreed on the need to confront Lanys, they disagreed on allowing mortals to enter their planes. Some, like Quellious and Karana, were in favour, but others refused, particularly Solusek Ro, who resolved to incinerate any mortal entering his Plane of Fire. Karana was not responding to Mithaniel's summons, however, so an expedition was sent to the Plane of Storms. It found that the Primordial Malice had attacked, and Karana's Staff of the Rainkeeper had been broken, causing him to lose control over the plane. Obtaining elements from each of the plane's towers, the staff was remade. Karana, confronted by Agnarr, who had imprisoned Karana and to whom Lanys promised the Plane of Storms, transported himself and the visitors back to
the Coliseum, leaving Agnarr to be dealt with later, recognising his throne was nothing if Norrath and the planes fell to Lanys.
Druzzil believed Lanys was attempting to reach the Plane of Time. Centuries ago, she had rewoven the threads of time, which saved all of existence, but split the weave of time in two: two Norraths, two Planes of Disease, two Planes of Magic, and so on. Now Lanys was trying to obtain objects in the other reality to make them exist in this one, to re-establish a connection to the Plane of Time. A mortal enchantress from the other timeline was summoned, who built a device which she called paradoxulars, allowing one to see items from another timeline. The next item was the Globe of Dancing Flame, held by Solusek Ro in his Molten Throne. Travelling through the Tower of Solusek Ro, they were stopped by
Solusek, furious that mortals were present in his plane. He had already fought off Lanys and her army, but prevented from advancing further, Lanys was one item closer to her goal. She had taken a large crystal, not the Globe of Dancing Flame, but perhaps this was to replace the Globe. The next item was the Sphere of Coalesced Water, in the Plane of Water, within the Brackish Vaults. Mithaniel Marr transported the visitors there, who fought their way through the vault and obtained the sphere ahead of Lanys.
The good news, however, soon gave way to bad. Morell-Thule, brother of Terris-Thule, had learned from his sister, whom he had convinced to abandon Lanys, that the crystal wasn't a replacement for the Globe of Burning Flame, but the Dresolik. During the Age of Turmoil, Solusek Ro, allied with Rallos Zek, channeled and amplified
elemental power into a gem kept at the top of his tower on Dresolik Mountain. They planned to use it to annihilate Norrath, but the machine was destroyed by a band of mortals. While the crystal was detonated here - likely destroying Luclin - it remained in the other reality, until Lanys seized it, and began to construct a time gate in the Molten Throne and charge the Dresolik with the plane's energy. With the aid of Druzzil Ro, Quellius, Mithaniel Marr, who held back Sullon Zek, the mortals fought the Tenets' minions, moving towards the Dresolik. They set it to detonate, but Druzzil, Solusek, and Fennin Ro, who had just been freed by Morris-Thule, shielded them from the crystal's blast, trapping Lanys with it, destroying her.

"Rise of Kunark" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The second continent to be rediscovered after the Shattering, Kunark is home to the reptilian races of Norrath, the iksar and sarnak. Led by Dominus Rile, the iksar dwell in their city of Sebilis, deep inside the Kunzar Jungle. Originally built by Venril Sathir and destroyed by Trakanon, the city has been rebuilt. The sarnak city of Chardok is in the Kylong Plains, where a neutral city home to many races, Teren's Grasp, has been established at the site of the old Combine spires. While Karnor's Castle used to be a desert fortress, the trees now have relentlessly made their way to it. At Kunzar's Edge, near the remains of the elven city of Firiona Vie, the inhabitants defend their outpost against the attacks of the Gra'al Shul iksar.
Another sarnak city, Gorowyn, was
established 60 years ago on the islands of the Timorous Deep: Chrykori, Gorowyn, and Mok. The militaristic sarnak continue to fight the Haoaeran spirocs on the isles, and, more recently, Blackshield pirates. Gorowyn has a reputation for tolerance, and unlike elsewhere, those who are not citizens of it or its allies are not attacked on sight.
Much of the Fens of Nathsar are divided between the iksar of Riliss, bastion of the Sathirian Empire, and the sarnak of Bathezid's Watch, which, so far, has been able to stand against the Sathirian Empire. The human and elven outpost of Omen's Call sits on the coast, a starting point for those who seek the ruins of the iksar resort of Veksar, thought lost to the waters of the Lake of Ill Omen, but once again rediscovered. To the north rises Kurn's Tower, surrounded by the caves of the burynai.
In the Jarsath Wastes, the iksar city of Charasis, in the Overthere, is home to the mightiest of the iksar, the Kunzar, and was the birthplace of Venril Sathir, who united the iksar. They also inhabit the docks of the Danak outpost, operating a shipyard. The dragons' lair of Veeshan's Peak lies in the Skyfire Mountains. Many adventurers have travelled inside to try their skills against the draconic inhabitants. Some have made it back out.
Mounted Fish
The battle between the sarnak fisherman Niba'Ouz and Vethka the Gorger could only end one way: with Vethka mounted on Niba'Ouz's wall. In gratitude for their assistance, he presented the saltfin he caught to those who helped him.
Statue of a Di'Zok Warrior Statue of a Sathirian Warrior
Both the Di'Zok of Bathezid's Watch and the Sathirians of Riliss have numerous blueprints and recipes, but will only share them with those who have earned their trust. These statues depict a warrior of each group, and have been imbued with magic boosting the skill of any artisan.
Mounted Celestial Mallet
During a blight spreading across Norrath, Seeress Ealaynya Ithis was elevated to prophet of Rodcet Nife, the Prime Healer. Aided by items of healing provided by Rodcet Nife himself, the Seeress sent adventures across Norrath to cure those afflicted by the blight. Agents of Bertoxxulous, god of Disease, were discovered spreading the plague, but visions granted to the Seeress revealed their locations, and the items and visions from Rodcet Nife were able to put an end to both the plague and those spreading it. This Celestial Mallet, crafted by the Celestial Watch and blessed by the Seeress, was granted to those who aided in the healing.
Temple of Life
The Celestial Watch, the priests' guild of Qeynos, is based in the Temple of Life. While they honour all the good gods, the Temple itself is based on the design favoured by Rodcet Nife, god of Healing. This model was found in a chest in the Down Below, opened by a key which had been swallowed by one of the koalindl fish that swim in the water around the Temple. The design reminds us that, 'No matter how far we travel nor how dark the days may seem, the light of this temple burns bright. Let it guide and strengthen you, and you, in turn, will become a beacon for others in their time of need.'
Decorative Runed Battleaxe
Although currently inhabited by kobolds and bugbears, from time to time dwarves travel to Kaladim to ensure that the dwarven knowledge left behind is not lost. One such dwarf, Braxley, was researching the various axes used by the Kaladim dwarves. He shared his research with those brave enough to sneak into the city to gather information for him. This battleaxe is an example of the Kaladim style.
Succulent Plushie
These walking, eyed cacti are common in the Jarsath Wastes. Poking one causes it to release pollen, which is a component in certain spells.

"Rum Cellar" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Brokenskull pirates, after repeated attacks on the Far Seas Trading Company, was running low on rum. With some of the pirates calling this the 'rumpocalypse', claiming the most dangerous thing in the world is a sober pirate, they invaded the Far Seas Distillery in the Phantom Sea. Initially successful at taking over the facility, the Far Seas, with some outside help, fought back, eventually pushing the pirates out.
Nibbles
The parrot of Charandra, the Brokenskull shaman who led the attack on the Far Seas Distillery. During the attack, the bird is reported to have shouted orders to help the pirates navigate the caves and buildings. Not fond of all of the pirates, those who Nibbles almost led to their deaths took revenge on Nibbles, killing him - at least until he could be reanimated by Charandra.
Or so it was thought. Nibbles was actually Baz the Illusionist, who, following Charandra's defeat, revealed himself, ending the charades of the Brokenskull pirates in the rum cellar when he was also defeated.
Damaged Tunarbos Replica
Disturbances had been reported within the Faydark, of figures cloaked in hate and malice corrupting the strength of Growth. They were discovered to be cultists of the Primordial Malice, and there were further reports of disturbances in Antonica, the Enchanted Lands, and Everfrost. Tunarbos, the World Tree, in Everfrost, had been split open, and the cultists had bones of sentient creatures which they pierce themselves with, including their eye sockets. This allowed a spell to show what the bones witnessed: Villandre V'Zher, daughter of Lanys T'Vyl, sacrificed herself so that her mother could rise within her daughter's body.
Not long after, there were additional reports of disturbances, this time of elementals. Clockworks were found among the undergolems, and when parts were fit
together, they had a message asking for help from Moradhim and Klick'Anon to fend off an attack from 'aberrants'. Both cities mentioned were likely destroyed in the Rending, but this suggested that the city under attack was in Subtunaria or the Underfoot, and Serilian.

"Sentinel's Fate" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The repair of the Ulteran spire network made it possible to travel to Odus, torn from Norrath and shifted into Ultera. During his attempt to take control of the city of Erudin, El'Arad built a new Nexus based on the Luclin Nexus in Toxxulia Forest. Unknown to him, the gods had blocked travel through Luclin, and the energy was discharged back into the new Nexus, causing the entire continent to shift. During the chaos, El'Arad revealed that he was working with the Void and Roehn Theer, and his shadowed allies appeared in the city.
The Stonebrunt Highlands contain the remains of Erudin, along with the village of Moonfield Hamlet and the ruins of Quel'ule. The great wall in Quel'ule once divided the Erudites of Erudin, who worshipped Quellious, from the Heretics of Paineel, who
worshipped Cazic-Thule. All that now remains of the wall is the gate. In the Sundered Frontier, the city of Paineel sits above the ruins of old Paineel, commonly called simply the Hole. Digging too deep and reaching the Plane of Underfoot, elementals and minions of Brell Serilis swept through the city, forcing the Heretics to retreat to the current location of the city. The various factions of invaders still retain control over the Hole.
Further investigation into the kidnapping of Overlord Lucan D'Lere learned that he was being held captive by Roehn Theer in Erudin Palace. With the help of a strange figure named Fyr'remd Lorak, the investigation led to Anashti Sul herself, who had once allied herself with Theer to enable her to escape the Void. She said that Theer's power to slay even the gods has caused the deities to again retreat from Norrath to find a
way to defeat him. Using a binding thread obtained from the lich Perah'Celsis, mortal adventurers defeated Roehn Theer and rescued the Overlord from his captivity. With his defeat, the Void invasion of Norrath was at an end. But Lorak then appeared, and performed a rite which drained the swords Enoxus and Aeteok, the Qeynos Claymore and Soulfire, of their power, and then vanished.
Kejek Totem Pole
The kerra, originally from the city of Kejek in the Stonebrunt Mountains, now reside only on Kerra Isle, having been pushed out of the Stonebrunt Highlands by the erudites. This totem pole exemplifies their craftsmanship. Making a variety of goods, but primarily clothing and potions of various types, the kerra share their recipes once their visitors prove trustworthy.
Hua Mein Totem
Hidden from outsiders, the panda-like Hua Mein withdrew after Odus was lifted into Ultera. The war between the Hua Mein and the Erudites resulted in few Hua Mein surviving. Changed by the storm, they claim their namesake Hua Mei as their saviour, who taught them three things: nothing is lost and all things return, nothing shall remain constant, and cause and effect. She taught them to coexist with the land, and those who do good will have good things happen, and those who do bad will have bad things happen. This totem is made from bamboo, which the Hua Mein not only eat but use in building many things.
Laboratory Research Flask
With the Ulteran spires again active, researchers and artisans have returned to Quel'ule to study the site. Primarily scholars, this flask is an example of the equipment used in their research.
Truth of Marr
The paladin entrusted with Valeron Dushire's Testimony, a holy relic of the Order of Marr, by a knight captured in the former home of the Order, Freeport, was the one prophesied to return 'that which was lost' and would go on to slay mighty evils. After freeing frogloks enslaved by Sebilis, the paladin was told by a spirit to seek the Truth of Marr, to 'balance the power, carry out justice and bring peace to the innocent'. Informed by the scholar Izzal Din that the Truths of Marr, tablets of living metal, were lost in a battle against in the Sphere of Malevolance, a demi-plane of Fear, the paladin learned that the iksar in the Kunzar Jungle were worshipping Cazic-Thule with an item of malevolence. Told by a servant that the Sword of Malevolence was inside the Tabernacle of Pain and used in the Rites of Challenge, the paladin entered, defeated
the Tabernacle's grandmasters, and claimed the sword, which revealed itself to be the Truth of Marr. The tablets had reformed themselves into the sword, but were corrupted by the influence of the Sphere. Realising that an ancient Marrsian text was about the sword, not the tablets, the paladin learned to 'Cure the irascibility of the item once gallant with Rings of Contrition! Wield the sword of truth, and others will yield.' Defeating the holders of the three rings: the golem Imzok's Revenge, who had the Ring of Valor, the drachnid Tairiza the Widow Mistress, who had the Ring of Mercy, and the dragon Hoshkar, deep in Veeshan's Peak, who had the Ring of Generosity, the paladin cleansed the weapon, restoring the Truth of Marr to its full power.
Later, based on the research of Sa'ib Waseem, a member of Paineel's Hall of Wizardry, a spell was created which could transfer the
powers of a weapon directly to a person, permitting their use even without the weapon. Gathering the potent and dangerous items needed for the spell, Waseem successfully performed the ritual. The enervated weapon is displayed here.
A Vigilant Captain's Chair Fresh Fruit Assortment Authentic Cooking Pot from the Vigilant
The Sentinel was an airship originally built by the Erudin Erudites and used to haul large amounts of cargo overland. When the Void intruded into Odus, it was abandoned. The Paineel Erudites claimed the airship and re-worked it for their own purposes. It then became known as the Vigilant, as it watched over and protected the city. When the Tallonites attacked the Vigilant and captured the crew, a rescue attempt was made which successfully freed the crew but was unable to fully defeat the invaders. The decision was then made to destroy the airship rather than let the Tallonites use it. The captain's chair, fruit plate, and cooking pot are some of the items which survive the Vigilant's final destruction.

"Sentinel's Fate" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
After being freed from his grief in the Shard of Love, Mithaniel Marr searched Norrath for a place to build New Halas, to replace the city destroyed in the Rending. Finding an island in the Frostfang Sea, later named Erollis, he convinced the coldain dwarves who lived on the island to allow the building of the city. In the centre of the town is a statue of his sister, Erollisi Marr. After the city's establishment, many followers of Mithaniel Marr, particularly barbarians and frogloks, migrated to the city.
When ships travelling to New Halas were attacked by snow orcs, much like the passengers of the Far Journey who were brought to the Isle of Refuge, the survivors of the orc attacks were tended to at Pilgrim's Landing, a chunk of ice and rock upon which the New Halasians had built a camp.
This table was made from the wreckage of one of the ships.
Coldain Anvil
This anvil, made in New Halas, is of coldain design. The coldain are known for their skill at smithing, particularly with velium.
White Granite Druid Ring
Kurista, a fae servant of Tunare, sought to restore the druid rings found in various locations around Norrath: Nektulos Forest, the Enchanted Lands, Zek, the Feerrott, the Sinking Sands, Loping Plains, the Jarsath Wastes, and the Stonebrunt Highlands. Seeking help with her plan, many adventurers aided in the effort, guarding the rings from the drakota and other enemies of Growth, gathering living stones delivered from the Plane of Growth by Karana, and crafting Eldritch materials to repair the rings, allowing Kurista to perform the Rite of Renewal at each site. Once the rituals were completed, the newly-restored druid rings could be used for teleportation, adding their locations to the rings in Antonica, Butcherblock Mountains, the Commonlands, Darklight Wood, Greater Faydark, Kunzar Jungle, Kylong Plains, the Moors of Ykesha,
and the Steamfont Mountains.
This is a model of the druid ring in the Enchanted Lands, made of white granite.
Chipped Freeport Celebration Cup Chipped Qeynos Celebration Cup
To celebrate the five-year anniversary of the Isle of Refuge, which trained many heroes for Qeynos and Freeport after the Shattering, the restoration of Qeynos and Freeport, and the innumerable accomplishments made in rebuilding Norrath, rediscovering old lands, and defeating evils, Queen Antonia Bayle of Qeynos and Overlord Lucan D'Lere of Freeport held a Heroes' Festival in the two cities, and spoke to their people. These cups were made for the event.
'Good citizens of Qeynos, I come before you today in honour of our city and all of our accomplishments. It has been five years since our light guided the first refugee to the welcoming shores of our island colony. During this time you have risen to every challenge Surviving the multitude
of threats, both natural and unnatural orchestrated by neighbouring kingdoms, delusional zealots and misguided entities, alike. You have kept our city of valour safe with the sweat of your brow and the blood of your veins. It is your sacrifice and accomplishment that we honour today, within this paradise without equal!'
--Queen Antonia Bayle
'Gather around, my subjects. Heed my words and draw strength from the word of D'Lere! It has been five years since my island outpost began taking on refugees from the calming seas. During this time you have been kept secure within these walls - safe against the multitude of threats, plots and deceptions perpetrated by neighbouring kingdoms, delusional zealots and meddling entities. Rejoice in this! Take this moment to recall where you have been and
acknowledge what could have been. Destiny is not done with us yet! Five years it has been since that day, but we have a great many more ahead!'
--Overlord Lucan D'Lere

"Tears of Veeshan" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
With Lord Yelinak dead, returning to the Ethernere was the next step. The dragons' land in the Ethernere, called the Vesspyr Isles, reflects the Norrathian land they revere, the Overrealm. In the Vesspyr Isles, Lord Yelinak said that although he took up the cause of leading the Claws of Veeshan, the best choice would have been Lendiniara. It was then discovered that Kerafyrm had breached the veil into the Ethernere, and moved the Temple of Veeshan there. An attempt was made to locate her through the Nexus Core, similar to the Nexus in Odus, but upon activation, the heart of the Nexus shattered. Lord Yelinak suggested finding someone with the knowledge to repair the Heart, but Drinal's Steward refused to allow any more mortals to enter the Ethernere. But he did allow a bargain to be made, as Drinal often does. The holes in the veil go both
ways, and goblin spirits had escaped into High Keep. Capture and return them, or face the immediate judgment of Drinal. The spirits were successfully captured, but Drinal's Steward did not allow further travel into the Ethernere. Only those areas which were already accessed could be revisited. Fortunately, an erudite named Zal'Urid was in Cardin Ward, and agreed to try to fix the Nexus. He said it had a protection trap, which triggered when it was used by someone not authorised. The pieces of the Heart were scattered around Vesspyr Isles, but eventually retrieved. Zal'Urid repaired the Heart, and it was used to contact Lendiniara. She, noting that this was a Nexus of time, not just space, and that it was powered by the Tears of Veeshan, used the Tears to empower those who had entered, to enable them to destroy the Tears. With the amplified power, two of the three were destroyed, but Kerafyrm's General Raklish
had already seized the third. After the battle, where the power of the Nexus was used against him, Raklish was defeated.
The prophecy, however, was not yet averted. To complete the Shissar calendar, the final monolith of Theer was obtained from Mayong Mistmoore. The Shissar had recorded that when all sixteen events depicted on the calendar had occurred, the centre event would then occur. While the symbols detail the end of creation, they also show how it can be averted. The Duality concluded that the Nameless would destroy his creations who failed to interpret the message, and then build again in a new cycle. New runes then appeared on the calendar, representing the Awakened, the Swords of Destiny, Bayle, and D'Lere, among others. Although the swords had been drained by Kerafyrm, they were not completely inert, having been used to slay
Rallos Zek. At the location of the fall of Lord Yelinak, Lendiniara returned, bringing Firiona Vie's staff, Lifeguide, which had been lost during the events when the Overlord slew Field Marshal Vishra. Although glad to have it back, she detected that someone with malice had used it. Jorlak, Firiona Vie, Lendiniaria, Queen Antonia Bayle, Overlord Lucan D'Lere, and those who had destroyed the Tears and retrieved the monolith assembled at Skyshrine Tower for the final battle - along with Roehn Theer, to whom Jorlak had returned the swords.
High Keep Ornate Chest
The fortress of High Keep was once the centre of an empire which ruled much of central Antonica. It was reduced to the area of Highpass Hold from attacks by orcs and gnolls. Now, High Keep has fallen to the Pickclaw goblins, led by a dwarf who claimed to be Bolgin Serilis, who had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the keep. This chest shows the style of the furnishings of the keep, which, prior to the Shattering, had been a stopping point for travellers, a resort including a casino.
Bixie Lamp
Adventurers who travelled to an alternate version of Guk, where bixies now ruled, and two queens fought for control of the hive, brought back this lamp. It appears that it may have been grown, rather than manufactured.
Dark Ethernere Crystal Charged Ethernere Crystal
These crystals, charged with energy from the Ethernere, are used as lighting.
Temple Necrovat
This vat was found hanging from the ceiling in the Laboratory of Mutation in the Temple of Veeshan, containing unknown fluids used in the dragons' necromantic experiments.
A Tiny Mischievious Castle
Found deep within the Temple of Veeshan, it is rumoured that this tiny castle is the entrance to Bristlebane's Plane of Mischief.
Vibrant Banner of Antonia
This banner depicts Queen Antonia Bayle of Qeynos, and was created for the annual Heroes' Festival celebration.
Zlandicar's Tortured Heart
Dorondal, a loremaster in Thurgadin, sent adventurers out to retrieve Jaled Dar's key, promising Zlandicar's Heart to whoever found it. Unknown to him, and to the monk Khrolan, who retrieved the key, the Awakened were also seeking the Heart. Khrolan was tracked to the Laboratory of Mutation inside the Temple of Veeshan, where his body was found, but he managed to hide the Heart before he died. His spirit was located in the Ethernere, but had lost its memories from the experience of his death. The adventurers found them among the Horde, and restored them to Khrolan, who revealed the hiding place of the Heart. Fighting their way through the aerakyn in the Forsaken City on the isle of Mara, they located the Heart, retrieving it before the Awakened could get it, although they could still scry on it, as it remained linked to the
undead Zlandicar. By venturing into the Temple of Veeshan, destroying the altar the aerakyn were using for scrying, feeding the Heart with true draconic essences, and slaying Zlandicar, the link between him and his Heart was finally broken.
Moonlit Mushroom Ring
A replica of the mushroom ring and portal that appears in various areas of Norrath once a month, taking those who enter to hidden grottos inhabited by nature spirits. Those who help them are rewarded with crystals, minerals, plants, and other natural items.

"Terrors of Thalumbra" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
The Jaggedpine Forest, once a lush woodland, was turned into Zek, the Orcish Wastes, by the Deathfist orcs, stripping the land above of its trees, and digging mines below. The lands which remained untouched were guarded by the elven Green Hoods, who eventually assassinated Emperor Fyst in his Deathfist Citadel. Emperor Blacktusk next claimed the crown, and attacked the Green Hoods, almost wiping them out. But what came next was worse: two of the new gods of War, Tallon Zek, the god of Strategy, and Vallon Zek, the god of Tactics, raised up a new kind of orc as Sanctifier of War, to lead their orcish army from the Plane of War. These were the Scourge orcs, from the Fortress of Drunder.
This helmet was retrieved from Scourge Keep, the former Deathfist Citadel, from a chapel dedicated to Tallon Zek.

"Terrors of Thalumbra" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Many responded to the distress call of the undergolems and clockworks, perhaps threatened by Lanys T'Vyl and her Primordial Malice. Tinkered portal-gates were set up in Kelethin, Neriak, and Shin. Those who went through arrived in the region of Thalumbra, the Ever Deep, with the city of Maldura to the south, inhabited by deep dwarves and gnomes. Maldura was indeed the city who sent out the call for help, being under siege by Aberrants. Undead, immolated wights, had made it into the city, requiring several areas to be sealed off. Inside one of them, the Alcove of Reason, was a group called the the Dark Gears and their leader Black Bolt, who was somehow involved with the immolated. Both rulers of Maldura, gnemlin Grand Artificer Tobon Blingden and dhalgar Queen Alwenielle, ordered searches of the Stonebrunt Yards in
Thalumbra, which located several Primordial Malice cultists, showing a link between them and the Aberrant. But it was also learned that Queen Alwenielle permitted Black Bolt to create the immolated, as a last stand - or, rather, vengeance - against the Aberrant, as they were to only be released if nobody were left in Maldura. This was reported to Kelethin's Queen Amree, who suggested finding Queen Alwenielle's sister Lafenielle, who left her after a battle long ago. Refusing to lose another, the Queen ordered the immolated to be created. The search for Lafenielle led to the Luminous Peaks, home to the glaufaye and their village of Zou'Lidelas. A glaufaye named Lamari said that no dhalgar had ever resided in Zou'Lidelas, but there was a glaufaye named Lafenielle. Suspecting the Queen to either be under the influence of ancient magic, or not who she claimed to be, Lamari used an illusion trituration crystal to
reveal the Queen to be a glaufaye, and her guards as Primordial Malice cultists. Unmasked, the guards attacked. They were defeated, and while the Queen was unharmed, the Grand Artificer was killed.
The Queen, her memories restored with her true form, then told the story of how she ended up in Maldura. The glaufaye had been charged to be guardians of invaluable knowledge, knowledge that could bring justice to heavy sentences carried out in the name of Balance. Knowing that this knowledge could be lost if they were slain, she created a gem, the Chaos Rebirth Stone, that contained this knowledge and split it into three. One was placed in the Arcanna'se Spire, and she went into exile with the other two, taking the form of a dhalgar. She should have been released from the spell approximately every seven hundred years, but the duration was linked with the moons.
The destruction and reformation of Luclin affected it, giving the spell an even greater hold on her. The second shard of the stone was part of a jewelled screwdriver owned by the Grand Artificer - taken from him by the Primordial Malice when he was killed.
Meanwhile, Brytthel, one of the Queen's guard who had been injured and rescued by artisans sent by Captain Ethan from the village of Shin, and who was not replaced by the Primordial Malice, suggested that the glaufaye might know of a way to hide the stones. The glaufaye Elanluelle said that the glaufaye were servants of a goddess of magic, Zou Kunnen, who had been destroyed by Roehn Theer long ago, but before she was slain, gave the glaufaye immortality and placed them in a shard of her plane, which eventually ended up in the Luminous Peaks. Believing that a god is not truly dead until forgotten, they keep Zou
Kunnen's memory, and those of three other gods, Aniquilacion, Paixao, and Pingyuan Diqu, and placed the memories into the shards. The dhalgar once created metalwork that could enhance a stone's power, so the reverse should also be possible. Consulting the library in Maldura, the artisans drew up plans for a censer made from rare metal and imbued with the same magic as the stones, to hide what was inside. Shaped at the Forge of Brell in Maldura and imbued by the glaufaye magic of Zou Kunnen, the censer was made.
The Aberrant siege had been a diversion, to allow the Primordial Malice to enter the city to steal the shards of the Chaos Rebirth Stone. The Exceptional Screwdriver was recovered from Kralet Penumbra, a maze filled with Aberrants, but the shard had already been removed. Upon the adventurers' return, Queen Alwenielle was under attack by Tserrina Syl'Tor and
Primordial Malice cultists. While the Queen was saved, Tserrina stole the royal crown, giving Lanys possession of two of the three shards. The artisans arrived in the throne room with the newly-crafted censer, just moments late.
The third shard remained hidden in the Arcanna'se Spire.
Map of Old Tunaria
Tunaria was the elven name for the continent that Antonius Bayle later renamed Antonica. The elves lived in the Elddar Forest in the eastern part of Tunaria, before Solusek Ro forced them from their homes and they fled to Faydwer, and the Elddar Forest became the Desert of Ro. Moradhim was a dwarven mine just north of the Plains of Karana, and they had a trade route to Kaladim. The largest city on the route was Maldura.
Violet Fathomlurker Plushie
Fathomlurkers live in the caves of Thalumbra, rarely seen in open areas. They have poor eyesight, relying instead on echolocation, and fine bristles on the upper body can detect the slightest motion. In emergencies, the fathomlurker can expel inky smoke, allowing it to escape. The ten tentacles have bony claws on the ends which dig into prey, and powerful sinews make it very difficult for the prey to escape. Most are approximately the size of an ogre, but travellers have reported some which have grown to a much larger size. These reports are difficult to confirm, as few have volunteered to investigate and trap fathomlurkers for research.
Dhalgar Mining Pick
This mining pick is used by the dhalgar of Maldura. The golden colour is common in their tools, as well as in equipment made by both them and the gnemlin, including crafting stations.
Curved Lifeleaf Tree
Lifeleaf trees grow in the Luminous Peaks, home to the glaufaye, who live in Zou'Lidelas, their city among the trees.

"The Bloodline Chronicles" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Behind a waterfall in Nektulos Forest lay a new threat: vampires. Discovered by the Hand of Marr, an investigation into missing scouts initially uncovered grinnins, but the grinnin cavern was only the first room of a much larger cave system. The deeper caverns held innumerable vampires, led by Dryxl T'Rath, in search of bloodstone crystals. Once T'Rath was slain, however, it was revealed that the danger went far deeper. Further investigations into the caves and the discovery of the vampires' symbols showed several sects to be present. Adventurers using their amulets and a piece from their dark altar were able to disguise themselves as vampires and defeat another vampire leader, in the process discovering many techniques useful for fighting the undead creatures.
Bloodstone Shards
Found in the vampire caves in Nektulos Forest, it has been said that the bearer of such stones will be granted the strength of heroes lost. Beware, however, a remour is stirring through Freeport. It is being said that these lost adventurers were taken into the shadows and these stones represent their terror. To those who choose to carry the power in the stones comes a great curse. You don't believe in curses, right?

"The Shadow Odyssey" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Following the eruption of void storms all over Norrath, members of the Academy of Arcane Science and the Concordium were sent to investigate. Although the Aab'I Hayat failed to cure those afflicted with the recent blight, it did reverse the destructive void effects on tempest-affected creatures. Once reversed, voidbeasts appeared and escaped. Further investigation showed that the voidbeasts were using the tempests as portals into Norrath. Although tougher, the tempests were able to be defeated, depriving the voidbeasts of a way in.
Meanwhile, a mostly gnomish group of researchers, Dedicated Individuals Recovering Technology of Yesteryear, or D.I.R.T.Y., excavated an ancient airship in the Sinking Sands. Once restored, the airship took adventurers to the Moors of Ykesha,
the remains of the Rathe Mountains and Innothule Swamp, as well as the froglok city of Guk, now overrun by undead. A new city, Tupta, is home to a group of frogloks, and at the opposite end of the Moors, trolls still live in their city of Grobb. Members of both cities, despite the ancient enmities between the two races, have formed a group called the Survival Accord, to ally themselves against the Brokenskull pirates, Thullosian ogres, and Ykeshan trolls who also inhabit the Moors.
Also in the Moors were obelisks full of void energy, allowing the voidbeasts access to Norrath. Adventurers who entered the Void discovered the Staff of Theer, thought to be the key to stopping the void invasion. Formerly adorned with runes representing each of the Ethernauts, a group of adventurers who had stopped a previous invasion, the runes were recovered, and the
void anchors in the obelisks destroyed. Entering the Void to destroy the final anchor, the adventurers found the Ethernauts, who aided them in the battle against those behind the invasion: Anashti Sul, goddess of the Undead, and Valdoartus Varsoon the Undying, a mage who led an undead attack on Qeynos centuries ago, and burned to ashes after his defeat. With the strength of both groups, Anashti Sul and Varsoon were defeated, ending the new invasion.
An Encased Void Beast
This is one of the void beasts that invaded Norrath during the void storms.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Tuptan Vase
A traditional vase made by the Tuptan frogloks. The circular patterns are common to many of their furnishings.
Grobb Stone Basket
Many of the furnishings of the Grobb trolls are made from stone.
White Dragonscale Cloak
The White Dragonscale Cloak was originally made by the dwarven smith Karam Dragonforge in exchange for a platinum trio ring, marquise cut alexandrite, and a square-cut black sapphire necklace, for him to propose to his fiancee with. His grandson Rotheck Dragonforge, after being presented with a similar necklace for his girlfriend, revealed that another cloak had been made for Lenya Thex, a member of the Koada'Dal royal family. Brought to her in New Tunaria by Mayong Mistmoore, she told him it made her homesick, and she never wanted to see it again. The lich guarding it in Mayong's repository was slain, and the cloak retrieved.
Banner of the Unseen
This banner bears the symbol of the Circle of the Unseen Hand, a secretive organisation rumoured to have cells all over Norrath.
Lava Blossom Lava Crystal
Both of these items come from Lavastorm, sold, perhaps for a sort of garden, by a group of goblins calling themselves the Sootfoot Talent Society.
A Frosted Order of Rime Banner
The Order of Rime, led by the half-giant Kraytoc Killingfrost, landed an iceberg not far from Kurn's Tower. It was eventually discovered they sought a golden orb from the tower called the Coalescence of Life.
Spicebracket Fungus
Every month across Norrath, portals to hidden grottos open within mushroom circles. Those who aid the brownies, dryads, fauns, naiads, pixies, treespirits and zygomyds inside the grottos are rewarded with mushrooms, plants, crystals, and other items. This fungus was found in the brownie grotto.
Ornate Quellithulian Vase
The initial repair of the Ulteran spires allowed for travel only from Antonica or the Commonlands to the Overrealm and back. Wishing to restore the network, the Quellithulians enlisted the help of adventurers to repair the network. For their help in repairing damage done to the essence of the spires, defeating other-planar creatures disrupting the network, and reconnecting the torn ethereal threads linking the spires together, items of fine Quellithulian craftsmanship, such as this vase, were rewarded.
Basket of Rotting Pomegranates
Despite the return of the gods to Norrath, Erollisi Marr, goddess of Love, remained missing, rumoured to be dead. Wishing to prevent agents of Hate from corrupting the Shard of Love, the Sisterhood of Erollisi and priestess Annalisa Swornlove used a valorian bloom and Lady Shae's arrow to find the weakest point between the shard and Norrath, and opened a portal. Upon entering the remnant of the Plane of Love, they discovered that Erollisi was indeed dead, slain by Cazic-Thule, Innoruuk, Rallos Zek, and Bertoxxulous in an attack on her brother Mithaniel Marr's realm, the Plane of Valor. Although he attacked the newcomers in a trance of sorrow and self-pity, blaming himself for the death of his sister, the fight snapped him out of it, and he released his sister from the world of Norrath. The pomegranate has long been a symbol of love,
but with Erollisi's death, much of the Shard has become corrupted.
Veiled Bow of the Shard
The pieces of this statue were recovered from the Shard of Love and reassembled. Along with Love, Erollisi Marr is also the goddess of the Hunt, the bow being her favoured weapon.

"The Shadow Odyssey" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
A missing book of Bayle family lore, 'The House of the Claymore', led to the discovery of plots against the thrones of both Qeynos and Freeport. The book was taken to be translated from Old Qeynosian, containing information which could have put all of Qeynos in danger. The investigation led to Murrar Shar, one of the Queen's most trusted companions who had sent a letter to Princess Saphronia of Kelethin, which was not well-received, endangering the alliance between the two cities. Murrar Shar then slew the rest of the royal party on a hunting trip, but was defeated before he could kill the Queen. Only then was it revealed that it was not Shar's doing, but that of Kyle Antihilus Bayle, a long-dead member of the royal family who had possessed Shar. His intent was to steal the Qeynos Claymore and give it to some unknown Void being. Upon
reaching the chamber where the blade was kept, it was found to be missing, but numerous replicas, meant to deter thieves, were still there.
Replica: Soulfire
After the mysterious disappearance of Overlord Lucan D'Lere, Lucanic Knight Tallen Yevix used a gnomish devices called Tinmizer's Magnificent Messenger to contact the missing Overlord, who revealed that it was Tayil N'Velex, his closest companion, who betrayed him, opening a Void portal and holding him hostage in exchange for the sword Soulfire. Teleporting into Dethknell Citadel, Yevix took Soulfire for herself.
Shining Metallic Robe
Gabbin Bittlegrip's search for mechanical parts in the Moors led to information about an ancient gnome tinkerer, and the Shining Metallic Robe. Once the robe was in great demand by rogues, but now, trading a broken dagger to a trader in Maj'Dul resulted only in a broken pen. With nothing to go on but the name RILCOG on the pen, and knowing the pen was found in Antonica, investigating the wreckage where it was found opened a portal to a strange, alternate Qeynos under attack by clockworks, where the gnome enchantress who built the time portal was found. She needed the robe to repair the timeline. Rilgor Plegnog, the owner of the pen, had descendants in Qeynos, and Sarbith Plegnog, in exchange for the repaired pen, gave the robe, tarnished with centuries of wear. Returning back in time and
confronting Rilgor in Ak'Anon, none too pleased, a pristine robe was obtained. The robe was returned to the enchantress and the time portals, devices, and notes were destroyed to prevent further breaches of the timeline. Five hundred years later, this robe arrived in a package which had been stored for centuries.

"The Shattered Lands" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
From 3571 to 3661, severe geological disturbances occurred all over Norrath. Massive chasms and canyons opened suddenly, destroying entire cities such as Halas and Oggok. Some, such as Rivervale, survived, but in a corrupted state. Those who survived the Rending had to find new homes, bringing great change to Norrath. In 3711, Luclin, one of the two moons of Norrath, exploded. Some say Rallos Zek was responsible, others say Solusek Ro and the Dresolik crystal, and still others say it was the Sleeper, Kerafyrm. Regardless of the cause, pieces of the shattered moon rained down upon Norrath, tearing apart the continents, separating some lands and destroying others forever. The two cities of Qeynos and Freeport were rebuilt, but the fate of others - Felwithe, Gukta, Kaladim, Kelethin, Neriak, Paineel – remained
unknown. The Plains of Karana and the Commonlands, once separated by the Kithicor Forest and the fortress of Highkeep, were now separated by a vast ocean. During the upheaval, many artefacts were lost. In their quests to restore the Shattered Lands, adventurers rediscovered some and remade others, to aid in the rebuilding.
The Legendary Electrified Bone Bladed Claymore
Once found in Befallen, formerly the stronghold of the Order of Marr's Fist, the Bone Bladed Claymore was broken during the Shattering. Repaired with the energy of Redak, the troll warrior who found himself trapped in Befallen but rose to control the fortress, and Gynok Moltor, the first wielder of the sword who Redak defeated, and of a thousand sentient beings, the newly-reforged blade was then combined with a weapon which claimed to be Berik, a former Knight of Thunder who was dedicated to the eradication of undead. Calling itself Berik, Sword of Thunder, it was broken over the forge in Runnyeye to incorporate its power into the Claymore.
The Legendary Journeyman's Boots
Hasten Bootstrutter, the gnomish mapmaker and guidebook author, would give pairs of Journeyman's Boots to anyone who would bring him a shadowed rapier, held by shadowed men but which would quickly disappear once taken from them, the ancient ring worn by the Ancient Cyclops, an elusive beast which generated as many theories on how to make it appear as there were adventurers seeking it, and 3,250 gold pieces - gold only, not the equivalent in other coins. Catching up to Bootstrutter weighed down with all that coin was its own challenge! Bootstrutter's legacy is continued today by Cru Naseto and others, who have organised a contest to run the old bard mail routes. To those who can beat the allotted times, a pair of Journeyman's Boots is again the reward.
The Legendary Polished Granite Tomahawk
Used by the gnolls of Highpass Hold, the tomahawk was lost during the Shattering. It was found by a giant named Obsid, who presented this to an adventurer who saved his pet bear. Repaired with pristine granite from the Plains of Karana, now the Thundering Steppes, sharpened on the bones of the undead, and polished with ink from an Octagorgon, the magic of the tomahawk was restored.
Ancient Froglok Talisman
Following the loss of Gukta in the Shattering, a group of frogloks made their way to the city of Qeynos, where, although initially wary, they grew to trust those in their new home. Other frogloks had built the hidden village of Kugup in the Feerrott, and, after earning the trust of Chief Kaorf, those who found the village were granted a talisman as a symbol of that trust, showing the location of the village.

"The Splitpaw Saga" by Lera This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
Not long after the discovery of the vampire threat in Nektulos Forest came news of another danger: cannibalistic gnolls underneath the Thundering Steppes. While initially hostile, it was found that it was possible to earn their trust, and adventurers who did so were granted spells and other items known only to the rigid caste-based Splitpaw gnolls. Many of them helped their new allies in defeating the Underpaw army, which was threatening to overrun the Splitpaw caverns.
A Mounted Dreadsnout Head
This head was taken from a dreadsnout ravager by the owner of this trophy after defeating the creature in gladiatorial combat in the depths of the Splitpaw caverns. Known for their ferocity dreadsnouts are a mighty foe indeed, widely feared throughout the Underfoot.

'Twas the night before Frostfell, and out on the ice
All the elves were preparing, with goblins (they're nice);
They hid the ingredients tied with a bow,
And scattered them 'round in the white winter snow;
The people of Norrath all slept in their beds,
And knew that tomorrow they'd have on their heads
Red and white caps, maybe blue, green, or pink,
Iced cookies to eat and cold eggnog to drink, -
The elves ran about to get everything right,
And they skated and slid 'cross the ice - what a sight!
The goblins were putting ex-trees into pails,
And made sure they wouldn't escape (they used nails).
Drinal shone down from above with its light
(For Norrathian holidays all start at night);
The gleam off the snow made it seem almost sunny
As they worked with such glee for their leader, Queen Bunny
They gathered the candy canes, boxes, and bags,
The snowballs in buckets, the wreaths, and the tags.
They loaded them up as their reindeer drew near
To take them and decorate - Frostfell is here!
To Freeport! To Haven! To Kelethin's trees!
To Neriak! Gorowyn, over the seas!
We fly into Qeynos, we fly to the dock,
We fly to the harbor and take down that clock!
Like griffons who take brave adventuring bands
Aloft in their quests through Norrathian lands
The elves and the fae and the goblins and fauns
Soared on through the night before Kinship Day[1] dawns
-------------------------------------------------------------- [1] The first of the days of Frostfell, followed by Feasting Day, Gifting Day, and Frostfell
They startled no innkeep nor blacksmith nor guard
In Nettleville, Temple Street, Commune, or Yard,
Who stood all in wonder while watching the work
The elves even let Nathan Ironforge lurk.
-------------------------------------------------------------- Day
They wore fuzzy hats that would keep them quite warm
As they rushed all around like a void-fueled storm,
Unloaded the goodies they had in their packs,
The ribbons and stockings and candles and snacks!
They smiled throughout all their labours so cheery
And onlookers said not a one was e'er weary
Some had donned vests made from rare nimbus roots,
And others wore bracers and greaves with their boots.
Red peppermints flew 'round their heads in a whirl,
Their eyes twinkled just like a ruby or pearl.
And one of them had too much pie in his belly
Which wubbaed[2] around like a cube made of jelly.
-------------------------------------------------------------- [2] Wubbaing is the way a gelatinous cube moves.
The people about couldn't help but to grin
Upon seeing the Frostfell elves dance, jump, and spin
And nobody minded, not Bayle nor D'Lere
That soon random snowballs would travel the air.
The trees were soon up and the lights all aglow
In the cities of Norrath above and below
Glad music and candy canes filled every street,
And so the elves waited for sunrise to greet
The holiday revelers who would awake
And ask them for gifts and for presents to shake;
But seek the right elves, or her[3] answer is keen:
I'm not a Frostfell elf; I'm not their queen!
-------------------------------------------------------------- [3] You know who.

3. Here's a task that can't be beat: Harvest every fish and meat, Find each food and mine each ore, (It's cheating if they're from the store) Then you'll need to chop some wood, But not for Hwal, though boots are good. Then a pelt, the gems, and root, Maybe there's a neat rock suit? While Antonica you roam, Don't forget about the loam. You don't need anything that's rare: We'll save that for the evil fair. Then bring them back so I can go Return and give these things to Qho!

1. From the sea they fished us out, Adventurers, then mage or scout, Or fighter, or not in the least, Some became a healing priest. We, now back upon dry land, Chose the Queen or Lucan's band, Having learned to swing a sword, Cast a spell, and craft a board, We fought some goblins with the guards, Not yet crusaders, shamans, bards, Put undead back in the grave, And evil scheming in a cave. Explored dark woods and undersea, Found the gnome his whatsits three, (Later giant hawk or ooze, Merchants selling special booze, Goblin tree and mole rat's bark, Vicious octopus or shark) Finally aboard their boat, To Freeport walls or Qeynos moat Though not allowed within the gate, For one more quest did then await.

And as they travelled all around They found that notes with tasks abound For snakes and lizards, mites and rats, Manta rays and sonic bats. Then once fulfilled, now feeling bold, They turned the order in for gold, So stop on by and choose a task From in between the crate and cask As thanks for all the skills they taught, And did it in the way they ought.

Very useful scrimshaw token, Now that it's no longer broken. I have long moved on from here: One day I was hunting deer. I found a tiny piece of fur Looks like from some gnollish cur.

Here we May follow now the path he flew And see the deeds that he did do. Fly by the woods, where lay the gnolls Five hundred, now off of the rolls Of enemies of this our land Slain here by one of Freeport's band Could he perhaps have changed his ways? Fly near where he to Darvin pays A piece of gold, when he, alas, Cannot just yet his questions pass. But more he traveled, that to learn
How he from evil ways might turn. Fly past the place, where on his path Confessed he next both greed and wrath. Then back we go, to near the gate Where, fully cleansed from former hate, He travelled back, but now within Fair Qeynos as a citizen, He for the Queen shall fight and win His battles as a paladin.
