Weapons

Set of Javelins of Lightning (4 total), created by the High Priest Brothdin of Zeus for use against the invading Kayugan armies of 1132 TGR. The army she headed was reported lost with 100% casualties that same year. The entire set of javelins appeared in the Prince of Dryads Lair court’s treasury in 1202 TGR. By 1230 TGR they had been individually given out to Heroes of the Prince. The Bishop of Tracia? of Zeus collected three of the javelins in the year 1235 TGR, and destroyed one of them in a fight with a Frost Giant. The remaining two were kept in the churches treasury until 1240 TGR, when a young thief appeared with the lost javelin, and somehow tricked the church into releasing the other two to him. The church is currently hunting for these holy items. Current: Trag Debrut has the three in his possession.

Swords

  • Miscibil - +2 Cutlass
This cutlass has changed hands several times over the last three decades. It was created by the Pirate Mage Loprin who haunted the pirate isles of the Rumbling River for his captain Viltorg the Invincible in the year 1229 TGR. 5 years later Viltorg died in a battle with Captain Rolm from the Dryads Lair navy who took the cutlass as a prize. When Captain Rolm died he left the cutlass to the Kayugan church who assigned it to several adventuring priests over the years. Eventually it ended up in the treasury of the Kayugan temple in Rivers Bend. The Priest of Rivers Bend chose to give this weapon to Sarengar Swiftbreeze to use to further the churches goals when they heard he was going to assist in building a new church in Drillian at the Jistille Estates and exchanged a cursed battle axe he had found during the Six Griffons Lodge story arc.
