So me and a friend were throwing ideas back and forth and came up with a number items that share an origin point. You will notice that these items (potentially lesser Artifacts) are in the very early draft stage, so any advise or suggestions is greatly appreciated. I want to make them feel unique with a strong history.
General Background Lore
The Brinelord was an ancient sea serpent that made its lair in a deep oceanic trench near a tear to the Plane of Shadow off the coast Osirian. It terrorized sea side communities and ocean travelers for years growing more and more muted by the extra planer energies coming from the tear. One day, a group of adventures took up the bounty to seek out and kill the beast. After a long and dangerous journey to its underwater lair, they faced the monstrosity and slayed it. From its corps and the surrounding mutated terrain they crafted powerful items that they used for the rest of their adventuring careers. The tear leading to the Plane of Shadow went undiscovered all the way to the modern day, though no known monsters have yet to reach the Brinelord's power.
Brinelord's Bane: this Xiphos (use Gladius stats) was made from Elysian Bronze to kill the Brinelord. During the battle the blade was broken even as it struck the killing blow, after words the blade was taken and re-forged using minerals from the Brinelord's lair leading to the blade having black veins snaking though the Elysian Bronze.
This functions as a +5 Aberration and Aquatic Bane, Seaborne weapon. Any successful hit with the Brinelord's Bane causes the target to be effected with the fallowing poison
Brinelord's Blood (I do not have stats for this yet)
Staff of the Deep: this black staff at first appears like spiraling tentacles made of black stone. Closer inspection reveals it is actually made of black coral. This staff was made out of the pitch black coral taken from the Brinelord's lair by Setnau-chaem-uset.
When near an ocean or a area with strong ties to the Plane of Shadow (within 14 miles) The Staff of the Deep regains charges at an increased rate of 3 per day instead of 1 per day.
Summon Monster ( charge) (aquatic)
Control Water ( charge)
Create Water (0 charge)
Shadow Walk ( charge)
Shadow Weapon ( charge)
Plain Shift (2 charges), (To Setnau-chaem-uset's demi-plane only)
When the Staff of the Deep was created it was tied to a demi-plane of Setnau-chaem-uset's design. The demi-plane has the fallowing traits
Structure: an ancient Osirion library
Gravity: normal
Time: normal
Size: one and a half square miles.
Seasonal: Standard Osirion seasons
Bountiful: Fruits, Vegetables, Kelp,
Setnau-chaem-uset's demi-plane takes the form of a tranquil island off the coast of ever distant Osirion. Sitting within sight of the shore is a large stone library and arcane research work area.
Spear of the Serpent: made of bones pulled from the Brinelord's body
This spear is primarily made of bones and leather with a large fang for its head.
This functions as a +5 Seaborn, Returning, Wounding,
Arndell's Razor Fins: twin hand axes that have sea rope hooked to the ends of their handles that connected to a belt.
These function as two +5 Seaborn, Anarchic, Invigorating
There are more items, but these are the only ones I got so far with any mechanics to speak of.
