Legendary Artifact

Locks and Lockets

Created and held by Norman Badeaux.
Custom made talismans, utilities, protections and seals - eldritch designs given by the Elders in Norman's dreams and aimed to forward the cause of the Eldritch Beast.

A bracelet of sleek and minimalistic design crafted from natural materials: the designs for the construction were given by the Elders in Norman's dream, although the construction itself was left by jewelry and leather workers of New York City, with the posterior blood consecration made by Norman. The design, according to those who walked the path and survived enough to cross to the other side, is a shackle, a leash: and it serves to remind the beast that there are consequences for desobedience.


You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You get +2 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

  • Been There, Done That: If you succeed a Mind resistance roll, subsequent attempts to use that same Gift or supernatural ability on you for the next day will fail.
  • Compartmentalizing: You can take a maximum of 1 Mind Damage per Round.

  • If you have an Effect that allows you to Exert your Mind more than once per Round, each Exertion still causes one Mind Damage.
  • These bonuses apply only to Mind rolls made to resist Effects and other supernatural phenomena. They do not apply to Trauma rolls or self-control rolls.

The Shackle of the Riftway is a powerful artifact and a companion for the Shackle of Serenity: it is designed to anchor Norman to a specific point in time and space, allowing his spirit to travel across dimensions before rematerializing. The bracer is built in black leather, intricately detailed with gold filigree and runes that pulse with otherworldly energy. A series of small, polished links from a runed stainless steel chain are woven into the bracer, reinforcing its ability to connect with the arcane forces of the multiverse. The centerpiece of the bracer is a coin-shaped symbol embedded in the leather, etched with eldritch designs that evoke the ancient power of the Elders who once bestowed these abilities. This symbol acts as the focal point for Norman’s dimensional travels, guiding his spirit as it slips between realms in pursuit of closure, with the first etchings dedicated to a specific site - the Infinite Parking Lot.

The legendary sword Rannira

Created and held by Sir Arthur King.
Currently Lost.
A long sword

A longsword with a blade light blue like the reflection of moonlight on a lake. It’s guard looks as if it was made of pure gold. The hilt is the color of emerald with symbols and insignias that had their meaning long forgotten to time. The pommel seems to have been made out to the same material as the guard.

The tale of the sword tells ,that a king of older days sought out to create a weapon which would make him the most invincible warrior under the sun. He called upon a witch who told him to bring 10 bars of gold and 10 if the best emeralds at full moon to a mystical lake at the outskirts of the kingdom and that only a just king is worthy of holding such blade. The king brought the items there and as instructed put them in the water of the lake. He saw that the light of the moon hit the center of the lake , a women whose Beauty was not matched emerged from it with the legendary sword in hand.

The sword made the old king unstoppable he went against the wishes of the witch and started a crusade to accumulate as much land and power as he could. It was a time of the shedding of blood and the shedding of tears.

The blade was turned from its holy blue into a demonic red and the hunger for blood seemed to would have never ended. That’s why the son of the king sneaked into his chambers one night and used the forsaken sword to cut of the kings head.

The son returned the sword to the lady of the lake at full moon to wash off its sins. Once the water touched its blade, the red colour faded away and left behind the original blue colour. The lady inquired if he wanted it back but the new king knew that he was equally as unworthy as his father was to wield such divine weapon.

It was laying there barren until now!

Legislators stroke

Created and held by Bankston Battle.
a simply eloquent pen, its complemented with gold-plated sterling silver fittings, including a cap button engraved with the Scales of Justice

Bankston Places a tuff of fur before himself and begins to write out a persuasive essay to the creatures soul that hes attempting to alter their mind. as he does so the pen draws upon his blood for ink draining him as he writes, after which he rolls up the tuff and starts to insert it into the persons body, there flesh seeming molding to accept the scrawled offering. while he's inserting the scroll he is forcefully bombarded with a flood of the creatures worst memories of crimes, requiring him to push past the flood.


Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend 1 minute. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. You must use up Tuff of Fur in order to activate this Effect. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Roll Charisma + Culture at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8.

If the contested Outcome is positive, a specific period of time (up to 1 week long) from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition. The level of detail and completeness of the alteration depends on your Outcome. If you fail, the target realizes that you are attempting to alter their memories.

The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last Friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”). You may also choose to only alter a single specific detail rather than an entire period, such as a password, phone number, directions, or you may remove all knowledge of one specific thing, regardless of time period, such as a loved one, a location, a prized possession, etc.

You may use this Power to detect and repair any altered memories in the Target's mind.

Affected targets will invent new memories to justify the inconsistencies. For instance, if their memory was altered to include a new friend they don’t have, they may invent further memories of meeting that friend, spending time with them, etc.

After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • Exhaustion penalties and duration stack. If you activate this Effect or another Effect with Exhaustion, your penalty will worsen, and the duration is increased by one hour.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
  • You do not gain mind-reading through this effect, so your ability to alter their memory is limited by your knowledge of what they might know.
  • The target's roll to realize their memories have been altered can be made a maximum of one time per day.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Bankston Places a tuff of fur before himself and begins to write out a persuasive legal argument to the legal owner of the creatures soul, pressing the fur into the creature. as he does so a speeding flowing script of legal script flashes quickly across the furred document allowing those who speak the the law to parse the memories of the creature from the perspective of cold legal terminology.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select an Animate target within arm's reach You may select a target at any range if you use up An object they used to perpetrate a major federal crime (I.e. Murder, Bank Robing, Drug trafficking.) of the target. You must use up Tuff of fur in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while the effect is active. Roll Charisma + Culture at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you are able to view your target's memories. If you fail, the target knows you're attempting to read their memories.

You may ask a number of specific questions about their memory equal to your Contested Outcome. For example, “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc. You cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”

Each question you ask and memory you replay takes a single Round to read.

You may read memories that the target has forgotten.

  • In the case of a failed activation, GMs should consider how bystanders would realistically react to a potentially-outlandish accusation of mind-reading.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Fleshbound Tome

An extremely large book with bindings of sinew and pages of living skin, the Fleshbound Tome details many secrets regarding the intricacies of the flesh. Tabby laced it with a wonderful book cover.

Ring of Constant Function

Created and held by Gimmlin Artstet.
A small band ring that glows with an ethereal green light

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality.
