Memaw’s Never-Empty Gumbo Pot Wondrous Item Aura : Faint conjuration and transmutation Market Price : 5,400 gp Creation Cost : 2,700 gp + 216 XP Weight : 6 lbs Description Memaw’s Never-Empty Gumbo Pot is a well-seasoned cast-iron cooking pot, darkened by years of use and care. Its surface bears the soft irregularities of time and repetition - fire, oil, and hands shaping it into something more than a vessel. It is always faintly warm, as though it never quite forgets the last meal it held. This pot carries a quiet, nurturing presence. It feels less like an object and more like something that belongs in a home. When used, it encourages conversation, cooperation, and shared effort - as though it prefers to be part of a gathering rather than merely a means to an end. Over time, the pot seems to “remember” those who cook with it. Meals prepared within it carry faint impressions of the people who shared them, and those who have taken part in its first meals are often said...

Reveler’s Chain

Image
Reveler’s Chain (Chainmail of the Endless Fête) This suit of chainmail shimmers with a subtle, ever-shifting iridescence, like lamplight reflecting off spilled wine and polished brass. Tiny chimes and charm-links are woven into the rings, producing a soft, rhythmic music with every movement - never loud enough to betray the wearer outright, but always present, like distant celebration. Reveler’s Chain Moderate Enchantment; CL 7th Aura: Moderate enchantment and illusion Slot: Armor Price: 8,150 gp Weight: 40 lbs DESCRIPTION This +1 chainmail is favored by performers, duelists, and socialites who thrive in the chaos of crowded streets and festival nights.

Duskcleaver

Image
Duskcleaver, the Mire-Drinker Dedicated to Vapul, Loa of Rot and Death Aura strong necromancy and transmutation CL 9th Slot — (weapon) Price 32,000 gp Weight 1 lb Description Duskcleaver is not merely forged - it is claimed . The blade is a dark, dulled green-black, the color of deep bayou water where light sinks and does not return. Its surface seems to breathe with faint, slow movement, as though the metal itself is settling, decaying, and reforming in place. Thin veins of rust and copper creep along its length like rot spreading through living tissue. A dampness clings to the blade at all times. Not moisture as most understand it, but something heavier - thick with the scent of wet earth, decaying wood, and the sweet, cloying tang of rot beneath the surface. It never drips downward; instead, faint droplets bead and drift upward, as though the blade rejects gravity itself. The hilt is wrapped in corded fibers that resemble swamp roots, though they are never fu...

Gravewind Bone Horn

Image
Gravewind Bone Horn Aura moderate necromancy CL 7th Slot — (held) Price 12,000 gp Weight 4 lbs Description This long, tarnished brass horn is veined with blackened bone fused directly into the metal, as though it grew that way. The bone looks like heavily tarnished brass until it is examined closely, at which time the nature of it becomes apparent. Its bell is slightly warped, and when light strikes it, faint silhouettes of grasping hands seem to move just beneath the surface. When played, the sound is low, hollow, and wrong - like a funeral dirge echoing through wet earth. Activation Standard action to play Requires Perform (wind instruments) 7 ranks Playing the Horn (No Charge Use) The horn may be played without expending charges with at least 1 rank in Perform (wind instruments) . Grave Murmur: While playing (up to 5 rounds), the user gains a +2 competence bonus on Intimidate checks and a +2 circumstance bonus on Handle Animal checks involving undead...

Gatorbone Second Line Horn

Image
Gatorbone Second Line Horn Aura faint necromancy and enchantment CL 5th Slot — (held) Price 9,000 gp Weight 3 lbs Description This battered brass horn is wrapped in lacquered strips of alligator hide and etched with curling sigils reminiscent of festival masks and dancing spirits. Tarnish never quite clings to it; even in neglect, it gleams with warm gold and swamp-green hues. When played, its sound carries far beyond expectation - layered with phantom drums, clapping hands, and distant voices, as though an unseen parade marches just out of sight. Activation Standard action to play Requires Perform (wind instruments) 5 ranks to activate charged abilities. Playing the Horn (No Charge Use) The horn may be played without expending charges , though doing so requires at least 1 rank in Perform (wind instruments) .

Lost Tome of the Bayou

Image
Lost Tome of the Bayou   Legendary Artifact (Unique), strongly tied to the spirit world Aura overwhelming (all schools); CL 20th Slot —; Weight 8 lb. Price — (artifact; cannot be bought or sold) Description The Lost Tome of the Bayou is a massive, water-warped book bound in blackened cypress wood, its pages made from thin sheets of preserved swamp reeds and animal hide. The ink upon its pages shifts like dark water, forming and reforming glyphs in languages no mortal tongue should be able to read. It is said the tome is not truly lost, but rather hidden between moments, slipping through the boundaries of the Material Plane and the spirit world at the whim of powerful forces - or its own will. The tome contains forbidden knowledge, primal magic, and bound spirits of the bayou - loas, drowned dead, and ancient things older than civilization. Lore Legends claim the tome was created when a mortal scholar bargained with the spirits of the swamp, binding their collective...
