~Page 8 - A Bottomless Bag~
What is it: A simple-looking travel satchel, made of leather and secured with silver clasps.
What does it do: It's capacity would seem to be unlimited to its size, holding a great number of treasures and supplies without adding any strain to the user, or filling up completely.
Where is it: Currently unknown.
~Page 7 - The Magic Map~
What is it: A detailed map of Rembrant and it's nations.
What does it do: While most instantaneous magic travel is performed by travelling scrolls, the use of those scrolls is singular, with the scroll being consumed in the process. This map allows the user to travel as with the scrolls, but the map never disintegrates away.
Where is it: Last known location was on display in the Grand Valanice Library.
~Page 6 - Lord Shade's Gauntlet~
What is it: A gauntlet forged from the volcano of Chardesh itself, it is said to be imbued with the energies that enabled Lord Shade to maintain his control of his nation and bring life to his golems and automated creations.
What does it do: Mostly unknown.
Where is it: Also unknown, though some speculate it's in the deserts of Devilin somewhere.
~Page 5 - Arinide~
What is it: A potent cure-all.
What does it do: As long as the person taking the Arinide is alive at all, they will be restored to perfect physical condition, no matter what the cause of their ailment is. Even those who are cursed or poisoned with irreversible effects can be saved with Arinide.
Where is it: The recipe to craft it has been long lost, though it's rumored that blood may be involved. The last known batch to actually exist was a vial of three drops, given as a gift to Rabbi Alex from Espanino for his service to Lady Esylana of Valanice.
~Page 4 - The Evergreen Seed~
What is it: A small seed that never dies.
What does it do: This tiny seed is said to have so much power within it that it can bring back a forest that's been completely destroyed in less than a year. No matter what the cause of that destruction was, a full-grown forest, lush and alive, will grow from this single seed.
Where is it: It's current location is unknown, but it was rumored to have been locked away in Valanice's treasury for a time.
~Page 3 - The Cloak of Invisibility~
What is it: Described by witnesses as a plain black cloak with patches here and there, it looks like any other normal travelling cloak.
What does it do: Anyone who wears it becomes invisible. They can still be touched or bumped into, however, so it is still advised to exercise caution when wearing it for reconnaissance and eavesdropping.
Where is it: It's current location is unknown. It is thought to have been in a thief's possession recently, however.
~Page 2 - The Mirror of Seeing~
What is it: An ornate mirror that is designed to hang on a wall. Its frame is fashioned of heavy gold, wrought into images of greenery, roses, and vines.
What does it do: Hanging as a normal mirror most of the time, it's owner also has the ability to look into it and scry the location of people, see the replays of past events, and find the location of lost items. On rare occasion, the mirror will come to life of its own accord, and show the viewer a bit of the future, for better or for worse.
Where is it: Its last known location was hanging in Lord Aurus' castle in Hakan - a gift from Esylana during her first winter as Queen during the Winter Festival.
