THE CROOK AND FLAIL IN MIDGARD

The crook of the flock (see page 72) and shepherd’s flail were created for the
beloved god-king Hekhmet, who was known for his way with people and
beasts. The set of magical tools enhanced his natural talents and was interred
with him when he passed, some years into a prosperous and happy reign.
Generations later, his descendent, Ibris Hekhmet’s leadership abilities are
being called into question due to his underwhelming presence. A recent
increase in predatory beasts hunting the local livestock and a hopeful new
leader eager to enact his own plans upon the kingdom have left Ibris fearful
of losing the right to rulership. Ibris is seeking a group of adventurers who
can lend legitimacy to his claim to rule by retrieving the crook and flail from
his ancestor’s tomb, and in doing so, help him restore prosperity and peace
to his people.

 SPIRIT HONEY
Spirit honey is the natural honey made by
nonmagical bees that harvest and use the nectar of
poisonous or magical plants. The essences of these
plants are concentrated by the bees into a powerful
yet mind‑bending treat. Many alchemists and hedge
witches feel the rewards of spirit honey outweigh
the risks, and their regular consumption of the
magical honey often contributes to stories of “mad”
alchemists or “quirky” witches.
To gain the benefits from spirit honey, you must
consume it. When you eat spirit honey, you gain
its benefits and a long-term madness for 1d10 x 10

1–20 Your skin grows thick and gnarly, and you gain a +1 bonus to AC. However, you become vulnerable to acid
damage and fire damage, and when a creature scores a critical hit against you, it rolls damage dice three
times, instead of twice.
21–30 Changes in your olfactory system give you a keen sense of smell. You have advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on smell. However, you take 2d6 psychic damage whenever you fail a Wisdom
saving throw.
31–40 Your eyes develop to accommodate the dark, and you gain darkvision out to 60 feet. However, you take a
−4 penalty on Dexterity saving throws.
41–50 Claws burst from the ends of your fingers. Your claws are natural melee weapons, which you can use to
make unarmed strikes. When you hit with your claw, it deals slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength

modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. However, your clawed hands
make your normal actions more challenging, and you take a −4 penalty on attack rolls with weapons other
than your claws.
51–60 Your jaw extends, and your teeth grow constantly and haphazardly, only to fall out as new ones take their
place. You are proficient with this bite, which deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier piercing damage on a
hit. When you make a melee attack, you can use a bonus action to attack that same target with your bite.
However, you can no longer verbally communicate, and you can’t cast spells with verbal components.
61–70 Your arms, shoulders, legs, and back bulge slightly as muscle and sinew double in mass. You count as one
size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. However,
your speed is reduced by 10 feet.
71–80 Your mind clouds over, enraged and feverish. You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving
throws, and you deal an extra 2 damage of the weapon’s type when you hit with a melee weapon attack
using Strength. However, when you make a melee attack, you have a 50 percent chance of hitting another
creature within 5 feet of your target, which can include your allies.
81–90 Your blood becomes overly thick, and any damage you take is reduced by 1. However, the thickened blood
also hinders your body’s natural defenses, and you take a −4 penalty on Constitution saving throws.
91–00 You develop an eye-watering reek. When a humanoid or beast starts its turn in a space within 5 feet of you,
it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving saving throw or use its reaction to move 5 feet away from you.

MAJOR MUTATIONS
d100 Mutation
1–20 Your form roils and changes constantly and subtly. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and
slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. However, this constant changing makes you more susceptible
to magic, and you have disadvantage on saving throws against spells.
21–30 An extra arm sprouts from somewhere on your body. The arm can’t wield weapons or hold items heavier
than 5 pounds, but it can provide you some aid, granting you advantage on Strength checks and saving
throws. However, the new limb throws off your coordination and sense of balance, imposing disadvantage
on Dexterity checks and saving throws you make.
31–40 You start hemorrhaging excessively when hit, spraying magic-infused blood around you. When a creature

hits you with a melee attack while within 5 feet of you, it must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or
take 1d6 necrotic damage. However, any damage you take is increased by 1 as your blood flows more freely.
41–50 Subtle changes in your scent and presence attracts humanoids and irritates beasts around you. When
interacting socially with humanoids, you have advantage on Charisma checks. However, beasts with an
Intelligence of 4 or lower are immediately hostile toward you.
51–60 You grow a second, vestigial head. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and on saving
throws against being blinded, harmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious, and you
can’t be surprised while conscious. However, the mental input from the secondary head distracts you as
it attempts to aid your attack rolls. Whenever you miss an attack roll, you take half the damage you would
have dealt to the target.
61–70 Your nerves become hyperactive, leading you to jerk, fidget, and move randomly and involuntarily. You
gain a +2 bonus to AC as your enemies have a hard time determining your exact location. However, the
involuntary movement makes it difficult for you to move and act deliberately. On your turn, you can use
either an action or bonus action, not both.
71–80 Your body twists, elongates, and forms extra skin or callouses as it adapts itself to a different mode
of travel. You gain a burrowing or swimming speed (GM’s choice) equal to your base walking speed.
However, you speed is halved while walking on land.
81–90 Your blood becomes toxic, and you become poisoned. However, while poisoned in this way, you are
immune to disease, poison damage, and necrotic damage.
91–00 Your metabolism slows imperceptibly, causing you to continue regenerating, albeit slowly. You regain 3 hit

you were targeted by the faerie fire spell.

2 The target is encased in void crystal and immediately begins suffocating. A creature, including the target,
can take its action to shatter the void crystal by succeeding on a DC 10 Strength check. Alternatively, the void
crystal can be attacked and destroyed (AC 12; hp 4; immunity to poison and psychic damage).
3 Crimson void fire engulfs the target. It must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d6 fire
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
4 The target’s blood turns to ice. It must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 6d6 cold damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
5 The target rises vertically to a height of your choice, up to a maximum height of 60 feet. The target remains
suspended there until the start of its next turn. When this effect ends, the target floats gently to the ground.
6 The target begins speaking in backwards fey speech for 10 minutes. While speaking this way, the target can’t
verbally communicate with creatures that aren’t fey, and the target can’t cast spells with verbal components.
7 Golden flowers bloom across the target’s body. It is blinded until the end of its next turn.
8 The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or it and all its equipment assumes a gaseous

until the end of its next turn. While enthralled, the target is incapacitated.

BRACERS OF GANIS’BRIEL
These metal bracers lined with soft leather are etched with
beautifully intricate elven patterns and designs.
There are countless tales about the various
companions who travelled with the legendary
Gax the Great. One of the more popular is the
half elf Ganis’briel. One of Gax’s closest and most
trusted friends, Ganis’briel was often by his side.
194
Ganis’briel’s skills as an archer were almost as
famous as Gax’s skills with a blade. When fighting
alongside Gax against a terrible giant, however,
even Ganis’briel’s incredible skills as an archer
were not enough to defeat the giant. He and Gax
barely escaped with their lives.
To even the odds, Gax crafted a magical set
of bracers that enhanced Ganis’briel’s already
formidable skill with the bow. As he strapped them to
his forearms, Ganis’briel could feel the magic of all
elfkind flow into him.
The second battle with the giant went quite
differently than the first. Ganis’briel’s arrows found
their mark time and time again, until at last, the giant
was dead!
Ganis’briel eventually passed his magical bracers
on to his daughter, who wore them proudly for many
decades. The bracers became treasured heirlooms
and were passed from generation to generation of
Ganis’briel’s descendants until they were eventually
lost to history.

destination 1 hour after it stepped through the door at the origin. This quirk replaces the lesser negative quirk
that also makes the door’s travel no longer instantaneous, if the door has that quirk.
4 Each creature that steps through the door must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equals 10 + the number of
fragments in the door). On a failure, a creature arrives at the destination but is incapacitated for 1 minute.
5 When the door closes, it can’t be reopened for 1 hour.
6 When you open the door, it expends 2 charges instead of 1.

GREATER POSITIVE QUIRKS

1 When you open the door, there is a 50 percent chance the door doesn’t expend a charge. This quirk replaces the
lesser positive quirk that also gives the door a chance to not expend a charge, if the door has that quirk.
2 If the destination location is dangerous, the door grows warm to the touch and is “stuck” for a moment when
you try to open it, requiring you to pull or push a second time to open the door fully.
3 You no longer need a key to open the door. You must still use an action and expend a charge (or charges if
the door has that quirk) to open the door. In addition, if the door has the Foulton’s Key characteristic, the
maximum number of Foulton Keys you can tie to the door increases to 4.
4 The door becomes more accepting of new fragments. The DC to incorporate a fragment reduces by 5.
5 The Fragment Power of the fragment you incorporated into the door when you received this quirk becomes
more potent. The fragment’s numerical power is doubled. For example, if the fragment’s power increases the
distance the door can travel by 100 miles, it increases that distance by 200 miles instead.
6 Each creature that steps through the door regains 2d6 hit points. When a creature regains hit points in this way,
it can’t regain hit points by stepping through the door again until it finishes a short or long rest.

GAUNTLETS OF THE ARCANE FIST
These golden gauntlets are covered with arcane, spiral
symbols of pure silver.
Riggslet (‘Riggs’, for short) was a halfling wizard who
traveled with the legendary Gax the Great for a time.
The thing Riggs most hated about himself was his
stature. Despite his considerable skill with magic, the
little halfling’s most profound wish was that he had
been born big, strong, and physically powerful. Gax
always told his friend that true strength comes from
within, but Riggs continued to lament his physical
weakness and size. Finally, when he could bear his
friend’s complaints no longer, Gax gave Riggs a
wonderful gift—a pair of magnificent, enchanted
gauntlets. When wearing the gauntlets, Riggs gained
great strength and found his magic enhanced in
wondrous ways.
In time, Gax and Riggs came to a small village near
a high mountain pass. The people there welcomed
the strangers, who happily remained in the village for
many weeks.
Then, the giants attacked.

GRINNING SKULL
This strange white skull is carved from a single piece of
alabaster and is as large as a human head. Strange sigils and
magical symbols are etched into the skull’s forehead.
One of the first white necromancers, Althaghast,
espoused true necromancy—the enlightened
understanding of the mysterious connection
between life, death, and unlife. His deep and
profound understanding of life’s eternal cycle—the
necromantic triad—made him a potent healer as well
as a powerful spellcaster.
Althaghast dwelled in a hilltop tower within a
mist-shrouded realm suddenly infested with undead.

MAGE HUNTER’S ARMOR

This elaborate gold breastplate is backed with supple

prominently into the metal.
Ventu the Tall was responsible for one of the most
infamous events in history. Ventu was a follower of a
fringe religious order which believed all the world’s
ills stemmed from magic not granted by a deity. The
order claimed that wizards, sorcerers, and their ilk
were to blame for all the evil in the land as that magic
was tainted by human hands rather than gifted by
divine ones.
Lord Ventu held tremendous sway in the kingdom,

MARKUM’S GLAIVE

Fabled Magic Items

The shaft of this glaive is made from a single, long
piece of driftwood. The head is forged from mithril
with a stylized sea horse etched into each side.
Lord Markum loved standing on the
battlements of his keep by the sea. One
morning, Lord Makum noticed the bruised
body of a mermaid lying on the rocks below.
He hurried down and discovered she was
unconscious but alive. Markum gently
carried her into the keep and did what he
could for her until the healers arrived.
When the beautiful mermaid’s eyes finally
fluttered open, Lord Markum fell deeply
and hopelessly in love.
The mermaid explained that her people
were suffering relentless attacks from a tribe
of sahuagin. The mermaid had been wounded
during the last raid and had washed upon the
rocks near Lord Markum’s keep.

MATCHED BLADES OF
THE ETERNAL FEUDALISTS
This matched set of dueling swords exude wealth and expert
craftsmanship. Songbirds decorate the blade of one sword,
while a rising sun gleams on the blade of the other.
Over two centuries ago, two young, wealthy
aristocrats agreed to a duel over a matter so trivial,
it has long since been forgotten. The two men, Sir
Clive Dumfry and Lord Ivor Arron, had vast wealth
and properties, but both fancied themselves the
finest duelist in the world. When they fought, it was
as celebrities.

RED BULETTE’S HIDE
This strange hide armor is stained a deep red color.
A fin-like dorsal plate rises between the shoulders.
Korgg was a mighty half-orc barbarian, who craved
combat. The more difficult the odds, the better,
and he, especially, lived for one‑on‑one combat.
Often, Korgg would throw down his greataxe
when facing a single foe and rush head-long
into battle. Most such battles ended with the
mighty Korgg literally tearing his opponent
apart with his bare hands.
One of Korgg’s greatest battles was with
a fearsome bulette. Korgg was tasked
with vanquishing the strange creature,
who had been rampaging the area and
terrifying the populace.
The half-orc found the bulette in a
cave. Korgg marveled at the strange
creature’s thick, red hide. Then, with a
deafening cry of ferocious rage, Korgg
rushed into the cave and attacked the bulette.
The battle lasted for what seemed an eternity. Finally,

 SACRED MOUNTAIN ARMOR
This armor consists of hundreds of small, interlocking pieces
of steel shaped to resemble an ancient symbol for the word
“mountain.” The mail is riveted to a leather backing and is
worn like a mail coat which covers the torso, shoulders,
and thighs.
Emperor Shin ruled a vast empire from his
magnificent capital city at the foot of a sacred
mountain. The Emperor was protected by the Order
of the Sacred Mountain, a force of eleven elite,
hand‑picked warrior-monks.
When each initiate first entered the Order, he or
she received a special suit of sacred mountain armor,
which the initiate then carried, alone, up the slopes of
the Sacred Mountain to the shrine at the mountain’s
summit. Once there, the monk placed the armor on
the altar and knelt in prayer throughout the night. At
dawn, the warrior donned the sacred mountain armor,
now blessed by the spirit of the mountain itself, and
descended the slopes as a full member of the Order.
Many years into the Emperor’s reign, the capital
was besieged by a powerful ogre mage called
Ukani‑sago, who led a force of ogres and orcs.
Ukani‑sago vowed to cut off the Emperor’s head and
parade it among his troops on a spear.
The ogre mage and his forces swarmed the capital
city, killing and burning everyone and everything in
their path. The Emperor’s soldiers fought valiantly,
