Three Sacred Treasures

With the awakening of the Supermassive Black Dragon, 3 of the world’s gods gifted treasures imbued with their might to the denizens of Quazeris. While each of these treasures is powerful in its own right, their true strength is displayed when all three come together.

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi

A gift from Yatogami, Kusanagi can cut the air itself, swinging the sword sends out a slice of compressed air in an arc, dealing an additional 1d6 damage to any creatures within a cone 30 ft in front of the blade.

Creatures with the Dragon and Fiend type are treated as having vulnerability to this weapon’s damage.

If the three sacred treasures are attuned to the same creature, the sword becomes a +2 weapon and the bearer becomes able to, as a bonus action, teleport up to 60 ft. to an unoccupied space that it can see, this action takes two rounds to recharge.

The Mirror Shield

The mirror shield is a gift of Eadala, it is a mirror of true-seeing, the truth of anything reflected upon its surface is revealed.

When you are subjected to the effect of a spell of 6th level or lower while attuned to the mirror shield, as a reaction you may make a Dexterity check of DC 15. On a successful check, you return the effect of the spell to its caster as though you were the one that cast the spell.

If the three sacred treasures are attuned to the same creature, the mirror grants the user the ability to cast the scrying spell (save DC 17) while touching it.

The Magatama

A string of 100 jewels with energy stored within each stone. The wearer of the necklace can expend that energy to cast cure wounds, bless, lesser restoration, or a single magic missle. Each jewel has one charge, the necklace regains 1d10 charges every morning at dawn.

If the three sacred treasures are attuned to the same creature, the jewels gain the ability to expend three slots and cast remove curse, or expend five slots to cast the conjure elemental spell and summon an earth elemental.

Beneficial Properties

Bringing the three treasures together by attuning each to the same creature modifies the properties of each piece of the treasure, granting each the listed additional abilities.

Once the three items have been attuned to a single individual, they can each be summoned at will and may hover around their owner, akin to an ioun stone.

Detrimental Properties

When you become attuned to each of the three items that compose the artifact you gain the attention of each of the gods that created them. They may each send the character on a quest or test which the player must complete, until this is completed these three items may not become the artifact. If the player fails the test, they may be struck blind, deaf, or mute, or suffer some other curse. }}
