Hi all,
I have worked a bit on my (technically) ongoing campaign, and "created" some magic items, as well some information on foreign lands etc. As English is not my first language, I apologize in advance for any errors and bad spelling. You are all free to use it as you see fit.
If you should like to receive the "data" in a more readable format send me a mail.
This first part is on my magic items:
Category Item Effect
Amulet Amulet of displacement First attack in each CT always misses, unless it is enchancted to allways hit, in that case, roll normally for attack
Amulet Amulet of Nebakhar royal line Gives +10 to leadership, +5 to armor, gives 50 heka magic resistance, effects are doubled if wielder is of the Nezcarani royal line. If the wielder is of non-balance ethos, his/hers dreams at night will be haunted by the ghosts of the old royal line whispering "sciencetific" secrets. Gives +5 to mental steep, but - 5 steep to physical and spiritual steep.
Armor Shield of Prince Nebakhar Large round shield, gives +5 armor, +1 dodge, +5 to parry attemts, effects are doubled if wielder is of the Nezcarani royal line. If the wielder is of non-balance ethos, his dreams at night will be haunted by the ghosts of the old royal line whispering religious secrets. This causes -5 to mental and physical steeps and +5 to all spiritual steeps.
Books "Schneiders Guide to the lower planes" This book teaches the subject of the lower planes. By studying this book for 3 months, the reader may gain 1D6 demonology and 1D6 multiversal planes and spheres.
Books Book of Skellos The book of Skellos is rumored to contain the most complete guide to summoning and communing with beings from the netherworld. No complete version is known to exist in the northern world, though several complete copies are believed to be held by the Mageocy of Beth-Salem. Here it is said that demons walk around wearing the skins of mortals freely without risk of retribution from the gods. It is believed that a direct portal to the netherworld exist here, and is rumored to be hidden deep in the Tower of Summoning (El Tovru des Zummino). Avoid this place at all cost, as your life is the least thing to loose at this place.
Bracers Lesser bracers of defence Gives layered armor of 5 per level (eg. 5 non vital, 10 vital, 15 super vital, 20 ultra vital)
Bracers Bracers of Kung Gives the same armor effect as banded chain mail
Earring Earring of defence Gives +10 to armor in super and ultra vital areas.
Figurines Bound demons These figurines hold bound demons. By throwing them on the ground and speaking their truenames one can command the demon. The truename is often added to the figurine. If the true name is not spoken, they will turn upon the individual who broke the figurine.

Portal Portal of fire This permanent portal allows one (or both) way travel to a specific destination upon the plane of fire. If the proper command words are used the portal may be closed or opened, thus allowing travel. In a both way travel portal, great care must be taken less a random being moves through the portal from the plane of fire. While most beings from the plane of fire would likely die quickly from the (relative) cold of the physical plane, larger creatures could survive for a time. These creatures will likely be very aggresive and highly dangerous. Much magic is aided by acces to a portal of fire, e.g. smithing, hekaforging, elemental magic etc, which will likely gain +10 to steep one any required checks made in the vicinity of the portal. The portal can be dstroyed by either water, cold or powerfull magic. This will likely affect the side of the fire plane too, and will almost certainly draw some powerfull creatures to investigate, so one has better be prepared.

Ring Ring of magic Gives +5/+10/+15 to magic steep, but reduces avoidance/resistance to magic by one level

Some 1 in 5 of these rings, are cursed such that the wearer falls asleep when putting on the ring, and can not be awaken for 48 hours after the ring is removed. Wearing the ring for long periods increases the likelihood of going mad, as each dat of wearing the ring beoynd 14 days lowers the Spiritual trait score of the person by 1 permanently. These traits scores do not come back after removing the ring. It is said that eating the brain of a grand mage will return the lost points, but none are known to have succeded in this endeavor.

A person wearing this is always shrouded in shadows, which most good aligned people will find uncomforting, to say the least.

The metal is then formed upon a anvil of power, by a dark deva pouring all her malice into the symbol.

Wielder must be of the ancient race, otherwise on a special miss, the weapon cuts off the wielders opposite arm. Ancient race wielders can not make special misses, this is instead turned into a normal miss.
Weapon Spear of monster hunting Gives +10 to hunting steep, +1D6 to damage vs. flying monsters e.g. manticores, dragons
Weapon Wand of the ancients This small wand like device is capable of emitting a 50 yard long beam that extends through all non-metal or stone/earth substances (larger that 5 cm), doing 8D6 fire damage. It requires a Combat HW, missile check to hit with the weapon. It ignores all magic armor. Damage from the device can only be healed through normal healing (that is no magic healing will affect the wounds caused by this device). This device stretching back to ancient time is a most formiddable weapon. While it is difficult to use, it causes massive damage. This or a similar device has been known to be in the possesion of the Weltanor the Grand Magus of the Ivory Tower during his campaign against the Lich-Lord Necrazars infernal legions. Weltanor claimed that he had found the device in an undiscovered dungeon deep in the Wrall infested Mountains of Despair. As Weltanor died in the final battle against Necrazar, he was never able to lead an expedition to the place himself. Many other expeditions have attempted to locate the lost dungeon, but apparently to no effect.
Weapon Tyrfing The cursed sword of Tyrfing. This heavy broadsword gives +3D6 damage and +5 to bac, +5 to leadership. Cursed: This weapon must draw blod from a living intelligent being when drawn. Otherwise the sword cause the death of the wielder the next time it is drawn in combat, either by making all attack the wielder, or by causing all attacks to hit the wielder. The sword will cause 3 great sorrows to the wielder, be it the death of friends or loved ones, or equally great sorrows. Once three sorrows have been caused on the wielder, the entire cursed is lifted for this wielder. Once a new owner aquires the sword the curse is reactivated. The sword was crafted by the elder dwarfes Dvarlinn and Durin as ransom for being released from captivity by the King of the Gardarikki. In order to spite the king, Dvarlinn and Durin secretly put in a curse in the blade. It is said that performing a great service for Dwarvenkind will forever release the blade from the curse, but this remains pure speculation. Some sages also claim that the slaying of a greater wyrm will release the blade from the curse.
Weapon The glory of ten powers This longsword (asian sword?) gives +10 armor to the wielder, and +5 to dodge to all friends of the wielder within 3 yards, including the wielder. This sword was created by a female conjurer to her lover, a male fighter. When the god of smithing felt the couples love, he aided the conjurer in making the sword. It is said that when the wielder of the blade is fighting with his/her truly beloved within visual range, the wielder will never miss a parry, and will only suffer minimal damage from any hostile attack. If the blade is used to strike at the clergy of either love or smithing, the blade will shatter into a thousand pieces.
Weapon Glamring This longsword gives +10 to bac. For a being possesing Dweomercraft of a skill above 20, this weapon grants +10% to all heka generating skills, +25% to heka total and +50% to heka generation (per hour). This weapon is rumored to have been crafted by Völund with the aid of the god Wotan. Völund has created many of the greatest magic items in the west, and is considered a demigod by most smiths. He is still rumored to be alive, and working in a smithy somewhere deep underground on a weapon to slay an evil god or a demon king.
Well Well of deepest water Using the proper incarnations and sacrifices, a person may (paying 1000 Heka) open a temporary portal to the plane of Froggies, a random frog (unless a specific summoning name is spoken), will appear within the well in 1 BT, it will patiently listen for 1 AT, and during this time the "summoner" may allow the froggie to leave the well. Any agreement between the summoner and the froggie can not be broken by the froggie if allowed to leave the well. The froggie can remain for up to 1 day + 1 day per point of Sorcery and Occultism the summoner has.
Weapon Lemurian Bone-dagger of eternal sacrifice This dagger grants +5 to avoidance, -10 to roll to hit, +10 to necromancy, +5 to priestcraft (only for gloomy darkness ethos) and contains a soul storage capable of holding 10 souls. Beings ritually killed with this weapon grant +10 to any bargaining result with netherbeings or lesser gods. This bonedagger was used by the priestess of the Lemurian pantheon to sacrifice many people on the great pyramids in Lemuria for their dark gods. As such the weapon has become ingrained with death, and the bony blade slowly pulsates with a dark inner glow. Indeed a dark spirit inhabits the blade slowly turning the wielder towards the gloomy darkness ethos. Each time the wielder uses the dagger, the character must make an avoidance check versus spiritual on moderate or slip 1/10 closer to the gloomy darkness ethos. Willingly destroying the dagger allows the wielder to regain his/her former ethos.
Weapon Holy longsword of the order of demonslayers This longsword grants +5 to bac, +1D6. It grants +15 bac, +3D6 damage to demons. The damage versus all types counts as holy (often doing extra damage vs. netherbeings). The sword is crafted by a mastersmith being a staunch believer of sunlight.
