The CULT OF DARMAEUS

The Immortal Path

The Cult of Darmaeus is a widespread but highly secretive religious order dating back to antiquity, and with roots in the east across the Helicosian Sea. The cult is devoted to the worship of an ancient hero figure named Darmaeus, a mortal man who through his great deeds and forging a covenant with the heavens, ascended to immortality. It is principally warrior cult, with most of its members drawn from soldiering professions.

ZINJANTHIAN WYVERN LURE

(EXOTIC ITEM)

The Zinjanthian wyvern lure is an exotic tool used to control a trained wyvern. It consists of an intricately ornamented and perforated metal bulb on the end of a 2-foot length of chain.

When whirled in a circle, the air moving through the inner workings produces a distinct high-pitched warbling sound that resembles the keening calls made by wyverns.

FORGE HAMMER of KALKEUS

(magic tool)

It is unknown whether the Forge Hammer of Kalkeus was created deliberately to possess certain magical properties, or if the primal fires of the Great Furnace simply came to nest inside it over the centuries, and some memory of its master's craft was written upon it with every ringing strike.

The Hammer of Kalkeus mystically enhances the craft of the smith. Even without a fire, the Hammer can magically shape or join or repair worked metal objects in very short order.

The Red Harvest may have been procured by him as a collector's piece, or inherited as a family heirloom.
