#1 garden_dm Jan 28, 2011 1:06:06	Does anyone have any references on artifacts of Selune? I need a handful (3?, 4?, 5?, not sure) of them for my campaign. I've got no problem making my own up (heck, it would be fun), but thought I'd see if there were any interesting ones already part of the lore. Thanks!

#3 garden_dm Jan 29, 2011 14:40:48	@sfdragon - Thanks for the info. I think I'll need to make up an artifact set for Selune for my campaign. I'll post them here after my PCs discover each one (wouldn't want them to discover them in advance).

#5 sfdragon Jan 29, 2011 20:19:29	There might be some Relics somewhere too... though those can be easier to dream up
#6 garden_dm Jan 30, 2011 11:12:45	@marius4 - Hmmmm, I like the idea of the Wand of Four Moons, but am unsure how I would justify it being out of her hands. I'm thinking of artifacts that were built in her name, infused with her power, but lost over the ages and are now in ancient tombs and catacombs waiting to be rediscovered. @sfdragon - What is the difference between an artifact and a relic?  We start playing in two weeks! I haven't GM'ed or played since High School (16 years) and am super excited. I'd share more about how the artifacts play into the plot arc, but don't want to risk the tiny chance that one of my players could stumble upon these posts and recognize what's going on.

#8 sfdragon Jan 30, 2011 14:57:39	an artifact has a historical reference either to a faith or a nation and has survived through the ages a relic belonged to a champion of a faith that bewcame a saint to it or something like that. in other words, The Loremaster's mace during 4e would be considered a relic to the church of Ogmha where as the axe of the dwarven lords is an artifact to the drawven race

Bad idea to wear them if you're not a Selunite, as you get a Flame Strike for your trouble.  If you are a Selunite, you can forgo the being blown up part, but you still have to know the proper sequence and placement of the rings to benefit from their full powers, otherwise wearing all four rings makes them cease to function until removed. The proper sequence and placement is on the bare left hand, Amglaer on the little finger, Enthandas (at the base) and Shelmroun (at the tip) on the middle finger, and Tilithar on the thumb.  The rings resize to fit the fingers of the wearer. If worn properly, the wearer can make the books pages appear by silent act of will as long as there is natural moonlight present, with the spells appearing silently on intangible floating pages fromed by glowing air that resembles moonlight in shade and brightness, one spell at a time.  The pages last as long as desired, or until touched by sunlight or a non-Selunite, or if one or more rings are taken off.  The rings held around 40 spells, though rumors persisted that individual rings could call on 6-10 different spells if the proper rites were known, though no one but very senior members of the clergy knew them, if the rumors were true at all. Supposedly, the rings were given to Selune's faithful by her Shards just after the Fall of Netheril, though it took a few centuries for anyone to realize that they were indeed a spellbook.  Like most such relics, they have the teleport to somewhere else thing going for them that was so common for items of power (and oh so convenient for DMs who decided the players have had them long enough). Hope that helps, good luck with things.

#11 garden_dm Apr 14, 2011 0:26:50	I'm a bit paranoid to post the stuff that I made up here in case my players ever start poking around the forums (unlikely, but still). Feel free to message me if you'd like what I've got so far.
