Amulet of Ntse-Kaambl

See: N'tse-Kaambl

Fabulous Silver Ball

This object is a small ball of tarnished silver, about the size of a large marble, with three glyphs wrought upon its surface. Each of the glyphs enables the bearer to cast a spell. The first glyph supplies the Mesmerize (spell). The second glyph supplies the Journey to the Other Side (spell). The third glyph supplies a Contact spell for a random deity.

Golden Mask

This mask is rumored to have certain properties of interest to philosophers. It lies on the face of an ancient mummy within the shop of Getech in Nithy-Vash. The mask has only been invoked four times; of the fate of the first three owners nothing is known. The fourth owner was a poet who flung the mask away in an alley in Celephaïs, and then slit his wrists. Always after being invoked the mask returns to rest upon the face of its guardian. Any person placing the mask upon his face will see visions of strange vistas from the earth's past, gains a random amount of sanity-blasting Cthulhu Mythos knowledge, and suffer the consequences thereof. The mask will only grant its boon to one person, before it returns to the Occupant of the Box.

Three Diorite Cubes of Golthoth

These small cubes of diorite - the Cubes of Golthoth - are carved on all six of their sides. Five of their sides bear an exceedingly peculiar inscription in no known tongue, and the sixth side of each bears the sign of the five-pointed star. When placed on the ground in a triangle, they will form an Elder Sign (symbol). The size of the Elder Sign is dictated by the size of the triangle formed by the cubes. If any one of the cubes is removed from the triangle, the Elder Sign is broken.
