Phoenix's Note

This ragged synth square is engraved with scrawls and symbols - presumably some kind of writing, but it is mostly unfamiliar to you, Phoenix says the note told him to come to the Valley of Dead Heroes and that he would find the answers he needs. He gave it to you because he has found no answer, but he has not so far. He hopes you will find them in his place. 

Although the engraved symbols are mostly incomprehensible, four numbers are written in the Truth, one on each line of text: 1, 5, 3, and 5.

The Face That Never Remembered

A face sculpted from a soft grey material gazez through and beyond you from ashen sockets. The mask affixes to your face with an almost lifelike eagerness. It is clammy moist to the touch. Viewed through its lens, the world takes on a nightmarish aspect. Once-mundance objects twitch with strange new angles. Familiar face, those of your most trusted friends and companions, contort in ways they never should. In the corners of your eyes, misshapen monstrosities lurch and stagger across impossible landscapes. The effects are subtle are at first, but the longer you wear the mask, the more horrifying the visions. What enlightenment, or madness, awaits one with the courage to wear it for long enough?

Scrawled Note

This note was in Motley's pocket. The ink is brown and cracked and might be blood.

Most of its illegible, scratched in a hasty scawl, but you can make out four numbers at the bottom: 5143.

Waits-for-prey's Head

This head once belonged to the deadly combat construct that called itself Wait-for-prey. Now it's yours. That is, it belongs to you, but it's not actually part of your body.

Mesmeric Handle

You found this object inside a ruptured Bloom-cyst. It is made of azure steel and resembles the hilt of a small knife, but the blade is missing.

Black Metal Frame

This metal framce is about as tall as a human, and perhaps twice as wide. Rivets hide cleverly constructed joints, and the entire structure can collapse to the size of your forearm.

Artaglio's Standard

This battle standard is torn and ragged. It depicts a silver stein on an azure field, with a bar of three downward-facing triangles above and below.

Broken Lascar Helm

The encrusted filth of the Bloom covers this helm's surfaces, inside and out. It looks like it would fit a human head, but the technology that created the helm is far beyond the capabilities of anyone in the Ninth World. Lights flicker from inside, and the helm intermittently broadcasts short bursts of speech in a female voice.

Obervich's Eye

Obervich plucked this eye from the multitude of eyes on his head and gave it to you so that you might restore sight to Skoura. He promises it will work simple by placing it on her face. The artificial eye is so well-constructed that it could pass as a real eye on cursory inspection.

Jar of Iron Wind

Made from opaque, battered metal, this jar looks like a repurposed cylinder. Just above its surface, a control panel is projected into the air, displaying enigmatic diagrams and text that indicate that status of its contents. The jar thrums with energy, seeming almost alive. According to Skoura, the nano who gave you this jar, it contains a small part of the Iron Wind - dangerous nano - spirits that warp and transform any matter they touch.

Tybir's Ring

The ring is plain and tarnished. Tybir rubs it with his thumb constantly, spinning it around his finger.

Transdimensional Power Source

This cylinder was one of ten that once fueled the crashed catena in the Bloom. It appears to tap into the power of collapsing singularities. It is a rare source of energy. It is rare source of energy, and only a few special devices would benefits from its unique properties.

Navigational Cortex

You retrieved this tiny, metal-and-synth sphere from inside a large device. It is the navigational cortex of the lascar's anchorage, containing records of unnumerable worlds and maps of the travel routes between them. You can see infinitesimally small patterns traced along its surface, with miniscule lights racing along and through those patterns.

Magmatic Annulet

This crystalline circlet is as black as the sky behind the stars. It twist and curls in eye-bending patterns, emanating power as if absorbing and snaring realities of the world.

Synth Egg

This egg-shaped object is made of pearly white synth. The moment you touch it, a lively tune begins to play in your mind, and the egg adheres to your hands, preventing you from accidentally dropping it.

Sealant Spray

This device is capable of spraying a powerful sealant material that could permanently close a medium-sized aperture or hole. It is too delicate for usage in combat. You scavenged the device from a large metal suit you found in the Gullet.

Sealant Bomb

This small metal orb contains a reservoir of sticky sealant material. It is too delicate for use in combat, but you could rig the orb to burst open permanently cover and seal a hole.
