June gaming element challenge – Fellowship of the Moon

Item Type: Organization

A religious order with a strong associated lay confraternity, the Fellowship of the Moon is dedicated to Cassian and Daciana, the Divine Twins that are represented in the heavens by the moons that bear their names. Many of the very old traditions of the Fellowship have been lost in the intervening centuries since the fall of the Basilica del Mare, though they still preserve some—such as the Carnivale during the Festival of the Twins, celebrating the birth of the Divine Twins, and the traditional candle-lit Festival Delle Luci Nascoste (Festival of Hidden Light), which occurs during lunar eclipses.

June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: Ardoris

Item Type: Artifact

Orange, with a hint of flame to it, this key is yet a grand mystery in many ways. Some sketches of it give an alternate title to it of the Beacon, though any tale that explains what it does or what the appellation means is either rare or lost. Given its coloration and some of the illustrations, scholars assume that is related somehow to fire and flame. The truth of the matter, however, remains unknown.

June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: Curare

Item Type: Artifact

The key is the green of the leaves of high summer, their depth and purity. It is a key crafted to be used by a healer of no small skill—it seems to me that if there were a key that could possibly counter the Gatekeeper’s Key, it might be this, though I could be overstating its power. It is for certain the Key of Healing, once held by the legendary Naria, Mistress of the Houses of Healing at the Basilica del Mare, who was said to be able to work miracles.

June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: Canticle

Item Type: Artifact

This key is more blue than Libraes is, though not quite truly blue—an indigo color, if you will. The tales woven of this key seem to indicate that it enables the bearer to read minds. After some discussion with experts in the field, it seems more feasible that it enables the use to read minds more easily with already extant gifts.

June gaming element challenge – Keys of Power: Optis Herois

Item type: Artifact

The golden key is another powerful, potentially dangerous key.  It is said that many a tragic figure was amongst the ill-fated bearers of this key, a key of heroes.  Scholars have not been able to document any confirmed bearer, rumored or otherwise, that lived to see grandchildren. Even as it is a key of heroes, it also seems to be some kind of key of Tragedy.   It seems that this key may possibly be able to grant the bearer the ability to do great, even impossible things, but it seems as with all things there is a price exacted—the scales, after all, must balance in the end.
