The History Behind the Feather

After many years of living in the forests of Ansopen, Luc Tancred was quite familiar with the hermit Adlil who sometimes lived in the cave by the Cold River Falls. As he had many times before, Luc went to visit the old hermit and show him recent trophies from Luc's adventures. It was during one such visit that the old man's eyes lit upon the monster claw, crystal globe, rare woodland flower, and small silver mirror... with a speculative gaze, the old man mysteriously mentioned he knew how to make a charm to defend one from evil magical powers. Given the things the old man had made before, it seemed as though such an item would be of great use.

The Feather

This beautiful silver and crystalline charm is carved and crafted int the form of an eagle feather. At the base of the feather, a hand-worked claw is carved into a loop so the charm can be worn on a chain. Finally, gazing into the crystal body of the feather, one can see a rare woodland flower preserved permanently as if in amber.

Anyone gazing at the preserved flower within the crystal is warmed by a feeling of safety and protection.

Adventures with the Golden Feather of Warding

Upon acquiring this rare item, Luc Tancred immediately knew that Duke Valgar of the Kingdom of Cathay, who possessed so many other items made by the old sage Adlil, would be very interested in something that might ward him from evil magics.

The old sage Adlil mentioned that he could perform a ceremony that would somehow bind the charm to Duke Valgar, making its protective magics work that much the better. He asked for a monster skull from Luc Tancred, placing the charm within the skull and chanting spells over it all night. When the charm was removed from the skull, it practically sparkled with light (100% condition)!
