I am bringing a conversation here for more detailed talk of mechanics and ideas. As I mention in the Associated thread from the Universe Forums I am working on an object of power. The object I am currently working on happens to be a holy symbol of the temple. I have not yet worked out the history of ...

The one I am working on is a two headed beast. A symbol of hope for so many that has left a wake of destruction, death, and despair. Is this a Holy Symbol smiting the wicked or is it a cursed symbol stealing the souls of innocents???? Tune in to find out! Muahahah

My question is whether an object of power always has a mystical power of some sort regardless of owner?

Iz,

I love this and will be adding it as I was just posting about needing somewhere to send my Group in the Northern Reizh Region. I will definitely be using the option to have the newly found power manifest over time almost in the same way that I have played out Awakenings in the past. It will not ...

Maybe I missed but it seems the content for Reizh is there but there is not a scenario to run in it. There is say it with flowers which fits in well with were y group started and I have actually used NPC's from it already to give the players a sense of connection when or if I decide to have them rub ...
