POWER * MAGIC * WEALTH
Artifacts are the mightiest enchanted items of the cosmos. Imbued with the power of a god, a legion of devils, or the ambition of a single mortal, they can bring justice and hope to all…or herald a new era of darkness. This book presents dozens of new artifacts, complete with game rules, histories and backgrounds, enough to satisfy the most demanding fantasy campaign.
The artifacts presented here are far more than simple collections of game statistics. After all, an artifact is more important than the mere rules that govern its use. Each comes complete with a background story, ideas regarding its current use and location, and adventure seeds for creating campaigns or encounters involving the artifact.
