Chapter Three: SpecialRules and SystemsTokensThree-Dot TokensBelian's Folly ()

Legend speaks of a Wizened thief with fortune on his side

nd a knack for getting in and out of trouble. Belian was a knownomanizer and could often be found drinking Ogres under the table

a pub. He made a name for himself since nobody could ever catch

m with his guard down, even when he was seemingly drunk. His

ck ran out when one of the men he had made poorer discovered

s secret. Belian had a token, a dagger with its own mind, that

uided his hand when he held it, allowing him to deflect most

tacks. Tricking him to attack first however broke whatever

nchantment the dagger had, leading to his death. Nobody knows if

e story is true, but there is something special about this dagger.

When used to defend, it guides the hand of its owner, deflecting

tacks and providing a +1 to Defense. To most people it looks like

n ordinary kitchen knife, albeit larger than most.Action: Instant

Mien: To all fae creatures, Belian's Folly looks far more

mpressive than its mask. The hilt is curved, black with silver

immings and strange markings on it, like what one might expect

om an elven weapon of popular fantasy. The equally curved blade is

ghtly longer and shinning silver, it also has strange markings on it,

ke stylised version of the Hedge thorns

Drawback: Knowing that your weapon has a mind of its

wn does not sit well with everyone. Those that use Belian's Folly

ore than once per day gain the mild derangement Suspicion (or the

ore severe version, Paranoia) in regards to all items that can be used

weapons, no matter how mundane or special for the next day.Catch: If its ever used to attack someone without

rovocation, the dagger turns against its owner, trying to pierce their

eart or slice their throat, whichever can be done faster. If the first

tack fails, the dagger falls on the ground, if it succeeds, then it

eeps attacking till its owner is dead or it is destroyed.

loodstone Cleaver ()Some weapons forged in Arcadia quickly gain a reputation

f their own, much like the legendary weapons of various historical

mythical warriors in the mortal world. The Bloodstone Cleaver is

ch a weapon, usually because to even wield the massive war ax one

as to be equally large. Various Ogres, Trolls and Giants have carried

he Cleaver to battle, each to destructive effects that left few

rvivors. When activated, the Cleavers gain the 8-again rule on top

f the normal 9-again that all war axes get. When not activated, the

leaver blends in perfectly, depending on the environment it is in,

ut always retains its massive size. One of its more recent

carnations is said to be of an electric guitar, apprpriately shaped

ke an ax, allowing its wielder to carry the Cleaver around without

rawing too much attention.

Action: Instant

Mien: When activated, the Cleaver appears as a massive war

x made of bloodstone. The red veins in the green blade seem to

ave actual blood flowing in them, presumably the blood stolen from

its victims, or its wielder. The handle of the Cleaver is decorated

obsidian, onyx and blood red rubies, while the leather straps

signs of wear. In clear contrast, the edge of the ax is always sharp

as a whole it looks as if it was just crafted.

Drawback: Champions of Summer that have often f

the Cleaver in their hands were said to be even more aggressiv

irritable than usual. For twelve hours after activating the Cleave

wielder is at a penalty of 2 when trying to remain calm or in

socially with others in a positive manner. Lorekeepers of vafreeholds claim that the Cleaver wants to be used.

Catch: The Bloodstone Cleaver is many things, bu

subtle. The weapon refuses to be activated unless its wielde

made their intentions clear about wanting to harm someone, u

by declaring a challenge.

Glacier Wind Rings ()Few can imagine just how dangerous the Rings are a

glance. Looking rather unassuming, the rust covered and dull

and fire wheels, don't quite seem like they can do any dam

besides an infection if you get cut. In reality, the Glacier Wind

have been a traditional weapon of Winter Court championwithin them is trapped the essence of winter itself. Each tim

Rings wound someone, tiny ice shards bury in the would, givin

target a 1 penalty for the remainder of the scene. The last

anyone saw the Rings, or at least a perfect copy of, was whe

Winter champion of London fell to his Keeper about three cen

ago, in a battle worthy of Summer sagas.

Action: Instant

Mien: The true appearance of the Rings is quite diff

from the mask. Made of glacier crystal and with an aura of

around them, those looking at them cannot help but draw

connection between the weapons and the Court most often ut

them. Noody knows their history but the defensive nature makeRings a suitable piece of any Winter arsenal.

Drawback: Having the essense of Winter in your han

not without a price. For twelve hours after using the Ring

owner grows cold and detatched even beyond what is normal

Winter courtier, with all Social rolls suffering a 2 penalty. Th

cost many Winter champions those close to them, but tha

sacrifice they understand and expect.

Catch: Only a member of the Winter Court can us

Rings and never against another Silent Arrow. The only except

if the target has violated the Icelaw or somehow betrayed secr

the Court or the owner of the Rings.

Mistress of Pain ()Not many fae weapons have as rich a history as the s

whip known as the Mistress of Pain. Always in the hand of gor

women, more often than not Fairest, the blade has caused much

and tears over the centuries. Those that see the blade in battl

recognise it, are quick to stay out of range, or even desert their c

The reason for this is that the Mistress of Pain wounds more tha

body of its target. While the blade is razor sharp, when activa

can suck Willpower out of whoever it touches, friend o

haunting their minds with horrible nightmares. To the untr

eye, the Mistress of Pain looks like a shimmering wide belt w

strange buckle.

Action: Instant

Mien: There is no way someone can mistake the Mistress of

ain for a benevolent item. The sharp and malicious design of the

lt and guard, in combination with the matte black blade, leave no

oubt that this weapon was made to be used by someone evil, or at

ast of questionable morals. To make things worse, under the right

ght the sword gets a deep red hue, quite similar to blood.

Drawback: For a day and an hour after the blade is used, the

wner gains a mild derangement, urging her to inflict pain to others,hysical or otherwise. Friends and lovers are not immune to this urge

nd the owners of the Mistress tend to gain a reputation for being

distic and cruel.

Catch: Once drawn, the Mistress of Pain must taste blood,

gardless of where it comes from. At least one Health level must be

illed by the blade or the next time it is used, it will turn against its

ielder, forcing a 3 penalty in all Weaponry rolls.

Raptor Gauntlets ()Rumour has it that there are many Raptor Gauntlets out

ere and with the masking effects of the Wyrd its impossible to spot

em when they are not activated. While dormant, the gauntletsdapt to whatever style is necessary in order to match the rest of their

wner's outfit. When forced to reveal their true appearance, they

ecome quite formiddable. The left Gauntlet acts as a sword breaker,

ffering a bonus of +1 to any attempts at shattering someone's

eapon, while the right Gauntlet gains a devastating attack with the

otential of crippling the target, giving a bonus of +2 to all attacks.

Action: Instant

Mien: When activated, the Gauntlets show their true

ature, with razor sharp claws appearing on one and deadly looking

nuckles on the other. Style and decoration are clearly Arcadian and

s not hard to imagine a full suit of armour that once protected the

ielder of the Gauntlets. The matte metal of the claws seems to beermanently stained with blood.

Drawback: The Gauntlets are quite bloodthirsty and if they

o not taste enough blood during a fight, they start leeching it off

eir owner. That would not be so bad if not for the fact that the

auntlets are always thirsty. Due to the leeching, healing time is

oubled for at least a day.

Catch: Whenever the Gauntlets are activated, something

ust die while the claws taste its blood. It doesn't matter if its the

rget of the attack or some poor creature that just happened to be

here, something has to die. Failure to take a life results in the

auntlets not functioning the next two times they are needed.

Wailing Harpy Glaive ()Nobody really expects a toy to be dangerous, even if its a

oomerang. Black on the centre and with bright red and orange on

ach of the four tips, the rather quirky light boomerang seems to

elong in the hands on a kid, not one of the Lost, especially not

meone planning on fighting with it. Those that have seen the

Wailing Harpy Glaive in action however, know better than to be

nywhere near. As it flies through the air, it emits a high pitched wail

at causes all opposing its user to be dissoriented for the next two

rns, all their actions suffering a 2 penalty.

Action: Instant

Mien: Made of some unknown metal, the razor sharp G

has four tips, each vibrating lightly when stationary. The main b

shaped like a strange rune that some may recognise from Arcadi

few can actually recall any details about it. When flying, it beco

blur, reflecting the light as well as any mirror, something that m

few say it was clearly made for a Fairest.

Drawback: Unless the Glaive hits the intended targ

those present suffer the penalty in all actions, including the use

any allies they have. More disturbing is the light buzz in their eathe rest of the scene, affecting all perception or navigation

(including driving or trying to find their way in the Hedge) w

penalty of 1.

Catch: For the Glaive to be activated, the user must let

own voice fill the air just before, but go silent for the rest of the

A rather capricious token, the Glaive refuses to work for its o

unless its the only voice heard from the pair.

Shaikan Reaper ()Few know the story of the Shaikan Reaper and eve

would recognise the weapon if they saw it through the eyes of a

fae. What most see is a rather worn walking stick with a dragonat the top, vvarious scortchmarks and stains cover the shaft, dim

some of the excellent craftsmanship. For some reason, memb

the Autumn Court have been seen carrying the Reaper more

than others yet it has no apparent relation to fear. What it ac

does is heal the one using it with each successful hit. One hi

restore bashing damage, two hits will heal lethal, while five hi

needed for aggravated damage.

Action: Instant

Mien: In its true form the Reaper looks like a long pol

The shaft is black with silver trimmings and scale-like pattern,

the curved lunargent blade has four teeth along the back like a

The black sheath used to cover the blade has a silver dragon engon it. When the Reaper is activated, the edge gets a faint red

and a low hiss can be heard as it slashes through the air.Latel

Reaper gained the ability to reduce its size to that of a short sw

appearing as a sceptre when not activated.

Drawback: It is unclear why but for an hour for each H

level healed by the Reaper, the user is unable to use any Contra

other forms of magic. Future uses of the Reaper are not pen

like that, but the period of inactivity stacks.

Catch: Each time the Reaper is activated, the owner ne

spill some of their own blood on the sheath for healing

possible. Those that forgo the sacriice soon find out that the R

restores their enemies instead.
