Date: Tue, August 28, 2001
Topic: Spells of Oerth


No unit with such a long and proud history as Neheli's Own would be complete without a sampling of the magic which has assisted them through the ages of Keoland's existance. These items are not commonly available, and will be highly sought after by the riders seeking to reclaim part of their unit's heritage, as well as gain further tactical advantage on the field of battle.

Oerth Discs

In homage to the Dweller on the Far Horizon and the Father of Travel, the war chariots of yore had intricate versions of Fharlanghn's holy symbol at their front. Made of many kinds of wood and inlaid with jade, turquoise, with an amber gem representing the sun, these holy items were said to ensure the integrity of the chariots and the safety of the charioteers as they rode across the miles of prairie land north of the Sheldomar Valley.

Any surviving Oerth Discs may well be unrecognized for their true value, and doubtlessly greedy fingers have plucked the valuable gemstones from many of the discs, thus destroying them. However, if identified by a devotee of the Far Wanderer, then an item might be re-consecrated. Such disks could then be used on chariots, wagons, or other vehicles made of wood such as ships.

Prayer Feathers

While most riders weave feathers into their mount's mane or trappings, few of these are actually enchanted prayers feathers. However, on occasion, a priest of the lord of air will visit an especially devout rider, and afterward the feathers on the mount do register enchantment.

In time of need the prayers can be answered, and effects varying from increased speed to winds that buffet approaching enemy projectiles safely away have been reported by appreciative riders who then pilgrimage to the nearest shrine or temple of Phaulkon at the earliest opportunity.

Horseshoes of Speed/a Zephyr

You may have wondered where these strange yet well known miscellaneous items originated. Evidently there are allied priests of Fharlanghn who have been quietly crafting such items since the time of the Great Migrations. While their production should not be considered common, during times of strife, the priests have often been persuaded to make these shoes for the good of their kingdom. However, many a mount has been lost when a zealous rider (or knight) took on more adventure than could be handled.

War Chariot Panoply of Sorvannis Neheli

Over the Common Years many stories have accrued amongst the riders and the bards of the kingdom concerning the legendary ancestral war chariot of Sorvannis Neheli. None living remember where he was entombed, and the records have been lost over the centuries, but in times of need or when lost, travelers and riders have been led away from woe and toward hope by the ghostly visage of an ancient war chariot.
