The Anvil of Legend, crafted of a single pure block of mithril and said to hold the heart of a star within its depths, is one of the finest artefacts ever. Every hammer-blow imbues objects crafted upon it with tremendous sorcery, with no need for an inelegant fire-based forge.
Most of the secrets it once held have been lost, but it is still used to create magical items, when the need is great. For now, it is under a sheet in an isolated tower, put aside until someone can find a use for it. How you can use the Anvil of Legend in your games: - Perhaps an enemy force has seized the tower, equipping their troops with rapidly-forged magical weapons. It must be taken back, but perhaps the regular army cannot be spared- adventurers will be needed. - For a PC whose magic [item] has been broken or destroyed, this might be a place they need to seek out to make a replacement. Perhaps the tower is now monster-haunted or has spiritual guardians to defend it. - If the tower is inhabited, perhaps the master-smiths have found that the star-heart at the centre of the anvil is finally dying. A replacement must be found before it dies altogether, or perhaps only one last mighty object can be made using its power. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 29 August 2020. Comments are closed.
