 Greetings great warriors and adventurers, I Thorlin of the Great Halls of the
 Drawves have seen the great treasure hordes of Magnis.  What follows is just
 a little of what I have seen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
--Axe of the Woodsman:  This two-handed Battle Axe +3, created by some unknown
  race, is the bane of many woodland creatures. This great axe last found in
  the hands of Kalgor the barbarian of the northern reaches, has a adamantite
  head and a handle of iron wood. When used to fall mighty trees, the axe
  can fall even the mightest of trees in only a few strokes.  When used
  against woodland creaures such as Treants, Dryads, Elves, Brownies, etc..
  this great axe does double damage.  Many a Elf would like to see to its
  destruction.

--Acrobat pole of Rexis:  This valuable Thief Acrobat item, is sought after
  by many a Thief Acrobat.  It is a smooth iron wood pole ten foot long.  Used
  by rexis, in his thieving days, is very usefull in  vaulting high walls
  and climbing smooth surfaces.  When used for vaulting the pole expands to
  twent feet and gives the user a bonus of 15% in pole vaulting.  Also when 
  the command word is known a grappling hook will appear on its end.  With the 
  command word known the grappling hook can be fired into any surface and the
  hook will attach itself into that surface.  The grappling hook can be fired
  up to hunderd feet.  The rope of the grappling is very strong and takes 20 
  hp of damage to be severed. Even after being severed the grappling hook can 
  be retracted, the rope will repair its self and can be ready for use again.
  If the grappling hook is used against a creature, the grappling hook does 
  1d6 points of damage and it takes a successful bend bars lift gate roll to 
  remove.

--Enchanted Thieves Tools:  These magical thieves tool made of mithral and 
  created by the high elves give the thief using them a 25% bonus for
  picking locks.  Created by the well known elven thief, Thornshadow to aid
  him when he was starting his career as a thief, were lost when he was killed
  by a rival thief.

--Sheath of Sharpening and Cleaning:  These unique longsword sheathes were
  created by the Knights of the Rock long ago.  There are rumored to only to
  be a handful in existence. When properly used the sheath will keep the
  longswords within them every sharp and clean. Once a month broken longsword
  can be placed within the sheath and when it the sword is drawn it is whole 
  again, even to include magical blades. Sought after many great warriors 
  these sheathes catch a hevfty sum in the open market.

--Staff of the Grand Druid:  This one of a kind iron wood staff, was created 
  by the Grand Druid, Arlamane to aid his successor when he stepped down as
  the Grand Druid. The staff is six foot long, and atop it is the egg of a
  Phoenix.  The staff when used by a Druid is a + 5 staff of striking.
  Once per day the Grand Druid can call forth the aid of a Phoenix.  When
  the Phoenix is called the egg atop the staff explodes in a fiery light
  and a Phoenix will come forth.  The Phoenix will remain and aid the Grand
  Druid until the task it has been summoned for is complete.  Upon completion
  of its task, the Phoenix will explode in a fiery explosion and be consummed
  by the explosion.  When the sun rises the following day, the egg will 
  re-appear atop of the staff.  For some unkown reason should any non-druid
  aquire the staff, the druids will do everything in their power to recover
  the staff.
