Magic Items and Mounts from THE CAVALIER
Here are the magic items and mounts present in the Arthurian novel I've been working on:
Iron Wafers: three iron-hard wafers, each three layers of dryness corrugated like desert dunes. Eating a wafer dries out the mouth and insides, and dulls all temptation. Love is viewed as from a satellite; envy looks like history, battles waged for nothing by warrior-princes of a lost past.
Eat all of them over three encounters with great temptation and become perfect in temperance and modesty. Each takes ten minutes to eat, and cannot be taken with any water or other liquid. If a wafer is half consumed the temptation redoubles, and the failed eater becomes a Devil of themselves.
Alondite: Lancelot's sword: liquid Alondite of lovely elfen make—the blade curves sharp enough to cut water and flame, or the very years off a man’s life.
+2 Sword. Once per day cut anything.
Mythril Mail: Lancelot's armour: silver mail wrought fine as maiden tears; light as air yet coarse against the skin, a private penance for soldiers.
As Mail +1; weights nothing, and may be easily concealed.
Gwynion: One of Lancelot's horses. Gwynion is large, almost fat, and ripples with white splendor. She is fast to gallop and fearless in the joust, but above all intelligent; she understands the human tongue, and sympathizes with children. At full speed, she can leap high enough to clear a castle wall.
As warhorse; roll HD twice and take highest. Take advantage when making a charge attack.
Calonddu: Lancelot's other horse. Small and wise—he is a canny horse, who knows how to weave between forest trees, and in mortal combat can prance easy round a foe while his master works the lance. His black mane blends into shifting shadows, solid ground for his preternatural hooves.
As warhorse; +1 to AC and hit while mounted. Leap from shadow to shadow once per day.
Frindau: Gawain's golden sword; the hilt, guard, and pommel depict smiling faces, clustered like growing fungus, each set with diamonds for eyes. It is a thick and heavy blade, hardly holding an edge—no matter for Gawain, who has no trouble shattering a man’s ribs through armour by sun-blest strength.
-1 Sword. Worth 10,000gp.
Gringeljet: Gawain's horse and son of an earthquake; a chestnut steed of unsurpassed size whose striding hooves rock halfway round the world. Gringeljet is large as two horses and would match an elephant in power.
8HD: once per day may create an earthquake to topple towers or crush keeps with its stomping hooves.
Angau: Perceval's horse: black and muscled; scarred all over, torn ear atop stooped neck—a man reaper of a horse with teeth fanged like a wolf and the eyes of a marauder.
As warhorse: +1 to hit and damage against humans. Whoever kills Angau is cursed to die in 1d6 days; whatever the cause, teeth will be found filling their throat and veins.
Dagonet's Dress: A violet chiton cut from fabric off Kindness's travelling pavilion by the giant Orgoglio. The wearer becomes a maiden.
I think that's it. The only cut magic item across the various drafts is the Holy Grail, and you already know what that is.
