Ingus, a known bard from Thoradin’s time, whom used to make tales, songs, poems of all the likes about Thoradins life. His harp, a remnant of his arts, a gift from Thoradin himself. Made out of pure gold, its strings of a soft silver, never to snap, torn or break.

Ingus tales
Book
A book with Ingus gathered songs and tales. Although as most of it is written in ancient Arathorian, few still understands the texts. Sadly some of the pages has been torn out, and at some places the inc has faded.

Caorhi’s grace
Mace
Caorhi, a simple farmers daughter from Arathi. Lived and died during Liam Trollbanes regin. Rumour claimed that she had a secret crush on the King, and thus as a priestess of Arathi served him at all costs. Was protecting the King during a small assault of bandits at a point. Caorhi not being a cruel person let the bandits go after being defeated, although while they were set to flee, they tried one last time to kill the King, but missed and pierced an arrow through Caorhi’s head. Her mace was always compared with her. Serene, calm, and full of light and energy. It is also romoured that the mace holds a holy blessing that will lighten the hearts of the holder, cast away the darkness and pain of the world.

Esar-Klian
Two-handed axe
One of many axes used during the troll-wars. Mass produced at the time, yet now few remains. They were named Troll blood, as was the purpose of the axes to slay all trolls of the world. Their blades are rather dull, and the ore of the axe while melted and shaped, was mixed with a small poision that would have a slowing effect of regeneration. Not only of trolls, but of all living creatures hurt by the axes.

Y-ahkmir
Necklace
Contains charms from all the bindings up in Arathi, infused into a necklace. While it is said only shamans can speak to the elementals, this necklace was made for a none shaman to do so aswell. However, with the elementals being very reluctant to speak to one that does not earn it, it is said that to be able to activate the necklace; it needs to be placed at a specific place, a specific time. Furthermore it is also said the necklace activation only works once a year, IF the elementals actually accepts the wearer.

Tal'nor su Eburi
Book
This book is said to be one of the books which were used during the season where humans were taught how to bend magic to their will. The book itself has taken several strikes from age but still appears fairly well kept. It's written in Ancient Arathorian and It's title means 'The way of Magic'

Minder-Brew
Brew
This brew was mostly used back, in the dawn of time. They were fed to the berserkers so that they easily would be able to enrage in combat. Even though the potion is rarely used, perhaps not even effective, anymore. The recipe is highly valued by some of arathorians due to It's unique taste. Few drink it due to the consequences It brings.

Fodrig'Wakin
Shield
Lord Ignaeus of Strom was a known an fierce warrior, he wielded Trol'kalar with pride... But not only Trol'kalar, but also a shield named Fodrig'Wakin it's rough translation is 'Ancient Protector'. Thousands of years old, It is but yet It hasn't been shattered. Rumours say that it’s indestructible. It's said to have been forged with the Sunhammer.

The Sunhammer
Hammer
This hammer is said to imbue the item created with it with certain powers, some are strong others are weak. Other claim that it has to accept It's owner before it imbues any items with any kind of powers. Lord Ignaeus of Stroms shield 'Fodrig'Wakin' is said to have been forged with this hammer. It was a gift from an elven smith named 'Anandor Sunhammer' to Thoradin, who then passed it down to a loyal smith.

Gint'Fernu
Twohanded Sword
This sword is said to as sharp as a shamans mind, light as a feather but as deceiving as a demon. Little is actually known about this sword, but several arathorians have fallen for It's greed. The blade Indeed is incredibly sharp but all of these arathorians have gone mad after wielding the sword for too long, refusing to give It back to the Caretakers. Therefore, the Caretakers have putten up a certain ward around this sword. The only reason they've actually kept it is because this sword slew the infamous troll warlord Zul'zakh during the Troll wars.

Ca’tarosh, Greatbow of Stromgarde
Bow
During the troll wars a group of archers were assigned to wipe out a village of trolls that lay on the outskirts of Eversong Woods whom were supplying Zul’Aman with vital supplies. The archers never failed, until now. One troll escaped their rain of death. After much tracking it was revealed that the troll was a powerful shaman who’s regeneration was like no other, almost instant. However one arrow to the heart stunned the regeneration and he died swiftly. The shaman literally evaporated into ashes, all that remained was the staff he had been carrying, the archers made a pact, that last one left alive would have the honour of presenting the staff to the Arathorian Royal Family. Years passed and the troll wars saw the death of all archers but one, whom crafted a bow from the staff of the troll and indeed presented it to the Royals. The bow was later revealed to contain the soul of the passed troll and with every arrow shot, his fiery essence was added.

Bethekki Pendant
Necklace
The pendant itself is comprised of a golden chain, attached is an amethyst panther on a silver setting. The gem appears to contain a strange cloudy liquid, this is not the case however. The pendant was found by the Caretaker’s student in the vault one day, no one knows how it got there or why. The true nature of the pendant is a source of contact with a Fallen Priestess whom watches over the Arathorian Royal Bloodline.

Gown of Tyra
Dress
The dress is made of the finest and most beautiful threads, studded with fuchsia diamonds this gown was handed down from the mother of Saihna. The dress is kept and traditionally worn by the female Trollbanes on the day they marry, so far it has seen just one wedding pass and with it the memory of Tyra Trollbane lives on.

The Census of the Arathorian Kingdom
Book
When Thoradin brought together all human tribes under one banner, he funded the creation of a list of names. This list would become a book, a book that contained every Human known to the Kingdom. It is continued today but solely for Arathorians as the Human Race has expanded so far through the world and split into the Seven Kingdoms. The book is changed to include deaths and births by a sole clerk whom holds the key to the book’s lock.

Tolo’Kator
Sword
During the reign of Thoras Trollbane, the Royal Blacksmith was commissioned to create a perfectly balanced sword that would help the young Prince Galen master the art of combat. The blacksmith indeed created a blade, but it was not given to the Prince. Instead the Blacksmith created a duplicate sword, of less quality. He kept the first sword hidden, it was so perfectly balanced he could not waste it as a training sword. Years later Stromgarde came under siege, the blacksmith saw his chance and presented the blade to Galen Trollbane, during the siege the Prince saw the blade as a blessing and locked it away to be used in a future crisis.

Spear of Thoradin
Polearm
This is the same spear that is rumored to be wielded by Thoradin during his days as a chieftain, passed down by his father.

The Emperor’s tusk
