Here are a few more items for your TROS game

Singer

This exceptionally well made Shide bow looks to be carved out of a single piece of Ivory.  It is very flexible and accurate (-2 to ATN) and can accomodate any pull.  The body of the bow is  carved with an elabourate musical notation in a fine elven script

The bow must be strung with its users hair to function.  When an arrow is loosed from it Singer makes a high keening sound like a ghastly music . Arrows fored from the weapon can injure any target short of a god and will reduce an opponents AV by 4
When left alone and unstrung the bow sometimes sings a soft and sorrowfull song that always seems to stop when someone notices it  

Cleaveheart

Cleaveheart is an ordinary arming sword a bit old fashioned in design. It is  sharp and well balanced (-1 to ATN and DTN) but otherwise there seems to be nothing special about it.
That is not the case however,  Cleavheart cannot be broken or destroyed by any force less than a great dragon or one of the 9. Any attempt to destroy the weapon will fail usually by the subtest means possible. A sufficently forcefull atempt could even injure or kill the person attempting it  

Black Pilgrim

This axe was said to have been given to Arek the Beserker  one of the Champions of Celana by the hand of his godess. It is a well made  poleaxe (-2 ATN and -1DTN)  with a dull back blade incribed with the words "I am the Black Pilgrim use me in a just cause"  

When used in a just cause Black Pilgrim adds an  ISA of Justice 5 to its user.  

Stone (s) of the Pact
Long ago two stones were exchanged to tie the Shide and Mankind together in a pact against the Underworld. That Pact has long since been forgotten in the age of man ascendant but the stones still retain their power
The effects the stone has on a person are permenant after some (total of all stats) years and the stone will at that point find a new bearer.These stones cannot be used by a half fae character  


Stone of Man
This stone is a Beryl. When worn the user gains the physical advantages (though none of the disadvantages) of a Shide including stats bonuses and Glamour. In addition non sorcerous aging stops and the wearer is immune to disease. Any Shide (including Grols and other trollspawn) can determine on sight that a person is a stone bearer

Stone of Shide
This stone is a Nickel Iron Meteor. A Shide bearing this stone will have all stat penalties erased. More importantly they  gain a Drive SA -- Resist the Call of Death of 3 that can be increased as normal. In addition the bearer
will always be fertile.


The Blackstaff
This weapon was one of three made (Black, White and Grey) sometime in the distant past . Of them only the Blackstaff's  location is still known. When used the staff burns with a brilliant white light illuminating 9 primal runes representing each of the vagaries. The staff is a focus adding 1 to the the spell pool per vagary known at 3. This energy can be used to cast spells or resist aging just as a normal focus would be
