There are realms beyond the knowledge of mortal men that lie far across the twisting seas of the aether. In one of these, there is an archfiend that sees all of creation in each realm across the aether as his to command and conquer. To prepare his new domains for conquest, this vile serpent has sent gifts across the aether to sow chaos and foment strife. To any incidental observer, these gifts mean nothing. They are simple, unadorned daggers with a curved hilt and black blade. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Yet, when they are used, they can kill anyone and anything with the lightest touch. They can overthrow empires

There is no such thing as an innocent man, but unfortunately for society, the egregiously guilty amongst us do not have the courage to simply hand themselves in to the authorities for judgement. So if the mountain does not want to come to the man, then the man must go to the mountain; and so the authority of the land has instituted the Judges to walk among the people and proclaim judgement on their sins as these Judges see fit.

Said to have been stolen from the Lord of Death himself, the Helm of the Dead is as powerful as it is seemingly innocuous.

The word “angel” means “messenger” because that is precisely what these heavenly figures are: messengers of God. However the divine realm functions with whatever pantheons or singular gods inhabit it, they all need liaisons with the mortal realm, and that is where Angels find their vocation. Angels are the intermediaries between the mortal and the divine, tasked with carrying messages, orders and judgements from on high. Angels carry the spark of the divine with them when they enter the mortal realms, however, they are not gods themselves. Once they set foot on terra firma, they obey the laws of nature much as men do, and thus they become vulnerable to the

Today, we’re starting a new series to run in tandem with the Sigil Bestiary called the Sigil Emporium. It will be all about what rare and wondrous mythical items you can use in your games to bless and curse your PCs in equal measure. Just like the Bestiary, every week, we’ll show off one Item from the Emporium, and when it’s all said and done, we’ll put it into a neat PDF. Items from the Emporium only have four characteristics, and of those, you only really need to worry about two of them. These four are: Item name Item type (e.g. sword, ring, shield) Blessing Curse The Blessing and Curse are
