Artifact: Mortar and Pestle

A remarkable find, this artifact may date back to the Second Age, ot the great Numenorean incursion wherein the Dark Lord Sauron willingly fell into captivity. It would likely have been used by a healer to grind roots and herbs in the creation of poultices and unguents required to keep an army hale and (relativelt) health.

"The first messengers have rolled in to camp. They're reporting few casualities. We've stuck a mighty blow again the forces of Mordor aligned against us."
"Let it be so, and not fools' idle chatter. Hegadorn! What news?"
"Haha! They saw we have won a monumental victory! You'll not be needing all that Athelas you've been grinding, my friend. Few need healing on this day! And more's the wonder! They say the Golden King has brough back a prize - Sauron himself, wearing the heavy chains!"
