Brass Mechanisms

The Brass Mechanisms or Brass Ornaments are a series of magical artifacts that have a variety of powers. They are the focus of the struggle between The Rosewinds and Cult of the Junction.
They were pieces of an old machine, the likes of which the world has never seen since. The machine was created by Lum the Mad. There is a core piece somewhere, and then many accessory mechanisms to expand its functionality.
The total number is currently unknown.
<<DM NOTE: compare to Maerlyn's Rainbow from The Dark Tower.>>
== Known Examples ==
*The Basilisk Mechanism: previously owned by Ladro Lamora. Petrifies those who are "stung" by it when activated. Seems to have been designed as a type of trap, prison, or escape mechanism. Currently .
*The Wyrm Mechanism: opens a portal to a different plane, chosen by settings on the device? opens a portal to its twin device location? to a previously determined location? This device is in the treasure trove of Neverember's Enigma. Its existence is a secret.
*The Dryad Mechanism: animates inanimate objects to act out their purpose (e.g. scarecrows attack anything in the fields), or reduces people to inanimate objects. Currently used by Xanathar to replace his unreliable minions

*The Phoenix Mechanism: reanimates bodies in the immediate area. Currently used by an unnamed necromancer to find the Vault of Dragons for the Cassalanters.
