Cornucopia of the Mountain Gods

Picture of the Object

## Common Knowledge

Some K’Vesten mages may have heard of a powerful artifact that affects Magic Rituals.

## Further Description

The Cornucopia of the Mountain Gods (abv: the Cornucopia) is an Artifact that takes the form of a flaming pearl. It has the ability to store rituals of various power levels.

The Cornucopia was originally sought out by the Celestial Dragon Delcho during the events of the Draconic Incursion to terraform Orelisle to suit his needs. At the time, the Cornucopia was the crown jewel of K'vestan, and was storing a powerful terraforming ritual.

The Binturian Party secured the Cornucopia and prevented Delcho from accessing its power.

## Current and Previous Whereabouts

Prior to its acquisition by the Binturian Party, the Cornucopia was in possession of Zohar Bethlem, the head warlord of K'vestan.

The Cornucopia is currently in the possession of a Binturian artificer by the name of Maldour Forgearm, likely being used to assist in the creation of artifacts and magical items.

## Capabilities

The Cornucopia is innately capable of storing rituals of various power levels, and visually shows the approximate power level of the stored ritual, as a “Low Charge”, “Medium Charge”, or “High Charge”. It can hold one ritual at a time. It also serves as a nearly-universal ritual focus while being used to store rituals.

“Low Charge” constitutes the upper limit of what Binturians and normal mortals can achieve. “High Charge” is the upper limit of what greater Extraplanar beings, such as Greater Reapers and Celestial Dragons, can perform. “Medium Charge” is anything between, generally on the power levels of the fateweavers of Madness and Knowledge. It is said that the strongest rituals it could contain are those that alter reality to some degree.

It can only store rituals that have been intentionally focused onto the Cornucopia. Any rebound effects or side effects of the ritual are also stored until they are unleashed.

It can be assumed that, due to the power level the Cornucopia is capable of containing, that it is likely incredibly difficult to destroy outright, though it may be possible to damage under the right circumstances.

## Creation

The creation of the Cornucopia is unknown, but judging by its full name and capabilities it can be assumed it was created by one or more progenitor gods. It is possible that it was originally created during the Age of Dragons for use by Celestial Dragons living on the Material Plane.

## History of Use

Prior to its acquisition by the Binturian Party, the Cornucopia of the Mountain Gods was the crown jewel of K’vestan. At the time, it held a “High Charge” terraforming ritual.

During the events of the Draconic Incursion, Delcho planned to steal and use the Cornucopia to perform a continent-spanning terraforming ritual on Orelisle. The Binturian Party secured the artifact before Delcho’s forces reached it, and it was entrusted to Maldour Forgearm for safekeeping.

During the battle that took place at the end of the Draconic Incursion on the Crinoid Mountains, the Mud Wyvern Leneki used the Cornucopia to counteract the effects of Delcho’s failed ritual, using the terraforming ritual that was stored in it.

Following the events of the Draconic Incursion, the Cornucopia remained in the possession of Maldour Forgearm up to and following his departure from Binturia. During his time in Binturia, it was used in multiple rituals, most notably with a ritual to summon his sword during a diplomatic mission to Cathais where an assassination attempt was made on King Nerius’ life, in an effort to defend the king.
