Relics of the Four Fey Courts
“Their beauty hides their power, and their power hides their cost.” — Fey proverb
The Fey Courts of Tarnith are not only embodiments of seasonal magic and myth—they are also custodians of ancient relics, artifacts imbued with primal essence and the will of their ruling archfey. Each court possesses a signature relic, representing its dominion over a cycle of nature, emotion, and power. These relics are more than tools; they are living extensions of their wielders’ philosophies, often playing a pivotal role in pacts, rituals, and conflicts between the realms. From the ever-burning fury of the Emberbrand Spear to the meditative sorrow of the Crown of Gloamlight, each relic is both a gift and a test—capable of great creation or devastating ruin in the wrong hands.
Forged from living rosewood and crowned with an ever-blooming thornrose, the Bloomthorn Scepter balances beauty and peril. It grants its bearer the power to accelerate or reverse growth—causing blossoms to bloom instantly or roots to entangle invaders. In diplomacy, it coaxes truth through scent and song; in war, it strikes like a blooming whip of thorns.
The Emberbrand Spear burns with ever-bright, never-consuming fire. Said to be a shard of the sun gifted to Solandrin by a forgotten fire spirit, it channels solar magic and incinerates falsehoods. Its strikes sear through enchantments and inflame the passions of allies nearby, driving them into glorious fury. Only the worthy may hold it without being burned by ambition.
Fashioned from fallen amber leaves, polished obsidian, and silver twilight, the Crown of Gloamlight grants insight into endings and truths long buried. It allows its wearer to speak with the dying, sense lies, and command the hush of twilight to silence spells or voices. It is said to weigh heavily with sorrow, only worn by those who accept loss as sacred.
A crystalline core pulsing with icy stillness, the Heart of the Frostwind is embedded in a staff of pure white birch. It emanates an aura of calm and numbing resolve, freezing chaos in its tracks. The staff allows Orlaith to command storms of snow and memory, casting foes into suspended stillness or revealing past sins frozen in time.
