Golden Acorns

Golden acorns—some see them as symbols of luck, others as harbingers of misfortune. These rare treasures are said to be gifts from Beenlost, the little god of mischief and chaos, often taking the form of a white squirrel. They say Beenlost walks where he pleases, never where you expect him, and always vanishes when you want him to stay.
The golden acorns hold a touch of his magic, serving as tokens—calling cards, if you will—for chaos itself.

• Toss it once, and you might find your way home.
• Toss it twice, and you might see double.
• Toss it thrice, and you may summon he who is forgotten.

Beware, for chaos rarely comes without a price.
The golden acorns may glitter, but beware—the acorn of chaos rarely bounces gently.
Toss it, drop it, or even look at it wrong, and you’ll soon find that Beenlost’s gifts come with all the subtlety of a boot to the shin.
Beenlost, the white squirrel, rarely delivers these acorns himself, though his presence is often felt. Sometimes, a golden acorn appears mysteriously in the bottom of a coin pouch or at the base of an ancient tree. Those who receive one are left to wonder: Was it a blessing, a prank, or a warning?
It’s said that Beenlost watches closely when his tokens are used, his unseen laughter rustling the leaves, as chaos unfolds.
Accounts from those who have met with Beenlost.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Imbued with the magic of a god of chaos, these tokens are both highly sought after and feared. Dangerous to possess, they hold an unpredictable power, much like Beenlost himself. The golden acorns work by being tossed into the air, but beware—if one is dropped and bounces, its magic may trigger without warning.
These little nuggets of chaos are as fickle as their maker, scattering trouble and wonder in equal measure.

History

Over the ages, many have come into possession of the coveted golden acorns. Among the most notable owners are Brad Wintersprig, Kiki Lightwood, Baresh Sturmen, Veil Moon-King, and Cole Willingham.
Of these, Cole Willingham stands out as the most infamous. He once managed to banish Beenlost—and the bag of golden acorns—into another dimension, silencing the chaos for a time. However, such delicate balances are never meant to last. It was only a matter of time before someone tipped the scales of fate, returning both Beenlost and his magic to the lands—to the utter chagrin of everyone who remembered the havoc he wrought.
The golden acorns have left their mark across history, bringing both fortune and misfortune to those who dare to use them. Their unpredictable power has altered destinies, toppled kingdoms, and raised the humble to glory—only to cast them back down again. Beenlost himself seems to delight in the chaos his creations sow, watching with glee as lives unravel or fortunes shift on the whim of an acorn’s magic. To him, the turmoil of others is the ultimate amusement, and his laughter echoes in the wake of every calamity.

Significance

These golden acorns are said to come from a sacred oak tree in Mothalisa, guarded by the fearsome Gorefang Lapin—a whole fluffle of them. These rabbit-like creatures are fiercely territorial and viciously protective of the oak.
Not even the Fey dare venture into the grove, for the Gorefangs allow no intruders. They attack anyone who is not their sovereign—or, more precisely, anyone who is not Beenlost himself. The rabbits bear the mark of his white paw on their foreheads, a sign of their loyalty to the mischievous god.

Behold a golden acorn in all its shimmering glory, brimming with untamed magic. These enigmatic tokens are rare treasures, radiating the essence of chaos and mischief. Each acorn glows faintly, its surface etched with faint patterns that shift like ripples in water. Once used, they vanish back into Beenlost’s Magic Bag of Chaos, a bottomless satchel said to hold an uncountable supply of these unpredictable artifacts.

Rarity

These tokens are exceedingly rare, and once given, they must be used with great care. They carry the trickery of Beenlost and perhaps a hint of Athos, the god of luck. Once spent, the golden acorns vanish, returning to the bag Beenlost keeps close at hand. It’s said he always knows exactly how many golden nuts he possesses.
