Hearthlight

Steel Realms
Hearthlight of the Lightbringers

Hearthlight is a shinning beacon of hope and vitality that is unique to the Lighbringers. Knights of the Steel Realms in service to the cause, and special followers are gifted with a collection of these upon their christening or special achievement. The light sparkles and shine, even in the darkness, while there is a drought in the vial. Many of the Umbakian Bloodlines of The Kingdom of Umbak still possess their ‘Ancient Hearthflame’, some of the original versions of these.

Source: This is a blessed ember from the fire of the Home Hearth in the High Temple of Aerna. It is placed in a perfect multifaceted glass vial from made in the High Temple of Balthazaar, and quenched using the quench water from the forge of the High Temple of Ikribu.

In order to use the item, the wielder must be a Follower of the Lightbringers. When gifted, the prayers of activation are taught to the recipient. Once activated with a prayer, only the activator can use it, it cannot be passed to another (except Ancient Hearthflames – these are tied to bloodlines and families). Once activated, effects with duration last 10 minutes.

  • Bright: Radiates light as if it were a torch. Ancient Hearthflames radiate the light of a Bonfire.
  • Consecrated: Acts as a drought of greater Water of the Living (Holy Water); Ancient Hearthflame grants an Enhanced Litany.
  • Spark of Life: When used in daylight, or activated with a prayer the damage done to undead targets doubles.
  • Fire of Life: When activated with a prayer, draining some vitality from the speaker, the entire thing permanently becomes a fiery explosive for a short duration, after which the magic fades and is gone permanently.
  • Fortitude of the Light: The imbiber gains a bit more fortitude and is resistant to the magical effects of undead for a short duration.
