Items made from Margrevan Steel

Steel Realms
Margrevan Steel is said to come from the fallen eastern city of Margrevan. For a hundred years the source was a secret, though it was known to be risky to mine it as whispers came of a high mortality rate, and that workers would only be hired for a year, and then retired. The source was under the city, and the workers were drugged to get to the location. Only weapons were made from it – no armor was ever made from this armor, as the magics of it were toxic to the wearer. Items made from this are many times referred to as having a “Margrevan Aura”. The weapons shed light like a torch at all times. It is said natural oils (ex: from skin) weaken it, it should be cleaned with fire on a regular basis after each month of use.

Sometimes these weapons are found in the hands of Orrish, looted from the Fallen East currently part of the Darklands.

Incarna d20™ Margrevan Steel Details

This content is part of the i20™ Variant for the d20 System™.

d20 [specific] Requirements:

Extra +d4/2 base! Radiant damage (2/4/8). Any sort of Radiant attack (including ranged) can have its total damage reduced by an amount equal to their Attack bonus by expending their Reaction. It is immune to Radiant and Necrotic damage of any kind. It is immune to non-magical fire (if the weapon is lit on fire, it will do a +d4/2 damage) and acid as well as all forms of rust/corrosion. Each year (start) the wielder must make a DC 20 Constitution save or take 1 HP of permanent radiant damage – no recovery/no resistance/immunity.

After attunement, the light shed reflects the wielder’s nature. Violet = evil, white = good, blue-white = neutral. Attunement is DC 20 Constitution or d4 radiant (no recover/resist/immune) + 1 malaise (-1hp max) until Long Rest.

Cleaning it with fire will produce an oily smoke in a 20m radius for 5 rounds that causes d4 poison damage unless a DC 14 Constitution Save is made.
