Common Magic Items
Cartographer's Bones
This item appears to be a skeletal hand cast in bronze, once per day it can be set on any map and the forefinger points to the item's current location on the map.
Castaway's Candle
This pea-green, lumpy candle smells of sea-sickness, but when lit sends up a thick column of dark purple smoke that rises straight up into the air a hundred yards, regardless of any winds or weather conditions.
Compass of the Port Of Call
This silver compass is engraved with a harbor scene and the needle always points towards the largest port on the body of water the bearer travels upon.
Maribell the Maruader's False Flag
This banner belonged to a legendary pirate who suborned a wizard into enchanting it so that with a command word it can be made to look like any banner, flag, pennant or standard the person saying the command word has seen.
Scrap of the Unclaimed Bounty
A tattered scrap of papyrus that magically reads the bounty amount and location to claim said bounty of any name whispered to it, provided that individual has an outstanding bounty. If there are multiple bounties on one individual, it randomly displays one.
