Dice of fate

Dice of fate are special dice that cast different spells depending on which number is rolled. The resulting spell cast may be beneficial or it may be very dangerous. Each dice of fate set has its own set list of spells that can be cast, and that set list may differ between different sets. Dice of fate come in two varieties: lesser and greater. There are currently two known greater dice of fate. A pair of uneven bone dice was auctioned off at the 2009 Ebon Gate auction. There are at least five lesser versions of the dice of fate, two or more that were auctioned off at the 2006 Ebon Gate auction. Lesser dice of fate can only be used 5 times a day. Several sets were also released through the 2011 Droughtman's Challenge event among the [[prizes offered. Several of these duplicated the appearance of other previous sets. Lesser Dice of Fate The lesser dice of fate cast a spell depending on how they are rolled. Different sets of dice pull from different sets of spells. See the properties below for the list of spells. The lesser dice of fate's positive spells last somewhat more than 2 hours per roll. They automatically return to your hand after rolling. They can be rolled 5x per day. They act like regular dice for the remainder of the day, not casting any spells. The lesser dice of fate will behave like normal dice while Minor sanctuary is up.

One of the greater dice of fate sets, a pair of obsidian dice with pips of ivory, has the following loresong: Loresong Reaction As you sing, you see a vision of the night sky with Charon beginning to rise over the horizon. A strange pinpoint of darkness forming in the center of the moon. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! As you continue to sing, you see Orhan rise close to Charon and an even smaller glowing point of light appear in the center of the darkness. In a shimmering flash of light the two points mix and shoot towards Kulthea. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! As you continue to sing, you see two strange objects fall to the ground in a shimmering streak of light. As they fall the brilliant flare of pure essence mingles with the undulating darkness of the unlife as if locked in battle around the objects. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! As you conclude the song, a final vision comes to you, the image of a pair of dice with odd pips resting in a shallow crater. The vision fades leaving you with the impression that the dice are a point of contention between the Lords of Orhan and the Dark Lords of Charon. Their nature and abilities dependent upon that hidden struggle. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! One of the lesser dice of fate sets, some mottled drakar dice, has the following loresong: Loresong Reaction Cradling the drakar dice in your hand, you roll them around slowly as you begin to sing. Your eyes flutter shut as images begin to take shape behind them. The faint smell of smoke and liquor tingles your nose, and you see before you a seedy room, the dim light making the smoke swirl like a stale mist around four men seated at a square table. A dark elf sits on one side, rolling a pair of dice around in his palm as he narrows his eyes and studies the others: a sylvan, a halfling, and a human. The vision grows dim. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! Your voice rises, urging the images to remain strong. The scene blurs, then as it clears you see the four men in the midst of a game of dice. The human rolls, scowling as he clearly does not get the roll he had hoped for. He pushes the last of a small pile of coins toward the dark elf. "You know that's not nearly what you owe me," the elf says somberly. The human glances at him, his eye twitching nervously. "I'm good for it, Ylzar. I swear I am!" The dark elf scowls, and turns toward the Sylvan. "Roll them." With a shift of his weight, the sylvan rolls the dice, staring as they stop. The vision grows dim. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! Once again the dim, smoky room emerges behind your eyes. The halfling is shaking a pair of dice frantically, his eyes darting to the dark elf again and again. You notice the sylvan, his head on his arms on the table, barely moving, the coins that had been near him gone, while the dark elf's pile of silver towers. "Roll them!" The halfling gives a startled squeak and tosses the dice onto the table. His eyes grow wide as they tumble, and his face grows pale as they stop. He slides the last of his silvers to Ylzar with a trembling hand. The vision grows dim. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! Unable to stop the barrage of song coming from your lips, you sing louder, coaxing the dice to give up the rest of their tale. The vision returns, but the dark elf is on his feet, his arms raised in the air. He chants cryptic words as the others stare at him in terror, whimpering, imploring him to stop. Their abject pleas fall on deaf ears as Ylzar throws his arms in the air and screams out. "It is the final time, you miserable wretches! You will never play me for a fool again!" The vision grows dim. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now! With the last of your breath, you force your aching voice to continue. You see the dark elf Ylzar standing alone near the table, three sets of dice nonchalantly tumbling over one another in his palm. An almost imperceptible smile, touches his lips. He clenches his fist around the dice, and spectral light oozes from between his fingers. "Your souls then, if not your silvers," he whispers toward the dice as he laughs softly. The vision grows dim.
