The Wizard Isn’t Home


The next item in the book is a gem called the Eye of Myr Div. According to the book, this was once the crown jewel of the Baron of Myr Div, but when his throne was taken from him by his bastard daughter, she hewed his skull with an axe breaking the crown and freeing the Eye. It appears to be non-magical. 8 days pass and the Legend Lore spell has a location – an beaten cottage about 180 miles from the old city of Myr Div, in the land of Repere.

The cottage is deep in the woods around a deadly section of hills. It is far away from civilization. Alzar approaches, but there is no sign of life, and the cottage appears healthy. The Gem shows the entire cottage glowing magical.


Alzar finds a shell protecting the cottage from outside, and an antipathy spell forcing people away from it. The combination of these defensive magics have kept it from being raided or looted. Excited by the possibility of finding the unmarred home of a mage, Alzar casts Dispel Magic to bring the protections down as does so. The house ceases to look like magic, and he moves to the door. A Chime of Opening breaks the Wizard Lock on it.
