Description

Legend has it that the saliva of a mythical Balaur condensates into precious gemstones that bestow incredible magical properties. Few are those who can boast having witnessed such a wondrous creation, and even fewer are those to have possessed it. Yet none can truly tell why these magnificent gems feature different colors and properties. Some speculate that they vary according to the age of the Balaur that produced them or what it had recently feasted upon. Others trust a legend, which dictates that they gain their color depending on the phase of the moon, when its light first shone upon them. A skilled artisan can attach such a gemstone to a weapon, armor, shield, or other item, in order to enhance its properties. Only a single Balaur gemstone can be attached to a piece of equipment.
