The Marble Compass is an ancient and beautifully crafted trinket used for navigation in the northern lands of Kalamar and the territories of the Silver Dominion. This pathfinder is made from smooth, polished marble, featuring a spherical marble stone at its center, surrounded by a ring of intricately carved marble dials. The compass is imbued with powerful enchantments that allow it to aid its user in locating objects or individuals.
It is valued for both its craftsmanship and its magical utility, typically fetching around 500 gold pieces. Its price can vary depending on the quality of the marble and the intricacy of the carvings.
The Marble Compass hails from a time when the people of Kalamar and the Silver Dominion relied heavily on their craftsmanship and magical prowess to navigate the harsh northern terrains. These compasses were essential for explorers, merchants, and hunters who braved the wilderness in search of resources and new paths. Each compass is a testament to the skill of the northern artisans, combining beauty with practical magic.
Special Features:
- Locate Object or Creature: Once per day, the attuned user can activate the Marble Compass to cast the locate object or locate creature spell without expending a spell slot. This activation causes the dials to illuminate, pointing in the direction of the desired object or creature for up to one hour.
- Directional Illumination: When activated, the dials on the Marble Compass glow with a soft light, clearly indicating the direction of the targeted object or person. This light can pierce through darkness and minor obstructions, making it especially useful in the dense forests and snowy landscapes of the north.
