1 a gerum is a room-like enclosure, with high walls but often without a ceiling, inside a maze or complex of other such enclosures. Like a cubical, but big and not necessarily quadrangular or perfectly aligned.
Traincrawl is a one dimensional depth crawl by SunderedWorldDM. I'm writing the coldward half of this depth crawl, away from the engine and toward the caboose1, while my Collaborator, whom I have worked with Before will be making the engineward half. The following three tables are depth tables, invented by cavegirl (from whom I have also stolen some entries on these tables). When you enter a new car, roll a d6 on both tables, adding the distance in number of cars from your starting car (so the first car you explore will be +0, the second +1, etc.). Every car has a 2 in 6 chance of being semi-permanently inhabited, and each inhabited car has a 50% chance of having a party and a 50% chance of having a murder mystery. If the car cannot be feasibly inhabited by humans, elfs live there

Wave it around and mountains, rivers, kingdoms, and oceans will rush about to find more stable and auspicious positions. You can move one place to another with some precision, but that shuffles around basically the whole geography. If you do the math you can mitigate consequences.
657 JADE GHOSTS HOOP Opens an unrestricted gate to the underworld, causing numerous ghosts to be ejected due to the underworld's strong spiritual pressure.
172 LYING CRESCENT MOON A bladed crescent with a central handle, an embodiment of the moon on earth. When swung she causes the actual fucking moon to shift around accordingly, and creates pale, swaying phantasms around the wielder with the flashing of her blade. (Varya)
432 WORMS EMANATION LABRYS a labrys which writhes in the grip, sends forth a slice which kills 2/3rds of those it touches.
1A9 SHATTERED RIGHTEOUS WORD Once a rebellious divinity of pride, murdered and broken for their sin. Now thirsts for retribution. Its edge grows sharper by its wielders arrogance- with sufficient self-confidence, could overcome even the god's self-absorbtion- if of course the wielder truly knows themselves as greater. (Fifth)
788 HEAVENGOLD CAULDRON made from the gold which colors the clouds of the celestial realm, if you place an enchantment inside it, the enchantment reduces down to mercury.
595 CELESTIAL AXIS SPEAR This jeweled spear can pierce right through anything, and is unbreakable. In reality it is the celestial official in charge of the axis mundi, in disguise.
404 VIOLENCE UNFOUND An axe which is literally war and blood feuds. Can be made into many, but they don't like. fly around and wield themself. Heavy handed metaphor.
A41 WISDOM STONE yeah this is just an ioun stone. owned by ioun once. you ever notice how everyone in the osr uses the term "ioun stone" but nobody actually uses the god ioun? I think its interesting. Apparently the stones predate the god.
363 NORTHERN RAINS A bow of crystal. Actually, obviously, the Northern Rains. When shot at something, the arrow erodes it as if there had been a torrential flood for weeks.
320 NATURES DANCE HARMONY A bow of rowan. The string vibrates at a frequency that harmonizes with the concept of size, allowing the whole item to grow or shrink when plucked.
Ω95 SELF EMPTYING IRON This dread aspect causes one's flesh to become like iron, and shine like the sun. Its the fusion of yourself with the spirit of Iron Pyramid, a disciple of the enlightened one, and reflects his wisdom.
634 ALL POWER GENERATOR This ring of pearl about a handspan in diameter crackles and gives you vertigo. It can shoot out a beam, the power of which seems to increase each day since you receive it. Its actually the energetic output of the whole universe. Having it actually in the universe is probably gonna get some celestial lawkeepers after you.
90A TEN MACE STRENGTH A mace of bronze. Named so as to give it the power of ten maces. Actually just splits into ten maces.
523 GREAT TREE JAVELIN a very heavy redwood javelin. Actually, you guessed it, a massive redwood tree.
364 PASSIONS AND LONGINGS A very dangerous bow. When shot, causes its target and anywhere between 1 and 1000 bystanders (including oneself) to die. Pious and enlightened folk are immune. No other immunity can stop it.
493 SEVEN MOUNTAINS RANGE A stone axe, sharp and hard. Really a nearby mountain range.
A30 FIVE PHASES CULTIVATION A technique of internal alchemy. By especially positioning elemental energy in your body, you can cause it to feed off each other in a growing and accelerating cycle. The energy provided means the user will no longer need to eat, but imbalance and meltdown at common. Those of exceptional strength may purposefully overclock it to fire devastating beams, but this runs an even higher risk.
