This list of magical items includes the items from A Catalogue Chimerical separated by category and subcategory.

Compiler’s Note

The items in this catalogue are a selection of the curiosities I have obtained in the service of my fact finding mission for our most holy and sacred duty to the Great Treatises. Each of them, now that I have studied them, annotated them, and written an initial analysis of them, is available for purchase. If you forward the item and votive ink required for its purchase with a courier, the item will be sent to your specified address as usual for further study and analysis. I apologize in advance for the peculiarity and heresy described herein; the Pentolans are, on the whole, a less than enlightened people and much of what they produce is worthy of study if only for how bizarrely content they are with violating the sacred principles.

Many of the items herein have perplexingly realistic depictions on them; while sometimes their work is pleasing to the eye, most often it frustratingly attempts to capture what Pentolans describe as the “truth of the world” instead of a holy abstract or geometric representation of it. Luckily, you do not (largely) need to find yourself exposed to much soft art in this particular Catalogue. I do not mind telling you that such has been unfortunately inescapable in this city.

If you find the names of these items quaint or even heretical, I apologize; I have merely recorded them with the name by which they were sold or donated.

A final note: while I would love to be able to authenticate Runes of Integrity, this is not possible for most of these “works” as their artisan is either uninterested or unknown. A shame, perhaps, but these curios are, after all, largely heresy.

I look forward to your correspondence.

In accordance with the Great Treatises,

Temzen Horizon

Archivist’s Note

This catalogue is written from the perspective of Temzen Horizon, an investigative scribe of the Aydinlar. The Aydinlar have maintained their status as the nominal suzerains of Pentola; they’re a complex theobureaucracy which still maintains a palatial embassy in the city as a center of learning, medicine, aid, and watchful agents. Temzen was an investigative scribe tasked with analyzing and cataloguing the artisanry of Pentola to further their people’s understanding of The Great Treatises, their countless set of holy tomes.

This copy of the catalogue was left to Temzen’s Pentolan lover, Luca Boccasavia. It has been annotated by Temzen as marginalia and serves as their honest reflection on the items in the catalogue. In Luca’s will, it was given to our archive with the express instructions that it may not be released for one hundred and one years after their death. We have preserved it as exactingly as possible, merely translating it to the modern tongue. We hope you find this curio valuable and interesting in your own research.

The prices listed in this catalogue are given in vestive ink, the holy and standard currency of the Aydinlar, measured as:

• a start, which is an amount of ink when a pen is lightly touched to a page,
• a glyph, which is an amount of ink used to write a single character of the Writers’ language,
• a prayer, which is an amount of ink used to write out the first sentence of the first Great Treatise,
• or a vial, which is an amount of ink filling a whole bottle.

For contextualizing these prices for modern folk, one hundred starts is roughly the cost of a good dagger; there are 30 starts to a glyph, 300 glyphs (or 9,000 starts) to a prayer, and 150 prayers (or 45,000 glyphs, or 1,350,000 starts) to a vial.
