Aurelics
These artifacts are physical fragments of the Aureliate
gods and imbue those who wield them with incredible
power. They can be given to any mortal champion or
not — and sometimes stolen from them — though only
the truly devout can make use of them. The Divine Items
section provides more detailed information on Aurelics,
which make use of the envoy, herald, and champion ranks
to determine their breadth of abilities.

Divine Conflicts
Many adventures involving the Aureliate stem from their
opposing domains and interests, from the world-ending
to the extremely trivial. The Aureliate Adventure Hooks
table offers some suggestions for starting a game with an
Aureliate presence. Each god’s respective sections also
provide deity-specific quests.

Weapon (dagger), artifact (requires attunement)
This stylus-like dagger is a fragment of Arathin the Sleeper Eulogy

indiscriminate, driven to collect any available knowledge

the hands of unguided champions, it has taken countless
lives in its quest — for better or for worse.
To attune to this dagger, you must use it to write a down
