| | This Kiira lore gem is a half inch diameter brilliant white diamond with a light blue tint, cut with facets to display a seven pointed star. Unlike typical Kiira, the spells used to create the Khilat Kiira provide an inner fire of silvery blue light that sheds a pale radiance in the dark, unless the gem is hidden. |

| ==== Disguise ==== | | === Heritage Detection === |
| A unique feature developed and added to many Khilat Kiira.
| |
| * Alter Self
| |
| * Change Self
| |
| * Disguise (1/week)
| |
| ==== Memories ====
| |
| In addition to fragments of memories, the Kiira can store 10 vivid memories, up to an hour each. Memories are automatically recorded during periods of intense emotion, such as grief, fear, anger, or exhilaration.
| |
|
| |
|
| | === Shape Shifting === |
|
| |
|
| # Lady [[Lyassa Khilat]] – Lady Lyassa performs a high magic ceremony while the Great Wyrm [[Khilat]] ascends and binds his spirit into [[Ar'Gisir'Khilat]]. The trapped spirit of his dragon mate Halel is freed and bound into Ar'Gisir'Khilat as well, but without the ability to manifest magic power. This ended centuries of the silver dragon's patriarchy.
| | The kiira can meld into the wearer's forehead as typical of an elven Tel'Kiira. The kiira can be displayed on the wearer's forehead at will, but such displays are considered in very poor taste, except in the most personal and formal settings. The kiira also appears after the death of its wearer. |
| # Lord [[Timmor Khilat]] – Lord Timmor participates in a Lythari ritual and transformations into a Lythari.
| |
| # Lord [[Elnan Khilat]] – Lord Elnan finds and recovers the long lost Moonblade from the den of the Lythari and is found worthy to wield it.
| |
| # Lord [[Oloros Khilat]] – The fall of Myth Drannor and the heroics of Josidiah Starym and those he leads into battle, including the final battle of Oloros as he was overwhelmed by daemons.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== Spells ====
| | The wearer can ''Alter Self'' at will as per the spell. The wearer can change size up to 50%. If the form assumed includes gills, then the wearer can breathe under water for the duration of the altered form. A form with wings can fly at 1/3rd the speed with a lose of 2 maneuverability classes. |
| The Kiira has various memories of spells, including access to linked Kiira, so that spell casters can learn 1d6+1 spells per year. Learning a spell is somewhat like spell research, requiring the wearer to put all the memory fragments together into a working spell, but without the need to experimentation and research. | |
|
| |
|
| In addition to new spells, 1d4 variants of know spells can be learned per year. Variants break out as follows:
| | ==History== |
| * 50% of variants will be inferior to current know versions of spells.
| | Owned by: [[Chiliad Khilat]] |
| * 20% will have a personalized presentation with no functional changes that serves as a wizard's signature or calling card. Presentation variants usually have a visual nature such as mists, faerie fire glows of specific colors, or sparks, but can be based on sound, smell, temperature or other sensory perceptions.
| |
| * 20% will trade improvements in one aspect (range, duration, speed, components) of the spell for a reduction in another aspect. For example, taking 2 segments longer to cast to increase duration for 2 additional rounds.
| |
| * 10% will have an improved feature of the spell, typically in one of the aspects above but sometimes in the way the spell behaves.
| |
| | |
| The maximum number of spells that can be learned from the Kiira is 4d10 + 1d6 for every linked Kiira. Subsequent direct access to a linked Kiira provides it's typical 4d10 spells minus the 1d6 already gained through the link.
| |
| | |
| Once learned, spells are typically written to a spell book, including the Kira's spellbook function. Spells can be memorized directly from the Kiira, taking 1 day per spell level of the spell being memorized, during which time no other spells can be memorized.
| |
| | |
| ===== Spellbook =====
| |
| The kiira can store formula for spells as a spellbook storing up to 300 spell levels. Spells can be erased and replaced by the wearer.
| |
| | |
| Spells current saved to the spellbook are as follows:
| |
| # Cantrip, Charm Person, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Identify, Magic Missile, Phantasmal force, Read Magic.
| |
| # Alter Self, Continual Light, Improved Phantasmal Force, invisibility, Knock, Locate Object, Magic Mouth, Wizard Lock.
| |
| # Dispel Magic, Fireball, Item, non-Detection, Secret Page, Spectral force, Tongues, Wraithform.
| |
| # Dimension Door, Emotion, Fire Trap, Ice Storm, Improved Invisibility, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, polymorph Self, Stoneskin.
| |
| # Advanced Illusion, Conjure elemental, Contact Other Plane, Dream, Extension II, Fabricate, Major Creation, Teleport.

| |
|
| |
|
| ==== Skills ==== | | Following practices to create kiira for the Draconic progenitors of the [[House of Khilat]], this Kiira was created with a modified High Magic ritual of Lalyshae’Seldar’Wihylos (Sacraments of Seldarine Blessing). The master crafted gem was bathed in [[Draconic Moonfire]]. The complete ritual produced a kiira with powers that included a blank Selu'Kiira, a [http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17590 thaelkiira], shape alteration and heritage detection. |
|
| |
|
| ===== Kits =====
| | After the initial ritual, [[Ary'a'sum]] used a wish to enhance the mantle to allow each owner to add a unique power. Adding a power to the mantle results in the permanent loss of one hit point. |
| The kiira can teach the skills associated with any of the following kits by the next level advancement, if the wearer has an eligible class and has not taken a kit. Alternately, they may learn to mimic any of the following kits by learning the associated proficiencies, without receiving the special benefits or hinderances, except those that are purely social in nature based on perceived status.
| |
|
| |
|
| * Warrior
| | [[Sultaasarn]] used a wish to bind the gem to the [[House of Khilat | Khilat]] Moonblade [[Teuvel'Khilat]]. |

| ===== Proficiencies =====
| |
| Over a period of time the wearer can learn proficiency in a fighting techniques, fighting style specializations, or sword specializations where the wearer is already proficient. Non-fighters can practice and gain weapon specialization. Time to acquire each proficiency is typically two months while actively training or using the weapons skills. If the wearer already has specialization in one of the weapons, then the next level of specialization is granted.
| |
| | |
| * Spell Casting
| |
| ** Bladesong - the ability to cast spells with somatic components using one hand. Performing strictly defensive melee moves will not spoil the spell casting.
| |
| ** Swordcasting - the ability to cast spells without somatic components, through the sword, delivering the effects on a successful hit. The spell typically delivers a one time bonus of extra damage by touch, though other spells may enhance the blade for an extended period.
| |

| * Combat
| |
| ** Blind Fighting, Ambidexterity.
| |
| | |
| * Non-Weapon

| === Mantle ===
| |
| [[Glaeth Khilat | Glaeth]] initially wore the thaelkiira and augmented it at each level. The powers of the mantle are transferred to each owner who successfully passes an intelligence check for the Kiira. The powers of the mantle are fairly set, and any attemp to enhance it with a new power runs the risk of destroying the gem, but the wearer can replace an existing spell of the mantle with another of the same level with minimal risk, and if the spell is of the same general nature then no risk at all. In this way, almost all of the mantle spells contain minor variations from the standard versions, providing small benefits.
| |
| | |
| * ''Detect Draconic Heritage'' 10' radius - the mantle has the power to detect creatures with dragon heritage if that heritage is sufficiently strong enough to activate magic items restricted to dragon kind, or to express a Draconic trait.
| |
| ** Kiira wearer can make an intelligence check to see if they can determine the strongest dragon type in the bloodline. The wearer can determine Silver, Shadow or Deep heritage with +2 on the attemp, and can detect any other type if there has been a personal encounter with a dragon of that type while wearing the Kiira, and the kind of dragon was clearly identified during the encounter.
| |
| * ''Drawmij's Instant Summons'' allows the sword to be summoned to the wielder's hand or the Kiira to the sword upon the death of the wielder. 1/day
| |
| | |
| Activating the mantle for a 24 hour period requires the owner to pay with a hit point which is temporarily lost. Offensive spells are activated at will, once per day. Protective and defensive spells will activate automatically on a set condition or at will, three times per day. Utility spells are available at will, three times per day.
