Teuvel'Kiira'Khilat - Mantle

From House of Khilat

This Kiira lore gem is a quarter inch diameter star sapphire of brilliant blue hue with a six pointed silver star gleaming from its center. 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, endless the gem is hidden.

Powers

Mantle

Elian 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

Rite

Lord Elian gathered 3 Starsingers and 7 Knights of the 7th Order of the Seven Sacred Mysteries, along with the silver dragon Khilat. The ceremony was held in an ancient moon temple high in the Star Mounts, under a bright full moon and clear sky in a field of Motes of Moonlight and a Moonbeam spell. The Starsingers called Moonfire onto the alter to bathe Lord Elian and the sword. Each of the knights called forth Moon Blade spells in the shapes of their preferred swords and dubbed Lord Elian and the Moonblade which absorbed each of the seven Moon Blade spells. Lord Elian cast Detect Spirits at the same moment his own spirit was bound to the blade and he watched it pass into the moonstone.
