Sigil of Odin

Level 4 artifact

By Kirstin A. Hargie (kiri@sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu) (27 June 1995)

The Sigil of Odin is a small disc made of an unknown metal. Odin's likeness is carved upon the face, with the reverse side bearing a Norse ship. It is rumored that Odin himself carved 10 Sigils, of which only 5 still remain in the hands of active wraiths.

Once the appropriate incantation is said, Odin's Sigil will glow and a high pitched sound will emit from the bow of the Norse ship. If the bearer is within the Tempest, an unmanned barge will approach which will take the bearer anywhere within the Tempest. If the bearer is within the Shadowlands, the Sigil will glow, and the wraith will find themselves transported to the Tempest where the barge will appear.

Possession of the Sigil is forbidden to all except Odin's descendents or their emissaries.
