Icarian Blades

A pair of crossed swords with winged tips

The first pair of these mithril scimitars was enchanted for the spoiled son of a corrupt king. When sitting in his garden one day, the boy became enraged as he watched the birds fly overhead, looking down upon him. Days later an edict was issued from the palace, outlawing all avian beasts of any species within the borders of the kingdom, and offering a bounty of five copper pieces on their heads.

Draught of Living Death

Functionally a Potion of Healing for the undead, this foul smelling, green concoction is said to originate in ghoul communities deep in the Underdark. There, it is traded frequently in the street markets and supplied to whatever form of armed forces that the hungering dead can manage to organize.
