A dwarven lodestone - TALISMAN INFO LODESTONE
- Purchasable in Delos for 300 bound credits.
- DROPping this lodestone in a mine you own will cause all miners in that mine to have increased experience gain.
- This does not apply to soldiers, only to miners.

A shamanistic rattle - TALISMAN INFO RATTLE
- Purchasable in Delos for 400 bound credits.
- This rattle gives one a limited amount of control over the weather.
- Simply by SHAKEing RATTLE, a random weather effect will take place.
- These range from rainstorms, to conjured snowstorms, to the very rare (and best avoided) lightning strikes.
- Themed after the atavian race.
A collapsible catapult - TALISMAN INFO CATAPULT
- Purchasable in Delos for 900 bound credits.
- These marvels of siege weaponry were popularly used by the legendary Mercenaries of Arn.
- SETUP CATAPULT will set this weapon up in a room.
- Then anyone may ENTER CATAPULT to climb into the basket, at which point the owner may FIRE CATAPULT <direction>, launching that person in the given direction.
- Where they come down is completely random (and is sure to be unpleasant for your wayward volunteer), but it is based on the area of the direction you fire in.
- Think of the possibilities!
- If you've ever struggled to infiltrate enemy cities, you can now do it in style.
- This talisman is themed for the troll race.
A blood daubed cloth of whispers - TALISMAN INFO WHISPERCLOTH
- This item is not available in the Delosian talisman shop.
- When wearing this cloth, the next time you slay an adventurer there will be absolutely no deathsight.
- This cloth is only good for one use an hour.
- Themed for the rajamala race.
A demolition sphere - TALISMAN INFO DEMOLITIONSPHERE
- Purchasable in Delos for 800 bound credits.
- ACTIVATE SPHERE to destroy all ice, stone, and lightwalls in a location.
- These spheres have five charges and regenerate one charge per hour.

A piece of horkval chitin - TALISMAN INFO CHITIN
- Purchasable in Delos for 500 bound credits.
- This fragment of chitin will allow you to tap into a hivemind, granting the ability to siphon your endurance to another adventurer.
- HIVE SIPHON <amount> TO <person>.

A flattened frogskin - TALISMAN INFO FROGSKIN
- Purchasable in Delos for 1200 bound credits.
- This somewhat odd collectable allows one to FORM BUBBLE when underwater.
- This will create a bubble around that person, granting the racial regeneration that grooks enjoy.
- For as long as the bubble is present, it will also act as if you are in a water body for the purposes of said regeneration.
- However, if your health dips below half, the bubble will burst, and you will need to return to an underwater location to re-establish it.
- Themed for the grook race.
A pernicious pair of Dala'myrr claws - TALISMAN INFO DALAMYRRCLAWS
- This item is not available in the Delosian talisman shop.
- These deadly claws function similarly to wolverine claws in that they grant the ability to burrow.
- However, they have different tunnelling messages, and upon burrowing below and above, rubble will be created in the entry and exit rooms, blocking a random exit.
- Themed for the xoran race.
Bottled siren song - TALISMAN INFO SIRENSONG
- Purchasable in Delos for 700 bound credits.
- OPEN BOTTLE and all in your current location will cease to consider you a personal enemy.

- Themed for the siren race.
Crystalline panpipes - TALISMAN INFO PANPIPES
- Purchasable in Delos for 600 bound credits.
- These mysterious panpipes allow one to PLAY PANPIPES <dream>.

- Themed for the satyr race.
An arachnid's eye - TALISMAN INFO ARACHNIDEYE
- Purchasable in Delos for 300 bound credits.
- The spider mounts of the ancient Tsol warriors were ferocious in battle.

- A mount that has been fed an eye will gain the ability to TRAMPLE <target>, a targeted single person attack that shall break two random limbs on a target and deal some damage.
- This does not require the target to be prone like standard trample, but does require you to possess the TRAMPLE ability in Riding to utilise.
- Note: this item is consumed on use.
- Themed for the Tsol races.
A figurine of the suffering Maya - TALISMAN INFO MAYAFIGURINE
- Purchasable in Delos for 2500 bound credits.

Partial Completions
--------------------
If you have two or three pieces of a talisman in the historical set you can
TALISMAN COMPLETE PARTIAL <talismanname> to complete it for the remainder
of the bound credit value of the item as it is in the Delosian Talisman shop.
DOING THIS WILL COMPLETE THE TALISMAN AND BIND IT TO YOU.
Talismans completed in this manner will have an altered tradein that
reflects its credit worth, including the credit purchased completion.
I.E
You have: cruciblebase and cruciblebowl.
You use TALISMAN COMPLETE PARTIAL CRUCIBLE and pay 500 bound credits.
This is half the cost of the crucible in the shop because you already
have half of the pieces.
You get: a completed soulfire crucible talisman.
This item has a tradein value of: 346 bound credits.
This is 2/3rds of 520 credits (The 500 credits paid above, plus your 2
pieces valued at 10 credits each.)
