Revision as of 20:00, 20 September 2019
Black thorns are items in the Temphere game universe.
Uses
The exact purpose of the black thorns is unknown. They are known to be magical, and possibly in some sense alive, capable of sprouting monstrous plant matter and generating multiple smaller plant-based monsters to defend themselves. There are two known kinds of thorns, one giant- large enough that it needs to be held in two hands- and the other small enough to hold in one hand, but still noticeably oversized even from a distance. Apparently Kyodohr, the god of forests, despises the thorns.
Appearance
The thorns are known to be quite large, and black.
In-Story
When Cree cast identify on a scarecrow that had been animated, she got the sense of some sort of malicious presence possessing it. Upon searching the scarecrows after they were defeated, she found one of the littler black thorns.
Of the giant versions, two so far are known about. The first was planted in a rose bush in the garden of Valanthe Liadon, where it grew a massive monster rose with sharp teeth. The garden was filled with other aggressive plant life, all of the satyr gardeners were mind-controlled to serve the rose, and the dimensional barrier between Temphere and the Feywilde was weakened throughout the garden. Once the rose was defeated, all of these abnormalities were resolved and it left behind the inert thorn.
The second one is presently still at large. It was buried in the forest outside of the city of Penvost, where it was found by T'hamil and taken to his hut. He was overwhelmed by a sensation of hatred that he attributed to the god Kyodohr, and attempted to destroy the thorn by calling lightning. The spell didn't work, and the thorn sprouted vines and fled, leaving behind thorny monsters to slow pursuers. It escaped into a crossover to the Frostfell, forcing the party to chase it down. They eventually managed to defeat the vine monster when it was cornered by an army of kuo-toa and sahuagin. The fish men wanted to thorn for unknown purposes, but the party was able to escape with it. As of yet it is not known to have caused any disruptions to the planar barrier, or to have thralled anyone. This could be because those qualities were exclusive to the rose, or because it just hadn't had the chance yet.
