1d8 Random Alien Treasures of The Underworld Table For Your Old School Campaign

When the empire of Atlantis sank beneath the waves the spirits of the citizens were ripped from reality & thrown into the Underworld. There are treasures & relics left behind by the spirits, ghosts, & specters of the ancient dead. Dungeons often have connections & entrances into the Underworld, these spirits leave these relics behind to form a connection to reality.



These relics are often very valuable to necromancers, dark wizards, & evil cultists. Many of these artifacts retain the negative planar signatures of the Underworld these relics often have an aura similar to many illusions of valuable treasures or relics. Anyone catching sight of these relics for 1d8 rounds the victims will have to save vs wands or they may develop an unhealthy obsession with these items.
Many kings or governments have inner court inquisitors who specialize in these types of objects because these objects can be used in rites of foreseeing the future or rituals for contacting the dead.


Some of these relics count as cursed items, they have incredible echoes & auras of Death about them. These items turn up again & again by circumstance or coincidence into the PC's possession. A remove curse spell will remove the cursed legacy of these items.

Between us lies an ancient fear;
Before me, in thy troubled eyes,
A shadow flees as flees the nymph,
Tremulous with the faun's surprise.

Hard silence like a stifling hand
Withholds the word we fain would say;
Over us lies the dreamt caress
Transfixèd with a dear dismay.
