Enchanted Helms


Helms are the primary method of powering Aerial / Celestial Flyer Vessels. Simply put, a helm is a magical device which channels magical energy from a some source into motive force for the ship it's attached to. Some helms operate on slightly different principles but these are few and rarely seen in the Known Spheres.

There are several different types of helms of varying types and abilities. I list the types most common within the Known spheres below, and the "standard cost" for such a helm in an active Celestial Flyer port like the Rock of Bral or Refuge. Note that in other places the price quickly becomes what the market will bear and thus can drop or rise considerably.

Furnace Helm

Cost: 1,000,000

These Helms can travel at Celestial Speed for ships up to 500 SJ tons in size. The magical item is placed within the furnace where it is consumed by fire. Anyone can then pilot the furnace helm. Some goblinoids are rumoured to power their furnaces with an incendiary, magical fuel. Some think this fuel might be related to smokepowder in some way but reliable reports are rare.

Greater Minor Helm

Cost: 1,500,000

These are the most common helms in space, drawing their power from the spell energy of their helmsman (a spellcasters loses all memorized spells when they touch helm). Minor helms can move vessels at Celestial Speeds. They will power vessels up to 1000 tons in size.

Greater Major Helm

Cost: 2,500,000

These function just like minor helms but will power vessels up to 2,000 tons in size.

Come on folks ... I know some of you are needing magical supplies

Third : Reverse Engineering of any equipment found here is strictly forbidden / opens you to legal concerns and / or military action


OOC: This would be much more of a problem if you weren't just ripping off Spelljammer/D&D, a system that's been used by other nations (springing to mind immediately is Giltheran, currently dead though it is) before. If, admittedly, with some dodgy looking prices.

Oh so you are saying that I ripped him off ... I have been playing NS for quite a while now and playing DND since it's conception so deal with it or if you wish you could attack me ... but that might be a mistake on your part.

Err... What? Could you restate that in a readable format? My point was you're not in a position to complain about other people 'reverse engineering' your stuff because it's already fairly common. It's like making one of these storefronts and saying 'No one can reverse engineer my T-34, even though there's a hundred other storefronts selling it, and everyone already knows how to make one.'

Yes and like everyone else I include it in my storefront just because ...

One of these days I hope to be able to afford some programs that would allow me to accually build my own designs from the ground up. When that happens then I WILL be enforcing my patients. Up to this point I have not gone after anyone to enforce the no resale rule. So why don't you give a little credit for that instead of complaining on my storefront. Do you know what a TG is and what it can be used for?

There is one part of that statement that I will enforce now though. Which is that you ask? The part about using anything bought at my storefront against me or my allies.

I have been playing ...DND since it's conception...

If you're under 40 years old, then no, you haven't. The game of Dungeons and Dragons has been around quite a while. As someone who HAS been playing the game since it's first public release in 1974, I figured I'd inject a bit of reality into the thread.

Your above list of basic offerings is blatantly copied from the 3(.5)E Player's Handbook, as are the name of your store's proprietor and several of your enchantment offerings. I'm not necessarily condemning that, but perhaps a citation near the end saying something to the effect of "complete descriptions of these items can be found in the AD&D 3(.5)E Player's Handbook" would save you some typing and aid your effort in several other ways.

My birthday is September 7th, 1958 ... you do the math ... hehehe! Now tell me what did that do to your injection of reality.

I did try to make some changes to the DND equivants, however most NS storefronts offer real world items, but change there names or some part of there make up. Finally Amakiir is a Elven name found in the DND Core Books, however Qwia is not. The name Qwia is my exclusive property, because I made it up.

OOC: Very well, I'll ask my next question IC:


A delicately penned Espruar letter in the gold-elf dialect of the Elven language served as a covering letter with a package dispatched to the new magic suppliers’ officies, addressed to the proprietor.

Subject: Some Questions.

Greetings, thank you for expending the time to read this letter, I realise it must be valuable, and I shall see about ensuring that such value is made; to that end, please find enclosed a few volumes of potential interest, firstly, an Sun-Elven-Quenya course and dictionary (which is mostly there for the benefit of the second book, as stylistically the alphabet it describes is, while similar in aesthetics to Espruar, somewhat different) second, a sun-eleven book describing the Sirithilan Notation System, which I thought would likely be of some interest to you, as it is a widespread, here at least, standard language for spell books, scrolls, and various other inscriptions, and generally about the easiest and yet most expressive magical transcription system around that works in two dimensions. There’s both three and four dimensional holographic/illusory-glyph forms, which are only briefly covered by that book, too, and which are correspondingly more precise, I can forward texts covering those as well if you are interested. Thirdly, and perhaps more useful still, is a book covering known alternate magical-item forms and the limits thereof¹, I’ve often used it as a reference (in fact, I’ve added about half a chapter’s material under ‘artefacts’ and ‘wondrous items’ to this edition in correspondence with the author), it also contains an interesting appendix on market values and marketing of arcane devices.

Anyway, returning to my original request, I was wondering whether the ‘bonuses’ described in your catalogue represent ‘simple’ puissance or the aggregated equivalence in expended effort and power combining such effects with brute magical force².

Also, I suggest adding glamered armour to your list of products; it’s rather useful, I’ve generally found, and sells quite well, at least around here. Also, if you like, I can forward you a list of suppliers of various materials that may be of use to you, in Menelmacar, including Mithral, Adamantine and so forth. And more exotic materials³.

Thanks in advance,
Lady Airaheri

OOC notes

¹ If you have it, think ‘Complete Arcane’ Page 137, or a bunch of more unusual ‘variants’ that show up now and then like tattoo magic. There’s much in depth discussion of that sort of thing.
² In other words, is +10 armour an epic magic item with a +10 bonus, or is it effective bonus?
³Including such things as metamagic components (Unearthed Arcana (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/metamagicComponents.htm)) and similar stuff.

Also, is 'Nithral' a typo?

My birthday is September 7th, 1958 ... you do the math ... hehehe! Now tell me what did that do to your injection of reality.

It showed me that you're immature enough to say things that obviously aren't true just to make sure you win. I hope you grow out of that in time.

I am not immature or lieing, I am 48 yrs old. So your little comment of what my age would have to be, has only proven you wrong in your assumption that I was to young to have been involved in DND since it's conception. In that spirit, admit you are wrong, and we can move on to more important things.

So, at your storefront, what would I do if I wanted to order a targe, or a kite shield? Or Brigandine, or Lorica Segmenta? What weapons are available for purchase? Is it possible to use even more esoteric materials, such as those created by molecular compression?

In answering your question concerning the ‘bonuses’ described in my catalogue. These bonuses’ simply gage the level of power of the spell in question that can be placed upon the item when purchased.
Your suggestion of adding glamered armour to my storefront is appreciated and noted, please be assured that I am working hard on new products for my storefront. I will include these armours in my research as I decide what other items I would like to add to my stores offerings.

OCC Notes: I have the Unearthed Arcana by TSR, but I have yet to replace the lost edition of the Complete Arcane. As the Unearthed Arcana I believe is an original or 1st Edition resource book and the Complete Arcane is 2nd Edition Players Handbook Rules Supplement, there could be some differences in description and uses for any magic therein. I would have to research the differences as I now use the 3.5 Edition. However in my storylines as a Dungeon Master I have been known to change rules or powers of certain items if I see a need too. That fact in and of itself could cause some confusion. But to answer your question the +10 bonus was not meant as an Epic Level Spell in my storefront. As Epic levels are normally any level above 20th, then logically anything above 10th level would be where epic levels start for spells and such. Finally Nithral is not a typo, instead it is my word for Mithral.

So, at your storefront, what would I do if I wanted to order a targe, or a kite shield? Or Brigandine, or Lorica Segmenta? What weapons are available for purchase? Is it possible to use even more esoteric materials, such as those created by molecular compression?

OCC: I will be adding more items to my storefront as I get the extra time to do so. However if you wish to purchase something that is not there all you need do is ask me if I can get it for you. If I can't I will refer you to someone who might be able to " AQUIRE IT " for you for the right price. Of course if you know the location of one it would make it easier to aquire. Either could have the makings of a very interesting fantasy thread.

You failed to satisfactorily answer my question. I desire to purchase a Targe. As well as Lorica Segmenta. Is your selection so inadequate that I may not acquire these items?

Uh... maybe some descriptions for us non-DnD nerds?

And it's also rather hard to enforce copyrights on uh, these items; they're not only very common but it's going to be hard for the ESUS to back you up since they're still engaged in a war right now.

Kor's in the ESUS? I don't think he's been associated with us since before I joined, which was at least two years ago...

Really? I thought he was a member still: my mistake. Though this really doesn't help the whole "I WILL PROTECT MY CPed PROPERTA!" any.

You just want a targe? Mother, I could just give you one of those as we have hundreds in our armory. As for the lōrīca segmentāta, Kesshite blacksmiths aren't Roman. They could make a cuirass of metal plates, but even if I explained the design, I doubt they'd get the style right. They're ridged traditionalists when it comes to their craft.

You're killing my fun. And my ability to attempt to broaden his horizons beyond the limited scope of DND. That and I always use a chain hauberk, a backsword, and a targe, or kite shield when I go fantasy. The segmenta is to make a point. EDIT: I could have been a total ass and called it loricated plate, and made him look it up. See how long it took him. Wiki doesn't even have a redirect from lorica segmenta, which is the only way I've ever seen it spelled.

Epic Bonuses in 3.5 start at +5. You're ripping AND brutalizing a crappy supplement to what was a relatively mediocre release of DND. I despise 3.5 with a passion, BTW. 3 ought was much better, and less retarded. You can call it a small greatsword, but it still does fucking longswords damage for chrissakes. Thus it is a longsword, ya sorry sack of shit Wizards of the Coast morons! /end rant.

Ah, now this is starting to make sense. I am sorry I interrupted your fun, but I thought you were serious. I'm quite bad at guessing 'tone.'

What surprises me about Kormanthor is that it's able to both produce magical armors while it's studying temporal manipulations and selling starships. The Kormanthorians must truly be a diverse peoples.

Anyways, I need to do back to violating Kor's copywrite by making my reverse engineered chainmail and shields.

You might read my history and it would explain where my people come from.

Kormanthor’s History

Early History

The Country Of Kormanthor is a mixture of many races that came here from a world called Koril and beyond. Among the original immigrates were two nations of humans; Korilians & Raelians, two sub races of Elves; the Sun Elves & the Avariels or Winged Elves, the Gold Dwarves, & the Golden Dragon kind. The Korilians were natives of the Planet Koril ( which is located within the Taurus Dark Cloud )while the Raelians came to Koril from the Planet Velara in the Pleiades System nearly a century before the migration here started. The Sun Elves came from Kormanthyr & the Avariel from Silverymoon. The Gold Dwarves & the Gold Dragon kind from Unther which are all countries located on Koril. All arrived here by way of magical doorways called Dimensional Doors from Koril after which each race spread out to claim their own sections of our land. We found that the majority of countries on Earth were very far behind the Rael in technological areas and totally unable to cast magic of any kind. This gave us two very important edges on the rest of the new World that we were now a part of.

Pre-Modern Tech History

From the beginning we pooled our abilities for the good of all. After surveying the land and finding that our new land was a very large island continent protected by a ring of coral reef & mountainous terrain we began the task of building our cities and military. Our first defense was the Golden Dragons and there warrior riders, our second defense completed was of Elven High Magic. The Sun Elves placed layers of magical wards around Kormanthor to make it invisible from those who would attack us from sea.
At the same time the Dwarves mined ores and other useful minerals that could be used for industrial applications and built the Dwarven City of Strakeln: Kormanthor’s City of the Under Dark … five miles under Essembra. It was in Strakeln that Deep Kore was founded as our underground military. The ores mined by Strakeln miners enabled the Rael to start building our tech level to include space travel by building our first spacecraft which was called the Pepsikore project because Pepsi Cola decided to invest in the space race.

Modern History

After we finished building our industrial base, we were able to start building weapons that were of superior quality and technology compared to most of our competitors. We continued to enlarge our communities to keep up with population demands while finding new places to spread out too without having to start a war with someone else. It was during this time that we discovered another new nation called Virgin Incursion. Seeing that we had a lot in common we exchanged embassies, signed treaties, and started a new region after the leaders of our old one started getting to greedy. Because of population demands of both nations we decided to build underwater communities, from this effort Aeloularea, the Pearl of Twilight and Eloukorae, Aquatic City of Kormanthor came into being.

Post Modern History

We realized we needed a cheaper way to get building supplies into orbit so we set out to design and build the now famous Space Elevator, as well as early forms of star going battleships to protect our space assets within the sol system. It was during this time that we began buying up space technology from other countries to use for space exploration while we designed our own systems. Teaming up with V.I. again we designed and built first the Asterkore Class Star Base then the first KorIncursion Class Starship.. The prototype of this class starship was the unfortunate ship that discovered the Alien Star City which was inhabited by a race of giant insectoid beings and was nearly destroyed in their successful attempt to gain advanced knowledge from the Aliens database and escape.. Between the knowledge gained from the KorIncursions mission and the knowledge gained at the starship graveyard found by the UTS Celestial Dragon which included a derelict dyson sphere we were able to make another quick advance in technology by reverse engineering all the ships found there. Being that the graveyard was also in easy reach of the Star Cities wormhole entrance we reasoned that the Dyson Sphere had once been a manmade haven for star travelers until it was destroyed by the Star Cites insect-like inhabitants. So we sealed the wormhole to the Star City with Elven High Magic so it could never be used again.

Future Tech History

From the knowledge gained in the starship graveyard we gained many new amazing pieces of equipment, the most amazing of all was the cloaking device that not only makes a ship invisible, but intangible as well. We also found a number of star charts within the wreaks of the graveyard. One of which lead us to a nasty little nebula called a Dark Nebula on the edge of the Milky Way where we discovered the wormhole to a lone solar system in the center of the void between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy. Here we found a civilization of crystallized treelike beings living on one planet and a telekinetic race of giant snails on the another of five planets in that system. While we were there we were first captured by and escaped from the snails alien zoo by first convincing them we were to intelligent to be held as a animal in a zoo, and finally by helping them to capture a member of a race of continent sized beings that lives in the void itself which they wanted to put in there zoo. Because we were also able to find the answer to a sickness that had been plaguing the treelike beings we were shown the coordinates for another wormhole and given the technology for trapping the void creatures.. This second wormhole lead us to a region of space within the Andromeda Galaxy where we made first contact with and became allies of the Triadian Federation where we were given an entire planet to colonize … a planet called Adventura.
Meanwhile another starship, the UTS Silencer … discovered another wormhole near the center of the Milky Way that lead us to an alternate dimension, where we found Earth 5. After a failed attempt to colonize Earth 5 because of a pre warp civilization found there we decided to colonize their version of Mars where we built …“ Ivellios,“ the Cloaked City of Tomorrow, ( which is in reality a domed city sitting on a huge saucer section ) to await the day when Earth 5 is ready for first contact.
Since we are there for the long run anyway, we decided to explore the Milky Way 5 Galaxy. The first place we visited was a Planet Called Dante where we found ourselves in the middle of a full blown galactic war. Lucky for us the technology there was only post modern because while there we monitored a three member team of a group called the Wolf Dragoons hopping from planet to planet destroying enemy strongholds in the inner core of the system to defeat an evil group called the Hand Of Blake that was trying to take over the entire system for themselves.. The final battle was fought on a Planet called Terra where the Mech Warrior of the group took on and beat every mech they threw at him finally ending the war by killing the leader of the Hand Of Blake! This left a fully functional but empty City State on Terra, so after making first contact with the Wolves Dragoons we signed a treaty with the ruling houses of the Inner Sphere, we purchased all the old Hand of Blake bases there and founded the Colony Terra of the Inner Sphere insuring that the Blakes would never return because of technological superiority.
The UTS Silencer returned to Sol space to find it under attack and in danger of being over run by alien invaders. Finally after months of war the invaders were completely defeated by the allied forces defending Earth. One year later the UKS Dark Raven on maneuvers in a distant sector of the Milky Way with the UKS Vindictive & UKS Lexington received an emergency call for help. Eventually working with a group of ships that answered the call they were successful in defending the planet against another invasion attempt. Following this final invasion attempt we returned to Earth to find that a mishap with Elven High Magic had destroyed most parts of the country of VirginIncursion and transformed the survivors into monstrous aboritions. In the years since the destruction of VirginIncursion we have experienced a long period of peace in Galactic terms during which we have return to peaceful exploring, colonization and the design of new technologies such as Nanotech and a Starship capable of Time Travel. If only we could use our newest invention to save VirginIncursion from it’s undeserved fate.
