The Black Rose

Wonderous Item

Legends say that the throne room of Vita in the halls of the dead is decorated with black roses. The most popular belief is that the roses represent the souls of fallen warriors and heroes that Frigus has deemed worthy as gifts to his wife. Some scholars believe that this detail was added to myth's later though and is more a part of folklore than fact.

A curious passage discovered by the Elves deep in their archives seems to imply that at least one of these roses exists in the world of man. The few pages of the journal found had clearly been water damaged and only a few things could be read. The passage mentions that the expedition found a cave with a Black Rose under a case of glass, but that they did not touch the rose because of a warning written in the old tounge of the elves. There is no mention of who they party was, where they were, only that they left the cave and sealed it behind them."Directory"
