Orb of Dragonkind: It is written that when certain of the good deities
conspired to devise means to easily control the evil dragons plaguing
mankind, demon servants of evil changed the magical forces involved so
as to include all of dragonkind and then caused the Orbs fashioned to
have inimical properties as well. In all, 8 globes of carven white iode were
made, 1 each for each age in a dragon's life span. The smallest is but 3
inches in diameter, the largest is about 10 inches across. Each is covered
with bas reliefs of entwined dragons of all sorts, the whole being of
incredible hardness, and somehow imprisoning the very essence of 011
dragons. The 8 different Orbs are:

Notes Regarding Orbs of Dragonkind: All of these Orbs have a strong
component of evil, and a neutral or good character will have to save
versus magic to resist charming a neutrol/good dragon. Charm range is 5"
and requires 1 full round with the subject fully awake and aware of the
character. Because of the original purpose, only evil dragons are automotically
charmed, neutral dragons save at -4 on their dice, good dragons
at -2. Charmed characters can be considered as possessing 50% of their
normal wisdom with respect to an Orb of Dragonkind. Any possessor with
feeblemind affecting him or her, or insane, will have 3 intelligence, or
50% of normal, respectively. The Orb can control only an active ond awoke
mind. Destruction of a character will typically be by sacrifice to a dragon, if
one is at hand, otherwise by the most sure and expeditious method.
