Introduction
“I know of a certain beholder who likes to think he holds
the market when it comes to arcana. A ‘Guide to
Everything’? I don’t see a single word on the topic of
interplanar travel or the effects of wyrmroot on the mind of
a young dragon. How can a creature who sees the world
through a crystal ball possibly know everything? Luckily,
you have me to fill in the gaps.”

– High Wizard Zendrick, to the Neverwinter Academy

graduating class of 1352 DR.

A Search for Knowledge

Zendrick was once a bright-eyed young elf, taken with the
idea of saving villages and plundering the dark depths of a
dragon’s lair. When he came of age, he joined up with an
adventuring party and set out. During the years he spent
exploring the world, he learned secrets that couldn’t be
found in any library on Faerûn.
Realizing his death would mean the end of that
knowledge, Zendrick settled down in Neverwinter and
taught at the Neverwinter Academy. During the
graduation ceremony in1372 DR, the academy was
attacked. When Zendrick ran out of spells to sling, and he
was cornered by his would-be assassins, a spark of magic
ignited within Zendrick. With a flash of blue light, he
found himself transported to an entirely different world.
Zendrick had been given a gift. He had the ability to
travel to worlds that couldn’t be reached by conventional
magic. With endless new worlds to explore, Zendrick set
out on a new search for knowledge.
Within this supplement, you’ll find some of the cool
and strange enchanted items that Zendrick encountered
during his days as an adventurer. Some, he found in a
forgotten desert tomb or an underwater city. Some, he
enchanted himself. But each one is ready for a new owner.

From the Author

If you’re like me, then you have a love for magic items as
strong as a dragon’s love for gold. The items in Xanathar’s
Guide to Everything are unique, silly, and useful if you
know how to get creative. However, it only contained 45
new items, and I wanted more. So, I took it upon myself to
design…a few more.
So, without further ado, I bring to you 100 new common
magic items to use in your campaign. They’ve been
reworked and revised, so these new items can be given
freely as rewards to your players without unbalancing your
carefully crafted world.
Hopefully, your players love them as much as I do.
