Item: antique sword, probably cursed; fills rooms with a strange energy and causes holy symbols and idols to twitch peevishly.

…This is probably less impressive in realms where it’s not unusual to have swords that eat souls or burst with black fire or cut through dimensional barriers. Seems to have been cursed by a rather feckless demon, or maybe the Jerry Gergich of warlocks.

Shoes Made from Human Skin

After Big Nose George Parrott was hanged by an angry mob in 1881, Dr. John Osborn took possession of the outlaw’s remains. He studied them, hoping to find a cure for his wife’s criminal insanity, dissecting and experimenting on the corpse for a year.

Osborne became the first

in 1893, and wore his special shoes to his inauguration ball.
