The Banner of Titans (#19/30, #171/365) [EA:V2] (Artefact) 

"The Banner of Titans has been the battleflag of Amarillia since the reign of the son of Braxus. It was found in one of the giant caves in the Blackstone Hills, and was believed to have been the banner of a long extinct race of Titans. The strange thing about the banner was that it had not faded or frayed with the passage of time, and looked as though it had just been woven.

Its real benefit, however, was not discovered until after a border skirmish with a band of Orcs. A general, and good friend of the king, had been struck down by an arrow from one Orc's bow. When the king went to his side, he saw that there was little hope. He took the Banner of Titans and spread it over his friend, to comfort him. In less than a minute, the general's wounds were healed and he was able to rejoin his soldiers.

 Although only used on rare occasions, the healing powers of the Banner saved the lives of two kings in later years."

- Casket of Souls by Ian Livingstone (1987), p. 28

This is a brown flag of unknown fabric, untouched by time, and decorated with a simple silver and gold runic inscription. It is stretched across a wooden frame and attached to a carved wooden pole, to be used as a battleflag by the Amarillian army. The flag itself has two major properties:

- If removed and wrapped around a sick or injured person, it will cure them instantly of all wounds, diseases or poisons, and restore their STAMINA to its starting score. It will not cure insanity, raise the dead, prevent someone dying of old age, or cause limbs or organs to regenerate. This power works once per day.

- The runes on the flag radiate a spell that melts the putrid flesh of the Undead. Any Undead within five metres of the flag loses 1-3 STAMINA per Attack Round until either dead or fleeing beyond the artefact's range of effect. This power is always on.

In later years the Banner of Titans was converted into a tablecloth of sorts by someone unacquainted with its history, but its magic still worked as Prince Tallis and Princess Tasha, along with their guardian Lorenzo used it to escape Kraal's castle on Lizard Island when it was attacked by an army of Zombies. Since then it has disappeared and it is actively sought by not-so extinct Titans from the sister-world of Allansia who would like their great treasure returned. Some say it was stolen by Garjana Grimgaze the Gorgon Queen and spirited off to the Plane of Rust, in the Demonic Pit, but these are idle speculations at best, to be sure.
