Make Room for More Runes!

Black Steel Rune Armband (#10/30, #222/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a pair of armbands made from black steel, inscribed with runes in the language of the Demons' Voice. Any Lesser Demon that is normally vulnerable to normal weapons, who wears these runic armbands, instead only can be wounded by silver, blessed or enchanted weapons. These effects are applicable to anyone who wears these armbands, but because of their demonic nature, wearing them is an evil act.

Carved Rune Stick (#11/30, #223/365) [EA:V2] (Trinket)

This is a long pointed stake carved with runes in the Dwarf or Northmen languages, painted in blue and yellow hoops. While it lacks any innate magic of its own, the stick can be used to slay vampires, once distracted by garlic or a crucifix, by driving it through the undead creature's chest, killing the Vampire instantly. Vampires in polar regions such as the Freezeblood Mountains, are surprisingly common, although generally only active in the darker winter months, perhaps as an undead remnant of the ancient civilization of the Ice Ghouls, and it is thought these Carved Rune Sticks are made to combat such horrors. Indeed, it is rumoured one was deployed recently by a lucky adventurer to slay the vampiric Snow Witch Shareella in her lair within the Crystal Caves of the Icefinger Mountains.

Dark Elf Rune Dagger (#12/30, #224/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a curved dagger made from black steel and inscribed with runes in the language of the Dark Elves. Once per day, this dagger will have the same effect as the Poison spell (see Advanced Fighting Fantasy, p. 78) for the duration of one combat. They are much sought after by assassins and the like on the surface world, but their use is generally considered to be an evil act.

Polished Runeshield (#13/30, #225/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a large heavy shield, etched with strange runes all around its edge, and polished so much one can see their reflection in the shield's surface. Using this magnificent shield in combat allows one to add one to their Armour Roll. In addition, the reflective surface of the shield acts as a mirror when facing dangerous creatures such as Basilisks, Gorgons, and Medusae.

Rune-Inscribed Wheel-Hub (#14/30, #226/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a bronze metal rondel that covers the wheel hubs of a war-chariot's wheels. It is inscribed with runes and glows with a pale luminescence. It automatically causes Fear, as per the spell (see Advanced Fighting Fantasy, p. 73), to all Elves. Any chariot bearing such items gains a +4 bonus to their attacks versus any Elf units in battle, and any unit defeated by chariots with Rune-Inscribed Wheel-Hubs is automatically routed. The secret of their manufacture has been lost to the mists of time but some were known to be used by the Skeleton Man warrior-priest of the evil god Glund, known as Syzuk the Devastator, in his military campaigns against the Wood Elves of Khul.
