Lost to time are Aeloria's Spheres, a set of seven magical orbs shaped by and imbued with the power of the elements, forged in the heart of the Elemental Convergence. *
"Aeloria stood there, unafraid, her body battered by the roaring storm, the earth beneath her feet trembling with rage, flames danced on her skin while raging waters surged around her feet. It was there, amidst this chaos of nature, that she captured a fragment of each element with the metal spheres she had forged in secret." ~ from Aeloria's Tale, Chapter Sixteen
When used, Aeloria's Spheres can call upon the forces of nature to aid their owner. Flames might engulf their foes, torrents of water might heal their wounds, the earth might shield them from harm, and lightning might strike them with uncanny precision.

Copper Dragons delight in luring adventurers into their territory by letting the sun hit their scales to entice treasure seekers to follow them on a fool's chase.*
"Adventurer, trust me, and stock up on some jokes, riddles and funny stories. They might one day be your only chance to escape from a Copper Dragon's lair."
Most seasoned adventurers abandon their chase as soon as they realize what they're chasing, with only the dragon's booming laughter a reminder of how they avoided certain death. However, bards, with their nigh-endless amount of riddles, jokes and songs, have on average a fair chance enter and leave a Copper Dragon's lair unscathed due to these magical monsters' love of entertainment.

Clad in magic-infused armor bands of Metal Marauders carve their path across the briny expanse.
"Beware the sun's reflection upon men of solemn steel, For they roam the restless waves with nigh-unrelenting zeal. With magic coursing through their veins they plunder and they raid, No mercy in their hearts or minds, no debt is left unpaid. So heed this warning, all those brave enough to sail the sea, Heed the sight of steel and let the Metal Marauders be." ~ Old children's rhyme

This magic silver shield, imbued with the power of nature, protects its wearer by sprouting defensive vines to stop enemies in their tracks.
"When the vines aren't powerful enough to deter an attack, small buds open to reveal red flowers that release a scent powerful enough to put even raging barbarians to sleep."

The Risen, magically created remnants from a war long forgotten, scour Enuria in search of their lost God.
Their white skin, pulled taut over spiked bones, is adorned the blood, both fresh and old, of their slain foes. They have no mouth, just three vertical slits. They lack a nose, and their eyes are four in number, all as black as the heart of Ulyoth, the dead God who supposedly spawned them. No one knows how many there are left. No one knows why they attack one village, then leave the next. All that's known is this:
"Though the stories and legends surrounding The Risen do not tell us of their motives, all of them agree on one thing: When they come for you, you run. You run and you don't look back." ~ Alain Ser Duann, the Queen's Sword Master
