Each item has been converted with the utmost care and precision so you can feel confident that its inclusion will enhance your game. 

Faerûn is soaked in magic. From the lowliest cantrip to the mightiest, worldchanging spell, magic threads its way through the lives of even the most mundane denizen of the Forgotten Realms. 

Magical objects range from simple trinkets, like a pair of slippers that magically keep your feet warm, to unfathomable artifacts capable of bending if not shattering the very fabric of space and time.

In Faerûn, heroes quest for magic, either to keep it themselves to aid them in their adventures or to seize it from the hands of a nefarious villain. Other books in this series detail items suitable for heroes. This book takes a different tack: It gives you an assortment of thoroughly evil items, foul things that only the most despicable villain would find attractive, meant for the discerning and calculating Dungeon Master to season a campaign with repulsive flavor. 

Villains employ the same magic items available to heroes. Villains also use magic items that only appeal to wicked people, those who dominate, horrify, or peel the skin off other people while they're still alive. These items and abilities, while not necessarily evil themselves, are ideally suited to evil use.

If my experience is anything to go by, players of all alignments will be outfitting their characters with them within a few minutes of opening this book.

That's players for you.
