A knowledgeable PC will remember the legends of Balduran’s Butter Knife as the hero would allow no other utensil to touch his condiments. It is believed that his mother gave the ornate butter knife to him as an 18th birthday gift. The knife is well made but otherwise mundane and it could be that Balduran was simply a picky eater.

11

The Heart of the Damned: An ancient dried human heart that still beats loud and strong and that takes its name from the legend of the man that it came from. Legend has it that during a brutal war, the cause of which has long been forgotten, a keep was besieged. The lord of the keep knew that his walls would soon be overrun and, rather than surrendering and having his people enslaved, he slew them all. When the besiegers next attacked they found the lord standing amongst the slain, the sole survivor of the entire keep. The lord was burned at the stake and the legends say that his heart would not burn not matter how hot the flames became. According to superstition, the lord’s tortured soul is bound to the heart and he will suffer the heat of the flames eternally until the curse is broken. The heart resists all damage and cannot be burned or destroyed. A proper series of blessings or rituals could cleanse the heart and lift the curse, if a being was so inclined to grant that sort of absolution to a mass murderer.
