History: These three items were made by the bhaelnorn Systis some 500 years ago to prepare his nephew for the journey into the Underdark to battle the evil drow. All were hand-crafted by the lich with some help from his nephew whose name is Torius Shineblades. It took a full years to gain the materials needed, and to prepare for the actual ceremony. The items as a unit are known as the Undershine Three.
Over the years, Torius made great use of them battling drow all over the Underdark. He finally fell while fighting a dozen powerful drow that hailed from some city referred to only as Uth Natha. He killed 4 of them himself before perishing. None knows where the fighter/thief's magical equipment went, but surely the drow still have them? Or do they?
