Tuesday Magic Item – Spyglass of Clearsight

Captain Illissis Starrose stood at the bow of her ship, the Stellar Dolphin, and scanned the horizon.  She was not going to be caught unaware again and that oncoming storm was troublesome.  But she had purchased additional insurance, she patted her pocket.

The squall hit,  and Illissis took a moment to make sure that her hat would not blow away and then snapped out her spyglass.   She looked again, speaking the words, “As though a clear day” as she brought it to her eye.  Though the rain was sheeting down around her, through the magical lenses, she could clearly see that there were no hazards immediately ahead.

Spyglass of Clearsight

These spyglasses are made from polished and oiled brass with a wrap of finest leather, often dyed a solid color.  Inside are finely ground crystal lenses.  Usually hidden somewhere around the joins of the sections are the command words for the spyglass.

April begins, March ending

April begins tomorrow with a day of tricks and misdirections, such deception not being my specialty do not expect anything clever from me except for a new magic item.

The origin of the name of the Roman month Aprilis is unclear, it may refer to the opening (aperire) of buds and flowers as Spring arrives or in some way to the goddess Venus, to whom it is a sacred month.
