Attunement requires a day of study, focusing on the object, and can only be achieved by an arcane spellcaster. You must be attuned to the stone in order to use its powers. This magical gem has powers from the divination (Fire Opal Eye) / enchantment (Black Opal Eye) school, allowing you to cast certain spells from this school a limited number of times per day. The identify spell reveals the following information: Wondrous items, legendary (require attunement by an arcane spellcaster)Ĭharacters cannot learn the properties of these gems through focusing on them during a short rest. Of the pair, only the Fire Opal Eye remains in their possession, still in the Lake of Lost Dreams today in AC 1000. The line of Seers did subsequently arise again, but without access to the Black Opal Eye (believing it lost or destroyed). With the sudden death of Elyas, the chain of Seers was broken. The local elves honoured his sacrifice by building a temple there. The witches and the Black Opal Eye were trapped, but Elyas was killed. They made a huge mountain fall on the tower in the Hantu Valley, but Elyas managed to trap the witches' souls under the tower too. In AC 3, Orcus sent three witches to defeat Elyas (as he was doing too much good in the world).
He kept the gem in the Hantu Valley, where he was great friends with the local elves, and he split his time between here and the Lake of Lost Dreams.
It was eventually recovered in BC 4 by the latest Seer, named Elyas. When she died, the gem was buried with her. In BC 308 a young mage, corrupted by Orcus, managed to steal the Black Opal Eye and fled with it to the Blight Swamp. Over the course of centuries, the title passed from successive masters to apprentices, along with the magical items. His apprentice was given the two orbs and became known as the Seer of the Lake of Last Dreams (where he set up residence). To summarise, the Eyes of Traldar are a pair of gems dating back to the time when Zirchev was still a mortal man (BC 870), in the land of Traldar. That's freely available from Vaults of Pandius and well worth downloading if you are at all interested in Mystara: There is an excellent write-up of the history of these gems in Threshold (Issue 1 - Sep 2013) Karameikos (in the article The History of Karameikos by Simone Neri). This post recounts their history (with reference to published adventure modules) and updates their stats to 5th Edition rules. Some fan contributions to the game link these items together and posit a matched pair of gems: the Eyes of Traldar. Several Basic Dungeons & Dragons modules involve powerful magical gems and are sited in Karameikos.
