The Tinderbox of Emberkind appears to be an ordinary item originating from the vibrant markets of Calimport. Crafted by a talented artisan with a hidden connection to the ancient magical traditions of Coia, this seemingly simple tool frequently changed hands, often dismissed as just a practical accessory. However, unbeknownst to many, the Tinderbox is infused with wild magic from Coia's Spire Gateways—remnants of mystical energies that once transformed the realm. This latent power aligns with individuals of generous hearts and reveals itself during critical moments, providing unexpected aid.
A notable tale involves an adventurer from Dig’s monastery who employed the Tinderbox while exploring Coia. Under the shadowy canopies of the ominous Shadow Forest, the party found themselves besieged by enchanted creatures seeking to claim their souls. As fear gripped the group, they grasped the Tinderbox, and to their astonishment, it ignited with a vivid flame that illuminated their surroundings, offering both light and hope. The flames did not merely cast away shadows; they seemed to repel the malevolent beings, enabling the adventurers to escape with their lives intact.
In the wake of that perilous night, tales of the Tinderbox's protective magic began to spread, altering its reputation from a mere accessory to a legendary artifact among adventurers and scholars alike. Over time, its ability to illuminate paths became both a metaphor and a legend, symbolizing guidance and protection in moments of darkness. Through each story shared, the Tinderbox of Emberkind grew in stature, transcending its humble origins to become a beacon of hope for those in need.
