THE SPELLBREAKER KIT
The Spellbreaker Kit is a set of supplies specifically designed to combat the magical threats you may face out in the field. These tools may prove useful if you expect to go up against occult powers. These tools are borderline essential to combat the highest difficulty zones. Below you will see a brief explanation of each piece of the kit:
Warding Charms
A collection of holy charms designed to ward off dark magics, these can protect the user from trickery and traps, as well as preventing weaker unholy minions from approaching.
Large Silver Knife
A decent sidearm in a pinch, this weapon is especially effective due to silver's holy properties. Damaging unholy creatures with a silver weapon often causes greater damage and disrupts their powers. The weapon also glows when particularly dangerous unholy or eldritch foes are nearby.
Illusion Dispelling Spray
Exactly what it says in the tin, if you suspect that illusions are veiling an area, or are dealing with a trickster, you can spray this alchemical Essence-compound to disrupt these alterations.
Anti-Psychic Pills
Enemies that attack the mind are some of the most horrifying and deadly. It is a mainstay of eldritch foes and is often employed by dark mages, so if you suspect psychic attacks may be coming your way, taking these pills will strengthen your mind against it. Strong protective effect for up to 1 minute, medium protective effect for up to 10 minutes, and minor protective effect for up to 1 hour.
Nullifying Grenades
A special brand of Essence grenades, these grenades release a magic-nullifying pulse that disrupts all magical effects nearby. These weapons are extremely effective against elementals and other magical constructs, often killing weaker ones outright.
Arcane Mirror
A strange but uniquely useful tool, arcane mirrors can reflect magic that hits it, sending the effect back at the caster. This lets them double as defense and offense. They also sometimes cause unique damaging effects versus certain enemies, like vampires.
Curse Detector
Curse Detectors function similar to a radiation detector, sensing signatures of latent dark magic. This tool can be invaluable for avoiding cruel traps that lay in wait or snuffing out hidden enemies.

TROPHIESWhen you complete very challenging missions (Especially Prejudice Hunts) you could end up bringing home a Trophy. What's the point of Trophies? Absolutely nothing other than to show off. You'll have a section of your profile dedicated to Trophies where you'll be able to show off your various legendary achievements. If you don't care for bragging rights though you could also sell your Trophies for Mint. An example of a Trophy below: Horn of the Frost Giant Lurhm
Description
A wicked horn that is larger than a human head, even in a regular environment it is always covered in a layer of permafrost and maintains a frigid aura. This horn was ripped from the Frost Giant Lurhm, who was rampaging near the Ebonfrost Harbour. This foe boasted incredible size and strength, as well as a bevy of frost-based spells and attacks. This trophy was acquired on a Perilous mission.
Mint Value
150 Imperial Mint

THE MOONS
Lantern has three moons that each shine in the sky at different times. They each have a set of themes and superstitions behind them, and many of those superstitions are actually real. Below are the three moons and their meanings:
The Pale Moon
The Pale Moon is the moon that is most often seen in the sky. It is associated with calm, comfort, peace, love, and cooperation. They say that its presence in the sky is what blessed humans the ability to survive in this world. While it may not have had that much influence, it is known that dark magics are weaker while the Pale Moon is visible in the sky.
The Silver Moon
The Silver Moon is seen less often than the Pale Moon and seems to be further away, smaller in the night sky. It is associated with order, honour, strength, purity, and justice. When the Silver Moon shows in the night sky, dark creatures are known to cover in the shadows, and its pure light dispels hexes. One of its most well-known effects, for example, is it reverses non-feral lycans back to their original human form. (Said transformation being caused by a certain moon below)
The Dusk Moon
This moon shows rarest in the night sky, and is also the darkest. However, its darkness tends to bleed into the night sky around it, 'infecting' the clouds and stars to shroud the world in darkness. The Dusk Moon is associated with impurity, evil, death, sin, and suffering. While the Dusk Moon haunts the sky, dark magic is stronger and more horrific creatures wander once-safe areas. When the Dusk Moon appears in the sky, it has an immediate effect on some creatures. One of its most well-known effects is it causes non-feral lycans to transform into their beastly form.
