LEGENDS OF OGRE GATE CHAPTER 75: THE ZHIZHU CORAL

At Wuxia World, you can follow the story of Sunan and Bao in the Legends of Ogre Gate series by Deathblade. The latest chapter is available HERE. If you want to start from the beginning, check out the INDEX.

THE ZHIZHU CORAL 
According to legend this ornate branch of coral was originally from the lowest depths of the oceans where Mount Zhizhu cradles the deep waters. It looks like normal coral but appears to be jade. It was said to have a special resonance with Mount Zhizhu. One of the most powerful artifacts in Qi Xien, it was sealed in a mountain centuries ago (accounts vary but some say the Timeless Master placed trapped it inside Mount Bao). The Coral has a profound ability to make anyone within 2 miles of it, happy. This may not seem like much, but it is enough to quell rebellions in cities or pacify enemies in battle. And the happiness is unusual, as it rises in intensity until it becomes a kind of insanity. Roll 6d10 against the Resolve of anyone in the presence of the coral. On a Success they are happy and content for 1d10 days. The Coral keeps working so long as it remains within 2 miles. However anyone exposed to the coral in this fashion for 1 year or more, automatically gains a Mental Affliction (WHOG, 168).
