Weapons, Armor, Magic Items, and Rare Goods

This page lists weapons, armor, shields, ammunition, tools, rare goods, and magic item availability for Thesalon.

Prices use normal gold, silver, and copper.

Coin	Value
1 gold piece	10 silver pieces
1 silver piece	10 copper pieces
1 gold piece	100 copper pieces

Prices are baseline values. Local scarcity, war, law, quality, faction control, military restriction, guild monopoly, religious prohibition, and current events may change final costs.

Weapons and armor are not equally available everywhere. A fishing village may sell knives, spears, nets, leather armor, and hunting bows, but not plate armor. A war-damaged town may have many weapons and little medicine. A major city can usually provide most mundane arms and armor if the buyer has coin and no legal problem. A Freeport may sell almost anything, but paperwork may matter.

Magic items are different.

Magic items are not assumed to sit on ordinary shelves. Common magical goods may be sold by specialists, temples, guilds, alchemists, artificers, or controlled markets. Uncommon goods require connections. Rare goods usually require patrons, commissions, auctions, quests, favors, licenses, or story access. Very rare, legendary, artifact, and unique items are not normal purchases.

Weapons

Weapons are common across Thesalon, but legality and availability depend on region.

A farmer’s sickle, sailor’s knife, hunter’s bow, pilgrim’s staff, militia spear, noble dueling blade, and soldier’s polearm all carry different social meaning.

In most places, simple weapons are easy to acquire. Martial weapons are more common in cities, fortresses, military markets, mercenary districts, ports, and war-touched regions.

Magic Item Availability

Magic items are divided by rarity, but rarity is not only about price.

A common item might be cheap but hard to find in a village. An uncommon item might be available through a temple but not a market. A rare item might be known, but not for sale. A very rare item may be a state treasure, saint relic, family inheritance, cursed object, or sealed archive item.

The prices below are guidelines, not automatic shop prices.

Magic Item Availability Rules

Rule	Meaning
Not every magic item has a seller.	Many are inherited, recovered, guarded, stolen, sealed, or ritually held.
Price is not always coin.	Magic items may require favors, licenses, oaths, quests, proof of need, or faction approval.
Temples control some items.	Healing, resurrection, holy, burial, curse, and relic items often involve religious law.
Guilds control some items.	Crafted magic, lenses, enchanted tools, and arcane devices may be guild-controlled.
Governments control some items.	Military magic, siege magic, identity papers, restricted charts, and war items may require approval.
Black markets exist.	They are expensive, risky, often fraudulent, and may sell cursed or stolen items.
Common does not mean harmless.	A common magic item can still create legal or social problems.
Rare items attract attention.	Owning one may create claims, theft attempts, faction interest, or divine scrutiny.

Player Guidance

Mundane equipment is usually straightforward.

Magic items and rare goods are not.

A character can normally buy a dagger, rope, shield, leather armor, arrows, rations, or a lantern with coin. A character usually cannot walk into a normal shop and buy a legendary sword, saint relic, resurrection component, restricted route chart, or illegal mind-reading item.

For magic items, expect one or more of the following:

• a search
• a contact
• a faction
• a license
• a temple
• a guild
• a favor
• a debt
• an auction
• a quest
• a legal obstacle
• a rival buyer
• a question about who the item really belongs to

In Thesalon, powerful objects rarely change hands without consequences.
