PublicationPathfinder #221: Into the Apocalypse Archive

The Runewell of Lust is a potent artifact and was the first of its kind among the runelords. As with all runewells, the Runewell of Lust is immobile and located within a demiplane that's inexorably linked to it, but the anima focus that allows access to the demiplane and the runewell can be transported to new locations through a series of complex rites known only to Sorshen herself.

Originally, the Runewell of Lust could absorb soul fragments of those who served Sorshen upon their deaths, granting her an essentially limitless supply of magical power she could use to fund potent rituals or craft magical items, but she disabled this ability soon after she woke years ago and decided it was time for a change. The Runewell of Lust appears as a hot spring filled with soothing 3-foot-deep waters.

Activate—Exit the Eye 1 (concentrate, manipulate)


Effect By splashing the runewell's water on yourself while you stand within it, you transport yourself back to a space of your choice within 30 feet of the anima focus, which is currently located in Sorshen's atrium.


Destruction If Sorshen is slain, the waters within the Runewell of Lust immediately become normal water, destroying the runewell in the process. The Eye of Desire is destroyed as well. Creatures not native to the Eye of Desire are immediately transported to the vicinity of the runewell's linked anima focus and become Stunned 3; any foreign objects within the Eye of Desire at the time are similarly ejected.


Trait Effects

Artifact: Items with this trait are artifacts. These magic items can't be crafted by normal means, and they can't be damaged by normal means. Artifacts are always rare or unique.

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
