Jonathan's Zahiriye kit

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Jonathan's Zahiriye kit is the workshop outfit and set of tools that Jonathan River carries in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"). It was given to him at the Archon by his friend Michael, an advanced student of the Zahiriye, who had also taught him how to use a tinker's tools.1

The gift

At a reception held at the great master's order to thank Jonathan and Dunk for their help in recovering a lost tool set, Jonathan was handed a bag holding goggles, gloves and Zahiriye tools; tucked in one glove was a spell scroll. The kit is not the great master's engraved elven tool set that had gone missing; that set was returned to Michael. The scroll turned out to hold the Mending spell.234

The pieces

  • Apron: brown and made of thick leather that guards against splashing chemicals. Its pockets are deeper inside than they look from without, so that Jonathan can fold his tools away into them.5
  • Goggles: they let him work in the dark at close range.4
  • Gloves: protective leather gloves that help him work the Mending spell and let him handle flame not made by magic without harm to his hands. They also greatly reduce the risk of cuts and scrapes.46
  • Tools: a set of tinker's tools, among them a hammer and screwdrivers.16

Use

When Jonathan sold off what he did not need on the road, he kept his diary, his music box and his Zahiriye gear. In the workshop of the dwarf smith Fundin, who wanted him to work with his hands rather than reach straight for magic, he repaired the equipment of the guards and the witch hunters, holding hot metal in his gloves.76
