Theros Magic Items

T
he following weapons were created in the style
of the artifacts presented in the Mythic
Odysseys of Theros book. They were created
using the same format as the weapons and
were styled for each of the other gods of the
Theros Pantheon that have not received an
artifact. These are not in any way official items
for D&D or even a card in Magic the Gathering. I created
them from what lore I could find on the gods, their relations
with mortals, Theros, or other gods. I used various sights and
videos talking about the lore of the Gods, or in many cases
from Magic the Gathering cards associated with each god.
Enjoy!

 Athreos, God of Passage
Katabasis, Staff of Athreos
Weapon (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)
Atheros wields Katabasis, a gnarled wooden staff he is
never seen without. In Atheros's hands the staff is used to
ferry the dead, and only the dead, to the underworld. The
living rarely, if ever see Athreos, so it is unknown if he has
ever granted his staff to a follower. If he should grant the staff,
it would have to be a very special soul that is meant to cross
into the underworld.
Staff of Passage. This staff grants a +2 bonus to spell
attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of spells you cast
(excluding spells cast from this staff). Additionally, while you
are holding the staff you can move through other creatures
and objects as if they were Difficult Terrain. You take 5 (1d10)
force damage if you end your turn inside an object.
Blessing of Ferryman. If you are a worshiper of Athreos,
you gain all the following benefits for which you have the
required piety:
Piety 10+. The staff has 1 randomly determined minor
beneficial property.

minor beneficial property.

beneficial property.
If you aren’t a worshiper of Athreos, the staff has 2
randomly determined major detrimental properties.
See “Artifacts” in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide
for details on randomly determined properties.
Ferry. As an action, the staff can be laid down in water,
creating a ferry. The ferry uses the statistics of a Galley (see
Appendix: Of Ships and the Sea of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh
book) with the following changes:
The ship does not have any weapons.
The ship can move through other creatures and objects as
if they were Difficult Terrain. It and any passengers on
board take 5 (1d10) force damage per if it ends its turn
inside an object.
The staff can remain in this form for 1 hour or until the
attuned creature uses their action to revert the ship back into
its staff form. This property cannot be used again until the
next dusk.
Spells. The staff has 15 charges. While holding it, you can
use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one
of the following spells (save DC 18) from it: spare the dying (0
charges), toll the dead (0 charges), animate dead (3 charges),
speak with dead (3 charges), blight (4 charges), create undead
(6 charges), finger of death (7 charges). The staff regains
1d12+3 expended charges daily at dawn.
Destroying the Staff. To destroy the staff one must use it
against its nature. It is meant to ferry the dead into the
underworld. To pervert this and ferry the dead out of the
underworld or the living into it breaks the staff down. This
process must be repeated at dawn and dusk every day for one
month to break the staff completely.

circumstances she may need to cut the thread with the
golden nail on her left thumb. This has never occurred
before. Klothys is largely unknown in Theros as she acted as
