A gold butter lamp
Minor arcanum #40
An oversized, highly decorated lamp, shaped like a chalice with a wide cup, like those lamps they use up north to burn mammoth-butter in their rituals.
It’s worth a fortune (Value 4), but there’s more to this lamp than meets the eye. To unlock its secrets, you must...
Requirements
- ☐ …consult with a disciple of the Rime Lords (or one of their troves of lore) to learn the recipe and mantra that makes the lamp work.
- ☐ …acquire the special ingredients for the clarified mammoth-butter to be burned in the lamp (Value 1).
- ☐ …risk drawing the attention of one or more wraiths when you first light the lamp and utter the incantation.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
