So, you're an epic character in Cormyr. Everyone knows you, peasants flock to see you, or flee in fear at the rumor of your approach, (whichever you prefer!) and novice adventurers emulate you. Why not market that brand name?
Truly famous folk in the Forgotten Realms franchise, selling a product everyone in the land wants to add to their collection. Imagine:
Sold in the House of Healing in Isinhold, Sharita's Scarves grant wearers a single Blessing. Each is promised to have been blessed upon the private altar of the Lady Sharita and sewn of the finest white linen by local seamstresses.
Who knows where Ranan's Gauntlets are found? They do seem to Inflict Wounds on their victims, though that may be the iron spikes as much as their unholy aura.
Helgrin's Helms are not only of the finest materials, they seem to aid the wearer in avoiding the affects of distracting combat techniques. Dwarves flock to Thunderstone to pick up a helm with Master Helgrin's trademark.
The players of epic characters can each think of an item that might better suit his character, such as the maps bearing Vind's name which already exist in the game, which may add some flavor to the game while helping to preserve the memory of Cormyr's past.

I like it.  Little things like that can add quite a bit of flavor to a server. |

LOL That's great. We might suddenly see some items pop up named after our epics now  |

Teneas' playing cards. Stories are told of this deck of cards, and how some have "sprung to life" instantly, then vanish. Pockets of stunned crowd members are often noted as lighter, as the owner of the deck of cards leaves shortly after.

Guldar carried Merry's Stick of slighty holy powers for a while as a memento. It was a small walking stick that DM Munroe made I think.

What about the two most famous I know of: Rigrin and Mouse?
How about a necklace that casts Silence for Mouse, and... hmm... an emaculately-washed tux for Rigrin?

*picture about Brin's arrows* Pfft, I have a nice easy fix for that one. Just make sure you go pure rogue, that way you can steal all the kills from the meatshield with your ridiculous damage.  |

A cool idea could be 'Elvewyns False Eye' which is a one shot true sight item.

Why do you think Brin's True Strike Arrows™ do what they do? The arrows' properties would have a +5 enchantment, and give you an 8d6 sneak attack.
;D ;D |

Zaebros's Zyrth. It summons a Red Slaadi once a day that does nothing but sing this song.
Zae Don't Be a Zerth
Zae don't be a Zerth, Zae don't be a Zerth!
Don't have that bad mood it's no good attitude!
Zae don't be a Zerth, Zae don't be a Zerth!
Put down the stupid hood, some sun would do
you good!
Zae don't be a Zerth, Zae don't be a Zerth!
Don't drink that much tea. drink more ale, like
me!
Zae don't be a Zerth, Zae don't be a Zerth!
Cause...
Once a Zerth, always, a Zerth they say,
Once a Zerth, always, a Zerth they say...
Prove them wrong my friend!
Let the bad mood end!
Zae don't be a Zerth YAY!

The Zae already has four items bearing his name in game! Granted, they're all in possession of a select few and not for sale, but... ! ... well. I like the Zyrth. Missing good ol' Frogwart. I doubt anyone would buy it though. I also love that brooch (which Zae actually owns ;D ). *huggles it* Very handy, I tell you. ... very. |

Ailren's Sleepytime Storybook
A collection of the folklore and research collected by one Ailren Selinfer, a petty and vindictive mage who's not above casting Hold Monster on a person to paint them pink, professor of the arcane, and overall buzzkill, this tome is a must have for the parents of children and other sociopaths. It relates such warm stories as the Creation of Baator, the Birth of the First Lycanthropes, and the Slaying of Ican, Protector of Fuzzy Kittens.
The book is a source of lore concerning all manner of unpleasant things, from why devils hunt souls to why you should never turn your back on a small child. Required reading for Why We Are in Constant Discomfort 310.

Screw a helm..
Helgrin's Everfull Tankard.
With a spoken word (in dis case "Elves be pansey's") this battered tankard fills to the brim with that most wonderful elixer of life... TRIPLE BOCK.
Along with the wonderous item Guldar's Never Wet Loincloth, a trip to the watercloset to shake the willy will never stop a bout of drinking again!

How this beard was cut from the chin of the renowned armorsmith remains a mystery. Braided and tied with bows, the artifact is rumored to grant the holder increased tolerance when drinking, no matter how much imbibed the drinker avoids all ill effects.
It has been noted that possible side effects occur to the owner as well, including grumpiness and extreme moodiness, not to mention a strange fascination with bearded women. As such its no wonder this is one artifact that gets passed from adventurer to adventurer quite quickly.

Garum Glandash's "Snappy One Liner"
Bastardsword, +1 Sonic Damage
This bastard sword, bearing the insignia of the Mercenary Garum Glandash, is known to insert unpleasant jabs and needless insults. In the hands of a true master, such a blade could be devastating - removing arms and dignity in one fell swoop.
Common phrases include:
"Your mother was a Calishite whore!"
"All that tribal training and you still swing like a baby!"
"Quit being such a baby, you damned swine!"
"C'mon, pigfaces!"
"Orc scum!"
"Ogre scum!"
"Elf scum!"
"Scum!"
On sale now, at your local bar. Just tell the barkeep you're looking for "Garum's Special." Comes with a complementary Turmish Stout.

Garum's Soiled Boots:
These once-white boots were worn by the famous mercenary Garum Glandash. Unfortunately, when a dog urinated on them Garum's mind broke.
He now lives in his grandmother's basement and comes out to drink tea with James every second Tuesday of the month.

Would they still make the wearer "immune to slipping on ice, which is useful for saving damsels in distress."?
And well done on that comment about tea with James.
I lol'd.

Wear them? I doubt anyone would want to wear those stinky ol' things. Cast Spell: Stinking Cloud 2 uses per day. Probably no worse than Kelric's boots. One time he stepped in dragon dung that was taller than his boots and a fair portion got down inside of them. He never did get that smell out, which makes it all the more odd that he always sniffs them when he takes them off. |
