Kari's Bottle

This bottle has sat on the shelf for many years, and among the many treasures of the Worthingwood Vault, this one stands out. Why? Perhaps it's the simplicity therof. Maybe it's the strange, barely noticable glow surrounding it. Maybe it's the strange unintelligible markings on it, so intricate, detailed, beautiful, and mysterious. Maybe it's the ringing in your ears, like a voice reaching out to you, whispering for you to let me out... This is no ordinary bottle, that's for sure.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

"Well, when I first got in there, it was basically a full-on house. As the years went on, it slowly got smaller and darker, until I was basically just sleeping. And then Alli got me out, and everything was fine. I mean, it's a dang magic bottle, what do you expect? A Heartclock just chilling in there? Without me in there, it's empty, cool?" -Kari Yveli

Manufacturing process

Again, as well as the tools, the process is unknown. The forges were last active in 1025, and haven't been active since. Any attempts to recreate the process have failed, and the Dark Witches will not reveal their methods to anyone. We can just assume that magical forging is a dead art.

History

Long ago, this bottle belonged to two trickster Witch brothers. They decided to play a prank on their good friend, Kari. She was curious about the bottle and fell for their devious trick. She got stuck in the bottle, screaming for them to let her out. Unfortunately, the boys soon lost the bottle, and a traveling Waresman picked it up, trying hard to open it or sell it. When he did, it was to the King of Lies, Cashe Worthingwood, leader of the TwoScore Thieves. They stole the rest of his wares and left soon after, placing the bottle and the rest of the precious items into the Worthingwood Vault. Alli wandered in, noticing the bottle's surprising characteristics, and was the only one to open it, knowing metalworking and how old things worked. Kari sprung from the bottle, as angry as could be. And from there, the story is history, akin to the story you've heard of Aladdin, and the bottle was then used to trap a certain greedy Vizier, Fallah, and sealed, never to be opened again.

"This is a one of a kind bottle. Is it truly a bottle? Is it a lamp, perhaps? Maybe it's a teapot. But it is still a wonderful piece of workmanship. No man has ever been able to get it open, but maybe you'd like to give it a try? That didn't work? Well, would you still like to take it? Yes? Alright then. Have a wonderful night, and may you be able to open it someday!" -Waresman

Raw materials & Components

Made from the finest copper in the Underground, it was made in the long-dead forges of the Dark Witches, which was probably how it was infused with a dark, trickster magic.

Tools

The tools used are now unknown, due to a large lack of documentation on part of the Witch Forges. They really need to get that fixed...
