Globe of Serenity
These glass orbs look very much like crystal balls. However, a globe of serenity emits a continuous, inaudible tone that affects all living creatures within 50 feet who fail a saving throw vs. spell. While in the area of effect, affected creatures feel the utmost serenity and self-control. Strong emotions such as joy, love, and hatred are totally subdued.
Creatures affected by the globe gain a +3 saving throw bonus to resist spells and special attacks that affect emotions (such as charm, fear, or emotion). At the same time, they suffer a -2 to all Intelligence checks, the spark of insight also repressed.
The globe also affects morale, raising the spirits of some while quelling the fires of fanaticism in others. All affected creatures have morale of 10, regardless of their training or skill. If a morale check is called for and failed, the affected creature does not rout or flee, but stays in place, taking no action until rallied.
Globes of serenity are best suited for lawful communities where open displays of emotion are frowned upon. Although crime and violence would be greatly reduced in these communities, citizens would also lack a sense of spirit. The people would go about their daily routines like emotionless automatons.

Lesser Orb of Summer
Long ago Arangast discovered this magical item. The orb is made of pure orichalcum, crystal clear as glass, and enchanted by some unknown magic. The Orb is the most powerful object Arangast has ever encountered. Mana flows through the orb like a lens, channeled from astral space and focused wherever the Orb's wielder wishes. Arangast has used its magic to accentuate and increase his own abilities. The gold dragon was able to perform the miracle of his chosen season (summer) wherever he dwelled. Arangast's orb is known as the "Lesser Orb of Summer". Arangast pried up one of his chest scales, and tapping the power of his orb, he gently pressed the orb to his flesh and the orb sank three quarters of the way into his flesh, he then pressed the chest scale back into place. He keeps the orb with him at all times.
