Amulet of the Master
Ciressa Gind'ra was a mage who infiltrated the Night Masks for the Harpers, before she was found drowned in a two-inch puddle outside her residence. To infiltrate them, Ciressa created an amulet that allowed her to mimic the abilities of a master thief. One night she used it to break into the Night King's private quarters. She didn't anticipate the Night King's personal guard, who had a permanent detect magic spell surrounding the room. When the Night King was finished with her, he took the amulet, and since it had qualities useful for any adventurer, he made copies of it, which he sold throughout the land.

Anagrys' Slave-Collar
Anagrys Brightbrass and her companions enjoyed a long and successful career hunting the monstrous aberrations that dwelt in the regions around the Great Rift. With Anagrys' magic and her allies' combat prowess, the Great Rift was made safer for the gold dwarves and their human neighbors. Even the best adventurers eventually run out of luck, though, and so it was with Anagrys and her companions. The group tracked a raiding party back to its lair and what they believed to be its illithid master. What they didn't realize until far too late was that the raiding party's master was actually an alhoon, a terrifyingly powerful undead mind flayer far more potent than they had expected. Outmatched, the adventurers were stunned and devoured one by one - all except for Anagrys.
Perhaps because of her arcane prowess, Anagrys was captured and sold to a duergar slave master, who brought her in a large caravan to the Northdark. Anagrys was bought at auction by a drow wizard from Ched Nasad, who forced her to expend her magic and, ultimately, her very soul in the crafting of magic items. Anagrys died just a few years after being taken, but according to legend, at least some small portion of her soul passed into the slave collar that had been the symbol of her wretched existence for the last years of her life.

Foot of the Lame Kobold
After making an infernal pact that cost him a finger, but gave him rulership over his tribe, the kobold warlock Sholsarrath thought he was on top of the world. He had the chief eating out of the palm of his hand, the fairest daughter of every family in the tribe as a wife, and all the food and treasure a kobold could ask for. Unfortunately, Sholsarrath's style of 'rulership' was geared more toward immediate personal gratification than the greater good of the tribe, and eventually there was talk of revolution. Even if the shaman had the power to regenerate wounds, surely if enough axes were applied with enough vigor that problem could be solved.
Locked in his sanctum while the revolutionaries outside bayed for his carcass, Sholsarrath once again summoned the demon Yargulbuzul. The imp again promised aid, but said that this time the price would be higher - namely, a foot (precisely why this imp had a predilection for the anatomy of the common kobold remains a mystery to sages across the Realms). Desperate to avoid the fate of so many hedonistic monarchs, Sholsarrath agreed. The demon chopped off his left foot and hung it from a string, fashioning a crude amulet which was given to the shaman. Thus armed, Sholsarrath threw open the door to his sanctum and assaulted the would-be revolutionaries, his terrible, desiccated foot spitting arcane power from each clawed toe. The conspirators were terrified, and the revolution quickly died along with its leaders.

Ysridain's Soul
Everyone said that the bard Ysridain's ability with a lute was exceptional, but a few maintained that it was something more, something supernatural. After Ysridain's death at the hands of a jilter lover, the people of Waterdeep learned just how true those rumors had been. Early in his career, Ysridain realized that his physical beauty was far greater than his talent with music. He was a gifted musician, but he knew he would never be legendary unless he had assistance. Ysridain contracted a wizard to summon forth a powerful demon so the bard could negotiate a pact with the forces of darkness. A succubus answered the call. She agreed to inspire Ysridain with creative forces beyond his understanding. In exchange, upon his death, all that had resulted from her inspiration and Ysridain's soul would be hers.
Ysridain thought on this for a short time and eventually agreed to the succubus' deal. The succubus occupied a pendant that Ysridain wore around his neck. It had the effect of inspiring the bard to great musical deeds, but it also created intense physical lust. When Ysridain died, the bard's soul was swapped into the amulet and the succubus was released into the world. If the amulet ever shatters, Ysridain's soul will be dragged straight to the lower planes. Until then, Ysridain's succubus roams Faerûn searching for the children sired by the bard's lust.
