A jar of preserving was a type of enchanted jar that allowed for one to preserve any type of material indefinitely.[3][4]
Description[]
These jars were round in shape and made of glass, with glass lids that screwed into place. They could hold up to 1 cubic foot (0.028 cubic meters) of material.[3][4]
Powers[]
A jar of preserving put any type of material or small creature that was placed within it into a state of suspended animation. This meant that any plant matter would never wilt or rot; creatures would never age, hunger, or thirst; and spell components would never lose their potency.[3][4]
History[]
Sometime in the 14th century DR, a nabassu active in Ravens Bluff hired a thief by the name of Sir FM Lillywhite to get together a group of adventurers to retrieve a famous and sacred teapot, known as the Holy Container of Wisdom, that he'd recently obtained information on.[2] Lillywhite offered the adventurers a pouch of 60 platinum pieces, a jar containing six air spores, and even a jar of preserving if they agreed to hand over to him the sacred teapot.[5]
Notable Owners[]
- These magical jars were a common magical item among necromancers.[6]
