ARTEFACT TEMPLATE close

A brief description of the item and its uniqueness; see other submitted items as guides. There are three important points to hit. First, the physicality of the object: what does it look like, how does it feel? Second, the personality traits the artifact is drawn to: what kind of person does it reveal itself to? This gives key insights into which aspects of your character's personality you're interested in explorin...

Cedar Plank close

This sea-hardened driftwood is nothing to look at to the regular eye of the surface world. But to one with ties to the first people of the world, the cedar is bright with life, sticking out in the grey piles of driftwood on the shore. When it is grasped, it reveals a peculiar deer "rune" in the art style that has been passed down by elders. Its meaning is one that can only be interpreted by someone who has a deep ...

Opalescent dye, made from discarded mer-scales. Ground and made into a paste for freezing. Diluted with hot spring water for intended use. Unparalleled in Inspera for its natural shimmer.

Feather close

Carefree and with a mind of its own, the feather floats freely, wind or no wind. It moves from place to place, without the help of anyone or anything, and it is looking for someone of the same mind. It knows what it is, and what it isn’t.

Gold Pocket Watch close

Only ticks in magically attuned places or with people with higher magical aptitudes. Prefers people who have naturally higher magical potential or can cook, but it's not necessary for it to appear. Will also fully reveal itself to those who aren't guided by completely materialistic needs.

Helmet close

The helmet itself appears as an old, worn down "biking helmet" to those it has not chosen. For those it seeks out, it appears as a glazed valkyrie helmet shining in all its glory with the faint sound of war drums beating around it. The 'valkyrie helmet' once belonged this mage, an ancient piece of armor used to protect them during their time served on Earth. Legends say valkyries choose the slain on battlefields a...

Jade Cologne Bottle close

Is the holder a risk taker? Are they willing to take extra steps to get what they want, even if it's through unconventional means? This artifact prefers people who either have a curiosity streak/are willing to experiment w/o necessarily being reckless.

Opalescent Key close

The opalescent lock's missing half. The artifact always seems to be humming at random intervals, a sound so delicate that most seem to miss it. Often worn as a necklace, it seems more like a trinket than a key that would open something, albeit it's user's perseverance and patience to find it's missing half. It shines much brighter with a positive individual who possesses a magical talent.

The key and lock and b...

Opalescent Lock close

The opalescent key's missing half. Much like the key, it too seems to hum at random intervals. It's a delicate hum, slightly more octave than the key. Once again, it too is often missed by the common folk. It's often used on a keychain or a bracelet, and it too is reminiscent of a trinket than a functioning lock. Unlike its counterpart, it thrives on the heartbroken and the depressed. It shines brighter on the emp...

Quill close

This artifact seamlessly floats around like a feather being pushed by a careless wind. It seeks out those who have the ability to go with the flow, those who are adaptable and can write their own destiny upon the guidance of their mage's wings. The feather from the quill itself once belonged to a familiar. The quill seeks those with a balance of fighting spirit, magical spirit and the sheer spirited will one has t...

Silk Handkerchief close

Light and slippery, to most it is just a plain and boring silk handkerchief - one you might find tucked in a bin at some secondhand shop. Those it does not accept, it stays hidden from, its colors dull and uninspiring.

Sword close

This artifact is covered in rust and can only be picked up by those it deems worthy. It is covered in runes, only fully revealing itself to one who is compelled to help others from the purity of their heart. Is the wielder brave enough to fight for their beliefs? Are they cunning enough to defeat their foes without brute force? Would they devote their lives to protecting those that cannot defend themselves? It is ...
