It's fun to get new things! It is especially fun to have those things really reflect your personality, interests, and aesthetic! Here are some items Nilme has had altered, or that have been altered and given to her as gifts. She's tried to include the name of the alterer when she can find it.
Jewelry
| Loveglass Band
|
|
Gift from Useff Budna to match the one given to him by Nilme, 443 AV, Designed by Useff Budna and Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Urdesas
- TAP: a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note
- LOOK: Five slender rings of polished loveglass are bonded together to form an infinite, circular music staff, inlaid with a sparkling melody of tiny diamond eighth notes. A stunning heartstone half note rests over center staff, the radiant gem a counterpoint to the brightly-hued metal that gleams like expertly blown glass. A stylized 'N' nestled within the arms of a 'U' is delicately carved in intaglio relief on the surface of the stone.
- READ: "To my sweet, bard girl - yours forever, Useff."

| Silversteel Pendant
|
|
Gift from Useff Budna, 440 AV, Designed by Useff Budna, Altered by Urdesas
- TAP: a silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone
- LOOK: Covered in tiny diamonds, a diminutive "U" and "N" are bonded together between a stunning heartstone, the symbolic duet reflecting their combined light in all directions. The letters are fused at the waist, giving the impression that they are holding hands, while the stone appears to float above. Engravings in tiny script adorn the back.
- READ: "To my Dazzling Duet partner -- all my love, Useff"

| Neithrel Band
|
|
Cornmaze Scroll, 436 AV, Designed by Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Scarecrow
- TAP: a polished Elven silver neithrel band with an amethyst wren caught in mid-song
- LOOK: Upon the symbolic Bardic jewelry, a proud wren wrought from a single deep violet amethyst rests freely on a perch of meticulously enameled lavender-hued flowers, while tiny diamond eighth notes form a spiral to hint at her dulcet song. Trailing broken bonds and a barren throne are subtly etched into the lustrous metal on the opposing side, furthest from the bird. Extending from the delicate bracelet, a trio of thin chains forms a bridge to a brilliantly sparkling ring with matching gemstones.

- TAP: a delicate pendant of a nightingale and wren perched upon a Bardic Spirit Knot
- LOOK: An amethyst nightingale and a cambrinth wren perch gracefully upon the nest-like Bardic Spirit Knot cunningly wrought from silversteel. Intricately woven from the fine silvery strands, the ghostly image of a bell is cradled within the heart of the complex knot.
|

|
|
HE 436 AV, Designed and Altered by Hashal
- TAP: a delicate charm bracelet of silversteel with a floral glaes inlay

Instruments and Instrument Cases
| Khurmary
|
|
HE 443 AV, Altered by Kouzan Teirtu
- TAP: an elegant sana'ati khurmary depicting the singers of the Ru'atin Peri'el
- LOOK: This modest harp, 'Breath's Journey,' is favored by the Ru'atin Peri'el. Detailed in high-relief carving upon the curved neck, two women are portrayed mid-song. A lustrous nacre of tiny music notes and shar'nath blossoms, arranged as if floating on an unseen musical staff, drift down the slender body to the image of a woman singing over a sleeping dragon. Crescentic scales of kertig, draconic opal, and diacan scintillate with iridescence on the slumbering creature.

| Lap Harp
|
|
HE 436 AV, Designed by Kaedan Nethral, Altered by Kouzan Teirtu
- TAP: an e'erdream lap harp in the shape of a wren with a single outstretched wing
- LOOK: The body of the wren emerges from the base of the resonator as if taking flight, its head pointing straight up towards the heavens. One of the wren's wings is folded tightly against its body, while the other stretches to the top of the harp's resonator, forming the other arm of the well-crafted instrument. An image of an e'erdream tree, its lacy foliage and flowers spilling across the surface of the finely grained wood, has been inlaid in Elven silver into the resonator's surface.
|
| Flute
|
|
Premium Cabana, 387 AV, Altered by True Bard Esmaril
- TAP: a luminous silvery flute engraved with spiraling songbirds
- LOOK: From the meticulously polished embouchure to the platinum open-hole keys, fine details are evident in the artistry of the instrument. Swirling around the keys, a series of wrens and nightingales have been carefully engraved, subtly accentuating the flute's extraordinary craftsmanship.
|
| Instrument Case
|
|
HE 436 AV, Designed by Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Urdesas
- TAP: a songsilk musician's case with an artfully engraved silversteel and glaes panel
- LOOK: A vibrant panel of silversteel and glaes is inset into the songsilk covered case, expertly forged and engraved with a series of wrens, connected seamlessly by a trail of diamonds. They soar effortlessly among scenes of Bardic history: witnessing Peri'el singing to the World Dragon, Neithrel breaking his chains, weary bards stepping over rubble to enter a new guildhall, an older bard instructing several attentive students, and a young Elven woman smiling slightly as she plays a lap harp.

Containers
| Eddy
|
|
Designed by Kaedan Nethral, Altered by Sindah
- TAP: a tempestuous eddy centered in an intricate frame of songsilk-lined Elven silver
- LOOK: Detailed engravings of musical notes adorn the polished silver that keeps the swirling eddy safely bound. The words 'Breath of Storms' are secreted amongst multiple curved mistglass lines that creatively depict stylized bursts of wind and stormy clouds of glaes. The force of the elaborate frame is softened by a lining of grey songsilk. The fabric's expertly woven latticework of shimmering silvery-grey crystals provides a softer, more delicate contrast to the depiction of the fierce storm.

Clothes
| Elven Gown
|
|
HE 436 AV, Designed by Tiarmo, Altered by Urdesas
- TAP: A sensuously draped gown of Elven silk graced with glittering amethyst swirls
- LOOK: Dyed a rich violaceous hue, this alluring garment is designed to hug and accentuate the feminine form, skimming down to just tease the ground when worn. Shimmering whirls of amethystine jewels adorn the lustrous silk, twisting and turning in delicate shapes that highlight the gown's full-sleeves, sculpted bodice, and slim column skirt. A subtle hint of silver-sheened Elven lace flirts with the daring neckline, its plunging v-shape ending in a faceted knot cut from a deep violet amethyst.
|
| Songsilk Corset
|
|
HE 439 AV, Designed by Tiarmo, Altered by Urdesas
- TAP: An alluring corset of emerald songsilk with subtle onyx stitching
- LOOK: Tailored to embrace the wearer's form and gently sculpt it into an enticing silhouette, the green-hued crystals within this overbust corset permeate the weave of the vivid emerald silk and shimmer with every movement. Delicate dark thread creates the suggestion of a pattern within the scintillating fabric. Nestled in the plunging vertex of the sweetheart neckline is a brilliant absinthe emerald caught in fanciful twists of silversteel filigree.
The top hook of the songsilk corset is open.

Weapons, Armor, and Shields
| Shield
|
|
Guildfest 439 AV, Designed by Kaedan Nethrel
- TAP: A violet-washed shield inlaid with silversteel and mistglass wrens
- LOOK: A chime of ghostly mistglass wrens is cunningly inset within the deep violet surface of the shield. Their wings outstretched, the wrens take flight as if startled by a sudden noise. The central boss of the shield is a clenched gauntlet wrought of Elven silver, which has been placed above a lute of gold. A single silversteel wren, eyes focused outward, perches proudly on the gauntlet, seemingly unafraid of that which has scattered its comrades.
|
| Longsword
|
|
HE 439 AV, Altered by Halvon
- TAP: A silversteel longsword embellished with knotwork and the Bard guild crest
- LOOK: The fatally-sharp blade stretches out from the curved crossguard that houses a stylized mistglass treble clef among raised Elven silver knotwork. Below the handle's songsilk-wrapped, leather grip shows indentations from frequent use. Counterbalancing the lengthy blade is a disk-shaped pommel inset with a shield-shaped medallion enameled with the image of a wren perched upon a fisted gauntlet over a lute of gold. Encircling the medallion an engraving reads "Here comes Treble."
