==Cothing and Jewelry== |
|||
a simple crown lifesculpted from <color> elanthite |
|||
A trio of crystalline vines twines around one another to shape the crown, while several lifelike leaves sprout from the piece at random. |
|||
a lustrous platinum ferroniere inset with a large star ruby |
|||
Hair-thin strands of platinum wire are braided to form a delicate chain that secures the skillfully cut and polished gem. |
|||
a strand of sunstone-dappled sun's glory blossoms adorned with a <color> ismenite. |
|||
A sunkissed chiffon ribbon is intricately braided with a multitude of sun's glory blossoms capturing a variety of yellow hues. Dotting their ray-like petals are chips of sunstone imitating the morning dew and creating a sunburst effect surrounded by the golden rays of the shimmering chiffon. A sunstone jasper is nestled in the corona of the array, the rich yellow and orange hues glisten like the brilliant rays of a summer sun. A gold hairpin set with an ismenite firmly holds the blossoms in place. |
|||
a pair of diamond inset rose-cut ruby earrings with rainbow sapphire teardrops |
|||
Streaks of scarlet and rose color the deep blue teardrop-shaped gems, giving the magnificent sapphires their distinctive tri-color appearance, while enhancing the blood red of the glimmering rose-shaped rubies they dangle from. Centered within the petals of the each ruby are matching flawless faceted diamonds, adding brilliance to the radiant rainbow of colorful gems. |
|||
There appears to be something written on it. |
|||
A pair of ruby earrings reads: |
|||
"Exquisitely crafted for Gwenddolyn." |
|||
a stunning laced gold necklace with a huge star sapphire cradled by a ruby rose |
|||
Superbly crafted metalwork of delicate webs woven from yellow, rose and white gold threads result in a very unique piece of artwork. Tiny rainbow sapphires, resembling glittering rosebuds, lay scattered across the golden filigree. Streaks of vibrant scarlet and rose color the deep blue gems, giving the brilliant sapphires their distinctive tri-color appearance, while enhancing the blood red of the rose-shaped ruby clutching the immense star sapphire. |
|||
There appears to be something written on it. |
|||
A gold necklace reads: |
|||
"Equisitely crafted for Gwenddolyn." |
|||
an elegant animite hand wristlet accented with golden chains |
|||
This wide bracelet is connected to a set of triple rings by an intricate system of coiled gold chain. The three bands are designed to be worn on the ring, middle and index fingers. Each of the tightly-woven strands is fitted to lay flat against the back of the wearer's hand. Worked into the dark metal of the band is the golden image of a stylized sun, the linked chains forming the rays shooting off from it. |
|||
a platinum wedding band set with a crystalline dragon's tear circled by onyx thorns |
|||
Caught by the protruding thorns, the delicate tear-shaped crystal is unusually clear, scattering radiant rainbows of color as it catches and refracts the light. Brilliant blood-red rubies are carefully arranged upon each thorn like sparkling teardrops. Elegant calligraphy is engraved around the piece, twisted within the thorns. |
|||
There appears to be something written on it. |
|||
A platinum wedding band reads: |
|||
"The true spirit of the dragon lives within our hearts." |
|||
some flame-discolored hand claws tipped with sharpened <color> katambite |
|||
a triple-strand anklet suspending rainbow sapphire teardrops |
|||
Strung upon a shimmering spidersilk cord, countless black pearls exhibit a metallic mirror-like luster. Designed to wrap thrice around the ankle when worn, dozens of tri-color sapphires adorn each tier. The dark blue jewels, split asunder by vividly hued zones of wine-red and champagne gold, display an intense sparkle whenever they catch the light. |
|||
a moonsilver-edged formal onyx imperial weave tunic pinned with a shadow emerald |
|||
An elegant trim of eerily glowing blackened moonsilver runs the cuffs of the tunic, its haunting glow perfectly complementing the smoky black inclusions at the heart of the emerald that binds the fabric of this distinguished garment. You see the initial "M." impressed into the surface of the fabric. |
|||
an elegant firesilk gown with intricate gold embroidery around the hems. |
|||
An intricate labyrinth pattern is embroidered around the hems and waist, shimmering against the vivid red-orange shimmering threads that give firesilk its name. |
|||
an Elven silk hip pouch with a moonsilver Mongoose feasting on Hav'roth ambrosia |
|||
Crimson moonsilver threads shot through the exterior of the Elven silk pouch emit a soft silver-red glow across its glacial velvet interior, while petrified insects are formed together into a rose-like ball of ambrosia and centered with a Gemfire ruby. The rich crimson gem glitters with a golden flame-like inclusion at its core, with tiny tendrils appearing to shift like the flickering flames when the light catches it. |
|||
some winged black firecat-skin boots with silversteel buckles and verdant hearts |
|||
Dyed to imitate a fantastical phoenix, the feathered wings are fiery red to accent the crimson flames embossed on the singed firecat-skin leather of the boots. Each oval silversteel buckle surrounds a perfectly spherical blackened verdant heart, the ridged crystalline surface capturing any available light to add brilliance. Glimmers of verdant light flicker within its core, barely perceptible through the dominant blackened sheen. |
|||
an elegant black velvet baldric with an image of a rampant fire-breathing dragon with shimmering silver wings |
|||
Displayed against the black velvet, the rearing dragon's silvery wings flap ominously, feeding the flames which shoot from its gaping maw. The scales on the dragon's jade tail glisten as it curls sinuously around the words, "Know ye, they guard forever." |
|||
a soot-covered lava samite carryall covered with Gemfire ruby seven-pointed stars |
|||
<br> |
|||
==Armor & Shields== |
|||
Obsidian plate armor with a gryphon (Baltiziel forged as a wedding gift). |
|||
Obsidian helm with a burnished silver visor and scarlet gryphon plumes: |
|||
Golden Imperial battle armor inlaid with animite seven-pointed stars: |
|||
A blackened patina pervades the intricate etchings of flowing scrollwork over the articulated layers, creating a striking contrast and adding to the elegance of the ceremonial armor. Further embellishments accent the pauldrons, vambraces and poleyns with the animite-inlaid stars, while the chestpiece is crossed with tapered bands of the dark metal, a brilliant ruby cabochon ornamenting each of the cardinal points. |
|||
Golden Imperial battle helm with trailing purple horsehair: |
|||
Ornate scrollwork etchings mingle with animite-inlaid seven-pointed stars to encircle a pointed crown along each side of the helm, while the brilliant horsehair is designed to flow down the back of the wearer. |
|||
Armored gown of moonsilver-chased chainmail atop layers of faesilk (Drathrok's Duskruin 426 Auction): |
|||
Though crafted into a feminine silhouette with a full skirt and a fitted bodice, the fine, multi-layered chainmail provides both function and form. Protectively worked so as to line the interior of each link, the softly glowing silvery metal creates a glorious, ethereal appearance when coupled with the diaphanous material beneath. |
|||
Nightmare black leathers: |
|||
Blackened silver buckles are used to fasten silverweave straps located along the side of the leathers. The rest of the armor is completely devoid of any ornamentation or distinguishing features. |
|||
Icesteel great helm layered with dark crimson wool and ice-veined leather: |
|||
Deep red strips of wool form an intermediary barrier between the translucent metal armor and blue-white leather. |
|||
The barest hint of a blue-white shimmer appears across the surface of the leather. |
|||
Heavy icesteel plate gauntlets interlaced with strips of ice-veined leather: |
|||
Outlined with dark crimson borders, wide lengths of blue-white leather crisscross the gauntlets in a simple diamond pattern. |
|||
The barest hint of a blue-white shimmer appears across the surface of the leather. |
|||
Heavy fluted icesteel plate marked with dark crimson slashes: |
|||
Deep red stripes traverse across the front and back of the armor in broad diagonal lines. |
|||
Dark agonite great helm patterned with stylized flames: |
|||
The interior of the helm is lined with firesilk padding for the wearer's comfort. |
|||
Agonite plate gauntlets lined with firesilk padding: |
|||
Flame-like fingers of steely grey subtly pattern the dark ebon-hued metal. |
|||
Ceremonial vardite aegis bristling with kertig spikes: |
|||
A double-tiered kertig scale topped with a diamondique eye adorns the shield's shadowy vardite face. Piles of men and women chained to razor-sharp spikes occupy each plate, lamenting judgement before the discerning eye above them. |
|||
Triple-reinforced vardite pavise shield |
|||
<br> |
|||
==Weapons== |
|||
<br> |
|||
Claymore: |
|||
a silversteel-hilted claymore set with a flaming heart weeping a kertig tear: |
|||
Positioned in a place of honor at the center of the crossguard, crimson moonsilver forms a flaming heart that glows softly with a silvery-red light. A single tear of kertig drips onto the ricasso, suspended above the nielloed image of a hammer and anvil surrounded by bold letters spelling out the name, "Mendasity." Surmounting the weapon is a bearclaw emerald pommel. |
|||
<br> |
|||
Bastard Sword: |
|||
a kertig bastard sword with a spiked vardite dragon hilt: |
|||
Cleverly crafted with magenta jade accents, the animite-inlaid hilt is formed in the shape of a dragon at rest. The kertig beast's fearsome head and outspread claws form the crossguard, its monstrous eyes embedded with a pair of brilliant red Elamiri sapphires. Below the hilt, a pommel of vardite shaped into the form of a spiny reptilian tail curls protectively around a dragon's scale sapphire, its surface giving off a brilliant shine. You see the initials "C. M." impressed into the metal's surface. |
|||
<br> |
|||
LX: |
|||
a light dragonwood battle crossbow with a laminated stock, #5 of Dreamheart's Legends of Elanthia collection, fashioned after Shapeshifter in the image of a dragon. |
|||
<br> |
|||
HX: |
|||
a bloodwood double-stringed crossbow carved to resemble a dragon |
|||
The stock of the crossbow has been expertly carved to resemble the body of a long, sinuous dragon. Deep red ruby eyes gaze out over the snout, frozen in a snarl revealing polished ivory teeth. |
|||
<br> |
|||
a steel-plated ironwood crossbow with a sculpted dragon-head cranequin (there is an interesting story about how she came by this Imperial museum piece) |
|||
Flakes of pale brown ivory create faux scales along the ornamental cranequin. Though the working parts are somewhat pitted with age, the crossbow looks completely functional. |
|||
<br> |
|||
Zweihander: |
|||
a flame-bladed zweihander with a blade of firestained agonite: |
|||
Outlined in bright crimson, flame-like fingers of charcoal-grey form a labyrinthine pattern along the undulating black blade. Below the ricasso, sturdy flukes prevent the hand from sliding down the blade when using a shortened grip at close range. The elegant crossguard, with its swirls of steely grey, resembles tendrils of smoke that have condensed into metal. Set into the pommel is a molten-core diamond, which smolders with a dull red light. There appears to be something written on it. |
|||
A flame-bladed zweihander reads: |
|||
"Cedafora" |
|||
<br> |
|||
Estoc: |
|||
an icesteel estoc with a glacier emerald frozen within its crossguard: |
|||
Though edgeless, the long, pellucid blade tapers to a keen point, ideal for thrusting between rings of mail or joints of plate armor. Three rings gracefully spiral out from the center of the crossguard, protecting the leading hand and enhancing precision. At their center, a flawless glacier emerald glimmers with silver highlights, as fleeting as seafoam adrift on polar seas. There appears to be something written on it. |
|||
An icesteel estoc reads: |
|||
"Scarnelur" |
|||
<br> |
|||
Greatsword: |
|||
a haralun greatsword with a jade dragon's head hilt bearing a shrike's eye sapphire: |
|||
The huge gem comprising the creature's threatening eye glints with every swing of this immense blade. A jade dragon's tail curves around the initials "C. M." impressed into the surface of the scaley metal. |
|||
<br> |
|||
Kaskara: |
|||

Horse
Gwenddolyn owns a fully trained war horse named "Crusader", which was purchased from a rare horse breeder, Ishtvan, during the Crusades.
The Zeharca horse is eighteen hands high with a mahogany and gold-colored, brindle-striped coat. It has a reddish-brown mane and tail. The gelding has a brilliant white, cross-shaped mark centered on the forehead.
The horse is wearing a silver-plated chanfron etched with the crest of Therengia and edged with scarlet roses, a finely tooled black leather saddle edged in scarlet roses with a jade green dragon head pommel, a black velvet caparison embroidered in scarlet and gold roses, some black spidersilk tail ribbons clasped with blood-red ruby roses, a saddle pad, and a black leather bridle exquisitely accented with iridescent green scales and crowned by a scarlet rose.
Cat
Inside a blanket-lined willow basket with an emerald-eyed electrum dragon clasp, is an emerald green-eyed fluffy chocolate brown kitten:
The brown kitten looks like: The silky rich chocolate coloring of this longhaired kitten is extra poofy and fluffy, and broken only by marshmallow white paws and a white-tipped fuzzy tail.
A blanket-lined willow basket with an emerald-eyed electrum dragon clasp look like: The loosely woven sides of this basket are padded with a marshmallow-white spidersilk blanket smeared with chocolate paw-prints and provide a strong but breathable carrier for whatever is inside. A small electrum dragon-shaped clasp with glittering emerald eyes carefully secures the basket.
Lizard
Gwenddolyn found her small sapphire-eyed lizard named "Izzy" inside an old chest in an abandoned Dragon Cavern while on an expedition with Terald, having held an interest as a shareholder in his treasure hunting expeditions. Terald told her the winged lizard was very old and dated back to an ancient Empire.
Puppy
a tiny blue-grey puppy with stubby wings
Soft fur covers the round body of this life-like toy from nose to tail. A heart-shaped pink stone is used as its nose and placed below a pair of green emerald eyes. Short wings sprout from between its shoulder blades in an array of bright blue feathers.
a wire-haired wolf-hound puppy
a sunset-hued mastiff puppy
Pig
a curly-tailed red-bearded razorback:
The curly red beard, sprinkled with glittering sapphire dust, compliments the coiled red tail and narrow black stripe running down the spine of this enormous ginger-colored pig.
It is currently wearing a fleece-lined leather cap topped with a pair of thick-framed tinted goggles, a rainbow-striped collar with a delicate rose gold charm, and a hooded fur-lined sheepskin jacket affixed with razaksel-framed clockwork wings.
Monkey
a pure white catacomb monkey
Rats
a fluffy cave rat (Winner of the first Rat Wars!)
a red-eyed agouti rat
Bugs
a huge armor-plated onyx-black centipede
a dusky grey jumping spider with obsidian-black speckling
Cothing and Jewelry
a simple crown lifesculpted from <color> elanthite
A trio of crystalline vines twines around one another to shape the crown, while several lifelike leaves sprout from the piece at random.
a lustrous platinum ferroniere inset with a large star ruby
Hair-thin strands of platinum wire are braided to form a delicate chain that secures the skillfully cut and polished gem.
a strand of sunstone-dappled sun's glory blossoms adorned with a <color> ismenite.
A sunkissed chiffon ribbon is intricately braided with a multitude of sun's glory blossoms capturing a variety of yellow hues. Dotting their ray-like petals are chips of sunstone imitating the morning dew and creating a sunburst effect surrounded by the golden rays of the shimmering chiffon. A sunstone jasper is nestled in the corona of the array, the rich yellow and orange hues glisten like the brilliant rays of a summer sun. A gold hairpin set with an ismenite firmly holds the blossoms in place.
a pair of diamond inset rose-cut ruby earrings with rainbow sapphire teardrops
Streaks of scarlet and rose color the deep blue teardrop-shaped gems, giving the magnificent sapphires their distinctive tri-color appearance, while enhancing the blood red of the glimmering rose-shaped rubies they dangle from. Centered within the petals of the each ruby are matching flawless faceted diamonds, adding brilliance to the radiant rainbow of colorful gems. There appears to be something written on it.
A pair of ruby earrings reads: "Exquisitely crafted for Gwenddolyn."
a stunning laced gold necklace with a huge star sapphire cradled by a ruby rose
Superbly crafted metalwork of delicate webs woven from yellow, rose and white gold threads result in a very unique piece of artwork. Tiny rainbow sapphires, resembling glittering rosebuds, lay scattered across the golden filigree. Streaks of vibrant scarlet and rose color the deep blue gems, giving the brilliant sapphires their distinctive tri-color appearance, while enhancing the blood red of the rose-shaped ruby clutching the immense star sapphire. There appears to be something written on it.
A gold necklace reads: "Equisitely crafted for Gwenddolyn."
an elegant animite hand wristlet accented with golden chains
This wide bracelet is connected to a set of triple rings by an intricate system of coiled gold chain. The three bands are designed to be worn on the ring, middle and index fingers. Each of the tightly-woven strands is fitted to lay flat against the back of the wearer's hand. Worked into the dark metal of the band is the golden image of a stylized sun, the linked chains forming the rays shooting off from it.
a platinum wedding band set with a crystalline dragon's tear circled by onyx thorns
Caught by the protruding thorns, the delicate tear-shaped crystal is unusually clear, scattering radiant rainbows of color as it catches and refracts the light. Brilliant blood-red rubies are carefully arranged upon each thorn like sparkling teardrops. Elegant calligraphy is engraved around the piece, twisted within the thorns. There appears to be something written on it.
A platinum wedding band reads: "The true spirit of the dragon lives within our hearts."
some flame-discolored hand claws tipped with sharpened <color> katambite
a triple-strand anklet suspending rainbow sapphire teardrops
Strung upon a shimmering spidersilk cord, countless black pearls exhibit a metallic mirror-like luster. Designed to wrap thrice around the ankle when worn, dozens of tri-color sapphires adorn each tier. The dark blue jewels, split asunder by vividly hued zones of wine-red and champagne gold, display an intense sparkle whenever they catch the light.
a moonsilver-edged formal onyx imperial weave tunic pinned with a shadow emerald
An elegant trim of eerily glowing blackened moonsilver runs the cuffs of the tunic, its haunting glow perfectly complementing the smoky black inclusions at the heart of the emerald that binds the fabric of this distinguished garment. You see the initial "M." impressed into the surface of the fabric.
an elegant firesilk gown with intricate gold embroidery around the hems.
An intricate labyrinth pattern is embroidered around the hems and waist, shimmering against the vivid red-orange shimmering threads that give firesilk its name.
an Elven silk hip pouch with a moonsilver Mongoose feasting on Hav'roth ambrosia
Crimson moonsilver threads shot through the exterior of the Elven silk pouch emit a soft silver-red glow across its glacial velvet interior, while petrified insects are formed together into a rose-like ball of ambrosia and centered with a Gemfire ruby. The rich crimson gem glitters with a golden flame-like inclusion at its core, with tiny tendrils appearing to shift like the flickering flames when the light catches it.
some winged black firecat-skin boots with silversteel buckles and verdant hearts
Dyed to imitate a fantastical phoenix, the feathered wings are fiery red to accent the crimson flames embossed on the singed firecat-skin leather of the boots. Each oval silversteel buckle surrounds a perfectly spherical blackened verdant heart, the ridged crystalline surface capturing any available light to add brilliance. Glimmers of verdant light flicker within its core, barely perceptible through the dominant blackened sheen.
an elegant black velvet baldric with an image of a rampant fire-breathing dragon with shimmering silver wings
Displayed against the black velvet, the rearing dragon's silvery wings flap ominously, feeding the flames which shoot from its gaping maw. The scales on the dragon's jade tail glisten as it curls sinuously around the words, "Know ye, they guard forever."

Armor & Shields
Obsidian plate armor with a gryphon (Baltiziel forged as a wedding gift).
Obsidian helm with a burnished silver visor and scarlet gryphon plumes:
Golden Imperial battle armor inlaid with animite seven-pointed stars:
A blackened patina pervades the intricate etchings of flowing scrollwork over the articulated layers, creating a striking contrast and adding to the elegance of the ceremonial armor. Further embellishments accent the pauldrons, vambraces and poleyns with the animite-inlaid stars, while the chestpiece is crossed with tapered bands of the dark metal, a brilliant ruby cabochon ornamenting each of the cardinal points.
Golden Imperial battle helm with trailing purple horsehair:
Ornate scrollwork etchings mingle with animite-inlaid seven-pointed stars to encircle a pointed crown along each side of the helm, while the brilliant horsehair is designed to flow down the back of the wearer.
Armored gown of moonsilver-chased chainmail atop layers of faesilk (Drathrok's Duskruin 426 Auction):
Though crafted into a feminine silhouette with a full skirt and a fitted bodice, the fine, multi-layered chainmail provides both function and form. Protectively worked so as to line the interior of each link, the softly glowing silvery metal creates a glorious, ethereal appearance when coupled with the diaphanous material beneath.
Nightmare black leathers:
Blackened silver buckles are used to fasten silverweave straps located along the side of the leathers. The rest of the armor is completely devoid of any ornamentation or distinguishing features.
Icesteel great helm layered with dark crimson wool and ice-veined leather:
Deep red strips of wool form an intermediary barrier between the translucent metal armor and blue-white leather. The barest hint of a blue-white shimmer appears across the surface of the leather.
Heavy icesteel plate gauntlets interlaced with strips of ice-veined leather:
Outlined with dark crimson borders, wide lengths of blue-white leather crisscross the gauntlets in a simple diamond pattern. The barest hint of a blue-white shimmer appears across the surface of the leather.
Heavy fluted icesteel plate marked with dark crimson slashes:
Deep red stripes traverse across the front and back of the armor in broad diagonal lines.
Dark agonite great helm patterned with stylized flames:
The interior of the helm is lined with firesilk padding for the wearer's comfort.
Agonite plate gauntlets lined with firesilk padding:
Flame-like fingers of steely grey subtly pattern the dark ebon-hued metal.
Ceremonial vardite aegis bristling with kertig spikes:
A double-tiered kertig scale topped with a diamondique eye adorns the shield's shadowy vardite face. Piles of men and women chained to razor-sharp spikes occupy each plate, lamenting judgement before the discerning eye above them.
Triple-reinforced vardite pavise shield

Claymore:

Positioned in a place of honor at the center of the crossguard, crimson moonsilver forms a flaming heart that glows softly with a silvery-red light. A single tear of kertig drips onto the ricasso, suspended above the nielloed image of a hammer and anvil surrounded by bold letters spelling out the name, "Mendasity." Surmounting the weapon is a bearclaw emerald pommel.
Bastard Sword:
a kertig bastard sword with a spiked vardite dragon hilt:
Cleverly crafted with magenta jade accents, the animite-inlaid hilt is formed in the shape of a dragon at rest. The kertig beast's fearsome head and outspread claws form the crossguard, its monstrous eyes embedded with a pair of brilliant red Elamiri sapphires. Below the hilt, a pommel of vardite shaped into the form of a spiny reptilian tail curls protectively around a dragon's scale sapphire, its surface giving off a brilliant shine. You see the initials "C. M." impressed into the metal's surface.
LX:
a light dragonwood battle crossbow with a laminated stock, #5 of Dreamheart's Legends of Elanthia collection, fashioned after Shapeshifter in the image of a dragon.
HX:
a bloodwood double-stringed crossbow carved to resemble a dragon
The stock of the crossbow has been expertly carved to resemble the body of a long, sinuous dragon. Deep red ruby eyes gaze out over the snout, frozen in a snarl revealing polished ivory teeth.
a steel-plated ironwood crossbow with a sculpted dragon-head cranequin (there is an interesting story about how she came by this Imperial museum piece)
Flakes of pale brown ivory create faux scales along the ornamental cranequin. Though the working parts are somewhat pitted with age, the crossbow looks completely functional.
Zweihander:
a flame-bladed zweihander with a blade of firestained agonite:
Outlined in bright crimson, flame-like fingers of charcoal-grey form a labyrinthine pattern along the undulating black blade. Below the ricasso, sturdy flukes prevent the hand from sliding down the blade when using a shortened grip at close range. The elegant crossguard, with its swirls of steely grey, resembles tendrils of smoke that have condensed into metal. Set into the pommel is a molten-core diamond, which smolders with a dull red light. There appears to be something written on it.
A flame-bladed zweihander reads: "Cedafora"
Estoc:
an icesteel estoc with a glacier emerald frozen within its crossguard:
Though edgeless, the long, pellucid blade tapers to a keen point, ideal for thrusting between rings of mail or joints of plate armor. Three rings gracefully spiral out from the center of the crossguard, protecting the leading hand and enhancing precision. At their center, a flawless glacier emerald glimmers with silver highlights, as fleeting as seafoam adrift on polar seas. There appears to be something written on it.
An icesteel estoc reads: "Scarnelur"
Greatsword:
a haralun greatsword with a jade dragon's head hilt bearing a shrike's eye sapphire:
The huge gem comprising the creature's threatening eye glints with every swing of this immense blade. A jade dragon's tail curves around the initials "C. M." impressed into the surface of the scaley metal.
Kaskara:
a polished kertig kaskara with knight-shaped langets:
Dark, silvery-black kertig creates the double-edged blade, rounding slightly to the needlelike tip. Ornate metalwork details armored knight langets on either side at the crossguard, while the braided grip extends to a sparkling amethyst intaglio of a rampant lion at its pommel.
Longsword:
a silversteel longsword with a black diamond pommel:
Filigree tracery of purple gold has been inlaid into the fuller of the shining blade. Gilt prongs hold the deep black faceted gem into the pommel of the gold wire-wound grip.
Nodachi:
a watered steel nodachi with lotusweave handle wrapping:
Above an elegantly carved jade tsuba, distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminescent of flowing water decorate the blade.
Polearms:
a tyrium-tipped gloomwood spear inlaid with stalwart brown penhetite.
The inlay forms an intricate pattern of swirls and lines along the dark shaft. A braided steelsilk strap allows the weapon to be slung over one's shoulder. Flowing calligraphy etched into the nearly two foot point reads "You will not see the dawn."
a diamondique spear
Nightsticks:
a smokewood nightstick studded with heavy vardite knobs:
Orange hemispheres of metal are centered within the knots of the wispy charcoal-grey woodgrain, the random pattern creating an effect like embers within a pillar of smoke.
a diamondwood nightstick banded with purple gold:
Wide bands of purple metal contrast with the pale wood of the weapon.
Fan:
a silversteel-bladed fan dangling a lotus charm:
A carved jade lotus is bound to the handle by a short chain. Each petal of the diminutive flower is tinted pale lilac at the edge and gradually fades to ivory at its heart. The blades are wider than usual for a fan, with a gleam of sharpened silversteel along the ends.
