Notable Items
- a pale moonsilk robe with a silver and sunstone belt-clasp
- The pale blue material is woven of stone-washed raw silk, creating a heavy fabric with a lush sheen. Darkened bracers feature images of Xibar in various phases and hold the robe firmly to the forearm when worn. Dulled silver ravens and copper wolves edge the hem of the garment. The highly polished silver belt-clasp forms the shape of a mountain, with a raven whose wings are outspread. The raven clasps a sunstone scroll with writing upon it.
- A pale moonsilk robe reads: "Kraggur Kveldcharn, Nenavskan"
- a long carving knife etched with lunar symbols
- The stars of Kertigen's constellation, the Raven, are etched onto one side of the blade. Opposite the stars are a series of animals following a trail of runes, all set in copper. Raven wings sweep up from the hilt to form a hand guard, while the feet clasp a sunstone scroll.
The Gems of the Dwarven-Holds
The Silfarshal's held a cache of rare gems from the Dwarven Holds. The chief gem was a zenith spinel drawn from a deep mine in the Gemfire Mountains. It was set into a brooch with Kertigen's Raven opposite the "K" of the Kveldcharns. A skinning knife was set with the Vela'tohr Tourmaline from the family's ancient homeland of Kwarlog in the Arncharn Shel. Third was a phantom sapphire, drawn from the Himineldar Shel where Hibarnhvidar lies. It was set into a cunning device which allowed it to be changed into various forms of jewelry. Fourth was a circlet, worn by the Lord of the Silfarshal, set with a mystic topaz, drawn from the far reaches of the old Kingdom of Rendstaan, from the Monks who reside in the Lesser Fist.
- a long-bladed skinning knife set with a vela'tohr tourmaline attached to the base of the hilt
- Nomadic symbols of dancing creatures from myth and legend are etched into the polished blade. The bone handle curves slightly, ending with a perfectly faceted blossom-shaped stone which generates a marvelous inner fire in verdant green hues.
- a grey diamond icesilk cloak clasped with a zenith spinel brooch
- Reminiscent of the harsh, wintry hues of Himineldar Shel, the silvery white warp threads of the elegant garment glitter icily against the cold grey metallic threads used in the weft of the loom. The cloak has been masterfully designed to drape in gently rippling folds from the wearer's shoulders to the ground. A raven sculpted from pristine silver and a "K" cast from gleaming gold flank the central jewel used for the brooch. Under indoor lighting, the zenith spinel exhibits a fiery scarlet hue.
- Biiskbowr Beer
- an opulent master brewer's flask made of mikkhalbamar and Forfedhdarian leather
- A master brewer's flask reads:
- "First Place in the Dwarven Social brewing contest!"
- 1st Place Entry, Dwarven Ale Contest 396AV

Gems
a translucent blue-green svelae - This extremely hard gem has a diamond-like luster but an even brighter fire than the standard diamond. Svelae are mined among the mountains near Hibarnhvidar, and special pride and care is taken with each one found. Formed in a manner similar to diamonds, svelae gems are saturated by colorful liquid mineral pockets, usually introduced by erosion. Several attempts have been made by alchemists to reproduce svelae from diamonds, but so far none have been successful.
a huge sana'ati heart - Kept a very well-guarded secret until recently by the Rose Sisters of Ain Ghazal, the sana'ati heart is extracted already hardened from living trees as clear amber tinted with red. It is said that the gems are harvested from the spot on the trunk where the branches begin to spread. Old Ain Ghazal legend has it that the Sana'ati Dyaus tree of Leth Deriel has magical sana'ati hearts the size of a person's fist.
a large glittering eldring - A pale, very light champagne-colored stone that occasionally throws off other colors when turned, this gem is found in the highest reaches of the Seord Kerwaith mountain range. The jewel forms as crystals in icy cavern and pockets, made from the minerals found in the mountaintops. Because it naturally crystallizes into many facets, it is almost never cut, but rather used in its natural state.
a large green dwalgim - Found at the bottom of large mineral-rich rapids, this gem usually is discovered in small clusters of minerals between stones or boulders, covered in a chalky white substance before it is cut. Harvesting the jewel is extremely hazardous and unreliable at best, so much so that the phrase "chasing the dwalgim" is used to describe someone taking a wild risk to gain wealth.
Bardic Practices
Steadying Breaths
Silvyrfrost nods to you and explains, "Using steady, deep breaths, you draw upon your inner strength, focusing your mind and expanding your lungs so that you are better able to vocalize and perform upon wind instruments. Use of this practicing technique is calming, and you will find yourself better able to utilize your abilities afterwards. If you wish to learn this ability, ASK me FOR it."
Going on, Silvyrfrost says, "However, during your practice you should focus upon what you are doing, and not let yourself get distracted, lest you have to start all over again from the beginning. Bards in times past once performed these exercises to greet each Elanthian dawn, thus renewing their energy to face the day ahead. It is unlikely that you will be able to reap benefits from using these exercises more often than that."
Silvyrfrost nods to you then signals two journeywomen over to take care of your training.
You are led to a quiet corner of a storage room that has been scrubbed clean and lined with soft mats. Here you spend a great deal of time learning to sit up straight with your eyes closed, and counting silently to the soft beat of a naqqara as you breathe in, hold your breath, then exhale. Impatience gnaws at you several times in your practice, and you find yourself shifting your position when a leg has fallen asleep, or your head listing to the side more than once. Each time this happens, the nearest journeywoman prods you sharply with the end of her staff, causing you to mutter as you assume the proper position once more.
After what seems like an eternity, you are able to sustain the breathing exercises for several minutes without too much effort. Nodding in satisfaction, the journeywomen leads you back to Silvyrfrost.
Readying Stretch
Silvyrfrost nods to you and explains, "Using this routine for stretching, you loosen and limber up the muscles in your body, preparing yourself for physical activity ahead. Stringed and percussive instruments, especially, should pose a bit less of a challenge to you once you have properly stretched first. Use of this practicing technique is calming, and you will find yourself better able to utilize your abilities afterwards. If you wish to learn this ability, ASK me FOR it."
Going on, Silvyrfrost says, "However, during your practice you should focus upon what you are doing, and not let yourself get distracted, lest you have to start all over again from the beginning. Bards in times past once performed these exercises to greet each Elanthian dawn, thus renewing their energy to face the day ahead. It is unlikely that you will be able to reap benefits from using these exercises more often than that."
Silvyrfrost nods to you, then signals a journeyman over to take care of your training.
The journeyman leads you to a white-walled practice room lined with soft mats where, for several long hours, you spend your time copying his movements as he demonstrates a variety of ways to stretch your body and limber up each of your joints. When you are finally able to repeat the repertoire of movements to his satisfaction, you're sweating and each of your limbs feel like overcooked noodles. You finish feeling confident in your ability to perform any task ahead of you.
You are led back to the main room.
