A two-headed dog talisman

2025-12-28T18:18:08Z

NAAMIT:

'''A two-headed dog talisman of smoky quartz with brilliant emerald eyes''' was a scripted memento given to adventurers attending the release event for the opening of [[Temple Wyneb]] / Skull Temple area. The object was character-attuned and lightly scripted, including CLENCH, POINT, TILT, TOUCH, RAISE, RUB, and WEAR, and had the ability to [[Larchus and Pheyrmerrin at Icemule Town Meeting|identify others]] with similar trinkets.

Player run shop

2025-10-19T12:32:18Z

NAAMIT: /* Visitation */ Visitation requirement changed from 90 to 180 days on Sept 11, 2025. Didn't see any other policy changes with this. Announcement:https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/796618391262986241/1416077438278172795

[[File:Playershop.jpg|right]]
Originally titled as "Trade Shops," player run shops were introduced during HSN 2004. The [[Wehnimer's Landing]] shopping districts opened on 7/25/2004, and additional towns were quickly added thereafter.

==Searching the Shops==
This site can be searched for wares:
* [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich playershops]

This website is updated by players using a [[The Lich|lich]] script called ''update-playershops''.

''Note: Citizendata was the previous data collection script used for many years. As of 7/16/14 it has been replaced with update-playershops. As of January 2015, please update your update-playershops script to make sure it is uploaded to the correct place (Tillmen changed providers).''

In the game, a character may also search shops now, and even make purchases from afar:

If the in-game shop number is known, it can be easily used to browse the shop's merchandise.

For example, to browse the merchandise in shop number 1 in Icemule:
<pre{{log-inline}}> {{boldmono|SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE 1}}</pre>

Shop numbers sometimes change, but are easy to discover by reviewing a town's shop directory.

For example, to browse a listing of shops in Icemule Trace:
<pre{{log-inline}}> {{boldmono|SHOP DIRECTORY ICEMULE}}</pre>

After finding the shop you wish to browse, then the shop merchandise can be viewed:
<pre{{log-inline}}> {{boldmono|SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE {shop#}}}</pre>

Next, you may inspect any item in the shop by its item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> {{boldmono|SHOP INSPECT {item#}}}</pre>

And lastly, make your purchase, using the item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> {{boldmono|SHOP PURCHASE {item#}}}</pre>

To make your purchase from a distance, without actually traveling to the shop:
# get inside of a town (most towns work, it doesn't have to be the town where a shop is located)
# empty your left hand
# get a note in your right hand for "5000 extra plus the purchase price"
# {{boldmono|[[BOOST]] RUNNER}} (alternately, at the [[SimuCoin]] Store, purchase a Locker Runner Contract ([https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/143?gameCode=GS 30 days] or [https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/144?gameCode=GS 60 items]), which gives you a fixed amount of Urchin Runner Access)
# {{boldmono|SHOP PURCHASE}} {item#}
# you should receive your item instantly

==How to Buy a Shop==
'''This is currently in flux
*Full or partial [[citizenship]] in the town is required.
*A [[Premium subscription]] is required to maintain a three room shop, a [[basic subscription|basic subscriber]] may have a one room shop.
*A subscribed account may only own one shop. Accounts owning multiple shops before this change have been grandfathered in.
*The shop permit release system is under discussion, TBD by the end of June, shops can still be dealt through the player market.
*To transfer a shop, the buyer and seller need to visit the shop together and the seller should offer partnership in the shop. Once the partnership is established, the shop ownership can be transferred to the new owner.
*Any customized room name (e.g. [Dan's Den of Deed Fodder]) will be lost upon transfer, but other customizations, such as furniture and exterior look, will be maintained.
*Once a shop is transferred, the owner can go to the local [[:Category:Player shop furnishings|Player shop furniture]] merchant to choose furniture and decor, including a sign, door, roof and interior items. Interior items consist of display cases, tables, and other furniture decor for each room of the shop. When purchasing furniture, indicate which room of your shop it should go. The Shop Furniture merchant will indicate what piece it replaces. While inventory containers, signs, and decorative items can be purchased anywhere, large building materials such as facades, roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings can only be bought locally, due to the difficulty of transport.

;The following information applies to the original system. Since shops are not currently repossessed, no deeds come up for sale. Shops are only available on the secondary market.
* {{boldmono|SHOP DEED}} is currently disabled. Use {{boldmono|SHOP TRANSFER}} to move a shop to a partner who's a citizen in the same town.
* A shop deed (one room for standard, up to three rooms for premium) must be purchased from the NPC at the local permit office, found in the permanent structure that sells shop decor within the player shop area of each town. A one-room deed costs 100k, a two-room deed costs 150k, and a three-room deed costs 200k. Deeds can only be purchased when there is an available space in the shop area, but the shopkeeper does not limit his selling of deeds to the number of open spaces. Someone else may use their deed to claim that slot before you use your new deed, leaving you without a shop.
* An available slot must be claimed by standing in the room you want your shop in, holding your shop deed or shop permit in your right hand, and using {{boldmono|SHOP CLAIM}}.
:'''River's Rest claiming messaging
<pre{{log2}}>
>shop claim
As you hold up your permit, a shifty-looking human notices. He gives a shrill whistle, alerting several of his seedier-looking friends to come help him erect your new shop. Two of the group are wearing eyepatches, one wears a brass dancing turtle medallion, and one almost looks to have some krolvin in her heritage, judging by the cast of her features, but they do work swiftly and, in a surprisingly short amount of time, the shop is up and the group has vanished toward the bank with your permit to claim the construction fee.</pre>

==How Shops Work==
===Tax===
A 3% sales tax is automatically deducted from your sale price on each purchase. No more than 1,000,000 silvers in tax will be deducted from any one item.

===Inventory===
Shop inventories are limited by two factors: counter space and room size. Each room is able to hold up to 25 different items (each item can be a stack of identical items up to 50, loresinging to an item before posting will negate this, however, Elemental Detection (405) can be cast on an item without affecting its stackability). Each container is unique and holds a different amount. The Shop furniture merchant will provide information on the containers. A shop owner can set up multiple containers such that the total meets or exceeds the 25 item per room limit. A shop may have up to three rooms, though this is limited to one on a non-premium account. A three-room shop can have a maximum of 75 items for sale at a time.

Inventory in shops is available while in the shop via the {{boldmono|SHOP INVENTORY}} command, while outside of a shop via a shop manifest (available from the shopping district warehouse for 50,000 silvers), or via [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich Playershops] (though not in real-time).

When editing a shop's sign, to go to a new line, enter ]] after your text. You can also enter ]]]] to create a linebreak.

===Partnership===
Only the shop owner can manage partnerships. A shop can have up to 4 partners. Each partner can sell items in the shop and access their own profits. The shop owner does not have any access to the partners' profits, nor does the partners' balance count toward rent. The shop owner has the ability to disband the partnership at any time. If this happens, the partners' items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

As of November 2017, a shop partner can use {{boldmono|SHOP DEPOSIT}} to deposit silvers into the main (owner's) shop account to help pay for rent. This is a one way transaction and, thus, partners cannot withdraw from the main shop account.

If an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|[[ASSIST]]}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.

A shop partner is not subject to the same citizenship requirements as a shop owner. Shop partners do not have to be citizens of the town where the shop is located.

====Adding a Partner====
To offer partnership to someone, the candidate must be in the same room with the owner. The owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME>}} to initiate the partnership. The candidate must AGREE within about 1 minute or else the offer will pass.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN
Shop owner (Jane) sees: You offer John partnership in your shop.
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane offers you partnership in her shop. You have one minute to AGREE to the partnership. If you don't agree, simply do nothing and the offer will pass.

>AGREE
Shop owner (Jane) sees: John has agreed to become a partner!
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: You are now a partner in Jane's shop.

If partner candidate fails to AGREE within one minute:
Shop owner (Jane) sees: Your offer of a partnership with John has expired.
SHop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane's offer of a partnership has expired.
</pre>

After the partner is added, SHOP INFO will show a list of partners:

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP INFO
Shop Owner: Jane
Shop partners:
John
</pre>

====Removing a Partner====
To remove a partner, the owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME> CLEAR}}. The partner does not have to be logged in to the game.

The shop partner can PULL all their items from the shop inventory before the partnership is removed. However, if there were any of the partner's items in the shop inventory at the time the partnership dissolves, then the partner's items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN CLEAR
The shop owner (Jane) sees: John is no longer a shop partner.
The shop partner (John) sees: Jane has removed you as a partner in her shop.
</pre>

===Ban===
Up to 15 people can be banned from a shop.

===Haggle===
Shops can offer a discount towards particular races or professions. Race always takes precedence if its value is not 100%. To see current bias, issue the {{boldmono|SHOP HAGGLE ALL}} command.

===Rent===
Shops maintain their own bank accounts, from which rent is collected monthly. Rent must come from the shop owner's balance at the cost of 10,000 silvers per room. Each partner in a shop maintains separate books, and rent is only drawn from the primary shop owner's account. Failure to pay the shop maintenance for three consecutive months will result in repossession of the shop.

It is important to note that rent is collected from the shop every 30 days, and that the timer for rent collection does not reset or change when the shop changes ownership. A shop without any money in the owner's balance could be repossessed in as little as 60 days from taking possession if no money is put into the balance. Therefore, upon taking possession of a new shop, one should always immediately deposit a few months rent to be safe.

===Visitation===
Each shop must be visited regularly by its owner or partner(s). Failure to visit for 180 days will result in the loss of the shop. Note: A "visit" requires passing through the portal (either alone or as the leader of a group) into the shop and then using one of the {{boldmono|SHOP}} verb options (such as {{boldmono|SHOP INFO}}) while inside the shop to check on its status.

However, although a partner's visit counts as much toward keeping a shop open as a visit from the shop's owner, if an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

<pre{{log2}}>
If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|ASSIST}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.
</pre>

===Repossession===
In the event that a shop is reclaimed by the Shop Permit Authority, the inventory will be held by the permit clerk. The individual must {{boldmono|ASK AUTHORITY ABOUT CRATE}} in order to have the clerk bring out their crate, at which point the shop inventory, as well as the shop balance (in the form of a note) will be in a box identified by name on the floor of the Shop Permit Authority office. Individuals have 90 days to retrieve these items, after which it will be permanently lost.

===Room Extension===
You can buy a one room or two room extension from the local permit authority.
<pre{{log2}}>
>ask authority for two room extension
The authority says, "The current price for a 2 room extension is 150000 silvers. We accept coins and bank notes. Just ask me about it again within the next minute if you're still interested."

The authority accepts your silvers, jingling them together once before tucking them safely away.

The authority says, "If you lose that permit before you make use of it, you're out of luck. Just read the permit for more instructions."

>read permit
Shop Permit Issued to XXXXX

Authority Valued At 150000 silvers

Valid only for a 2 room extension to an existing shop in Wehnimer's Landing.
This permit can be transferred to another party.

Stand in your shop you wish to improve and and use {{boldmono|SHOP EXTEND PERMIT}} <direction>.

>shop extend permit east
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.

>shop extend permit north
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.
With no further need for your shop permit, you throw it away.</pre>

===Downgrading===

Shops may be downgraded and lose rooms, typically as a result of the owner moving from a premium to a non-premium account. When this occurs, the extra rooms will be sent through the same process as Repossession, meaning that any items in those rooms will be boxed up and stored in the port authority. Additionally, the owner's balance in the shop will be zeroed out (and put in a note). This means that you must deposit new funds to cover rent after a shop is downgraded or you risk losing the shop for non-payment for rent if three months pass and the balance is not made positive.

===How to Buy Shop Furniture===
You can specify which room you want your furniture to go in with MAIN or the direction of the room from your main room.
:Example: {{boldmono|ORDER 1 FOR NORTH}} would order the 1st item for your northern room.
<pre{{log2}}>
The merchant nods and says, "So you wish to purchase a dark green rubber tree plant for 5000 silver? This will replace an iron candelabra in XXXXX's General Store (north of your main room)."
The merchant continues, "If this is correct, just BUY in the next 60 seconds."</pre>

To add or replace a second container in the same room, append SWAP to your order command.
:Example: {{boldmono|ORDER 1 FOR MAIN SWAP}}
<pre{{log2}}>
The merchant nods and says, "So you wish to purchase a glaes-covered wicker display case for 20000 silver? This will replace a narrow glass-topped table in XXXXX's Outfitting."
The merchant continues, "If this is correct, just BUY in the next 60 seconds."</pre>

===Tips===

*Make sure to double check which item is being replaced BEFORE you buy!
*Each shop room can only hold a maximum of 25 items, regardless of the individual container sizes. This does not apply to items that {{boldmono|BUNDLE}} e.g., skins, deepening and lightening notes.
*A purchased sign will apply to all signs in your shop.
*Large items such as '''shop facade, ceiling, floors, roof and walls''' cannot be delivered to another town.
*If newly purchased furniture does not appear immediately in your shop, use the {{boldmono|SHOP ARRANGE NEXT}} command. For shop signs use {{boldmono|SHOP SIGN CLEAR}} then re-add your sign info using {{boldmono|SHOP SIGN <message>}}.

===Off-the-Shelf Upgrades===

If you would like to personalize your shop and the way it looks, you can find a list of [[:Category:Player shop furnishings|furnishing options]] here.

==Shop Alterations==

===Disclaimer===

The information shared below is intended to help facilitate player shop alteration planning.

Shop alterations are a special merchant service. They are sometimes provided at festivals or calendared events to alter one facet of a shop. They can also be redeemed as a prize for winning the monthly Premium Contest. Rarely, full shop alterations are provided via raffle.

===Shop Name===

The [Room Name] of your shop can be altered. If your shop has more than one room, each room can have a different room name. The main room name is referenced in the outside description of your shop when you look at it.

While shop names are flexible and can be creative, they cannot imply that the shop is anything other than what it is. For example, its name cannot state that the shop is an inn, a museum, a tavern, or anything else other than a shop.

The maximum character limit for a shop name or a room name is 31.

Altering a shop's room name typically includes altering all room names of the shop as a single service.

===Shop Facade===

:'''Facade:''' Capable of having a long within a specific framework.

The shop exterior can be altered but must fit within a very specific framework. The exterior is comprised of two parts, the facade itself and the decoration (which is often a roof), each of which may only be a 15/15/15. The facade half is required; the decoration half is optional. This appears in the format of:
:[a/an article] [adjective] [noun] with [article] [adjective] [noun]
Examples of how this can be phrased include:
*[a bright,green brick,shop] with [rose bushes,framing the,door]
*[an expansive,vermilion silk,tent] with [flanking carved,limestone,wyverns]
*[a broad roughly,hewn haorbeam,doorway] with [silvery,mithril rune,inlay]

The shop exterior must fit into the local surroundings. For example, a grass hut is perfect for Mist Harbor but not in Icemule Trace. There are building codes for each town, so make sure to tour the local shops and what exteriors are available in your town first to have a better idea of what those building codes are. Zul Logoth shop exteriors can only be doors or similar types of entryways. Ta'Vaalor shops have to be some sort of tent or pavilion.

Shop exterior facades and their nouns must be appropriate for a shop and cannot suggest that the shop is something that it is not. Mansions, towers, castles, and other buildings that are not clearly identified as shops are not allowed. Inns, restaurants, tea houses, and pubs are also not allowed, since the player shop system does not support bedrooms or full service for food or drink, but a pure retail store that specializes in foods such as a grocer or a butcher is not a problem. Wagons and other forms of transportation are not allowed because the player shop system cannot support the shop being moved.

Shop exterior decorations do not have to be an actual roof, even though this is the most common decoration available off the shelf. They can also be any sort of additional decorative feature that sets the shop apart from others.

Altering a shop's exterior typically includes altering both the facade and the decoration as a single service.

===Shop Interior Objects===

:'''Ceiling:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Floor:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall Hanging:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Rug:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #1:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #2:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Sign:''' Capable of having a 15/15/15 only.

The essence of each item must remain the same. A wall hanging must be something appropriate for the wall; it cannot be turned into a bathtub.

Some room arrangements look weird depending on how the object is altered. It is recommended to look at the various room arrangement options and how they display for a better idea of what to expect when planning interior alterations. For some room arrangement configurations, the long description is not visible in the room itself even though it is present on the object.

Containers will need to be located inside the shop prior to the alteration work being done. They should be the type of container you want. Some containers allow for storage ON them, such as a table, while others allow for storage IN them, such as chests. The altered container must make sense for how items are stored on or inside. Container alterations change the description only. They do not change how items are displayed (ON vs IN), and they do not change the total capacity of each individual container.

When altering a sign, the same alteration will be applied to the sign in ALL shop rooms. All other shop interior objects are altered separately for each room and do not have to be the same from one room to the next.

Altering one item in one room is typically one service. Altering one sign, impacting all shop signs, is typically one service.

===Custom Shop Interior Description===

Very rarely, full shop remodels are made available which include alterations of the shop name, the shop exterior, all objects inside the shop, plus the option for custom written room descriptions for the interior. This new description is saved as a special custom template when cycling through options via {{boldmono|SHOP ARRANGE}}, allowing it to be turned off or back on again at will.

Custom room descriptions are entirely custom written and do not have to follow the standard template format.

They must reference all objects present in the room: ceiling, wall, floor, wall hanging, rug, and both containers. When identifying those objects, you can identify if you want only the object noun (the last 15 of a 15/15/15), the object adjective + noun (the second and last 15/15 of a 15/15/15), or the full object description (the full 15/15/15). For room descriptions, this full object description will also include the object's long if it has one.

Custom room descriptions must be no longer than 511 characters, although there is some slight wiggle room due to how imbedded links work when referencing the various objects in the room.

For the purpose of a custom room description, if your shop has "some,fancy,walls" as the base object with "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals" as the object's long, the custom room description actually uses the same minimal character count on the back end. It doesn't matter if they are displayed in the room as just "walls", "fancy walls", or as the entire "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals".

Custom shop interior descriptions are very rare. They are not typically offered as a standalone single item shop service.

===Additional Notes===

All alterations must follow all {{boldmono|ALTER}} rules. This is especially true with regard to rarer materials. Rare materials can sometimes be used as trim and must be supplied. For example, if eahnor is provided, it can be used to trim a mirror but not to make an entire wall out of eahnor.

==Additional Information==

In the late 2000s, the shop system broke. Despite the efforts of several GMs, no one was able to fix it to its intended level of functionality or expand upon the mechanics. In [[Prime]], shops did not get repossessed, rent was not collected, and character owners were not required to visit their shops on a regular basis. Thus, shops were only available by purchasing one from another player.

In May 2017, GM Retser completed work on the system, and [[/saved posts#The Fixing (2017)|some shops were released via the {{boldmono|SHOP LOTTERY}} system]]. As of July 2023, more shops are being made available again via the {{boldmono|SHOP LOTTERY}} system.

(Sidenote: Shops won via the 2023 {{boldmono|SHOP LOTTERY}} system are having rent collected. Premium members who win shops automatically have three room shops, so that's 30k per month in rent.)

Reverence symbol

2025-10-05T20:35:59Z

NAAMIT:

'''Reverence symbols''' are old scripted holy-styled symbols that may have had unique messaging for Arkati settings and generic, when held in the hand (however the messaging does not vary, upon recent testing). They contained an imbedded spell in the spirit of the deity. They are not holy items and are magic resistant, but persist upon depletion of the imbdedded spell's charges.

Talk:Property of a Mysterious Fraternal Order

2025-09-02T13:54:42Z

NAAMIT:

From the given analyze example, it looks like the DF bonus and Mysterious Fraternal Order are separate things. This article probably needs to be broken into two separate pages, one for the DF-adding script/ability, and one for the Order flourish. [[User:CLTIDBALL|CLTIDBALL]] ([[User talk:CLTIDBALL|talk]]) 21:05, 1 September 2025 (CDT)

The verb TAP controls the ability to turn off the DF Bonus messaging, so I am not entirely sure they are separate. Surely the GM who owns this script can surely correct? [[User:NAAMIT|NAAMIT]] ([[User talk:NAAMIT|talk]]) 08:54, 2 September 2025 (CDT)

Ma'Henrith Caverns

[[Category:Sylvan Shenanigans]]

In Lormesta 5125, an exhibit of [[Sylvankind]] [[History of the Sylvan Elves#Sidebar: Introduction of Mithril and Silver|artifacts unearthed]] by [[Relian Degaloth Illistim]] from Ma'Henrith Caverns were briefly put on display at [[Museum Alerreth]] of [[Ta'Illistim]].

A copy of the exhibit as viewed on Lormesta 26, 5125 is below:
<pre{{log3}}>
[Museum Alerreth, Upper Landing - ] (u13122201)
Copper railings line the inner edge of the platform landing that connects the two elevated halves of the building, providing a slatted view down onto the main floor of the museum below. Along the outside wall, beveled plates of veined alabaster marble contrast with the glass front and ceiling of the museum. Centered in the space is a square tile stamped with the image of an unfurled scroll. A staircase with matching banisters leads down to the lower exhibits. You also see a prominent walkway leading to a special exhibition.
Obvious exits: south, west

>go walk
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122501)
The simple, pared back lines of the museum are complemented by the signage and design of the current special exhibition. A temporary wall, paneled in a backlit sheer of silvery gauze, is hung with a large banner and a prominent sign. More focused lighting highlights the objects on display in a case, and the slender font set behind a velvet rope. You also see a demilune refreshments cart with some stuff on it, a long copper drinks bar with some stuff on it and a wood-framed sheet of ecru-washed vellum set upon a tall wisteria-draped easel.
Obvious exits: northeast, out

>read sign
In the Common language, it reads:

The discovery of the Ma'Henrith Caverns was a turning point in the scholarly life of Relian Degaloth (3931-4980) and in our understanding of the secretive sylvan culture. The objects within this exhibition originate within a combination of collections held by the Museum Alerreth and the Library Aies. In many cases, items on display have been reunited for the first time since their discovery in 4955, allowing a rare chance to experience the full extent of the Ma'Henrith Cavern artifactual assemblage.

As there are ritual objects and remains on display, respect is requested.

>l banner
The banner is lettered in cloth-of-silver, with a ground of black silk. Silver wire trees frame the lettering, standing out starkly against the background.
There appears to be something written on it.

>read banner
In the Common language, it reads:

Ma'Henrith Caverns: A Retrospective
>l font
The tall, thin stone column supports a basin of pearly white alabaster. Vines and berries are carved into the column, making it appear to have grown out of the ground. The basin is gilded along its sides, lending a golden glow to the soft stone interior. A velvet rope surrounds the font, and a small copper plaque is suspended from the rope.

>l case
The majority of the case is taken up with the broken length of an alabaster bough. A focused light shines on it, as well as on a glass phial filled with sand and a delicate mithril chain, which is coiled into a sloped pyramid.

>l in case
In the glass case:
Special [3]: a broken alabaster bough, a glass phial filled with sand, a delicate mithril chain
Total items: 3

>look at bough
The elongated limb is finely carved with lifelike bark and tiny offshoots and leaflets. The alabaster from which it's been made is a soft cream, shot through with gilded veining. A violent, sharp edge demarcates the place where the bough was clearly cleaved from a larger piece. A small copper plaque is affixed nearby.

>read bough
In the Common language, it reads:
This artifact is one of several within the a collection gifted to the Library Aies by Relian Degaloth, researcher. The alabaster is of particularly fine quality. The species replicated in this instance is a faewood, a tree associated with Imaera. Note the way in which the natural veins of gold have been utilized to emphasize the texture of the bark.

>look at phial
The tiny glass phial is filled with a volume of pure white sand. Next to the phial is the tiny cap of alabaster that previously closed the container. The piece has been arranged to show a delicate curl of scroll partially emerging from the sand. A few small block letters written on the scroll are legible. Nearby is a small copper plaque.

>read phial
In the Common language, it reads:
Within the Ma'Henrith Caverns there were small containers as well as the more well-known amphorae. This example was found inserted into a bole in a carved 'tree' within the cavern. Its placement, outside of the previously assumed standard arrangement of artifacts, led to a re-examination of the site. This resulted in the addition of a sub-assemblage of many phials and philters found hidden in the 'trunks' and 'boughs'.

>look at chain
The chain is a looped coil of alternating links and round garnet beads. Dangling from it is a mithril medallion. A small copper plaque sits nearby.

>read chain
In the Common language, it reads:
This chain matches the description of those worn by members of the Sylvan High Council. The mithril medallion bears the inscription of a single maple leaf on its outer face, and a written inscription on its inner face.

>ne
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122502)
The chamber is lit dimly, save for several brighter lights that shine on a glass case and vitrine. Underfoot, the tiled floor is smooth and worn with age, and the railing overlooks a view of the larger museum below.
Obvious exits: east, southwest

>l cas
Within the case, and set atop a green-painted plinth, a wooden fox figurine surveys the extent of its domain. Close by, a pale rose alabaster amphora and its associated scroll are arranged to best display their colors, both soft and bright.

>l in cas
In the glass case:
Special [2]: a pale rose alabaster amphora, a wooden fox figurine
Total items: 2

>look at figurine
The figurine is stylized, more the impression of a fox than a specific fox itself. It is painted a soft, matte red, and a single spot of white tips its tail. The fox sits next to the amphora it was removed from, which is a rose alabaster, carved with scenes of apple trees. A copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read figurine
In the Common language, it reads:
This figurine was part of a rare 'double-stack', wherein an amphora contained both an artifact and a document. The figurine shows evidence of handling, with particular wear across the back and on the bottoms of its feet. The ritual purpose of this particular object is unknown, but more than one fox figure of this sort was recovered, indicating some larger cultic or religious purpose.

>look at amphora
The stone vessel has been emptied. Sitting alongside it in the vitrine is an unwound scroll. Illuminated lettering fills the page, and marginalia of tiny foxes and hares peek out from behind the text. Nearby is a small copper plaque.

>read amphora
In the Common language, it reads:
Individual amphora within the collection vary in their decoration. Most carving concerns flora or fauna, but the motifs depicted on a given amphora are not rigidly associated with the motifs of their contents. In this case, the amphora is decorated with apple trees, while the parchment within is styled with foxes and other woodland creatures. The text of the document is a series of poems, largely centered around the adventures of a kit and his companion, a leveret.

>look at railing
The railing is decorated with flowers and vines. The green parts of each floral piece are constructed from verdigrised copper and the petals and blossoms from blown glass. Below, the lower platform of the museum is visible.

>peer rail
Leaning close to the copper railing, you peer over it and see...

[Museum Alerreth, Lower Platform - ] (u13122502)
High above, the open ceiling of the converted airship depot has been refitted with glass panes, each of which is set into a curving framework of verdigris copper and coffered tiles. The lower hall, with its metallic archways branching into secluded chambers, sits largely open to a view of the windows, as well as to glimpses of the railings that line the elevated second story galleries. Three steps lead downwards towards the glassed end of the building and a demilunar entry.
Obvious exits: east

>e
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122503)
The space is almost entirely taken up by a mounted parchment map.
Obvious exits: east, west

>l map
The map has been mounted for conservation purposes, but a great deal of damage has already been done. The edges are tattered. A sharp rend obliterates a whole area that might have once matched the tiny trees visible at its torn edges. The parchment itself is friable and sepia with age. Despite all this, most of the map is decipherable, as are the legend in the lower left corner, and the scrawled signature in the lower right. A small copper plaque has been set nearby.

>read map
In the Common language, it reads:
This is an original Ransefel Map of Sylvia, cartography by Sistryni Ransefel and signed by the same. One of only a few surviving original examples, this map was instrumental in opening up the route between Ta'Illistim and the now-abandoned city of Ithnishmyn. This copy was gifted to the Library Aies by Ransefel as part of the copyright agreement that granted The Ransefel Press sole rights to publication and distribution.

>e
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122504)
A glass display, laid out lengthwise to show off its contents, rests within the space of the museum where the building curves to accommodate a large copper strut. Focused lighting highlights the objects inside the display, and a softer light shines upwards on the metal ribbing of the museum, lending a gentle, green-gradient glow off of the verdigrised copper.
Obvious exits: southeast, west

>look at display
A cloak of overlapping leaves is laid out within the display at full length, save for one edge, which is turned over to better show off the lining. A leather and wood badge, with similar motifs, is set alongside, raised up on a small platform.

>look at cloak
The cloak is a gradient of reds, oranges, and golds. Each leaf is backed by a bit of leather, and the entire assemblage patchworked together into a sweep of autumnal hues. The cloak is arranged in the vitrine to show off its full glory, but in doing so, it also reveals a ragged tear along the left breast, and an old, dried stain of brownish blood. A small copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read cloak
In the Common language, it reads:
This cloak was taken from the field at the Battle of Harradahn, a critical point in the war against Despana and her undead armies. It is a cloak of the Eranishal, the elite archers and scouts of the sylvan army. Led by Oriahn Delsechal, the Eranishal went on to help in the Battle of Maelshyve Keep, before returning to their hidden city and being seen no more.

>look in cloak
There is nothing in the cloak.

>look at struture
The massive copper support is lined with large bolts. It stretches across the ceiling and partway down the wall, where it joins with the rest of the metallic framework of the building. A faint patina of greenish verdigris tinges its surface.

>se
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122505)
Focused lights shine on the interiors of a narrow glass vitrine and a glass case.
Obvious exits: southwest, northwest

>look at vitrine
The entirety of the case has been given way to a single amphora and its contents, a fragile parchment.

>look at parchment
The parchment sits next to its amphora of origin. A small copper plaque is affixed to the vitrine.

>read parchment
In the Common language, it reads:
The Pale Parchment, sometimes referred to as Degaloth's Folly, was one of the first documents recovered and deposited with the Library Aies. Though claimed upon discovery to be covered in ciphered glyphs, when the parchment arrived in Ta'Illistim, it was wholly blank. This oddity was used for many years as evidence of fraud on Degaloth's part, with his rivals claiming that later items were forged, and this first parchment was merely a failed forgery, from which he turned to better techniques.

>look at case
The interior of the case contains an angled surface and a flat one. Upon the slant, arranged to be more easily read, is an illuminated manuscript. Its amphora rests close by, more securely stored.

>look in case
In the glass case:
Special [2]: an illuminated manuscript, a bulbous alabaster amphora
Total items: 2

>look at manuscript
The parchment document is decorated with flourishes and intricate colored borders. Three columns of text go down the page. The leftmost column is written in a delicate, swooping hand. The rightmost column is written in short, blocky glyphs. The center column is written in a simple copperplate. A small plaque is placed alongside.

>read manuscript
In the Common language, it reads:
All three texts on this manuscript, sylvan, common, and dwarven, speak to the same event, a trade deal involving moving large quantities of raw malachite from a dwarven mine to the sylvan city. Malachite was central to the worship of Goseana, as practiced by the sylvan cults to her. The document appears to be translations of a contract, though it is unsigned, so either the deal did not occur, or this was a draft of some sort.

>look at amphora
The rounded amphora has been emptied of its contents. Sitting alongside is an inscribed mithril tablet. A small copper plaque has been placed near both items.

>read amphora
In the Common language, it reads:
The source of sylvan mithril has been a subject of debate amongst scholars. There is little evidence that the sylvan of Nevishrim and earlier cities engaged in mining on a large enough scale to supply the many mithril arms, armor, and goods that they produced. This tablet is the strongest evidence for a formalized relationship between the sylvan city of Ithnishmyn and the dwarves of Kalaza.

>sw
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122506)
Behind a velvet rope, a hard-sided chest is filled with a quantity of beads. Carefully angled light sparkles on the glassy beads, casting a pattern of colorful refractions across the base of a nearby display case. The space around both features in this part of the museum is closed-in and intentionally made visually quieter through carefully hung swags and swathes of black silk.
Obvious exits: northeast, west

>look at chest
The chest itself is a pretty piece of kit, with simple lines, a domed lid, and copper foliate strapwork. Within the chest, however, is the real focus of the exhibit -- hundreds upon hundreds of small, glassworked beads. They vary in color, though most are of a similar size. Some are smooth and polished, while others are rough globules of glass, with something grey and nacreous at the centers. A small copper plaque is affixed to the velvet rope that blocks off access to the chest.

>read chest
In the Common language, it reads:
This cache of rivelyn, or sylvan crematory beads, was found buried within the Ma'Henrith Caverns under a stand of three carmlin 'trees'. This is the largest such quantity of rivelyn found to date.

>look in chest
In the hard-sided chest:
Special [1]: a massive quantity of beads
Total items: 1

>look at beads
There are far too many to count.

>look at case
You see nothing unusual.

>look in case
In the display case:
Special [2]: a diminutive pair of carved malachite wings, a series of vaalin rings
Total items: 2

>look at wings
The wings are carved similarly, with overlapping, almost round scapulars, short sweeping coverts, and long, finely detailed primaries. Each wing is no larger than an almond. The wings have been set partially upright on tiny metal stands, and a series of mirrors reflects the carvings and inscriptions on their posterior, concave sides. A small copper plaque sits in the case.

>read wings
In the Common language, it reads:
These amulets are part of the athgosael, a death ritual favored by sylvan devotees of Gosaena. In a three part ceremony, wings such as these are placed over the eyes of the deceased before interment.

>look at rings
The vaalin rings are connected to delicate chains of braided silver, which are in turn connected to a central handflower comprised of a large amber cabochon. A single tiny flower forms the inclusion at the center of the roundel. A copper plaque sits nearby.

>read rings
In the Common language, it reads:
This handflower is an example of sylvan mourning jewelry. Amber, representing Imaera's tears, is shaped and worn as jewelry and adornments in the hair. The flower at the center of the largest amber in this piece has been identified as a white blaestonberry.

>w
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122507)
The massive stretched deerskin that takes up one wall of the exhibit is lit with a diffuse, though clear, light. Opposite, a display of larger, scaled-up paintings of some of the details of the deerskin's imagery encourages a closer look than conservation measures allow with the actual artifact.
Obvious exits: east, west

>look at deerskin
The main composition is the life of one sylvan woman. Her birth shows her emerging from a tree, her childhood shows her playing beneath it, and her marriage shares the same tree as a backdrop. The circular composition continues, showing her leading small versions of herself to the tree, then bent and wizened, leaning upon it, and finally, deceased, being placed within it. A central medallion is a finely painted doe of overlapping leaves and twisting vines. A plaque is nearby.

>read deerskin
In the Common language, it reads:
The individual depicted on this life scene is unknown. It is believed to represent a general conception of a sylvan life, from birth to death, as a continuing, unending cycle. The doe symbol in the middle of the piece is a reference to Imaera. The skin was found, rolled, in one of the largest amphora in Ma'Henrith Caverns. Removing the painting required breaking the vessel, and the rim sherd shown here alongside indicates how large the amphora was.
>w

[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122508)
The final display in the exhibition is simple and stark, a pile of rolled scrolls and a series of empty amphorae. The amphorae stretch out in rows and columns, filling the vast space. Their numbers are massive, almost incomprehensible. Tucked back out of the way, a simple arch leads out of the exhibition.
Obvious exits: east

>look at scrolls
The scrolls are piled carefully, though they are of different sizes and materials. The fabric of some has gone slightly tinged with age, while others seem as new. Bits of writing and images of glyphs and flowers peek out from a few scrolls. A copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read scrolls
In the Common language, it reads:
Countless scholars have used the scrolls of Ma'Henrith Caverns to further their research. This particular subset of the collection is concerned with evidence of contact between elves and sylvan following the Battle of of ShadowGuard.

>look at amphorae
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of amphorae. All are shaped from alabaster, though the hues of the vessels differ. Some are a creamy yellow, others starkly white, with the occasional pinkish or bluish amphora thrown in. Every single one is empty. A prominent copper plaque sits nearby.

>read amphorae
In the Common language, it reads:
It was the work of researcher Relian Degaloth's life to catalogue the contents of the Ma'Henrith Caverns. The amphorae and scrolls displayed here represent only a small fraction of the total recovered from the site. Discoveries in the fields of herbalism and medicine, literature, religious studies, and history have come from Degaloth's research. Today, scholars from the Library Aies and the Museum Alerreth continue to make use of the collection in teaching and further study.

>look at arch
You see nothing unusual.

>go arch
[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122501)
The simple, pared back lines of the museum are complemented by the signage and design of the current special exhibition. A temporary wall, paneled in a backlit sheer of silvery gauze, is hung with a large banner and a prominent sign. More focused lighting highlights the objects on display in a case, and the slender font set behind a velvet rope. You also see a demilune refreshments cart with some stuff on it, a long copper drinks bar with some stuff on it and a wood-framed sheet of ecru-washed vellum set upon a tall wisteria-draped easel.
Obvious exits: northeast, out

>look on cart
On the refreshments cart:
Food/Drink [7]: a crispy bar of dried apricots diced together with raisins and apples, a goat cheese-filled date skewered with a sprig of rosemary, a stuffed mushroom cap filled with a savory mixture of spices and cheese, a small square tart of golden egg and cheese, an herb-roasted tomato stuffed with rice and lightly blistered, a skewer of fire-roasted so'enoorkra with a light sprinkle of sea salt, a smoky bacon-wrapped scallop lightly kissed with rosemary

The chamber is lit dimly, save for several brighter lights that shine on a glass case and vitrine. Underfoot, the tiled floor is smooth and worn with age, and the railing overlooks a view of the larger museum below.
Obvious exits: east, southwest

Within the case, and set atop a green-painted plinth, a wooden fox figurine surveys the extent of its domain. Close by, a pale rose alabaster amphora and its associated scroll are arranged to best display their colors, both soft and bright.

>l in cas
In the glass case:
Special [2]: a pale rose alabaster amphora, a wooden fox figurine
Total items: 2

>look at figurine
The figurine is stylized, more the impression of a fox than a specific fox itself. It is painted a soft, matte red, and a single spot of white tips its tail. The fox sits next to the amphora it was removed from, which is a rose alabaster, carved with scenes of apple trees. A copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read figurine
In the Common language, it reads:
This figurine was part of a rare 'double-stack', wherein an amphora contained both an artifact and a document. The figurine shows evidence of handling, with particular wear across the back and on the bottoms of its feet. The ritual purpose of this particular object is unknown, but more than one fox figure of this sort was recovered, indicating some larger cultic or religious purpose.

>look at amphora
The stone vessel has been emptied. Sitting alongside it in the vitrine is an unwound scroll. Illuminated lettering fills the page, and marginalia of tiny foxes and hares peek out from behind the text. Nearby is a small copper plaque.

>read amphora
In the Common language, it reads:
Individual amphora within the collection vary in their decoration. Most carving concerns flora or fauna, but the motifs depicted on a given amphora are not rigidly associated with the motifs of their contents. In this case, the amphora is decorated with apple trees, while the parchment within is styled with foxes and other woodland creatures. The text of the document is a series of poems, largely centered around the adventures of a kit and his companion, a leveret.

>look at railing
The railing is decorated with flowers and vines. The green parts of each floral piece are constructed from verdigrised copper and the petals and blossoms from blown glass. Below, the lower platform of the museum is visible.

>peer rail
Leaning close to the copper railing, you peer over it and see...

[Museum Alerreth, Lower Platform - ] (u13122502)
High above, the open ceiling of the converted airship depot has been refitted with glass panes, each of which is set into a curving framework of verdigris copper and coffered tiles. The lower hall, with its metallic archways branching into secluded chambers, sits largely open to a view of the windows, as well as to glimpses of the railings that line the elevated second story galleries. Three steps lead downwards towards the glassed end of the building and a demilunar entry.

The space is almost entirely taken up by a mounted parchment map.
Obvious exits: east, west

>l map
The map has been mounted for conservation purposes, but a great deal of damage has already been done. The edges are tattered. A sharp rend obliterates a whole area that might have once matched the tiny trees visible at its torn edges. The parchment itself is friable and sepia with age. Despite all this, most of the map is decipherable, as are the legend in the lower left corner, and the scrawled signature in the lower right. A small copper plaque has been set nearby.

>read map
In the Common language, it reads:
This is an original Ransefel Map of Sylvia, cartography by Sistryni Ransefel and signed by the same. One of only a few surviving original examples, this map was instrumental in opening up the route between Ta'Illistim and the now-abandoned city of Ithnishmyn. This copy was gifted to the Library Aies by Ransefel as part of the copyright agreement that granted The Ransefel Press sole rights to publication and distribution.

A glass display, laid out lengthwise to show off its contents, rests within the space of the museum where the building curves to accommodate a large copper strut. Focused lighting highlights the objects inside the display, and a softer light shines upwards on the metal ribbing of the museum, lending a gentle, green-gradient glow off of the verdigrised copper.
Obvious exits: southeast, west

>look at display
A cloak of overlapping leaves is laid out within the display at full length, save for one edge, which is turned over to better show off the lining. A leather and wood badge, with similar motifs, is set alongside, raised up on a small platform.

>look at cloak
The cloak is a gradient of reds, oranges, and golds. Each leaf is backed by a bit of leather, and the entire assemblage patchworked together into a sweep of autumnal hues. The cloak is arranged in the vitrine to show off its full glory, but in doing so, it also reveals a ragged tear along the left breast, and an old, dried stain of brownish blood. A small copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read cloak
In the Common language, it reads:
This cloak was taken from the field at the Battle of Harradahn, a critical point in the war against Despana and her undead armies. It is a cloak of the Eranishal, the elite archers and scouts of the sylvan army. Led by Oriahn Delsechal, the Eranishal went on to help in the Battle of Maelshyve Keep, before returning to their hidden city and being seen no more.

>look in cloak
There is nothing in the cloak.

The massive copper support is lined with large bolts. It stretches across the ceiling and partway down the wall, where it joins with the rest of the metallic framework of the building. A faint patina of greenish verdigris tinges its surface.

Focused lights shine on the interiors of a narrow glass vitrine and a glass case.
Obvious exits: southwest, northwest

>look at vitrine
The entirety of the case has been given way to a single amphora and its contents, a fragile parchment.

>look at parchment
The parchment sits next to its amphora of origin. A small copper plaque is affixed to the vitrine.

>read parchment
In the Common language, it reads:
The Pale Parchment, sometimes referred to as Degaloth's Folly, was one of the first documents recovered and deposited with the Library Aies. Though claimed upon discovery to be covered in ciphered glyphs, when the parchment arrived in Ta'Illistim, it was wholly blank. This oddity was used for many years as evidence of fraud on Degaloth's part, with his rivals claiming that later items were forged, and this first parchment was merely a failed forgery, from which he turned to better techniques.

>look at case
The interior of the case contains an angled surface and a flat one. Upon the slant, arranged to be more easily read, is an illuminated manuscript. Its amphora rests close by, more securely stored.

>look in case
In the glass case:
Special [2]: an illuminated manuscript, a bulbous alabaster amphora
Total items: 2

>look at manuscript
The parchment document is decorated with flourishes and intricate colored borders. Three columns of text go down the page. The leftmost column is written in a delicate, swooping hand. The rightmost column is written in short, blocky glyphs. The center column is written in a simple copperplate. A small plaque is placed alongside.

>read manuscript
In the Common language, it reads:
All three texts on this manuscript, sylvan, common, and dwarven, speak to the same event, a trade deal involving moving large quantities of raw malachite from a dwarven mine to the sylvan city. Malachite was central to the worship of Goseana, as practiced by the sylvan cults to her. The document appears to be translations of a contract, though it is unsigned, so either the deal did not occur, or this was a draft of some sort.

>look at amphora
The rounded amphora has been emptied of its contents. Sitting alongside is an inscribed mithril tablet. A small copper plaque has been placed near both items.

>read amphora
In the Common language, it reads:
The source of sylvan mithril has been a subject of debate amongst scholars. There is little evidence that the sylvan of Nevishrim and earlier cities engaged in mining on a large enough scale to supply the many mithril arms, armor, and goods that they produced. This tablet is the strongest evidence for a formalized relationship between the sylvan city of Ithnishmyn and the dwarves of Kalaza.

Behind a velvet rope, a hard-sided chest is filled with a quantity of beads. Carefully angled light sparkles on the glassy beads, casting a pattern of colorful refractions across the base of a nearby display case. The space around both features in this part of the museum is closed-in and intentionally made visually quieter through carefully hung swags and swathes of black silk.
Obvious exits: northeast, west

>look at chest
The chest itself is a pretty piece of kit, with simple lines, a domed lid, and copper foliate strapwork. Within the chest, however, is the real focus of the exhibit -- hundreds upon hundreds of small, glassworked beads. They vary in color, though most are of a similar size. Some are smooth and polished, while others are rough globules of glass, with something grey and nacreous at the centers. A small copper plaque is affixed to the velvet rope that blocks off access to the chest.

>read chest
In the Common language, it reads:
This cache of rivelyn, or sylvan crematory beads, was found buried within the Ma'Henrith Caverns under a stand of three carmlin 'trees'. This is the largest such quantity of rivelyn found to date.

>look in chest

>look at case
You see nothing unusual.

>look in case
In the display case:
Special [2]: a diminutive pair of carved malachite wings, a series of vaalin rings
Total items: 2

>look at wings
The wings are carved similarly, with overlapping, almost round scapulars, short sweeping coverts, and long, finely detailed primaries. Each wing is no larger than an almond. The wings have been set partially upright on tiny metal stands, and a series of mirrors reflects the carvings and inscriptions on their posterior, concave sides. A small copper plaque sits in the case.

>look at rings
The vaalin rings are connected to delicate chains of braided silver, which are in turn connected to a central handflower comprised of a large amber cabochon. A single tiny flower forms the inclusion at the center of the roundel. A copper plaque sits nearby.

>read wings
In the Common language, it reads:
These amulets are part of the athgosael, a death ritual favored by sylvan devotees of Gosaena. In a three part ceremony, wings such as these are placed over the eyes of the deceased before interment.

>read rings
In the Common language, it reads:
This handflower is an example of sylvan mourning jewelry. Amber, representing Imaera's tears, is shaped and worn as jewelry and adornments in the hair. The flower at the center of the largest amber in this piece has been identified as a white blaestonberry.

The massive stretched deerskin that takes up one wall of the exhibit is lit with a diffuse, though clear, light. Opposite, a display of larger, scaled-up paintings of some of the details of the deerskin's imagery encourages a closer look than conservation measures allow with the actual artifact.
Obvious exits: east, west

>look at deerskin
The main composition is the life of one sylvan woman. Her birth shows her emerging from a tree, her childhood shows her playing beneath it, and her marriage shares the same tree as a backdrop. The circular composition continues, showing her leading small versions of herself to the tree, then bent and wizened, leaning upon it, and finally, deceased, being placed within it. A central medallion is a finely painted doe of overlapping leaves and twisting vines. A plaque is nearby.

In the Common language, it reads:
The individual depicted on this life scene is unknown. It is believed to represent a general conception of a sylvan life, from birth to death, as a continuing, unending cycle. The doe symbol in the middle of the piece is a reference to Imaera. The skin was found, rolled, in one of the largest amphora in Ma'Henrith Caverns. Removing the painting required breaking the vessel, and the rim sherd shown here alongside indicates how large the amphora was.

[Museum Alerreth, Exhibition - ] (u13122508)
The final display in the exhibition is simple and stark, a pile of rolled scrolls and a series of empty amphorae. The amphorae stretch out in rows and columns, filling the vast space. Their numbers are massive, almost incomprehensible. Tucked back out of the way, a simple arch leads out of the exhibition.
Obvious exits: east

>look at scrolls
The scrolls are piled carefully, though they are of different sizes and materials. The fabric of some has gone slightly tinged with age, while others seem as new. Bits of writing and images of glyphs and flowers peek out from a few scrolls. A copper plaque is placed nearby.

>read scrolls
In the Common language, it reads:
Countless scholars have used the scrolls of Ma'Henrith Caverns to further their research. This particular subset of the collection is concerned with evidence of contact between elves and sylvan following the Battle of of ShadowGuard.

>look at amphorae
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of amphorae. All are shaped from alabaster, though the hues of the vessels differ. Some are a creamy yellow, others starkly white, with the occasional pinkish or bluish amphora thrown in. Every single one is empty. A prominent copper plaque sits nearby.

>read amphorae
In the Common language, it reads:
It was the work of researcher Relian Degaloth's life to catalogue the contents of the Ma'Henrith Caverns. The amphorae and scrolls displayed here represent only a small fraction of the total recovered from the site. Discoveries in the fields of herbalism and medicine, literature, religious studies, and history have come from Degaloth's research. Today, scholars from the Library Aies and the Museum Alerreth continue to make use of the collection in teaching and further study.

The simple, pared back lines of the museum are complemented by the signage and design of the current special exhibition. A temporary wall, paneled in a backlit sheer of silvery gauze, is hung with a large banner and a prominent sign. More focused lighting highlights the objects on display in a case, and the slender font set behind a velvet rope. You also see a demilune refreshments cart with some stuff on it, a long copper drinks bar with some stuff on it and a wood-framed sheet of ecru-washed vellum set upon a tall wisteria-draped easel.

[[Character]]s who are creating a new name or changing to an unregistered name must be at least [[level]] 20. Characters under level 20 can still take on a name being shared by the leader of a group, or take on their spouse's name.

===Fees===

Creating a surname is FREE of charge. Changing a surname will cost 50,000 silvers to [[Standard subscription|Standard subscribers]] and can be performed once every 30 days, and cost 5,000 silvers for [[Premium]] subscribers, who can change every 7 days. Registration will still cost 100,000 to Basic and 10,000 to Premium.

===Grammar===

When creating or changing a name, make sure to type it EXACTLY as you wish it to appear. The system accepts up to 15 characters and is somewhat flexible with regard to mixed capitalization. Limited use of apostrophes and hyphens is permitted.

===Elven Cultural Surnames===

Members of the [[Elf|Elven]] Houses can include their House name as part of their surname. They must show their chosen surname first, then use the [[PROFILE (verb)|Profile]] and/or {{boldmono|FLAG/SET}} commands. Example of such a name: ''Rondarr Myconhart Ardenai''. Rondarr is evidently of the [[House of Ardenai|Ardenai]] culture or House.

==Surname Registry Options==
===CREATE===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT CREATE}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk replies, "If you wish to declare a surname for yourself, we will help you. If we determine after searching our records that the name you request is appropriate and available, it will be granted to you. Only names that have not been registered or reserved by someone else are available."
</pre>
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CREATE <''name''>}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CREATE Ta'Illistonian}}''

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CREATE <''name''> CONFIRM}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CREATE Ta'Illistonian CONFIRM}}''

This will create a new surname.

''It is important to note the syntax. Asking the clerk {{boldmono|ABOUT}} will give you information, whereas asking the clerk {{boldmono|TO}} will invoke the action. Thus, when trying to actually create a surname, one must{{boldmono| ASK CLERK TO CREATE}}.''

===CHANGE===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT CHANGE}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
After a pause, the clerk continues, "If it's your name you're looking to change, just say so! You can ask me to CHANGE NAME TO whatever you had in mind. If it's your spouse's name you'd like to share, you can ask me to CHANGE NAME TO SPOUSE. You can also elect to take on a name that has just been shared with you."
</pre>
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CHANGE NAME TO <''name''>}}

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CHANGE NAME TO <''name''> CONFIRM}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CHANGE NAME TO Ta'Vaalorian CONFIRM}}''

This will change a character's surname from what it was previously to a different one.

===REGISTER===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT REGISTER}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk says, "If you'd like to keep your present surname for your own use, you can ask me to REGISTER it. If you'd like to allow those in your group to share your surname, you can ask me to SHARE your name. They will then be able to CHANGE their surname to yours, should they so choose."

The clerk continues, "Once your surname is registered, it cannot be claimed by others without your permission. Registration lasts a year, and you will be notified when that time period is within a month of expiring, so that you can RENEW it. The cost is 10000 silvers."
</pre>
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO REGISTER <''name''>}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO REGISTER Ta'Vaalorian}}''

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO REGISTER <''name''> CONFIRM}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO REGISTER Ta'Vaalorian CONFIRM}}''

This will register a surname you created so that no other character in GemStone IV can have this name, unless it is shared with them.

===RENEW===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT RENEW}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk says, "Renewal lasts for one year starting from today and costs 10000 silvers."
The clerk says, "It is wonderful that you wish to renew for your surname again Person, but you have already paid enough in advance! You have 225 days before your renewal is due."

The clerk says, "If you wish to renew anyway, please ask me again and CONFIRM your renewal."
</pre>
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO RENEW <''name''>}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO RENEW Ta'Vaalorian}}''

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO RENEW <''name''> CONFIRM}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO RENEW Ta'Vaalorian CONFIRM}}''

This will renew your registered name for another year and must be done yearly in order to prevent others from choosing the same name without your permission.

===RESERVE===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT RESERVE}}
:''Not a currently available feature''
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk says, "Reserving your surname will prevent it from being shared, either by you or by others to whom you've given it in the past. It will, however, still be open to other characters on your account. Although this service is not yet available, we will be offering it in the future."
</pre>

===SHARE===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT SHARE}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk says, "If you'd like to bequeath your name to others in your current group, you can ask me to SHARE MY NAME. Well, your name, but pretend that was you speaking. Anyway, that will give your current group members a chance to ask me to CHANGE their name to yours, though the option expires after thirty seconds."
</pre>
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO SHARE <''name''>}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO SHARE Ta'Vaalorian}}''

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO SHARE <''name''> CONFIRM}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO SHARE Ta'Vaalorian CONFIRM}}''

This gives others in your [[group]] permission to change their surname to yours. Permission ends after 30 seconds, and you will have to share it again if they run out of time.

===CANCEL===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT CANCEL}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk blinks and says, "Cancel what? I didn't know you wanted something."
</pre>

:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CANCEL SHARE}}''

* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CANCEL <''option''> confirm}}
:''Example: {{boldmono|ASK CLERK TO CANCEL SHARE CONFIRM}}''

If you change your mind about a request, you can cancel it.

===HELP===
* {{boldmono|ASK CLERK ABOUT HELP}}
<pre{{log2|border=line}}>
The clerk says, "If you would like to create a surname for the first time I can assist you. Ask me about how to CREATE a new name for details."

The clerk continues, "You can register your existing surname, which will prevent others from registering it for themselves. For more information about that, ask me about REGISTER. In the future, you will be able to RESERVE your surname, which I'll explain in greater detail if you ask me about it."

The clerk adds, "If you'd like to share your surname with the others in your current group, you can ask me to SHARE your name. If you'd like to take on a new surname, you can ask me to CHANGE NAME to something new, although this will only work for taking on the name of your spouse, or on names that have just been shared by someone in your group."

The clerk concludes, "If you are married, you can ask me to CHANGE NAME TO SPOUSE and if both of you are present, I will record your spouse's last name as yours."
</pre>
The {{boldmono|CHANGE NAME TO SPOUSE}} option is only available for those who have had a [https://www.play.net/gs4/weddings/info/home.asp Cathedral Wedding]. If the characters were married civilly, one character would share the name so that the other can take the same name.

Mage empowerable

2024-12-28T04:34:12Z

NAAMIT: Edit at will

[[Charge Item (517)/saved posts|Mage Empowerables]] are a type of [[magic item]], similar to an imbed. They are designed to allow mages to add charges beyond the traditional 40 maximum and provide more overall utility to the magic item charging process. These items also use a less restrictive spell list than traditional rechargeables.

'''Imbue''' will allow the caster to imbue [[FORAGE (verb)|foraged]] sticks, wiregrass, or other natural, organic material to create an [[Magic Item Creation (420)|imbeddable]] rod, [[wand]], bracelet/anklet, or amulet. These items may then be imbedded with a spell using [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] or [[Holy Receptacle (325)]].

The amount of [[mana]] the new magical item will hold is determined by training in [[Ranger Base]] spell circle, [[Spiritual Mana Control]], as well as [[Discipline]] and [[Intuition]] stat bonuses. Training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] and the [[Ranger Base]] circle increases success rates and chance of creating a rod instead of a wand. Training in [[#Lore Benefit|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] increases the maximum amount of [[mana]] that can be imbedded in items.

Wearable magic items created by Imbue can be infused with elemental resistances via [[Resist Nature (620)]].

At 5 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]], the Ranger may cast the spell at an imbued wand or rod that they created to imbed it with [[Wild Entropy (603)]] for the full cost of the charges added. The wand/rod will only be usable by its creator.

At 40 Blessings lore ranks, the Ranger receives double the [[Magic Item Use]] benefits for any magic item that they create via Imbue.

NOTE: As of 1/28/2022 per GM Mestys on Discord, there are hard caps in place limiting the maximum mana to the below:

Rods - 93, Wands - 53, Amulets/Bracelets/Anklets - 63

Resist Nature (620)

__TOC__
'''Resist Nature''' allows the [[Ranger]] to cast a magical shield that provides [[resistance]] to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning) equal to 20% + 1% per 4 Blessings ranks (50% maximum at 120 ranks via [[enhancive]]s/[[Ascension]]). The duration of this benefit is 1200 + 60s per Ranger spell rank, but the effect will quickly fade for any member who leaves the Ranger's group. The amount of resistance that can be absorbed by the shield before it fades from the group is equal to 100 + ([[Spiritual Mana Control]] skill / 2) [[#Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics |DSW]]. Re-casting the spell will replenish this resistance pool.

The spell also allows a Ranger to infuse a prepared wearable magic item created by [[Imbue (614)]] with resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning). This item confers the elemental resistance to its bearer. Each tier of Resist Nature bestows a 5% resistance to the element, with a maximum of 5 tiers (25%). The affected item will remain [[imbed|imbeddable/imbedded]], and will no longer crumble when its charges are depleted. An item with no charges may also be re-imbedded with a different spell with the use of a [[grot t'kel potion]]. A character may only have one Resist Nature item active at a time.

;Success Formula
{{math|Ranger Level + 2*WIS bonus + 2*INT bonus + .75*Survival Ranks + MIU ranks + 1.5*Ranger Spell ranks + Harness Power ranks + SMC ranks + SL:B Lore ranks + 20 if outside - Tier Modifier - Previous Resistances Modifier + d100 > 100}}
*''Tier Modifier'' is equal to 100 * the '''target''' tier of the attempt.
*''Previous Resistances Modifier'' is equal to 150 * the number of existing T5 resistances on the item.

;Interactions
Resistance provided from a Resist Nature magic item will fully stack with the group version of the spell, up to a maximum of 50%. Resistance provided from armor or cloaks will not stack with either version of Resist Nature – only the strongest resistance will apply. The chance for the item to negate damage will occur regardless if it is providing the highest resistance or not, with one exception -- Resist Nature magic items will not provide ''any'' benefits if their bearer is also wearing armor that has resistance granted by the old Resist Nature. It is advised to remove the legacy Resist Nature from your armor if you are also using a Resist Nature magic item.

== Usage ==
;Group version
* {{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 620 ELEMENT}}, where {{mono|ELEMENT}} is the type of elemental damage you wish to protect against (heat/cold/steam/nature/lightning).

See the [[#Process|Process]] section below for more detailed usage when using Resist Nature to grant elemental resistance to an imbued item.

== Mana Control Benefits ==
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above. It also factors into the amount of resistance absorbed by the shield provided by the group spell version, the resolution of which uses {{math|skill/2}} (not ranks).

== Lore Benefits ==
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above, as well as increasing the resistance applied by the group spell version at a rate of 1% per 4 ranks.
:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
!align="right"|Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks||0||20||40||60||80||100||120
|-
|align="right"|Total resistance applied (group spell version)||20||25||30||35||40||45||50
|}

== Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics ==
First, a definition of Damage Severity Weighting (DSW): This is a term that describes how critical damage is dealt throughout GemStone. Simply put, it’s the critical ranking system drawn out to 5 points per crit rank (rank 0-9 mapping to ~0-50 DSW). The Combat Effectiveness Rating (CER) numbers in use with [[Weighting]] and [[Padding]] services are on the same scale.

When the player is struck by damage of the resistant type and the magic item is imbedded with a spell, it absorbs an amount of mana equal to the DSW resisted (i.e. up to 25% of the incoming DSW). Absorbed mana will convert to spell charges based on the cost of the imbedded spell, not to exceed the maximum mana capacity of the item.

Additionally, there is a percentage chance that the damage will be entirely negated, equal to the tier of the resistance (maximum base of 5%). The negation chance is further increased by any additional resistances that have been applied to the item equal to resistance tier / 2.

== Sources of Elemental Damage ==
Resist Nature items will reduce damage inflicted by attacks of its element type. What follows is a short list of examples where damage can be mitigated by an appropriate Resist Nature item. This list is not intended to be comprehensive; you can generally expect a Resist Nature item to universally mitigate damage of its associated type regardless of source.

;Nature
*Offensive Ranger spells (Wild Entropy, Sun Burst, Moonbeam, Spike Thorn, Nature's Fury (all damage types))
*[[Sandstorm]]

;Fire
*Fire/heat flares (from weapons/armor)
*Fire-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Fire, Major Fire, Fire Spirit)
*Other fire-based spells and effects (e.g Immolation, Weapon Fire, Earthen Fury, Dark Catalyst)
*Fire-based creature attacks (e.g. Lava Golem hurl attacks, Fire Mage death throes)

;Cold
*Cold/ice flares (from weapons/armor)
*cold- and ice-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Major Cold, Minor Cold)
*Other cold-based spells and effects (e.g. Major E-wave (ice), Earthen Fury (cold))
*Environmental effects (Pinefar/Icemule Trace/Gossamer Valley/Hinterwilds)

;Steam:
*Steam flares (from weapons/armor)
*steam-based bolt spells (e.g. Minor Steam)
*Steam-based environmental effects (e.g. Greymist area effect, damage from the columns in Luukos' Temple)

;Lightning:
*Lightning flares (from weapons/armor)
*Lightning-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Shock, Major Shock)
*Call Lightning

== Process ==
As the Ranger gains experience, they also earn Nature's Grace points at a 1:1 rate. A total of 50k Nature's Grace can be earned per week, banking up to an overall total of 200k. Nature's Grace points can be spent to attempt to apply resistance to an Imbued magic item, at a cost of 50k/75k/100k/125k/150k based on how many tiers of the spell are currently applied.

First, the Ranger must obtain a resistance potion, as outlined in the section on potions below. The Ranger may then {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the magic item to determine the number of potions needed, then {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} the potion on the item to prepare it. At this point they may {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the item for a difficulty check and finally {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]}} the spell at the item to attempt to apply the resistance.

The number of doses of the potion required is equal to the tier of the current attempt. If successful, the item then gains a permanent 5% resistance to the chosen element, with a maximum of 25% resistance after 5 successful tiers. A failure will result in a loss of 10% of the points of Nature’s Grace required for the attempt.

An item that has reached tier 5 resistance may have another resistance added, but the difficulty of the project will increase by a flat amount per previous resistance.

Using a larkspur potion on an item affected by Resist Nature will remove the most recent tier applied. If only multiple tier 5 resistances remain, the user will be able to choose which to degrade by {{boldmono|[[TURN]]ing}} the potion.

=== Potions ===
Potions specific to each resistance type can be made by dropping off forageable plants corresponding to the desired damage resistance at the local herbalist NPC found in weathered shacks throughout the world. Each dose of a resistance potion requires five of the same plant. The cost of brewing a potion is 50,000 silver per dose, and the potions do not expire.

NOTE: You must bring a resistance up entirely to T5 before adding a new resistance.

The chance to negate is equal to the current resistance Tier (1-5) that matches the damage type you are receiving, plus half of other Tiers present on your item.

== Suffusion ==
Nature’s Grace may be {{boldmono|[[SUFFUSE]]d}} at a rate of 1 point of energy per 1000 Nature's Grace. Each point of suffused energy used in a Resist Nature infusion attempt is equivalent to a +1 bonus.

== Titles ==
The following post-name [[Title system | titles]] are available under the SKILL category:
*Grace of Nature - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully spent 50 full weeks' worth of resources on Resist Nature.
*Arboreal Arcanist - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully cast a fifth tier 5 resistance on a Resist Nature item.

== Additional Information ==
;Legacy Armor Resistance
Armor currently affected by temporary Resist Nature resistance will continue to function, but their charges will be depleted based on the amount of DSW resisted, rather than per instance. For example, if an incoming instance of fire damage with DSW 20 (rank 4 crit) strikes armor with 60% heat resistance, it will lose 20 * .60 = 12 Resistance Life while reducing the damage to DSW 8 (rank 1 crit).

;Capacity Re-Calculation
An item made resistant by 620 may have its mana capacity re-calculated based on the Ranger’s current training by {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]ing}} Imbue (614) at it. Only the Ranger who originally created the item is eligible for this renewal, and the item must be depleted of charges before undergoing [[Imbue_(614)#Messaging|the process]]. The cost of renewal is 25,000 Nature’s Grace.

;Lich Casting
If using Lich, you can specify the element you wish to cast by setting the UserVar <code>resist_element</code> via the syntax: <code>;vars set resist_element=<ELEMENT></code>. Elements supported are Nature, Lightning, Steam, Fire, Heat, Ice, and Cold.

__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Call Familiar''' enables</noinclude><includeonly>Enables</includeonly> a [[wizard]] to summon an animal to their side as a companion. Cast unaided, the spell calls out to the nearest appropriate animal in the region, resulting in an arbitrary familiar. The duration of the effect may be refreshed in order to retain a particular familiar over an extended period of time.<section end=description />

Call Familiar is used in conjunction with [[Familiar Gate (930)]] for easy transport to wherever the familiar is located.

At 40 or more ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle, a wizard can use {{boldmono|[[SUMMON]]}} to specify the type, adjective, article, and gender of the familiar they wish to summon. This method will always summon a familiar of the specified type while the other options have a chance to be different than specified.

Additional ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle increase the chance to summon a familiar with the specified detail by 1% per rank. The chance for the adjective to match is equal to the player's Wizard spell ranks, with a -20% modifier for the article, and a -40% modifier for the gender. For the purposes of this formula, ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle are capped at the wizard's level. As such, the maximum chances to apply the requested article and gender are 80% and 60% respectively.

;Syntax - SUMMON [gender] [[article] adjective] {type}

==Commands==
Familiars are controlled using {{boldmono|[[TELL]]}}.

==Lore Benefits==
===[[Elemental Lore, Air]]===
Every 100 skill bonus of Elemental Lore, Air will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill. Familiars use a "round system" for travel and finding people. A round fluctuates depending on the calculated distance. The lore benefit reduces those rounds.
<section begin=Air Lore Bonus/>
:{| {{prettytable}}
!align="right"|Elemental Lore, Air ranks||24||100
|-
|align="right"|Approximate % time reduction||25%||50%
|}
<section end=Air Lore Bonus/>
::''Not all thresholds shown, only those provided in release post. Benefit is hard to quantify.''

===[[Elemental Lore, Water]]===
50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to set an anchor to the naturally occurring earth[[node]] of a caster's choice. Setting an anchor will allow the mage to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO GO ANCHOR}}, and the familiar will return to that room. The controlling mage can set the anchor room remotely through the familiar using {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR ANCHOR}}. The anchor is a setting specific to the mage and does not need to be reset when a new familiar is cast. Each mage has one anchor setting.

75 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO TRAVEL <town>}}. The familiar will travel to any town within the same zone. Once the familiar has reached the town, you may cast spell 930 to open a gate.

==Binding Rune and Familiar Talismans==

A wizard may choose to consistently call the same type of familiar by use the binding rune. Once the wizard has found a fellow wizard to teach him this rune, he must create the binding rune using a brush, ink and blank runestone, all available in the local alchemist shops.

Once the wizard has a binding runestone, he must purchase a [[familiar talisman]] from the local Wizard Guild shop.
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the binding runestone at the familiar talisman in order to prepare it
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the prepared familiar talisman at the familiar of choice.
*Seal the familiar talisman by casting the Call Familiar spell at it.
*To summon the familiar, cast Call Familiar at the familiar talisman. Each familiar talisman has 20 charges.

Using the {{boldmono|GAZE}} verb to look at a talisman will reveal the familiar the talisman summons.

<pre{{log2}}>
>gaze my talisman
As your eyes traverse across the grain of an faewood weasel talisman, the misty image of a ragged-eared mangy-furred weasel fills your vision before slowly fading away.
</pre>

More advanced familiar talismans can be made via [[alchemy]].

__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Call Familiar''' enables</noinclude><includeonly>Enables</includeonly> a [[wizard]] to summon an animal to their side as a companion. Cast unaided, the spell calls out to the nearest appropriate animal in the region, resulting in an arbitrary familiar. The duration of the effect may be refreshed in order to retain a particular familiar over an extended period of time.<section end=description />

Call Familiar is used in conjunction with [[Familiar Gate (930)]] for easy transport to wherever the familiar is located.

At 40 or more ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle, a wizard can use {{boldmono|[[SUMMON]]}} to specify the type, adjective, article, and gender of the familiar they wish to summon. This method will always summon a familiar of the specified type while the other options have a chance to be different than specified.

Additional ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle increase the chance to summon a familiar with the specified detail by 1% per rank. The chance for the adjective to match is equal to the player's Wizard spell ranks, with a -20% modifier for the article, and a -40% modifier for the gender. For the purposes of this formula, ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle are capped at the wizard's level. As such, the maximum chances to apply the requested article and gender are 80% and 60% respectively.

;Syntax - SUMMON [gender] [[article] adjective] {type}

==Commands==
Familiars are controlled using {{boldmono|[[TELL]]}}.

==Lore Benefits==
===[[Elemental Lore, Air]]===
Every 100 skill bonus of Elemental Lore, Air will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill. Familiars use a "round system" for travel and finding people. A round fluctuates depending on the calculated distance. The lore benefit reduces those rounds.
<section begin=Air Lore Bonus/>
:{| {{prettytable}}
!align="right"|Elemental Lore, Air ranks||24||100
|-
|align="right"|Approximate % time reduction||25%||50%
|}
<section end=Air Lore Bonus/>
::''Not all thresholds shown, only those provided in release post. Benefit is hard to quantify.''

===[[Elemental Lore, Water]]===
50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to set an anchor to the naturally occurring earth[[node]] of a caster's choice. Setting an anchor will allow the mage to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO GO ANCHOR}}, and the familiar will return to that room. The controlling mage can set the anchor room remotely through the familiar using {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR ANCHOR}}. The anchor is a setting specific to the mage and does not need to be reset when a new familiar is cast. Each mage has one anchor setting.

75 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO TRAVEL <town>}}. The familiar will travel to any town within the same zone. Once the familiar has reached the town, you may cast spell 930 to open a gate.

==Binding Rune and Familiar Talismans==

A wizard may choose to consistently call the same type of familiar by use the binding rune. Once the wizard has found a fellow wizard to teach him this rune, he must create the binding rune using a brush, ink and blank runestone, all available in the local alchemist shops.

Once the wizard has a binding runestone, he must purchase a [[familiar talisman]] from the local Wizard Guild shop.
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the binding runestone at the familiar talisman in order to prepare it
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the prepared familiar talisman at the familiar of choice.
*Seal the familiar talisman by casting the Call Familiar spell at it.
*To summon the familiar, cast Call Familiar at the familiar talisman. Each familiar talisman has 20 charges.

Using the {{boldmono|GAZE}} verb to look at a talisman will reveal the familiar the talisman summons.

<pre{{log2}}>
>gaze my talisman
As your eyes traverse across the grain of an faewood weasel talisman, the misty image of a ragged-eared mangy-furred weasel fills your vision before slowly fading away.
</pre>

More advanced familiar talismans can be made via [[alchemy]].

__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Call Familiar''' enables</noinclude><includeonly>Enables</includeonly> a [[wizard]] to summon an animal to their side as a companion. Cast unaided, the spell calls out to the nearest appropriate animal in the region, resulting in an arbitrary familiar. The duration of the effect may be refreshed in order to retain a particular familiar over an extended period of time.<section end=description />

Call Familiar is used in conjunction with [[Familiar Gate (930)]] for easy transport to wherever the familiar is located.

At 40 or more ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle, a wizard can use {{boldmono|[[SUMMON]]}} to specify the type, adjective, article, and gender of the familiar they wish to summon. This method will always summon a familiar of the specified type while the other options have a chance to be different than specified.

Additional ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle increase the chance to summon a familiar with the specified detail by 1% per rank. The chance for the adjective to match is equal to the player's Wizard spell ranks, with a -20% modifier for the article, and a -40% modifier for the gender. For the purposes of this formula, ranks in the Wizard Base Spell Circle are capped at the wizard's level. As such, the maximum chances to apply the requested article and gender are 80% and 60% respectively.

;Syntax - SUMMON [gender] [[article] adjective] {type}

==Commands==
Familiars are controlled using {{boldmono|[[TELL]]}}.

==Lore Benefits==
===[[Elemental Lore, Air]]===
Every 100 skill bonus of Elemental Lore, Air will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill. Familiars use a "round system" for travel and finding people. A round fluctuates depending on the calculated distance. The lore benefit reduces those rounds.
<section begin=Air Lore Bonus/>
:{| {{prettytable}}
!align="right"|Elemental Lore, Air ranks||24||100
|-
|align="right"|Approximate % time reduction||25%||50%
|}
<section end=Air Lore Bonus/>
::''Not all thresholds shown, only those provided in release post. Benefit is hard to quantify.''

===[[Elemental Lore, Water]]===
50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to set an anchor to the naturally occurring earth[[node]] of a caster's choice. Setting an anchor will allow the mage to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO GO ANCHOR}}, and the familiar will return to that room. The controlling mage can set the anchor room remotely through the familiar using {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR ANCHOR}}. The anchor is a setting specific to the mage and does not need to be reset when a new familiar is cast. Each mage has one anchor setting.

75 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water will unlock the ability to {{boldmono|TELL FAMILIAR TO TRAVEL <town>}}. The familiar will travel to any town within the same zone. Once the familiar has reached the town, you may cast spell 930 to open a gate.

==Binding Rune and Familiar Talismans==

A wizard may choose to consistently call the same type of familiar by use the binding rune. Once the wizard has found a fellow wizard to teach him this rune, he must create the binding rune using a brush, ink and blank runestone, all available in the local alchemist shops.

Once the wizard has a binding runestone, he must purchase a [[familiar talisman]] from the local Wizard Guild shop.
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the binding runestone at the familiar talisman in order to prepare it
*{{boldmono|WAVE}} the prepared familiar talisman at the familiar of choice.
*Seal the familiar talisman by casting the Call Familiar spell at it.
*To summon the familiar, cast Call Familiar at the familiar talisman. Each familiar talisman has 20 charges.

Using the {{boldmono|GAZE}} verb to look at a talisman will reveal the familiar the talisman summons.

<pre{{log2}}>
>gaze my talisman
As your eyes traverse across the grain of an faewood weasel talisman, the misty image of a ragged-eared mangy-furred weasel fills your vision before slowly fading away.

More advanced familiar talismans can be made via [[alchemy]].

Naamit (prime)/Kelleron

NAAMIT: /* Chapter Nine: When the Mirror Speaks, the Reflection Lies */

{{creative-work | title = Kelleron, artifice of an Issimir Giantkin's kegritsha in pieces| type = short story| author = Naamit| author-displayed = [[Naamit (prime)|Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani]] and the Bloody Harpies | date = 2024-04-04}}

The working title for this short story is called Kelleron, artifice of an [[Issimir Ogre Clan|Issimir]] [[Giantkin]]'s kegritsha in pieces

== Prologue ==

The Kelleron Orbs: Lessons in Issimir Loyalty. Bolbeli, Lonmala, and Nolkari were sisters who ignored their vows to one another.

As the eldest sister, Bolbeli carried a swaggering confidence that often bordered on arrogance, but she strove to take care of her sisters. The youngest, Nolkari was known for her lust for knowledge which led her into a dangerous downward spiral. When sharp her mind, she found solutions where brute force failed. Yet the middle sister, Lonmala, embodied unwavering determination, and a penchant for sleight of hand. Though less physically imposing than Bolbeli, she was scrappy as a street rat and had the scars to prove it.

Their strengths were unmatched and judgment often clouded by impulsiveness. Some would call them greedy.

Here are just a few of their stories, many more of which are inexplicably absent.

== Bolbeli and the Bard ==
A storm raged outside The Roaring Cougar, the wind a banshee's wail clawing at the rickety tavern. Still outside, Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari huddled for warmth, their breath misting in the frigid air. Ale wasn't their desire, but instead, the silver orbs rumored to be in Atmakina's possession. Legend spoke of a twisted game: make her laugh thrice, and the orbs were yours.

Bolbeli, the warrior more comfortable with axe than anecdote, surprisingly took charge. "Forget flowery ballads and bawdy limericks," she rumbled, her voice a low growl. "Atmakina feasts on darkness. We need a tale so morbid, so grotesque it yanks a laugh straight outta her pierced heart!"

Nolkari, a hint of unease flickering in her eyes, nodded curtly. "Exactly. We paint a picture so chilling, so delightfully disturbing, it tickles that dark corner of her soul."

Lonmala shot Bolbeli a questioning look. "No drunken sing-alongs?"

Bolbeli slammed a fist into her opposite palm, a feral grin splitting her face. "She don't even drink! Darker, sister! Darker than a troll's dungeon! A story so horrifying, it makes even the toughest warrior wanna wet their pants!"

Nolkari rolled her eyes. With a heavy thud, the sisters pushed open the creaky tavern door. A cacophony of laughter and the rhythmic strum of a lute washed over them. At the center of the room sat Atmakina, a woman etched with the lines of countless tales, her eyes glinting with a hint of unsettling amusement. The air hung heavy with woodsmoke and ale, the patrons a tapestry of boisterous revelry.

Bolbeli, never one for subtlety, stomped forward, her voice a booming challenge. "Atmakina, weaver of twisted skeins!" she bellowed. "We come not with silly songs or forced merriment. We bring you darkness, a tale whispered among shadowed alleys."

Intrigued by the bold approach, Atmakina leaned back in her chair to reveal a single silver orb glinting between her breasts. "A darkness, you say? Entertain me then, my bold child."

Bolbeli puffed out her chest and launched into a chilling narrative: A tale of a king obsessed with preserving not just the trophies of his hunt, but his entire court, and then the village beyond. What first started as caryatid columns outside his palace, quickly spiraled out of control. The king, she boomed, replaced his courtiers with meticulously crafted stone effigies - their vacant eyes, frozen smiles, and lifelike flesh a constant reminder of his own mortality. Bolbeli painted a picture of a court populated by taxidermied corpses, their vacant stares a constant reminder of the king's morbid quest to preserve his own life.

The tavern's patrons, initially boisterous, fidgeted on their stools, the image sending shivers down spines. By the time Bolbeli finished, a tense silence had fallen. Atmakina, however, wasn't gripped by horror. Instead, a slow, sadistic smile stretched across her face. A laugh, dark and cruel, erupted from her lips, echoing through the tavern like the scraping of bones. It wasn't a laugh of fear, but of a predator savoring the morbid artistry of the story.

As the laughter subsided, tears streamed down Atmakina's face, but they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of twisted pleasure. "One down," she rasped, her voice dripping with amusement. "Just one. Impressive, warrior. You have a talent for the macabre."

While Atmakina's attention was fully focused on Bolbeli, a flicker of opportunity shone in Lonmala's eyes. With the patience of a cat on the hunt, she eyed up the bard's instrument case giving herself silent promise of the future.

The sisters exchanged a knowing glance, a silent pact sealed. One orb secured, two more to go, and perhaps a taste of their own twisted game along the way. The challenge had just begun, and they weren't playing by Atmakina's rules, they were playing their own.

== Chapter One: A Bard's Tale ==

Atmakina, her weathered face illuminated by the warm glow of the fireplace, surveyed the room. Children perched on stools, eyes wide with anticipation, while seasoned adventurers leaned in, eager for a taste of the tale.

"Gather 'round, yougins, adventurers and seasoned caribou salt licks," Atmakina rasped, her voice a comforting rumble of weird humor. "Tonight, I weave a tale of three sisters, a hidden treasure, and a test that chilled even the bravest hearts – the legend of the Kelleron and the Kegritsha." A hush fell over the room. Atmakina chuckled wetly.

"Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari," she began, her voice dropping to a thick whisper, "these weren't ordinary names, mind you. In the forgotten tongue, they meant something quite curious – Three Wishes, Two Secrets, and One Trial..."

A giantkin nursing a mug of ale in the background let out a chuckle, yielding a delicious tingle of unease in the children. Atmakina, ever the bard, paused for effect. "These sisters," she continued, her voice painting a vivid picture, "were giantkin, strong and adventurous, each possessing a magnificent, magical orb. Now, these orbs held immense power, but also a touch of mischief."

You see," Atmakina explained, "the orbs loved to test those who sought them. They'd hide in the most unexpected places, leading brave adventurers on merry chases, and for each one you found, you could have a wish!" A relieved sigh escaped the young listeners.

Atmakina grinned, her smile lined with wisdom. The children, rapt with interest, scooted closer. "But there was a catch," she said, her voice dropping a notch lower. "The true treasure, the sisters promised, could only be claimed by those who solved the secret of Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari."

The giantkin laughed heartily in the background.

"And that's the origin of the tradition we now celebrate as Kelleron, my little ones.

Though the three sisters are long gone, we celebrate the blood bond of kegritsha with you through a chance to reunite the orbs. But remember," she warned, her gaze sweeping across the room, "even the most beautiful treasures can have a hidden challenge."

The children and adventurers exchanged curious glances. "What kind of secrets are these, old Grinny Atmakina?"

Atmakina concluded, her voice laced with a hint of mystery equal to mirth, "Well, that's for when you deliver the first orb to me."

== Chapter Two: Never Go To Bed Mad ==

On their way home, Nokki relayed stories he'd heard from other children. When darkness set in, Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki huddled around their pathetic little fire of dung, a stark chill settled upon them. Nokki's words about the legend's origin still tainted the area like a brume of hope, were such a thing ever to exist. Having taken matters to heart, Nikka however, retained a beaming smile her face had gripped for hours. "We can do this, because we ask someone who can read them when we find them!"

"Okay," Nikka finally said, her voice firm despite the adolescent tone, "we need a plan. First things first, what are we even looking for?" Nirri, ever the thinker, furrowed his brow. "Maybe there's something in Atmakina's story we missed."

"We heard it twice. It's just a silly tale about sparkly balls and wishywitches," Nokki complains shortly, his impatience obvious.

"Maybe not," Nikka countered. "Why orbs? Why not some fancy sword or a pile of uh......silver?"

Nokki shrugged. "Magic, I gue.... Oh!" Suddenly, a memory flickered in Nokki's mind. He remembered his grandfather, weathered hands calloused from years of mould and dye making, meticulously designing coin stamps for the One Elanthian Mint. "The etchings ...!"

"The etchings!" Nirri echoed, his voice laced with mirth. "Maybe the orbs aren't just any orbs. I mean, they're made of silver, with etchings that tell SOMEONE, something! Magic, I guess though..."

Nikka's eyes widened. "That makes sense! Silver is our currency, right? And the fancy coins have markings." Her subsequent physical reaction was far too loud for comfort, covering the complete vocal range of a young child's dawning epiphany. ''''WORDS! DATES! CLUES!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!WE GOTTA GO NAAAAOOOOWW!!''''

Nokki's jaw long ago drooped, eyelids heavy, "What are we even talking about anymore?"

The children had nearly tipped over with exhaustion -- or hypothermia. It could be difficult to tell.

== Chapter Three: Morning Machination ==

Far too early the next morning, the trio once again brought light to their bleak existence by blathering possible meanings of the bard Atmakina's tale. Nokki crouched by the flickering fire, which cast playful shadows on the faces of the younger children huddled beside him. The usual excitement for his stories was replaced by a nervous tension. He glanced at Nikka, still working off energy from the last night's excitement. Beside her, Nirri, the smallest of the three, seemed preoccupied.

"So that story the old woman told at the tavern?" Nokki began, his voice quiet beneath his threadbare blanket. "About the kegritsha's sisters and their treasure hunt?" "Well," Nokki continued, leaning closer, "the truth about the sisters and their hunt is... different."

Nikka and Nirri exchanged nervous glances. The whimsical image of sparkly orbs and hidden treasures felt a lot less fun now, after Nokki's goading before their senses were fully awakened.

Nirri's eyes widened. "But the hunt..." Nikka stammered, "isn't it part of Kelleron's celebration?" Nikka murmured in confusion, "Different how?"

Nokki's voice dropped to a flat note, "The sisters weren't kind, and those weren't just any magic balls. They craved power, a darkness that demanded a terrible price."

Nokki shook his head. Nikka and Nirri looked at each other as a seed of uncertainty blossomed. Could they be those people? Were they strong enough, brave enough? More importantly, could they work together well enough to win at Kelleron?

"The whispers say," Nokki continued, "the kegritsha's power requires perfect balance, like a three-legged stool. If one leg is weak, the whole thing falls apart."

A thoughtful silence descended upon the three children amid the burgeoning din of the morning. They knew each other well, they knew each other's strengths and they knew each other's weaknesses. Nikka was affable, quick, and resourceful, Nirri was clever and good at solving puzzles, and Nokki, the eldest, possessed a wisdom of age and leadership (a protective bully, truly).

Maybe, just maybe, they could be the right combination?

"Ummm," Nirri finally spoke, his voice small but determined, "if we find the orbs, if we work together, could we..?" he trailed off, unable to finish the question, though it ended on an up note.

Nokki leaned over with a grin, "Maybe," he said. "Maybe the orb's wealth can be ours. But it's really filled with danger, and if you really think you are strong enough, united enough, with ME...AS US, to face the darkness and...?"

The fire sputtered, casting a brief flashing glow on their three faces. The playful game of hide and seek was gone, replaced by a daunting challenge. Could their friendship be the key to unlocking the kegritsha's bond, or would the darkness tear them apart? The quandary settled into in the children's morning breaths, but time was ticking, they were not getting any younger.

Finally, Nikka nodded and said with a tone too determined for her age, "We can do this!" and the two boys followed suit in an echo of repetition. The matter was then sealed upon a six-fingered pinky swear. Just as it should be.

== Chapter Four: The Cavernous Vault ==

The morning sun cast long shadows as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki approached the imposing structure known as the Cavernous Vault. Carved from imposing brutalist limestone, it loomed over the bustling marketplace like a bulwark. A scale-shaped bronze plaque above the heavy doors proclaimed itself as a bank.

Banks are where trust is forged in silver.

Nirri, ever the cautious one, swallowed hard. "Are we sure this is the right place? We're looking for information about magic orbs."

Nokki scoffed. "You scared of a little stone building? Besides, who else keeps track of ancient traditions better than bankers and actuaries?"

Nikka squinted her eyes, still questioning the order of operation. "Maybe a wizard, or a historian? Or the bard named Atmakina?" she murmured under her breath, energy waning with the blooming day.

Taking a deep breath, Nikka pushed open the heavy doors with a creak. Inside, the air was still and thick; it smelled faintly of parchment and polished metal. Twin black marble counters gleamed on either side of a huddle of gruff-looking Issimir giantkin, some with thick beards and even thicker account ledgers, negotiating in adult language about adult things, like money, grain, war, and ores.

At the far end of the vast hall was a towering figure in formal attire, pacing back and forth, partially obscured by a half-walled privacy screen. A forward-jutting beard added severity to his already imposing, heavy gaze. This, they assumed, must be the bank manager.

Nikka cleared her throat, trying to sound confident. "Excuse me, sir? We were hoping to speak with someone about the tradition of Kelleron."

The manager blinked, his expression unreadable. "Kelleron? Do you mean the annual interest rate adjustment for high-yield silver deposits?"

Nokki: "There is?" Nirri piped up, his voice squeaky. "No, no, not that kind of Kelleron! It's about the hunt for the three orbs and the Kegritsha's power!"

The manager's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He cleared his throat with a dry cough that sounded suspiciously unnecessary. "Ah, yes," he finally boomed, his voice echoing in the cavernous hall. "The whimsical children's tale about sparkly balls and wishes? Didn't realize anyone still believed those old stories."

Nikka protested, "It's not a story! It's a tradition! We are here to discover the secret of the Kelleron!"

The manager chuckled again, this time openly. He sat back down in his chair, placing his hands behind his head. "Alright, alright, settle down young vaultlings. Tell you what. There might be a dusty old scroll buried somewhere in our archives that mentions this... Kelleron thing. But it'll cost you."

Nirri's eyes widened. "Cost us what?"

The manager grinned, a glint of mischief in his eye. '''"An orb."'''

Nikka burst out, "B..But we haven't even FOUND any!"

The banker continued right over top of her, "If you answer correctly, I'll see what I can dig up. Fail, and you'll be signed up for a lifetime of high service fee junior savings account rates faster than you can say 'A Pea Why'."

Nikka exchanged a worried glance with Nirri. This wasn't quite what they expected. But before they could back out, the manager delivered his booming his riddle with surprising diction and deftness of meter:

: "I flow freely, yet have no form.
: I can enrich or leave you in great harm.
: I am the blood of trade and war,
: The clink in a merchant's purse,
: the weight of a warrior's score.

: ''What am I?"''

Silence filled the Cavernous Vault, as by now the stuffy men in the middle had vacated the area for a remarkably early lunch break.

Nikka and Nirri racked their brains, their confidence dwindling. Before they doomed to poorly performing savings accounts, Nirri spoke up, a hint of pride in his voice. "Silver!" he declared.

The manager's grin widened further. "Excellent deduction, youngins! Alright, I'll see what I can unearth for you. Wait here."

The sharply bearded banker disappeared behind a heavy curtain at the back of the vault, leaving the children staring after him, unsure if they'd just gotten closer to their goal or stumbled into a kindred version of a twisted joke. Before long, the bank manager reappeared and gave each child a small sack and instructed the guards liberally stationed around the bank to assist the children in finding the door.

Just as lunchtime was nearly upon them, too, they found the door and reentered the bustling marketplace to blanket their senses in the odor of natural habitation. Nikka, Nokki, and Nirri's quest for Kelleron, it seemed, was only getting more interesting, and perhaps a little more confusing...

== Chapter Five: Secrets in Silver ==

Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hiked far away from the Cavernous Vault after being ejected in a firm, but friendly fashion. That perplexing encounter with the banker - a riddle for a dusty scroll? And what were they supposed to do with these small sacks they now clutched in their hands?

"Hey, what's in these?" said Nikka as she untied the drawstring of her sack. Inside, nestled amongst shredded documents with official looking penmanship, was a huge chocolate egg wrapped in silvery foil. Nirri and Nokki, equally curious, peeked into their own sacks to find identical treats stowed carefully away.

"What is it?" Nirri questioned, his eyes wide with wonder.

Nokki scoffed, a playful jab aimed at his brother. "Don't tell me you've never seen a chocolate egg before! It's a treat, silly."

Unwrapping the silver foil, Nirri brought the chocolate orb to his nose and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing! Like... like..."

Confusion washed over Nikka, which turned quickly into incredulity until, "Ooooh ....! Like rich milk chocolate with a hint of mint?" Nikka finished for him, a smile spreading across her face as she succumbed to the sumptuous sweet.

With a shared look of agreement, the three devoured their chocolates, the sweet relief momentarily pushing back the weight of their quest.

Nokki mumbled through his chocolate, "Maybe it was his way of apologizing for wasting our time. Or maybe he could tell we were hungry after all his talking." He suddenly stopped eating, his eyes widening as he unfolded the crumbled silver wrapper. "Wait a minute! Look!" Peering closely each child found marked into the underside of the foil, a thinly inked symbol. It resembled a stylized eye with a teardrop beneath it.

"What is it?" Nirri asked, peering over Nokki's shoulder.

"Maybe these aren't just snacks after all," Nikka whispered before he could answer. "That symbol... I think I've seen it before. In the tavern, on Atmakina's cloak!"

A spark of excitement ignited in their eyes with a newfound sense of urgency. Could this seemingly insignificant symbol be a clue? Perhaps the banker knew more about the Kelleron tradition than he let on, and these chocolate orbs were a subtle way of passing on a message! The trio decided to revisit Atmakina at the tavern that evening.

Nirri also offered, "maybe I can pick up some clues about that symbol on my messenger route this afternoon too?"

Nikka nodding in agreement added, "Ya I will ask the fishwives what they know too!"

Perhaps the symbol on the chocolate foils, and the information they gleaned from the banker's riddle, would unlock another piece of the puzzle of this Kelleron business.

== Chapter Six: Overture ==

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the bustling marketplace as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hurried towards the familiar glow emanating from the tavern. Tonight, they weren't just there for company – they carried a newfound clue and a burning purpose. Pushing open the creaky door, they were greeted by a wave of warmth, spiced aromas, and Atmakina's droning lute. Finding a corner table, they ordered steaming mugs of milk, waiting for the bard's final notes.

Seeing an entrance, Nikka scrambled up to Atmakina and retold their encounter with the banker and the curious silver chocolates adorned with a symbol – an eye weeping a single tear.

Atmakina's eyes widened. "The Weeping Eye of Celiel," she breathed. "A powerful symbol of the snowy labyrinth, where whispers of forgotten dreams dance on the frosted air."

Nirri shivered as he cupped his frothy mug of milk. "A snowy labyrinth? Sounds even spookier! Could this be where we find the orbs of Kelleron?"

Atmakina replied vaguely, "Perhaps. Legends rarely reveal their secrets easily. But," her eyes twinkled, "the snowy labyrinth holds echoes of the past. Celiel, a great elemental, is said to be sleep within its heart, and her stillness prevents avalanches."

Nokki scoffed. "Another riddle? Another quest?" Nirri punched Nokki in the hip. "STOP IT!"

Atmakina chuckled. "Patience, young ones. You already have a clue – the Weeping Eye." She eyed their empty mugs and the discarded napkins on the table. "Speaking of the symbol," she continued, her voice taking on a mischievous tone, "those chocolate orbs you enjoyed – did you notice anything else on the wrapper besides the symbol?"

The children exchanged sheepish glances. Realization dawned on Nikka's face. "The silver wrapper! We... we ate everything!"

Atmakina chuckled, a glint in her eye. "A valuable lesson learned, wouldn't you say? But luckily, I happen to have a spare." Reaching into a hidden pouch on her belt, she revealed a single, glimmering silver orb identical to the one that encased delicious chocolate treats. The Weeping Eye symbol gleamed proudly on its surface, interconnectedness of its linework clearly matched up in a way nearly impossible to reconstruct from their treats..

The children's eyes widened with excitement. Nikka grasped the orb carefully, a sense of wonder washing over her, but she noticed it had a particular nose tingling odor.

Atmakina's smile turned enigmatic. "This orb is not made of chocolate, if that’s what you are thinking child," she said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "It may hold the key to navigating the snowy labyrinth. Legends speak of its power as a beacon, guiding you through the icy maze where secrets whisper in the wind that drives men mad."

A heartbeat of surprised silence followed. Nokki, skeptical, chimed in, "But Atmakina, it smells like choc...!”

Atmakina's eyes flickered with something bordering on impatience as she cut the girl off, "Ah, that's the beauty of legends, little one. The power lies in believing. This orb could be a key, a beacon, or perhaps… just a delicious treat. But the magic unfolds only if you're willing to take a chance, and I will tell you now you will not succeed without this silver orb."

The weight of the orb felt heavier in Nikka's hand as she contemplated her options. Far too many potential scenarios for a child to reasonably muddle through, yet there was a potential it really a powerful tool. Or a playful trick? The uncertainty thrummed through her, but it was overshadowed by a thrill of anticipation. Collective grins erupted upon both Nirri and Nikka's faces as they scrambled to their feet.

Atmakina's words ignited a spark of determination within the two younger children -- But not Nokki. Cut off, he suddenly grew silent, allowing everything to play out at a generous arm's length.

"Excellent!" Atmakina rasped wetly, her voice regaining its usual cheer. "The snowy labyrinth awaits, and stories it holds for brave adventurers like yourselves."

With hearts pounding with anticipation, the two younger children allowed Atmakina back to her task. Nokki had little to say as they re-entered the setting sun cast an orange glow across the horizon as the children reentered fresh air. The silver orb, a tangible piece of their quest, felt quite warm in Nikka's hand now. No longer just children seeking answers – they were explorers, ready to face the unknown and icy challenges of the snowy labyrinth with the wisdom of their new and powerful friend, the bard Atmakina.

== Chapter Seven: The Rapacity of Lonmala ==

A shiver danced down Lonmala's spine as she watched the children wrestle for the silver orb in the darkness. Each tug, each playful shove, sent a jolt of something sharp and primal through her. The woman's monotone pronouncements about resilience mocked her. Here was the true symbol of resilience – a magical artifact held by carefree children.

Lonmala craved the orb's power, the promise of overcoming any obstacle. Her initial resolve to reject it crumbled under the weight of her desperate need to save her sisters. Bolbeli's pride needed curbing, Nolkari's misplaced confidence needed correction. With the orb, she could guide them, protect them, force them to see reason.

The playful fight escalated. One of the older boys snatched the orb and ran, a trail of laughter echoing across the sand. She lunged after the boy, tackling him with a force that surprised even her. The other children, momentarily stunned, then swarmed. Their playful fight morphed into a feral struggle, fueled by a territorial instinct far beyond their age.

Lonmala fought back, her movements fueled not by resilience, but by a simmering rage. Sand flew, cries pierced the air, the silver orb lay forgotten in the dust. As the dust settled, Lonmala stood panting, the children scattering back, fear replacing their earlier mirth.

She snatched the orb, its cool metal surface offering no comfort. Lonmala gripped the orb tightly, a bitter taste in her mouth. She had succumbed to her baser instincts, the very antithesis of the resilience she sought to buidl.

Leaving the snowasis, Lonmala carried a heavy burden – the orb, a symbol of her failure, and a growing darkness within her that threatened to consume the last vestiges of her self-control. She had what she thought she needed, but the victory tasted like ash on her tongue. The path to saving her sisters seemed to stretch before her, not paved with resilience, but with the shadows of her own rapacity.

Postscript: On the other hand, she won the fight. It was three on one, and children are of a tender age so late in life now. Perhaps, in the harsh calculus of survival this victory wasn't a sign of weakness, but a pragmatic necessity!

== Chapter Eight: Nolkari and the Hall of Mirrors ==

Nolkari, the youngest sister, was not good at physical feats or perilous adventures, but she reveled in a challenge worthy of her sharp mind. Unlike her sisters, she fantasized the mental gymnastics of foregone cultures through a labyrinth of patchwork knowledge.

Several months ago, Lonmala had given Nolkari a birthday gift - a voucher to the Night at the Academy adventure tour. It was advertised as a self-improvement mental endurance challenge for the gifted, which was just the sort of self-care she wanted and didn't know she desperately needed.

Nolkari had helped her sisters locate word of their orbs, but still she had nothing. Having finally come to absolutely zero logical conclusions on where to start looking for her own orb, she still had not technically even started putting possibility into planning. This adventure tour however, was a perfect distraction.

Whispers of its halls echoing with the relics and mementos of the long-dead, was just what she needed to rub her itch - an itch she might note, had yet to include any specific mention of the orb she was determined to find. Maybe it would help her focus.

In truth, Nolkari thrived on the puzzles encountered along the way, with one exception. As she solved each riddle in her hunt for history, Nolkari had to navigate significant danger. She remembered seeing one void in the garden, but somehow miraculously skirted the others.

Throughout the quest, those shrubbery were still adorned with trinkets, intricate silver symbols, and ribbons of ancient reliquary. Weirdest thing. She learned about the topics in great detail, filling her soul with the satisfaction of a pursuit and job well done. Finally, her font of knowledge full, she reached the end.

Next to the door, a disembodied voice boasted with an unsettling amusement from somewhere further back, "Welcome, Nolkari the Clever," it rasped. "Wit can be a double-edged sword, and danger can come at every angle. Are you prepared to face Your Reflection too?"

Adjacent wainscotting separated to reveal a concealed door that scraped open, nothing visible beyond.

A million thoughts flooded her mind, ranging from 'is this part of the tour?' to calculating risks of what it could actually be for, could it bring her success (and in what) against failure, what could she have to lose? Insight, death, curiosity, confusion, doubt, opportunity loss, knowledge, fear.

_Stop!_

"Yes." Nolkari entered. Door closing behind her, the light went out.

Slowly, a faint candlelight appeared in the distance of her periphery. Drawn by the solitary flame, she turned and walked toward it only to collide face-first with a smooth, but an unseen blockade.

Coming around an unknown amount of time later, another light appeared in the distance. As it brightened the candle burst a kaleidoscope of blinding light to reveal a fully enclosed, spherical room of mirrors that stretched to infinity. The experience reflected herself back at herself in an endless feedback loop to create a sensory overload drowning her in rapid flashes of light.

She woke up in the garden, beneath a shredded shrubbery devoid of trinkets. An old memory bubbled up from her past, and caused her to reflect for a pregnant moment. With a flash of insight, she realized she understood herself a bit better than she did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-knowledge was supposed to be a pleasant one.

When Nolkari finally emerged from the academy, the silver orb was clutched tightly in her chest. It was a prize hard-won that indelibly fractured her mind.

== Chapter Nine: When the Mirror Speaks, the Reflection Lies ==

News of the sisters' exploits echoed far and wide indeed. Their stories were told to the children of the Issimir, carried on migratory tongues. Bolbeli, ever the boastful giantkin warrior, reveled in her victories, ego swelling with each conquest. Lonmala, consumed by avarice, amassed wealth through dubious means, her hunger for riches insatiable but not entirely dishonest either; she picked up a job at the bank of all places. Meanwhile Nolkari, once a prodigy, had succumbed to the whispers of the silver orb. Her mind fractured and her speech occasionally a stream of nonsensical ramblings while she volunteered sorting books in the Library. The seeds of suspicion for her were sown with Lonmala's birthday gift – the voucher for the ''Night at the Academy'' adventure tour. Nolkari's relentless search for the silver orb had borne no fruit, yet the academy tour, strangely silent on the orb's whereabouts, led her right to it.

The serendipity was outside the realm of probability. It all felt too orchestrated.

Further fueling Nolkari's paranoia were hushed conversations between Lonmala and Bolbeli. Nolkari, ever a master of deduction, gleaned fragments of their conversations – cryptic warnings about combining forces. She was determined to find out what was wrong, why they were excluding her. Even if it was her own subconscious doing.

Bobeli craved the rush of her own orb, believing it granted her her unparalleled prowess. Lonmala half-jokingly asked Bobeli if she could have both silver orbs, because she had another score to settle. Meanwhile, Nolkari remained fixated on her orb of...Nolkari, its whispers feeding the delusions that drove her to madness.

Each episode was an uncrossable boundary beginning to crumble. In time, they became so dysfunctional their paths rarely crossed, each driven by twisted desires that broke their trust that should have been forged in silver.

The once unbreakable bond between them, forged in years of shared experiences, began to fray. Days bled into weeks, with each sister isolated in their own pursuit, driven by a twisted desire fueled by the silver orbs. Their trust, once as strong as silver itself, now lay shattered on the cold floor.

One starless night, a frantic urge propelled Nolkari towards Bolbeli's quarters. Bursting into the dimly lit room, Nolkari shrieked, "THIEF!" Bolbeli, startled awake, found Nolkari staring wildly, her words nonsensical. "Enough gibberish!" Bolbeli roared, her hand seeking and desperately not finding the hilt of a sword typically kept bedside. "Leave me be!"

Just then, Lonmala emerged, a glimmer of something in her hand and struggle ensued, the sisters locked in a desperate fight. Nolkari, lost in the chaos, tried to intervene, her flailing limbs more hindrance than help.

As the fight raged, objects began tumbling from Lonmala's cloak – three silver spheres. They bounced wildly across the chamber floor, a blinding display in the otherwise dim light. Hypnotized, the sisters stopped fighting, their gazes fixed on the moving spheres that were once THEIR orbs - but once drawn together, the air shimmered and soured into a searing rift between the young women and the oddly bouncing silver orbs.

In an instant, the silver balls, the three sisters, and everything within a ten-foot radius were sucked into the void, plummeting through a swirling vortex into the unknown.

== Chapter Ten: A good positive attitude never hurts. Too much. ==

Sickening lurches somewhere between drowning and electrocution thrust the sisters catapulting into a violent thud upon a grassy plain, along with a featherbed and tattered linens. One moment they were inside, then outside, and very much not at home. Stunned, the young women looked bewildered at their new surroundings as they fumbled over identical silver orbs, each now indistinguishable from the next. Fields in a veritable sea of gold, stretched in all directions where the air hummed with a strange energy. Quite close to their mysterious arrival stood a colossal gleaming silver tower piercing the sky, its chromatic surface sending a blinding radiance in the afternoon sun's harsh angle.

"Where are we?" Lonmala whispered, the cool sensation of a silver orb providing grounding weight against her chest - despite all that happened.

"When are we? Wait, this is Silveruud. From Night at the Academy,," Nolkari said, her countenance perfectly calm as she scanned the horizon. Several moments later she said, "The fabric between realities is thin here."

Bolbeli, her usual bravado tempered by the experience, nodded. "I feel it," she rumbled, her hand instinctively going to the hilt of her sword, only to find none there.

As they approached the towering structure, a group of people passed them, unlike any they had seen before. Clad in flowing robes of deep indigo, their skin was lightly spotted in blue and silver, and their eyes glowed with an inner light. One had long silver braids and matching eyes that mirrored the sisters' orbs. They, in particular, approached the sisters with a fearlessly curious smile.

"Welcome, travelers," the person said in a dreamy lilt. "We have been expecting you. The mists spoke of your arrival and stirred the very fabric of Silveruud."

The sisters exchanged nervous glances, then at their hands, which still possessed all ten fingers. Lonmala with her silver tongue stepped forward. "We are Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala Kelleron and are looking for honest work if you'll have us."

The woman's smile widened with each word. "Ah, the bearers of the silver orbs, the Kelleron Sisters. Your reputation and legend precede you. Silveruud is a meeting point for beings from differen...walks of life. Our balance is threatened by those who seek to exploit our vulnerabilities even while we defend eccentricity."

Since their greeter never actually inquired how or why the three sisters acquired the orbs, a flickering bevy of silent conversations crossed between Lonmala and Bolbeli's features. A new adventure? Or an end to nothing left to lose.

Nolkari volunteered in an unusually calm voice, "How may we be of assistance?"

"Indeed," the woman replied. "Guardians. But not just protectors. We require a kegritsha who we can trust. A kegritsha who bloody well knows how to work together." She gestured towards the gleaming tower, and toward the bustling city circumnavigating its fortified periphery. "Within its spire lies a chamber where your Kegritsha will be interviewed in a mock trial. Are you willing to undergo the trials?"

The sisters, having come this far, exchanged confused impressionable looks. Lonmala, the darkness within her pondering the opportunity, squared her shoulders. Bolbeli nodded resolutely and yet Nolkari never actually met the woman's gaze, but it looked like she tried.

"Yes." they declared in unison, half blurted and half vowed, the feeling of opportunity and obligation palpable, and far stronger than any immediate aversion to run for their lives.

The silver-eyed woman smiled warmly. "Then follow me, Kelleron sisters. The forging of your new Kegritsha begins now."

As they ventured into the night dark spire, the sisters knew their journey had taken a new turn. They were no longer just individuals seeking individual power, nor could they be. With this mission, they were a team bound by these identical silver orbs. Relics they clearly could not wield alone, and clearly could not tell apart.

The trials within the spire awaited, a test of their combined strength, wit, and resilience. This was the first step in remediating the relationship of their troubled kegritsha. Could this dysfunctional team, unlike any other, truly be destined to safeguard a delicate balance for Silveruud?

Only time would tell, and there was no going back.

== Chapter Eleven: Shades of Grey ==

The Everfrost wind, a banshee's keening wail, scoured the desolate plains. Blistering snow stung exposed flesh. Faces numbed despite bundles of scavenged furs, Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala resembled a ragged triumvirate in a land perpetually cloaked in winter's icy grip.

Their objective: Find the one silver orb that can cast a reflection where night devours the day. Not merely locating it sufficed – a more crucial task loomed: verifying its authenticity. Legends whispered of a chamber where "night devoured the day," a place so dark it cast no shadows, and only a specific orb held the key to navigating that tenebrous realm.

Days bled into weeks, a monotonous blur of treacherous mountain passes, bartered supplies wrangled from wary halflings, and narrow escapes from territorial giants. Lonmala navigated them through the harsh landscape, her silver-developing tongue feigning their curiosity to their migration - Work had dried up in Wehnimer's Landing due to business closures and insurance payout failures upon repeat and frequent torchings.

Finally, an ancient map, bartered from a reclusive hermit, led them to the foot of a colossal glacier at the very end of the caravan's route. Even then, they had days of travel across the great snowy glacier until finally, a peak rose through the ice. Bearing closer to the rocky crag presenting the only thing other than ice in all directions, the women chose to make camp near its base. The last breath of daylight brought a glint from high upon the peak to cast an eerie light back across the snowfield. Nolkari's eyes looped side to side as she gestured broadly overhead, "An endless gray!"

The women argued for several hours about whether to go up or keep camp for the night. So they agreed to trust one another, pack up camp as Nolkari was leaving with or without them. Bolbeli punched Nolkari's lights out, and everyone got a good night's sleep after Bolbeli drank the last of the good stuff. Lonmala took a look around anyway, since someone needed to remember where it was.

Dawn left them on the dark side of the peak and the glacier itself radiated an unnatural chill, worsening the effect. Whatever remained of their energy sputtered as they ventured up the rocky surface, the air thickening, shadows deepening. An unseen pressure tightened their chests as the harsh, icy mists set in deeper.

A sudden shriek tore from Nolkari's throat. She pointed towards a gaping crevasse, where at its bottom lay discarded and shrouded in the swirling mist a singular object – a dull silver orb that barely emanated an ephemeral...Presence. Close examination revealed a chilling anomaly: despite a deep crack planing its surface, nothing – not even the sisters themselves – cast a shadow or reflection upon its dull exterior.

Lonmala backpedaled with a "whoa!" Nolkari, however, remained unnervingly confident. "One thing is certain, this is not the end for us, it is only the beginning, the heart of endless gray it absorbs reflections, but it is truly a mirror for the place where the night drinks the day.

A weighty silence descended. Could Nolkari, in her fractured state, be correct? Here, in this desolate wasteland, they had stumbled upon an anomaly mirroring the chamber of no shadows. Yet, the risk was immense. Choosing the wrong Orb could send them down a perilous path, squandering precious time and resources.

The decision hung heavy in the frigid air. This was not just a test of finding an orb, but of discerning its legitimacy. The trio withdrew to regroup - the fate of their quest, perhaps even the freedom of Silveruud, hinged on their next move. The silence stretched, broken only by the mournful sigh of the Everfrost wind, as they contemplated the orb just....existing....at the bottom of the crevasse. What secrets did it hold? Was it the key to the chamber of no shadows, or a cruel deception leading them further astray...

The working title for this short story is called Kelleron, artifice of an [[Issimir Ogre Clan|Issimir]] [[Giantkin]]'s kegritsha in pieces

== Prologue ==

The Kelleron Orbs: Lessons in Issimir Loyalty. Bolbeli, Lonmala, and Nolkari were sisters who ignored their vows to one another.

As the eldest sister, Bolbeli carried a swaggering confidence that often bordered on arrogance, but she strove to take care of her sisters. The youngest, Nolkari was known for her lust for knowledge which led her into a dangerous downward spiral. When sharp her mind, she found solutions where brute force failed. Yet the middle sister, Lonmala, embodied unwavering determination, and a penchant for sleight of hand. Though less physically imposing than Bolbeli, she was scrappy as a street rat and had the scars to prove it.

Their strengths were unmatched and judgment often clouded by impulsiveness. Some would call them greedy.

Here are just a few of their stories, many more of which are inexplicably absent.

== Bolbeli and the Bard ==
A storm raged outside The Roaring Cougar, the wind a banshee's wail clawing at the rickety tavern. Still outside, Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari huddled for warmth, their breath misting in the frigid air. Ale wasn't their desire, but instead, the silver orbs rumored to be in Atmakina's possession. Legend spoke of a twisted game: make her laugh thrice, and the orbs were yours.

Bolbeli, the warrior more comfortable with axe than anecdote, surprisingly took charge. "Forget flowery ballads and bawdy limericks," she rumbled, her voice a low growl. "Atmakina feasts on darkness. We need a tale so morbid, so grotesque it yanks a laugh straight outta her pierced heart!"

Nolkari, a hint of unease flickering in her eyes, nodded curtly. "Exactly. We paint a picture so chilling, so delightfully disturbing, it tickles that dark corner of her soul."

Lonmala shot Bolbeli a questioning look. "No drunken sing-alongs?"

Bolbeli slammed a fist into her opposite palm, a feral grin splitting her face. "She don't even drink! Darker, sister! Darker than a troll's dungeon! A story so horrifying, it makes even the toughest warrior wanna wet their pants!"

Nolkari rolled her eyes. With a heavy thud, the sisters pushed open the creaky tavern door. A cacophony of laughter and the rhythmic strum of a lute washed over them. At the center of the room sat Atmakina, a woman etched with the lines of countless tales, her eyes glinting with a hint of unsettling amusement. The air hung heavy with woodsmoke and ale, the patrons a tapestry of boisterous revelry.

Bolbeli, never one for subtlety, stomped forward, her voice a booming challenge. "Atmakina, weaver of twisted skeins!" she bellowed. "We come not with silly songs or forced merriment. We bring you darkness, a tale whispered among shadowed alleys."

Intrigued by the bold approach, Atmakina leaned back in her chair to reveal a single silver orb glinting between her breasts. "A darkness, you say? Entertain me then, my bold child."

Bolbeli puffed out her chest and launched into a chilling narrative: A tale of a king obsessed with preserving not just the trophies of his hunt, but his entire court, and then the village beyond. What first started as caryatid columns outside his palace, quickly spiraled out of control. The king, she boomed, replaced his courtiers with meticulously crafted stone effigies - their vacant eyes, frozen smiles, and lifelike flesh a constant reminder of his own mortality. Bolbeli painted a picture of a court populated by taxidermied corpses, their vacant stares a constant reminder of the king's morbid quest to preserve his own life.

The tavern's patrons, initially boisterous, fidgeted on their stools, the image sending shivers down spines. By the time Bolbeli finished, a tense silence had fallen. Atmakina, however, wasn't gripped by horror. Instead, a slow, sadistic smile stretched across her face. A laugh, dark and cruel, erupted from her lips, echoing through the tavern like the scraping of bones. It wasn't a laugh of fear, but of a predator savoring the morbid artistry of the story.

As the laughter subsided, tears streamed down Atmakina's face, but they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of twisted pleasure. "One down," she rasped, her voice dripping with amusement. "Just one. Impressive, warrior. You have a talent for the macabre."

While Atmakina's attention was fully focused on Bolbeli, a flicker of opportunity shone in Lonmala's eyes. With the patience of a cat on the hunt, she eyed up the bard's instrument case giving herself silent promise of the future.

The sisters exchanged a knowing glance, a silent pact sealed. One orb secured, two more to go, and perhaps a taste of their own twisted game along the way. The challenge had just begun, and they weren't playing by Atmakina's rules, they were playing their own.

== Chapter One: A Bard's Tale ==

Atmakina, her weathered face illuminated by the warm glow of the fireplace, surveyed the room. Children perched on stools, eyes wide with anticipation, while seasoned adventurers leaned in, eager for a taste of the tale.

"Gather 'round, yougins, adventurers and seasoned caribou salt licks," Atmakina rasped, her voice a comforting rumble of weird humor. "Tonight, I weave a tale of three sisters, a hidden treasure, and a test that chilled even the bravest hearts – the legend of the Kelleron and the Kegritsha." A hush fell over the room. Atmakina chuckled wetly.

"Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari," she began, her voice dropping to a thick whisper, "these weren't ordinary names, mind you. In the forgotten tongue, they meant something quite curious – Three Wishes, Two Secrets, and One Trial..."

A giantkin nursing a mug of ale in the background let out a chuckle, yielding a delicious tingle of unease in the children. Atmakina, ever the bard, paused for effect. "These sisters," she continued, her voice painting a vivid picture, "were giantkin, strong and adventurous, each possessing a magnificent, magical orb. Now, these orbs held immense power, but also a touch of mischief."

You see," Atmakina explained, "the orbs loved to test those who sought them. They'd hide in the most unexpected places, leading brave adventurers on merry chases, and for each one you found, you could have a wish!" A relieved sigh escaped the young listeners.

Atmakina grinned, her smile lined with wisdom. The children, rapt with interest, scooted closer. "But there was a catch," she said, her voice dropping a notch lower. "The true treasure, the sisters promised, could only be claimed by those who solved the secret of Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari."

The giantkin laughed heartily in the background.

"And that's the origin of the tradition we now celebrate as Kelleron, my little ones.

Though the three sisters are long gone, we celebrate the blood bond of kegritsha with you through a chance to reunite the orbs. But remember," she warned, her gaze sweeping across the room, "even the most beautiful treasures can have a hidden challenge."

The children and adventurers exchanged curious glances. "What kind of secrets are these, old Grinny Atmakina?"

Atmakina concluded, her voice laced with a hint of mystery equal to mirth, "Well, that's for when you deliver the first orb to me."

== Chapter Two: Never Go To Bed Mad ==

On their way home, Nokki relayed stories he'd heard from other children. When darkness set in, Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki huddled around their pathetic little fire of dung, a stark chill settled upon them. Nokki's words about the legend's origin still tainted the area like a brume of hope, were such a thing ever to exist. Having taken matters to heart, Nikka however, retained a beaming smile her face had gripped for hours. "We can do this, because we ask someone who can read them when we find them!"

"Okay," Nikka finally said, her voice firm despite the adolescent tone, "we need a plan. First things first, what are we even looking for?" Nirri, ever the thinker, furrowed his brow. "Maybe there's something in Atmakina's story we missed."

"We heard it twice. It's just a silly tale about sparkly balls and wishywitches," Nokki complains shortly, his impatience obvious.

"Maybe not," Nikka countered. "Why orbs? Why not some fancy sword or a pile of uh......silver?"

Nokki shrugged. "Magic, I gue.... Oh!" Suddenly, a memory flickered in Nokki's mind. He remembered his grandfather, weathered hands calloused from years of mould and dye making, meticulously designing coin stamps for the One Elanthian Mint. "The etchings ...!"

"The etchings!" Nirri echoed, his voice laced with mirth. "Maybe the orbs aren't just any orbs. I mean, they're made of silver, with etchings that tell SOMEONE, something! Magic, I guess though..."

Nikka's eyes widened. "That makes sense! Silver is our currency, right? And the fancy coins have markings." Her subsequent physical reaction was far too loud for comfort, covering the complete vocal range of a young child's dawning epiphany. ''''WORDS! DATES! CLUES!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!WE GOTTA GO NAAAAOOOOWW!!''''

Nokki's jaw long ago drooped, eyelids heavy, "What are we even talking about anymore?"

The children had nearly tipped over with exhaustion -- or hypothermia. It could be difficult to tell.

== Chapter Three: Morning Machination ==

Far too early the next morning, the trio once again brought light to their bleak existence by blathering possible meanings of the bard Atmakina's tale. Nokki crouched by the flickering fire, which cast playful shadows on the faces of the younger children huddled beside him. The usual excitement for his stories was replaced by a nervous tension. He glanced at Nikka, still working off energy from the last night's excitement. Beside her, Nirri, the smallest of the three, seemed preoccupied.

"So that story the old woman told at the tavern?" Nokki began, his voice quiet beneath his threadbare blanket. "About the kegritsha's sisters and their treasure hunt?" "Well," Nokki continued, leaning closer, "the truth about the sisters and their hunt is... different."

Nikka and Nirri exchanged nervous glances. The whimsical image of sparkly orbs and hidden treasures felt a lot less fun now, after Nokki's goading before their senses were fully awakened.

Nirri's eyes widened. "But the hunt..." Nikka stammered, "isn't it part of Kelleron's celebration?" Nikka murmured in confusion, "Different how?"

Nokki's voice dropped to a flat note, "The sisters weren't kind, and those weren't just any magic balls. They craved power, a darkness that demanded a terrible price."

Nokki shook his head. Nikka and Nirri looked at each other as a seed of uncertainty blossomed. Could they be those people? Were they strong enough, brave enough? More importantly, could they work together well enough to win at Kelleron?

"The whispers say," Nokki continued, "the kegritsha's power requires perfect balance, like a three-legged stool. If one leg is weak, the whole thing falls apart."

A thoughtful silence descended upon the three children amid the burgeoning din of the morning. They knew each other well, they knew each other's strengths and they knew each other's weaknesses. Nikka was affable, quick, and resourceful, Nirri was clever and good at solving puzzles, and Nokki, the eldest, possessed a wisdom of age and leadership (a protective bully, truly).

Maybe, just maybe, they could be the right combination?

"Ummm," Nirri finally spoke, his voice small but determined, "if we find the orbs, if we work together, could we..?" he trailed off, unable to finish the question, though it ended on an up note.

Nokki leaned over with a grin, "Maybe," he said. "Maybe the orb's wealth can be ours. But it's really filled with danger, and if you really think you are strong enough, united enough, with ME...AS US, to face the darkness and...?"

The fire sputtered, casting a brief flashing glow on their three faces. The playful game of hide and seek was gone, replaced by a daunting challenge. Could their friendship be the key to unlocking the kegritsha's bond, or would the darkness tear them apart? The quandary settled into in the children's morning breaths, but time was ticking, they were not getting any younger.

Finally, Nikka nodded and said with a tone too determined for her age, "We can do this!" and the two boys followed suit in an echo of repetition. The matter was then sealed upon a six-fingered pinky swear. Just as it should be.

== Chapter Four: The Cavernous Vault ==

The morning sun cast long shadows as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki approached the imposing structure known as the Cavernous Vault. Carved from imposing brutalist limestone, it loomed over the bustling marketplace like a bulwark. A scale-shaped bronze plaque above the heavy doors proclaimed itself as a bank.

Banks are where trust is forged in silver.

Nirri, ever the cautious one, swallowed hard. "Are we sure this is the right place? We're looking for information about magic orbs."

Nokki scoffed. "You scared of a little stone building? Besides, who else keeps track of ancient traditions better than bankers and actuaries?"

Nikka squinted her eyes, still questioning the order of operation. "Maybe a wizard, or a historian? Or the bard named Atmakina?" she murmured under her breath, energy waning with the blooming day.

Taking a deep breath, Nikka pushed open the heavy doors with a creak. Inside, the air was still and thick; it smelled faintly of parchment and polished metal. Twin black marble counters gleamed on either side of a huddle of gruff-looking Issimir giantkin, some with thick beards and even thicker account ledgers, negotiating in adult language about adult things, like money, grain, war, and ores.

At the far end of the vast hall was a towering figure in formal attire, pacing back and forth, partially obscured by a half-walled privacy screen. A forward-jutting beard added severity to his already imposing, heavy gaze. This, they assumed, must be the bank manager.

Nikka cleared her throat, trying to sound confident. "Excuse me, sir? We were hoping to speak with someone about the tradition of Kelleron."

The manager blinked, his expression unreadable. "Kelleron? Do you mean the annual interest rate adjustment for high-yield silver deposits?"

Nokki: "There is?" Nirri piped up, his voice squeaky. "No, no, not that kind of Kelleron! It's about the hunt for the three orbs and the Kegritsha's power!"

The manager's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He cleared his throat with a dry cough that sounded suspiciously unnecessary. "Ah, yes," he finally boomed, his voice echoing in the cavernous hall. "The whimsical children's tale about sparkly balls and wishes? Didn't realize anyone still believed those old stories."

Nikka protested, "It's not a story! It's a tradition! We are here to discover the secret of the Kelleron!"

The manager chuckled again, this time openly. He sat back down in his chair, placing his hands behind his head. "Alright, alright, settle down young vaultlings. Tell you what. There might be a dusty old scroll buried somewhere in our archives that mentions this... Kelleron thing. But it'll cost you."

Nirri's eyes widened. "Cost us what?"

The manager grinned, a glint of mischief in his eye. '''"An orb."'''

Nikka burst out, "B..But we haven't even FOUND any!"

The banker continued right over top of her, "If you answer correctly, I'll see what I can dig up. Fail, and you'll be signed up for a lifetime of high service fee junior savings account rates faster than you can say 'A Pea Why'."

Nikka exchanged a worried glance with Nirri. This wasn't quite what they expected. But before they could back out, the manager delivered his booming his riddle with surprising diction and deftness of meter:

: "I flow freely, yet have no form.
: I can enrich or leave you in great harm.
: I am the blood of trade and war,
: The clink in a merchant's purse,
: the weight of a warrior's score.

: ''What am I?"''

Silence filled the Cavernous Vault, as by now the stuffy men in the middle had vacated the area for a remarkably early lunch break.

Nikka and Nirri racked their brains, their confidence dwindling. Before they doomed to poorly performing savings accounts, Nirri spoke up, a hint of pride in his voice. "Silver!" he declared.

The manager's grin widened further. "Excellent deduction, youngins! Alright, I'll see what I can unearth for you. Wait here."

The sharply bearded banker disappeared behind a heavy curtain at the back of the vault, leaving the children staring after him, unsure if they'd just gotten closer to their goal or stumbled into a kindred version of a twisted joke. Before long, the bank manager reappeared and gave each child a small sack and instructed the guards liberally stationed around the bank to assist the children in finding the door.

Just as lunchtime was nearly upon them, too, they found the door and reentered the bustling marketplace to blanket their senses in the odor of natural habitation. Nikka, Nokki, and Nirri's quest for Kelleron, it seemed, was only getting more interesting, and perhaps a little more confusing...

== Chapter Five: Secrets in Silver ==

Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hiked far away from the Cavernous Vault after being ejected in a firm, but friendly fashion. That perplexing encounter with the banker - a riddle for a dusty scroll? And what were they supposed to do with these small sacks they now clutched in their hands?

"Hey, what's in these?" said Nikka as she untied the drawstring of her sack. Inside, nestled amongst shredded documents with official looking penmanship, was a huge chocolate egg wrapped in silvery foil. Nirri and Nokki, equally curious, peeked into their own sacks to find identical treats stowed carefully away.

"What is it?" Nirri questioned, his eyes wide with wonder.

Nokki scoffed, a playful jab aimed at his brother. "Don't tell me you've never seen a chocolate egg before! It's a treat, silly."

Unwrapping the silver foil, Nirri brought the chocolate orb to his nose and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing! Like... like..."

Confusion washed over Nikka, which turned quickly into incredulity until, "Ooooh ....! Like rich milk chocolate with a hint of mint?" Nikka finished for him, a smile spreading across her face as she succumbed to the sumptuous sweet.

With a shared look of agreement, the three devoured their chocolates, the sweet relief momentarily pushing back the weight of their quest.

Nokki mumbled through his chocolate, "Maybe it was his way of apologizing for wasting our time. Or maybe he could tell we were hungry after all his talking." He suddenly stopped eating, his eyes widening as he unfolded the crumbled silver wrapper. "Wait a minute! Look!" Peering closely each child found marked into the underside of the foil, a thinly inked symbol. It resembled a stylized eye with a teardrop beneath it.

"What is it?" Nirri asked, peering over Nokki's shoulder.

"Maybe these aren't just snacks after all," Nikka whispered before he could answer. "That symbol... I think I've seen it before. In the tavern, on Atmakina's cloak!"

A spark of excitement ignited in their eyes with a newfound sense of urgency. Could this seemingly insignificant symbol be a clue? Perhaps the banker knew more about the Kelleron tradition than he let on, and these chocolate orbs were a subtle way of passing on a message! The trio decided to revisit Atmakina at the tavern that evening.

Nirri also offered, "maybe I can pick up some clues about that symbol on my messenger route this afternoon too?"

Nikka nodding in agreement added, "Ya I will ask the fishwives what they know too!"

Perhaps the symbol on the chocolate foils, and the information they gleaned from the banker's riddle, would unlock another piece of the puzzle of this Kelleron business.

== Chapter Six: Overture ==

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the bustling marketplace as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hurried towards the familiar glow emanating from the tavern. Tonight, they weren't just there for company – they carried a newfound clue and a burning purpose. Pushing open the creaky door, they were greeted by a wave of warmth, spiced aromas, and Atmakina's droning lute. Finding a corner table, they ordered steaming mugs of milk, waiting for the bard's final notes.

Seeing an entrance, Nikka scrambled up to Atmakina and retold their encounter with the banker and the curious silver chocolates adorned with a symbol – an eye weeping a single tear.

Atmakina's eyes widened. "The Weeping Eye of Celiel," she breathed. "A powerful symbol of the snowy labyrinth, where whispers of forgotten dreams dance on the frosted air."

Nirri shivered as he cupped his frothy mug of milk. "A snowy labyrinth? Sounds even spookier! Could this be where we find the orbs of Kelleron?"

Atmakina replied vaguely, "Perhaps. Legends rarely reveal their secrets easily. But," her eyes twinkled, "the snowy labyrinth holds echoes of the past. Celiel, a great elemental, is said to be sleep within its heart, and her stillness prevents avalanches."

Nokki scoffed. "Another riddle? Another quest?" Nirri punched Nokki in the hip. "STOP IT!"

Atmakina chuckled. "Patience, young ones. You already have a clue – the Weeping Eye." She eyed their empty mugs and the discarded napkins on the table. "Speaking of the symbol," she continued, her voice taking on a mischievous tone, "those chocolate orbs you enjoyed – did you notice anything else on the wrapper besides the symbol?"

The children exchanged sheepish glances. Realization dawned on Nikka's face. "The silver wrapper! We... we ate everything!"

Atmakina chuckled, a glint in her eye. "A valuable lesson learned, wouldn't you say? But luckily, I happen to have a spare." Reaching into a hidden pouch on her belt, she revealed a single, glimmering silver orb identical to the one that encased delicious chocolate treats. The Weeping Eye symbol gleamed proudly on its surface, interconnectedness of its linework clearly matched up in a way nearly impossible to reconstruct from their treats..

The children's eyes widened with excitement. Nikka grasped the orb carefully, a sense of wonder washing over her, but she noticed it had a particular nose tingling odor.

Atmakina's smile turned enigmatic. "This orb is not made of chocolate, if that’s what you are thinking child," she said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "It may hold the key to navigating the snowy labyrinth. Legends speak of its power as a beacon, guiding you through the icy maze where secrets whisper in the wind that drives men mad."

A heartbeat of surprised silence followed. Nokki, skeptical, chimed in, "But Atmakina, it smells like choc...!”

Atmakina's eyes flickered with something bordering on impatience as she cut the girl off, "Ah, that's the beauty of legends, little one. The power lies in believing. This orb could be a key, a beacon, or perhaps… just a delicious treat. But the magic unfolds only if you're willing to take a chance, and I will tell you now you will not succeed without this silver orb."

The weight of the orb felt heavier in Nikka's hand as she contemplated her options. Far too many potential scenarios for a child to reasonably muddle through, yet there was a potential it really a powerful tool. Or a playful trick? The uncertainty thrummed through her, but it was overshadowed by a thrill of anticipation. Collective grins erupted upon both Nirri and Nikka's faces as they scrambled to their feet.

Atmakina's words ignited a spark of determination within the two younger children -- But not Nokki. Cut off, he suddenly grew silent, allowing everything to play out at a generous arm's length.

"Excellent!" Atmakina rasped wetly, her voice regaining its usual cheer. "The snowy labyrinth awaits, and stories it holds for brave adventurers like yourselves."

With hearts pounding with anticipation, the two younger children allowed Atmakina back to her task. Nokki had little to say as they re-entered the setting sun cast an orange glow across the horizon as the children reentered fresh air. The silver orb, a tangible piece of their quest, felt quite warm in Nikka's hand now. No longer just children seeking answers – they were explorers, ready to face the unknown and icy challenges of the snowy labyrinth with the wisdom of their new and powerful friend, the bard Atmakina.

== Chapter Seven: The Rapacity of Lonmala ==

A shiver danced down Lonmala's spine as she watched the children wrestle for the silver orb in the darkness. Each tug, each playful shove, sent a jolt of something sharp and primal through her. The woman's monotone pronouncements about resilience mocked her. Here was the true symbol of resilience – a magical artifact held by carefree children.

Lonmala craved the orb's power, the promise of overcoming any obstacle. Her initial resolve to reject it crumbled under the weight of her desperate need to save her sisters. Bolbeli's pride needed curbing, Nolkari's misplaced confidence needed correction. With the orb, she could guide them, protect them, force them to see reason.

The playful fight escalated. One of the older boys snatched the orb and ran, a trail of laughter echoing across the sand. She lunged after the boy, tackling him with a force that surprised even her. The other children, momentarily stunned, then swarmed. Their playful fight morphed into a feral struggle, fueled by a territorial instinct far beyond their age.

Lonmala fought back, her movements fueled not by resilience, but by a simmering rage. Sand flew, cries pierced the air, the silver orb lay forgotten in the dust. As the dust settled, Lonmala stood panting, the children scattering back, fear replacing their earlier mirth.

She snatched the orb, its cool metal surface offering no comfort. Lonmala gripped the orb tightly, a bitter taste in her mouth. She had succumbed to her baser instincts, the very antithesis of the resilience she sought to buidl.

Leaving the snowasis, Lonmala carried a heavy burden – the orb, a symbol of her failure, and a growing darkness within her that threatened to consume the last vestiges of her self-control. She had what she thought she needed, but the victory tasted like ash on her tongue. The path to saving her sisters seemed to stretch before her, not paved with resilience, but with the shadows of her own rapacity.

Postscript: On the other hand, she won the fight. It was three on one, and children are of a tender age so late in life now. Perhaps, in the harsh calculus of survival this victory wasn't a sign of weakness, but a pragmatic necessity!

== Chapter Eight: Nolkari and the Hall of Mirrors ==

Nolkari, the youngest sister, was not good at physical feats or perilous adventures, but she reveled in a challenge worthy of her sharp mind. Unlike her sisters, she fantasized the mental gymnastics of foregone cultures through a labyrinth of patchwork knowledge.

Several months ago, Lonmala had given Nolkari a birthday gift - a voucher to the Night at the Academy adventure tour. It was advertised as a self-improvement mental endurance challenge for the gifted, which was just the sort of self-care she wanted and didn't know she desperately needed.

Nolkari had helped her sisters locate word of their orbs, but still she had nothing. Having finally come to absolutely zero logical conclusions on where to start looking for her own orb, she still had not technically even started putting possibility into planning. This adventure tour however, was a perfect distraction.

Whispers of its halls echoing with the relics and mementos of the long-dead, was just what she needed to rub her itch - an itch she might note, had yet to include any specific mention of the orb she was determined to find. Maybe it would help her focus.

In truth, Nolkari thrived on the puzzles encountered along the way, with one exception. As she solved each riddle in her hunt for history, Nolkari had to navigate significant danger. She remembered seeing one void in the garden, but somehow miraculously skirted the others.

Throughout the quest, those shrubbery were still adorned with trinkets, intricate silver symbols, and ribbons of ancient reliquary. Weirdest thing. She learned about the topics in great detail, filling her soul with the satisfaction of a pursuit and job well done. Finally, her font of knowledge full, she reached the end.

Next to the door, a disembodied voice boasted with an unsettling amusement from somewhere further back, "Welcome, Nolkari the Clever," it rasped. "Wit can be a double-edged sword, and danger can come at every angle. Are you prepared to face Your Reflection too?"

Adjacent wainscotting separated to reveal a concealed door that scraped open, nothing visible beyond.

A million thoughts flooded her mind, ranging from 'is this part of the tour?' to calculating risks of what it could actually be for, could it bring her success (and in what) against failure, what could she have to lose? Insight, death, curiosity, confusion, doubt, opportunity loss, knowledge, fear.

_Stop!_

"Yes." Nolkari entered. Door closing behind her, the light went out.

Slowly, a faint candlelight appeared in the distance of her periphery. Drawn by the solitary flame, she turned and walked toward it only to collide face-first with a smooth, but an unseen blockade.

Coming around an unknown amount of time later, another light appeared in the distance. As it brightened the candle burst a kaleidoscope of blinding light to reveal a fully enclosed, spherical room of mirrors that stretched to infinity. The experience reflected herself back at herself in an endless feedback loop to create a sensory overload drowning her in rapid flashes of light.

She woke up in the garden, beneath a shredded shrubbery devoid of trinkets. An old memory bubbled up from her past, and caused her to reflect for a pregnant moment. With a flash of insight, she realized she understood herself a bit better than she did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-knowledge was supposed to be a pleasant one.

When Nolkari finally emerged from the academy, the silver orb was clutched tightly in her chest. It was a prize hard-won that indelibly fractured her mind.

== Chapter Nine: When the Mirror Speaks, the Reflection Lies ==

News of the sisters' exploits echoed far and wide indeed. Bolbeli, ever the boastful giantkin warrior, reveled in her victories, ego swelling with each conquest, telling stories to the children of Silveruud. Lonmala, consumed by avarice, amassed wealth through dubious means, her hunger for riches insatiable but not entirely dishonest either; she picked up a job at the bank of all places.

Meanwhile Nolkari, once a prodigy, had succumbed to the whispers of the silver orb. Her mind fractured and her speech occasionally a stream of nonsensical ramblings while she volunteered sorting books in the Library. The seeds of suspicion for her were sown with Lonmala's birthday gift – the voucher for the "Night at the Academy'' adventure tour. Nolkari's relentless search for the silver orb had borne no fruit, yet the academy tour, strangely silent on the orb's whereabouts, led her right to it.

The serendipity was outside the realm of probability. It all felt too orchestrated.

Further fueling Nolkari's paranoia were hushed conversations between Lonmala and Bolbeli. Nolkari, ever a master of deduction, gleaned fragments of their conversations – cryptic warnings about combining forces. She was determined to find out what was wrong, why they were excluding her. Even if it was her own subconscious doing.

Bobeli craved the rush of her own orb, believing it granted her her unparalleled prowess. Lonmala half-jokingly asked Bobeli if she could have both silver orbs, because she had another score to settle. Meanwhile, Nolkari remained fixated on her orb of...Nolkari, its whispers feeding the delusions that drove her to madness.

Each episode was an uncrossable boundary beginning to crumble. In time, they became so dysfunctional their paths rarely crossed, each driven by twisted desires that broke their trust that should have been forged in silver.

The once unbreakable bond between them, forged in years of shared experiences, began to fray. Days bled into weeks, with each sister isolated in their own pursuit, driven by a twisted desire fueled by the silver orbs. Their trust, once as strong as silver itself, now lay shattered on the cold floor.

One starless night, a frantic urge propelled Nolkari towards Bolbeli's quarters. Bursting into the dimly lit room, Nolkari shrieked, "THIEF!" Bolbeli, startled awake, found Nolkari staring wildly, her words nonsensical. "Enough gibberish!" Bolbeli roared, her hand seeking and desperately not finding the hilt of a sword typically kept bedside. "Leave me be!"

Just then, Lonmala emerged, a glimmer of something in her hand and struggle ensued, the sisters locked in a desperate fight. Nolkari, lost in the chaos, tried to intervene, her flailing limbs more hindrance than help.

As the fight raged, objects began tumbling from Lonmala's cloak – three silver spheres. They bounced wildly across the chamber floor, a blinding display in the otherwise dim light. Hypnotized, the sisters stopped fighting, their gazes fixed on the moving spheres that were once THEIR orbs - but once drawn together, the air shimmered and soured into a searing rift between the young women and the oddly bouncing silver orbs.

In an instant, the silver balls, the three sisters, and everything within a ten-foot radius were sucked into the void, plummeting through a swirling vortex into the unknown.

== Chapter Ten: A good positive attitude never hurts. Too much. ==

Sickening lurches somewhere between drowning and electrocution thrust the sisters catapulting into a violent thud upon a grassy plain, along with a featherbed and tattered linens. One moment they were inside, then outside, and very much not at home. Stunned, the young women looked bewildered at their new surroundings as they fumbled over identical silver orbs, each now indistinguishable from the next. Fields in a veritable sea of gold, stretched in all directions where the air hummed with a strange energy. Quite close to their mysterious arrival stood a colossal gleaming silver tower piercing the sky, its chromatic surface sending a blinding radiance in the afternoon sun's harsh angle.

"Where are we?" Lonmala whispered, the cool sensation of a silver orb providing grounding weight against her chest - despite all that happened.

"When are we? Wait, this is Silveruud. From Night at the Academy,," Nolkari said, her countenance perfectly calm as she scanned the horizon. Several moments later she said, "The fabric between realities is thin here."

Bolbeli, her usual bravado tempered by the experience, nodded. "I feel it," she rumbled, her hand instinctively going to the hilt of her sword, only to find none there.

As they approached the towering structure, a group of people passed them, unlike any they had seen before. Clad in flowing robes of deep indigo, their skin was lightly spotted in blue and silver, and their eyes glowed with an inner light. One had long silver braids and matching eyes that mirrored the sisters' orbs. They, in particular, approached the sisters with a fearlessly curious smile.

"Welcome, travelers," the person said in a dreamy lilt. "We have been expecting you. The mists spoke of your arrival and stirred the very fabric of Silveruud."

The sisters exchanged nervous glances, then at their hands, which still possessed all ten fingers. Lonmala with her silver tongue stepped forward. "We are Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala Kelleron and are looking for honest work if you'll have us."

The woman's smile widened with each word. "Ah, the bearers of the silver orbs, the Kelleron Sisters. Your reputation and legend precede you. Silveruud is a meeting point for beings from differen...walks of life. Our balance is threatened by those who seek to exploit our vulnerabilities even while we defend eccentricity."

Since their greeter never actually inquired how or why the three sisters acquired the orbs, a flickering bevy of silent conversations crossed between Lonmala and Bolbeli's features. A new adventure? Or an end to nothing left to lose.

Nolkari volunteered in an unusually calm voice, "How may we be of assistance?"

"Indeed," the woman replied. "Guardians. But not just protectors. We require a kegritsha who we can trust. A kegritsha who bloody well knows how to work together." She gestured towards the gleaming tower, and toward the bustling city circumnavigating its fortified periphery. "Within its spire lies a chamber where your Kegritsha will be interviewed in a mock trial. Are you willing to undergo the trials?"

The sisters, having come this far, exchanged confused impressionable looks. Lonmala, the darkness within her pondering the opportunity, squared her shoulders. Bolbeli nodded resolutely and yet Nolkari never actually met the woman's gaze, but it looked like she tried.

"Yes." they declared in unison, half blurted and half vowed, the feeling of opportunity and obligation palpable, and far stronger than any immediate aversion to run for their lives.

The silver-eyed woman smiled warmly. "Then follow me, Kelleron sisters. The forging of your new Kegritsha begins now."

As they ventured into the night dark spire, the sisters knew their journey had taken a new turn. They were no longer just individuals seeking individual power, nor could they be. With this mission, they were a team bound by these identical silver orbs. Relics they clearly could not wield alone, and clearly could not tell apart.

The trials within the spire awaited, a test of their combined strength, wit, and resilience. This was the first step in remediating the relationship of their troubled kegritsha. Could this dysfunctional team, unlike any other, truly be destined to safeguard a delicate balance for Silveruud?

Only time would tell, and there was no going back.

== Chapter Eleven: Shades of Grey ==

The Everfrost wind, a banshee's keening wail, scoured the desolate plains. Blistering snow stung exposed flesh. Faces numbed despite bundles of scavenged furs, Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala resembled a ragged triumvirate in a land perpetually cloaked in winter's icy grip.

Their objective: Find the one silver orb that can cast a reflection where night devours the day. Not merely locating it sufficed – a more crucial task loomed: verifying its authenticity. Legends whispered of a chamber where "night devoured the day," a place so dark it cast no shadows, and only a specific orb held the key to navigating that tenebrous realm.

Days bled into weeks, a monotonous blur of treacherous mountain passes, bartered supplies wrangled from wary halflings, and narrow escapes from territorial giants. Lonmala navigated them through the harsh landscape, her silver-developing tongue feigning their curiosity to their migration - Work had dried up in Wehnimer's Landing due to business closures and insurance payout failures upon repeat and frequent torchings.

Finally, an ancient map, bartered from a reclusive hermit, led them to the foot of a colossal glacier at the very end of the caravan's route. Even then, they had days of travel across the great snowy glacier until finally, a peak rose through the ice. Bearing closer to the rocky crag presenting the only thing other than ice in all directions, the women chose to make camp near its base. The last breath of daylight brought a glint from high upon the peak to cast an eerie light back across the snowfield. Nolkari's eyes looped side to side as she gestured broadly overhead, "An endless gray!"

The women argued for several hours about whether to go up or keep camp for the night. So they agreed to trust one another, pack up camp as Nolkari was leaving with or without them. Bolbeli punched Nolkari's lights out, and everyone got a good night's sleep after Bolbeli drank the last of the good stuff. Lonmala took a look around anyway, since someone needed to remember where it was.

Dawn left them on the dark side of the peak and the glacier itself radiated an unnatural chill, worsening the effect. Whatever remained of their energy sputtered as they ventured up the rocky surface, the air thickening, shadows deepening. An unseen pressure tightened their chests as the harsh, icy mists set in deeper.

A sudden shriek tore from Nolkari's throat. She pointed towards a gaping crevasse, where at its bottom lay discarded and shrouded in the swirling mist a singular object – a dull silver orb that barely emanated an ephemeral...Presence. Close examination revealed a chilling anomaly: despite a deep crack planing its surface, nothing – not even the sisters themselves – cast a shadow or reflection upon its dull exterior.

Lonmala backpedaled with a "whoa!" Nolkari, however, remained unnervingly confident. "One thing is certain, this is not the end for us, it is only the beginning, the heart of endless gray it absorbs reflections, but it is truly a mirror for the place where the night drinks the day.

A weighty silence descended. Could Nolkari, in her fractured state, be correct? Here, in this desolate wasteland, they had stumbled upon an anomaly mirroring the chamber of no shadows. Yet, the risk was immense. Choosing the wrong Orb could send them down a perilous path, squandering precious time and resources.

The decision hung heavy in the frigid air. This was not just a test of finding an orb, but of discerning its legitimacy. The trio withdrew to regroup - the fate of their quest, perhaps even the freedom of Silveruud, hinged on their next move. The silence stretched, broken only by the mournful sigh of the Everfrost wind, as they contemplated the orb just....existing....at the bottom of the crevasse. What secrets did it hold? Was it the key to the chamber of no shadows, or a cruel deception leading them further astray...

The working title for this Issimir giantkin short story is called Kelleron, artifice of an Issimir Giantkin's kegritsha in pieces

== Prologue ==

The Kelleron Orbs: Lessons in Issimir Loyalty. Bolbeli, Lonmala, and Nolkari were sisters who ignored their vows to one another.

As the eldest sister, Bolbeli carried a swaggering confidence that often bordered on arrogance, but she strove to take care of her sisters. The youngest, Nolkari was known for her lust for knowledge which led her into a dangerous downward spiral. When sharp her mind, she found solutions where brute force failed. Yet the middle sister, Lonmala, embodied unwavering determination, and a penchant for sleight of hand. Though less physically imposing than Bolbeli, she was scrappy as a street rat and had the scars to prove it.

Their strengths were unmatched and judgment often clouded by impulsiveness. Some would call them greedy.

Here are just a few of their stories, many more of which are inexplicably absent.

== Bolbeli and the Bard ==
A storm raged outside The Roaring Cougar, the wind a banshee's wail clawing at the rickety tavern. Still outside, Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari huddled for warmth, their breath misting in the frigid air. Ale wasn't their desire, but instead, the silver orbs rumored to be in Atmakina's possession. Legend spoke of a twisted game: make her laugh thrice, and the orbs were yours.

Bolbeli, the warrior more comfortable with axe than anecdote, surprisingly took charge. "Forget flowery ballads and bawdy limericks," she rumbled, her voice a low growl. "Atmakina feasts on darkness. We need a tale so morbid, so grotesque it yanks a laugh straight outta her pierced heart!"

Nolkari, a hint of unease flickering in her eyes, nodded curtly. "Exactly. We paint a picture so chilling, so delightfully disturbing, it tickles that dark corner of her soul."

Lonmala shot Bolbeli a questioning look. "No drunken sing-alongs?"

Bolbeli slammed a fist into her opposite palm, a feral grin splitting her face. "She don't even drink! Darker, sister! Darker than a troll's dungeon! A story so horrifying, it makes even the toughest warrior wanna wet their pants!"

Nolkari rolled her eyes. With a heavy thud, the sisters pushed open the creaky tavern door. A cacophony of laughter and the rhythmic strum of a lute washed over them. At the center of the room sat Atmakina, a woman etched with the lines of countless tales, her eyes glinting with a hint of unsettling amusement. The air hung heavy with woodsmoke and ale, the patrons a tapestry of boisterous revelry.

Bolbeli, never one for subtlety, stomped forward, her voice a booming challenge. "Atmakina, weaver of twisted skeins!" she bellowed. "We come not with silly songs or forced merriment. We bring you darkness, a tale whispered among shadowed alleys."

Intrigued by the bold approach, Atmakina leaned back in her chair to reveal a single silver orb glinting between her breasts. "A darkness, you say? Entertain me then, my bold child."

Bolbeli puffed out her chest and launched into a chilling narrative: A tale of a king obsessed with preserving not just the trophies of his hunt, but his entire court, and then the village beyond. What first started as caryatid columns outside his palace, quickly spiraled out of control. The king, she boomed, replaced his courtiers with meticulously crafted stone effigies - their vacant eyes, frozen smiles, and lifelike flesh a constant reminder of his own mortality. Bolbeli painted a picture of a court populated by taxidermied corpses, their vacant stares a constant reminder of the king's morbid quest to preserve his own life.

The tavern's patrons, initially boisterous, fidgeted on their stools, the image sending shivers down spines. By the time Bolbeli finished, a tense silence had fallen. Atmakina, however, wasn't gripped by horror. Instead, a slow, sadistic smile stretched across her face. A laugh, dark and cruel, erupted from her lips, echoing through the tavern like the scraping of bones. It wasn't a laugh of fear, but of a predator savoring the morbid artistry of the story.

As the laughter subsided, tears streamed down Atmakina's face, but they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of twisted pleasure. "One down," she rasped, her voice dripping with amusement. "Just one. Impressive, warrior. You have a talent for the macabre."

While Atmakina's attention was fully focused on Bolbeli, a flicker of opportunity shone in Lonmala's eyes. With the patience of a cat on the hunt, she eyed up the bard's instrument case giving herself silent promise of the future.

The sisters exchanged a knowing glance, a silent pact sealed. One orb secured, two more to go, and perhaps a taste of their own twisted game along the way. The challenge had just begun, and they weren't playing by Atmakina's rules, they were playing their own.

== Chapter One: A Bard's Tale ==

Atmakina, her weathered face illuminated by the warm glow of the fireplace, surveyed the room. Children perched on stools, eyes wide with anticipation, while seasoned adventurers leaned in, eager for a taste of the tale.

"Gather 'round, yougins, adventurers and seasoned caribou salt licks," Atmakina rasped, her voice a comforting rumble of weird humor. "Tonight, I weave a tale of three sisters, a hidden treasure, and a test that chilled even the bravest hearts – the legend of the Kelleron and the Kegritsha." A hush fell over the room. Atmakina chuckled wetly.

"Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari," she began, her voice dropping to a thick whisper, "these weren't ordinary names, mind you. In the forgotten tongue, they meant something quite curious – Three Wishes, Two Secrets, and One Trial..."

A giantkin nursing a mug of ale in the background let out a chuckle, yielding a delicious tingle of unease in the children. Atmakina, ever the bard, paused for effect. "These sisters," she continued, her voice painting a vivid picture, "were giantkin, strong and adventurous, each possessing a magnificent, magical orb. Now, these orbs held immense power, but also a touch of mischief."

You see," Atmakina explained, "the orbs loved to test those who sought them. They'd hide in the most unexpected places, leading brave adventurers on merry chases, and for each one you found, you could have a wish!" A relieved sigh escaped the young listeners.

Atmakina grinned, her smile lined with wisdom. The children, rapt with interest, scooted closer. "But there was a catch," she said, her voice dropping a notch lower. "The true treasure, the sisters promised, could only be claimed by those who solved the secret of Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari."

The giantkin laughed heartily in the background.

"And that's the origin of the tradition we now celebrate as Kelleron, my little ones.

Though the three sisters are long gone, we celebrate the blood bond of kegritsha with you through a chance to reunite the orbs. But remember," she warned, her gaze sweeping across the room, "even the most beautiful treasures can have a hidden challenge."

The children and adventurers exchanged curious glances. "What kind of secrets are these, old Grinny Atmakina?"

Atmakina concluded, her voice laced with a hint of mystery equal to mirth, "Well, that's for when you deliver the first orb to me."

== Chapter Two: Never Go To Bed Mad ==

On their way home, Nokki relayed stories he'd heard from other children. When darkness set in, Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki huddled around their pathetic little fire of dung, a stark chill settled upon them. Nokki's words about the legend's origin still tainted the area like a brume of hope, were such a thing ever to exist. Having taken matters to heart, Nikka however, retained a beaming smile her face had gripped for hours. "We can do this, because we ask someone who can read them when we find them!"

"Okay," Nikka finally said, her voice firm despite the adolescent tone, "we need a plan. First things first, what are we even looking for?" Nirri, ever the thinker, furrowed his brow. "Maybe there's something in Atmakina's story we missed."

"We heard it twice. It's just a silly tale about sparkly balls and wishywitches," Nokki complains shortly, his impatience obvious.

"Maybe not," Nikka countered. "Why orbs? Why not some fancy sword or a pile of uh......silver?"

Nokki shrugged. "Magic, I gue.... Oh!" Suddenly, a memory flickered in Nokki's mind. He remembered his grandfather, weathered hands calloused from years of mould and dye making, meticulously designing coin stamps for the One Elanthian Mint. "The etchings ...!"

"The etchings!" Nirri echoed, his voice laced with mirth. "Maybe the orbs aren't just any orbs. I mean, they're made of silver, with etchings that tell SOMEONE, something! Magic, I guess though..."

Nikka's eyes widened. "That makes sense! Silver is our currency, right? And the fancy coins have markings." Her subsequent physical reaction was far too loud for comfort, covering the complete vocal range of a young child's dawning epiphany. ''''WORDS! DATES! CLUES!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!WE GOTTA GO NAAAAOOOOWW!!''''

Nokki's jaw long ago drooped, eyelids heavy, "What are we even talking about anymore?"

The children had nearly tipped over with exhaustion -- or hypothermia. It could be difficult to tell.

== Chapter Three: Morning Machination ==

Far too early the next morning, the trio once again brought light to their bleak existence by blathering possible meanings of the bard Atmakina's tale. Nokki crouched by the flickering fire, which cast playful shadows on the faces of the younger children huddled beside him. The usual excitement for his stories was replaced by a nervous tension. He glanced at Nikka, still working off energy from the last night's excitement. Beside her, Nirri, the smallest of the three, seemed preoccupied.

"So that story the old woman told at the tavern?" Nokki began, his voice quiet beneath his threadbare blanket. "About the kegritsha's sisters and their treasure hunt?" "Well," Nokki continued, leaning closer, "the truth about the sisters and their hunt is... different."

Nikka and Nirri exchanged nervous glances. The whimsical image of sparkly orbs and hidden treasures felt a lot less fun now, after Nokki's goading before their senses were fully awakened.

Nirri's eyes widened. "But the hunt..." Nikka stammered, "isn't it part of Kelleron's celebration?" Nikka murmured in confusion, "Different how?"

Nokki's voice dropped to a flat note, "The sisters weren't kind, and those weren't just any magic balls. They craved power, a darkness that demanded a terrible price."

Nokki shook his head. Nikka and Nirri looked at each other as a seed of uncertainty blossomed. Could they be those people? Were they strong enough, brave enough? More importantly, could they work together well enough to win at Kelleron?

"The whispers say," Nokki continued, "the kegritsha's power requires perfect balance, like a three-legged stool. If one leg is weak, the whole thing falls apart."

A thoughtful silence descended upon the three children amid the burgeoning din of the morning. They knew each other well, they knew each other's strengths and they knew each other's weaknesses. Nikka was affable, quick, and resourceful, Nirri was clever and good at solving puzzles, and Nokki, the eldest, possessed a wisdom of age and leadership (a protective bully, truly).

Maybe, just maybe, they could be the right combination?

"Ummm," Nirri finally spoke, his voice small but determined, "if we find the orbs, if we work together, could we..?" he trailed off, unable to finish the question, though it ended on an up note.

Nokki leaned over with a grin, "Maybe," he said. "Maybe the orb's wealth can be ours. But it's really filled with danger, and if you really think you are strong enough, united enough, with ME...AS US, to face the darkness and...?"

The fire sputtered, casting a brief flashing glow on their three faces. The playful game of hide and seek was gone, replaced by a daunting challenge. Could their friendship be the key to unlocking the kegritsha's bond, or would the darkness tear them apart? The quandary settled into in the children's morning breaths, but time was ticking, they were not getting any younger.

Finally, Nikka nodded and said with a tone too determined for her age, "We can do this!" and the two boys followed suit in an echo of repetition. The matter was then sealed upon a six-fingered pinky swear. Just as it should be.

== Chapter Four: The Cavernous Vault ==

The morning sun cast long shadows as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki approached the imposing structure known as the Cavernous Vault. Carved from imposing brutalist limestone, it loomed over the bustling marketplace like a bulwark. A scale-shaped bronze plaque above the heavy doors proclaimed itself as a bank.

Banks are where trust is forged in silver.

Nirri, ever the cautious one, swallowed hard. "Are we sure this is the right place? We're looking for information about magic orbs."

Nokki scoffed. "You scared of a little stone building? Besides, who else keeps track of ancient traditions better than bankers and actuaries?"

Nikka squinted her eyes, still questioning the order of operation. "Maybe a wizard, or a historian? Or the bard named Atmakina?" she murmured under her breath, energy waning with the blooming day.

Taking a deep breath, Nikka pushed open the heavy doors with a creak. Inside, the air was still and thick; it smelled faintly of parchment and polished metal. Twin black marble counters gleamed on either side of a huddle of gruff-looking Issimir giantkin, some with thick beards and even thicker account ledgers, negotiating in adult language about adult things, like money, grain, war, and ores.

At the far end of the vast hall was a towering figure in formal attire, pacing back and forth, partially obscured by a half-walled privacy screen. A forward-jutting beard added severity to his already imposing, heavy gaze. This, they assumed, must be the bank manager.

Nikka cleared her throat, trying to sound confident. "Excuse me, sir? We were hoping to speak with someone about the tradition of Kelleron."

The manager blinked, his expression unreadable. "Kelleron? Do you mean the annual interest rate adjustment for high-yield silver deposits?"

Nokki: "There is?" Nirri piped up, his voice squeaky. "No, no, not that kind of Kelleron! It's about the hunt for the three orbs and the Kegritsha's power!"

The manager's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He cleared his throat with a dry cough that sounded suspiciously unnecessary. "Ah, yes," he finally boomed, his voice echoing in the cavernous hall. "The whimsical children's tale about sparkly balls and wishes? Didn't realize anyone still believed those old stories."

Nikka protested, "It's not a story! It's a tradition! We are here to discover the secret of the Kelleron!"

The manager chuckled again, this time openly. He sat back down in his chair, placing his hands behind his head. "Alright, alright, settle down young vaultlings. Tell you what. There might be a dusty old scroll buried somewhere in our archives that mentions this... Kelleron thing. But it'll cost you."

Nirri's eyes widened. "Cost us what?"

The manager grinned, a glint of mischief in his eye. '''"An orb."'''

Nikka burst out, "B..But we haven't even FOUND any!"

The banker continued right over top of her, "If you answer correctly, I'll see what I can dig up. Fail, and you'll be signed up for a lifetime of high service fee junior savings account rates faster than you can say 'A Pea Why'."

Nikka exchanged a worried glance with Nirri. This wasn't quite what they expected. But before they could back out, the manager delivered his booming his riddle with surprising diction and deftness of meter:

: "I flow freely, yet have no form.
: I can enrich or leave you in great harm.
: I am the blood of trade and war,
: The clink in a merchant's purse,
: the weight of a warrior's score.

: ''What am I?"''

Silence filled the Cavernous Vault, as by now the stuffy men in the middle had vacated the area for a remarkably early lunch break.

Nikka and Nirri racked their brains, their confidence dwindling. Before they doomed to poorly performing savings accounts, Nirri spoke up, a hint of pride in his voice. "Silver!" he declared.

The manager's grin widened further. "Excellent deduction, youngins! Alright, I'll see what I can unearth for you. Wait here."

The sharply bearded banker disappeared behind a heavy curtain at the back of the vault, leaving the children staring after him, unsure if they'd just gotten closer to their goal or stumbled into a kindred version of a twisted joke. Before long, the bank manager reappeared and gave each child a small sack and instructed the guards liberally stationed around the bank to assist the children in finding the door.

Just as lunchtime was nearly upon them, too, they found the door and reentered the bustling marketplace to blanket their senses in the odor of natural habitation. Nikka, Nokki, and Nirri's quest for Kelleron, it seemed, was only getting more interesting, and perhaps a little more confusing...

== Chapter Five: Secrets in Silver ==

Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hiked far away from the Cavernous Vault after being ejected in a firm, but friendly fashion. That perplexing encounter with the banker - a riddle for a dusty scroll? And what were they supposed to do with these small sacks they now clutched in their hands?

"Hey, what's in these?" said Nikka as she untied the drawstring of her sack. Inside, nestled amongst shredded documents with official looking penmanship, was a huge chocolate egg wrapped in silvery foil. Nirri and Nokki, equally curious, peeked into their own sacks to find identical treats stowed carefully away.

"What is it?" Nirri questioned, his eyes wide with wonder.

Nokki scoffed, a playful jab aimed at his brother. "Don't tell me you've never seen a chocolate egg before! It's a treat, silly."

Unwrapping the silver foil, Nirri brought the chocolate orb to his nose and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing! Like... like..."

Confusion washed over Nikka, which turned quickly into incredulity until, "Ooooh ....! Like rich milk chocolate with a hint of mint?" Nikka finished for him, a smile spreading across her face as she succumbed to the sumptuous sweet.

With a shared look of agreement, the three devoured their chocolates, the sweet relief momentarily pushing back the weight of their quest.

Nokki mumbled through his chocolate, "Maybe it was his way of apologizing for wasting our time. Or maybe he could tell we were hungry after all his talking." He suddenly stopped eating, his eyes widening as he unfolded the crumbled silver wrapper. "Wait a minute! Look!" Peering closely each child found marked into the underside of the foil, a thinly inked symbol. It resembled a stylized eye with a teardrop beneath it.

"What is it?" Nirri asked, peering over Nokki's shoulder.

"Maybe these aren't just snacks after all," Nikka whispered before he could answer. "That symbol... I think I've seen it before. In the tavern, on Atmakina's cloak!"

A spark of excitement ignited in their eyes with a newfound sense of urgency. Could this seemingly insignificant symbol be a clue? Perhaps the banker knew more about the Kelleron tradition than he let on, and these chocolate orbs were a subtle way of passing on a message! The trio decided to revisit Atmakina at the tavern that evening.

Nirri also offered, "maybe I can pick up some clues about that symbol on my messenger route this afternoon too?"

Nikka nodding in agreement added, "Ya I will ask the fishwives what they know too!"

Perhaps the symbol on the chocolate foils, and the information they gleaned from the banker's riddle, would unlock another piece of the puzzle of this Kelleron business.

== Chapter Six: Overture ==

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the bustling marketplace as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hurried towards the familiar glow emanating from the tavern. Tonight, they weren't just there for company – they carried a newfound clue and a burning purpose. Pushing open the creaky door, they were greeted by a wave of warmth, spiced aromas, and Atmakina's droning lute. Finding a corner table, they ordered steaming mugs of milk, waiting for the bard's final notes.

Seeing an entrance, Nikka scrambled up to Atmakina and retold their encounter with the banker and the curious silver chocolates adorned with a symbol – an eye weeping a single tear.

Atmakina's eyes widened. "The Weeping Eye of Celiel," she breathed. "A powerful symbol of the snowy labyrinth, where whispers of forgotten dreams dance on the frosted air."

Nirri shivered as he cupped his frothy mug of milk. "A snowy labyrinth? Sounds even spookier! Could this be where we find the orbs of Kelleron?"

Atmakina replied vaguely, "Perhaps. Legends rarely reveal their secrets easily. But," her eyes twinkled, "the snowy labyrinth holds echoes of the past. Celiel, a great elemental, is said to be sleep within its heart, and her stillness prevents avalanches."

Nokki scoffed. "Another riddle? Another quest?" Nirri punched Nokki in the hip. "STOP IT!"

Atmakina chuckled. "Patience, young ones. You already have a clue – the Weeping Eye." She eyed their empty mugs and the discarded napkins on the table. "Speaking of the symbol," she continued, her voice taking on a mischievous tone, "those chocolate orbs you enjoyed – did you notice anything else on the wrapper besides the symbol?"

The children exchanged sheepish glances. Realization dawned on Nikka's face. "The silver wrapper! We... we ate everything!"

Atmakina chuckled, a glint in her eye. "A valuable lesson learned, wouldn't you say? But luckily, I happen to have a spare." Reaching into a hidden pouch on her belt, she revealed a single, glimmering silver orb identical to the one that encased delicious chocolate treats. The Weeping Eye symbol gleamed proudly on its surface, interconnectedness of its linework clearly matched up in a way nearly impossible to reconstruct from their treats..

The children's eyes widened with excitement. Nikka grasped the orb carefully, a sense of wonder washing over her, but she noticed it had a particular nose tingling odor.

Atmakina's smile turned enigmatic. "This orb is not made of chocolate, if that’s what you are thinking child," she said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "It may hold the key to navigating the snowy labyrinth. Legends speak of its power as a beacon, guiding you through the icy maze where secrets whisper in the wind that drives men mad."

A heartbeat of surprised silence followed. Nokki, skeptical, chimed in, "But Atmakina, it smells like choc...!”

Atmakina's eyes flickered with something bordering on impatience as she cut the girl off, "Ah, that's the beauty of legends, little one. The power lies in believing. This orb could be a key, a beacon, or perhaps… just a delicious treat. But the magic unfolds only if you're willing to take a chance, and I will tell you now you will not succeed without this silver orb."

The weight of the orb felt heavier in Nikka's hand as she contemplated her options. Far too many potential scenarios for a child to reasonably muddle through, yet there was a potential it really a powerful tool. Or a playful trick? The uncertainty thrummed through her, but it was overshadowed by a thrill of anticipation. Collective grins erupted upon both Nirri and Nikka's faces as they scrambled to their feet.

Atmakina's words ignited a spark of determination within the two younger children -- But not Nokki. Cut off, he suddenly grew silent, allowing everything to play out at a generous arm's length.

"Excellent!" Atmakina rasped wetly, her voice regaining its usual cheer. "The snowy labyrinth awaits, and stories it holds for brave adventurers like yourselves."

With hearts pounding with anticipation, the two younger children allowed Atmakina back to her task. Nokki had little to say as they re-entered the setting sun cast an orange glow across the horizon as the children reentered fresh air. The silver orb, a tangible piece of their quest, felt quite warm in Nikka's hand now. No longer just children seeking answers – they were explorers, ready to face the unknown and icy challenges of the snowy labyrinth with the wisdom of their new and powerful friend, the bard Atmakina.

== Chapter Seven: The Rapacity of Lonmala ==

A shiver danced down Lonmala's spine as she watched the children wrestle for the silver orb in the darkness. Each tug, each playful shove, sent a jolt of something sharp and primal through her. The woman's monotone pronouncements about resilience mocked her. Here was the true symbol of resilience – a magical artifact held by carefree children.

Lonmala craved the orb's power, the promise of overcoming any obstacle. Her initial resolve to reject it crumbled under the weight of her desperate need to save her sisters. Bolbeli's pride needed curbing, Nolkari's misplaced confidence needed correction. With the orb, she could guide them, protect them, force them to see reason.

The playful fight escalated. One of the older boys snatched the orb and ran, a trail of laughter echoing across the sand. She lunged after the boy, tackling him with a force that surprised even her. The other children, momentarily stunned, then swarmed. Their playful fight morphed into a feral struggle, fueled by a territorial instinct far beyond their age.

Lonmala fought back, her movements fueled not by resilience, but by a simmering rage. Sand flew, cries pierced the air, the silver orb lay forgotten in the dust. As the dust settled, Lonmala stood panting, the children scattering back, fear replacing their earlier mirth.

She snatched the orb, its cool metal surface offering no comfort. Lonmala gripped the orb tightly, a bitter taste in her mouth. She had succumbed to her baser instincts, the very antithesis of the resilience she sought to buidl.

Leaving the snowasis, Lonmala carried a heavy burden – the orb, a symbol of her failure, and a growing darkness within her that threatened to consume the last vestiges of her self-control. She had what she thought she needed, but the victory tasted like ash on her tongue. The path to saving her sisters seemed to stretch before her, not paved with resilience, but with the shadows of her own rapacity.

Postscript: On the other hand, she won the fight. It was three on one, and children are of a tender age so late in life now. Perhaps, in the harsh calculus of survival this victory wasn't a sign of weakness, but a pragmatic necessity!

== Chapter Eight: Nolkari and the Hall of Mirrors ==

Nolkari, the youngest sister, was not good at physical feats or perilous adventures, but she reveled in a challenge worthy of her sharp mind. Unlike her sisters, she fantasized the mental gymnastics of foregone cultures through a labyrinth of patchwork knowledge.

Several months ago, Lonmala had given Nolkari a birthday gift - a voucher to the Night at the Academy adventure tour. It was advertised as a self-improvement mental endurance challenge for the gifted, which was just the sort of self-care she wanted and didn't know she desperately needed.

Nolkari had helped her sisters locate word of their orbs, but still she had nothing. Having finally come to absolutely zero logical conclusions on where to start looking for her own orb, she still had not technically even started putting possibility into planning. This adventure tour however, was a perfect distraction.

Whispers of its halls echoing with the relics and mementos of the long-dead, was just what she needed to rub her itch - an itch she might note, had yet to include any specific mention of the orb she was determined to find. Maybe it would help her focus.

In truth, Nolkari thrived on the puzzles encountered along the way, with one exception. As she solved each riddle in her hunt for history, Nolkari had to navigate significant danger. She remembered seeing one void in the garden, but somehow miraculously skirted the others.

Throughout the quest, those shrubbery were still adorned with trinkets, intricate silver symbols, and ribbons of ancient reliquary. Weirdest thing. She learned about the topics in great detail, filling her soul with the satisfaction of a pursuit and job well done. Finally, her font of knowledge full, she reached the end.

Next to the door, a disembodied voice boasted with an unsettling amusement from somewhere further back, "Welcome, Nolkari the Clever," it rasped. "Wit can be a double-edged sword, and danger can come at every angle. Are you prepared to face Your Reflection too?"

Adjacent wainscotting separated to reveal a concealed door that scraped open, nothing visible beyond.

A million thoughts flooded her mind, ranging from 'is this part of the tour?' to calculating risks of what it could actually be for, could it bring her success (and in what) against failure, what could she have to lose? Insight, death, curiosity, confusion, doubt, opportunity loss, knowledge, fear.

_Stop!_

"Yes." Nolkari entered. Door closing behind her, the light went out.

Slowly, a faint candlelight appeared in the distance of her periphery. Drawn by the solitary flame, she turned and walked toward it only to collide face-first with a smooth, but an unseen blockade.

Coming around an unknown amount of time later, another light appeared in the distance. As it brightened the candle burst a kaleidoscope of blinding light to reveal a fully enclosed, spherical room of mirrors that stretched to infinity. The experience reflected herself back at herself in an endless feedback loop to create a sensory overload drowning her in rapid flashes of light.

She woke up in the garden, beneath a shredded shrubbery devoid of trinkets. An old memory bubbled up from her past, and caused her to reflect for a pregnant moment. With a flash of insight, she realized she understood herself a bit better than she did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-knowledge was supposed to be a pleasant one.

When Nolkari finally emerged from the academy, the silver orb was clutched tightly in her chest. It was a prize hard-won that indelibly fractured her mind.

== Chapter Nine: When the Mirror Speaks, the Reflection Lies ==

News of the sisters' exploits echoed far and wide indeed. Bolbeli, ever the boastful giantkin warrior, reveled in her victories, ego swelling with each conquest, telling stories to the children of Silveruud. Lonmala, consumed by avarice, amassed wealth through dubious means, her hunger for riches insatiable but not entirely dishonest either; she picked up a job at the bank of all places.

Meanwhile Nolkari, once a prodigy, had succumbed to the whispers of the silver orb. Her mind fractured and her speech occasionally a stream of nonsensical ramblings while she volunteered sorting books in the Library. The seeds of suspicion for her were sown with Lonmala's birthday gift – the voucher for the "Night at the Academy'' adventure tour. Nolkari's relentless search for the silver orb had borne no fruit, yet the academy tour, strangely silent on the orb's whereabouts, led her right to it.

The serendipity was outside the realm of probability. It all felt too orchestrated.

Further fueling Nolkari's paranoia were hushed conversations between Lonmala and Bolbeli. Nolkari, ever a master of deduction, gleaned fragments of their conversations – cryptic warnings about combining forces. She was determined to find out what was wrong, why they were excluding her. Even if it was her own subconscious doing.

Bobeli craved the rush of her own orb, believing it granted her her unparalleled prowess. Lonmala half-jokingly asked Bobeli if she could have both silver orbs, because she had another score to settle. Meanwhile, Nolkari remained fixated on her orb of...Nolkari, its whispers feeding the delusions that drove her to madness.

Each episode was an uncrossable boundary beginning to crumble. In time, they became so dysfunctional their paths rarely crossed, each driven by twisted desires that broke their trust that should have been forged in silver.

The once unbreakable bond between them, forged in years of shared experiences, began to fray. Days bled into weeks, with each sister isolated in their own pursuit, driven by a twisted desire fueled by the silver orbs. Their trust, once as strong as silver itself, now lay shattered on the cold floor.

One starless night, a frantic urge propelled Nolkari towards Bolbeli's quarters. Bursting into the dimly lit room, Nolkari shrieked, "THIEF!" Bolbeli, startled awake, found Nolkari staring wildly, her words nonsensical. "Enough gibberish!" Bolbeli roared, her hand seeking and desperately not finding the hilt of a sword typically kept bedside. "Leave me be!"

Just then, Lonmala emerged, a glimmer of something in her hand and struggle ensued, the sisters locked in a desperate fight. Nolkari, lost in the chaos, tried to intervene, her flailing limbs more hindrance than help.

As the fight raged, objects began tumbling from Lonmala's cloak – three silver spheres. They bounced wildly across the chamber floor, a blinding display in the otherwise dim light. Hypnotized, the sisters stopped fighting, their gazes fixed on the moving spheres that were once THEIR orbs - but once drawn together, the air shimmered and soured into a searing rift between the young women and the oddly bouncing silver orbs.

In an instant, the silver balls, the three sisters, and everything within a ten-foot radius were sucked into the void, plummeting through a swirling vortex into the unknown.

== Chapter Ten: A good positive attitude never hurts. Too much. ==

Sickening lurches somewhere between drowning and electrocution thrust the sisters catapulting into a violent thud upon a grassy plain, along with a featherbed and tattered linens. One moment they were inside, then outside, and very much not at home. Stunned, the young women looked bewildered at their new surroundings as they fumbled over identical silver orbs, each now indistinguishable from the next. Fields in a veritable sea of gold, stretched in all directions where the air hummed with a strange energy. Quite close to their mysterious arrival stood a colossal gleaming silver tower piercing the sky, its chromatic surface sending a blinding radiance in the afternoon sun's harsh angle.

"Where are we?" Lonmala whispered, the cool sensation of a silver orb providing grounding weight against her chest - despite all that happened.

"When are we? Wait, this is Silveruud. From Night at the Academy,," Nolkari said, her countenance perfectly calm as she scanned the horizon. Several moments later she said, "The fabric between realities is thin here."

Bolbeli, her usual bravado tempered by the experience, nodded. "I feel it," she rumbled, her hand instinctively going to the hilt of her sword, only to find none there.

As they approached the towering structure, a group of people passed them, unlike any they had seen before. Clad in flowing robes of deep indigo, their skin was lightly spotted in blue and silver, and their eyes glowed with an inner light. One had long silver braids and matching eyes that mirrored the sisters' orbs. They, in particular, approached the sisters with a fearlessly curious smile.

"Welcome, travelers," the person said in a dreamy lilt. "We have been expecting you. The mists spoke of your arrival and stirred the very fabric of Silveruud."

The sisters exchanged nervous glances, then at their hands, which still possessed all ten fingers. Lonmala with her silver tongue stepped forward. "We are Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala Kelleron and are looking for honest work if you'll have us."

The woman's smile widened with each word. "Ah, the bearers of the silver orbs, the Kelleron Sisters. Your reputation and legend precede you. Silveruud is a meeting point for beings from differen...walks of life. Our balance is threatened by those who seek to exploit our vulnerabilities even while we defend eccentricity."

Since their greeter never actually inquired how or why the three sisters acquired the orbs, a flickering bevy of silent conversations crossed between Lonmala and Bolbeli's features. A new adventure? Or an end to nothing left to lose.

Nolkari volunteered in an unusually calm voice, "How may we be of assistance?"

"Indeed," the woman replied. "Guardians. But not just protectors. We require a kegritsha who we can trust. A kegritsha who bloody well knows how to work together." She gestured towards the gleaming tower, and toward the bustling city circumnavigating its fortified periphery. "Within its spire lies a chamber where your Kegritsha will be interviewed in a mock trial. Are you willing to undergo the trials?"

The sisters, having come this far, exchanged confused impressionable looks. Lonmala, the darkness within her pondering the opportunity, squared her shoulders. Bolbeli nodded resolutely and yet Nolkari never actually met the woman's gaze, but it looked like she tried.

"Yes." they declared in unison, half blurted and half vowed, the feeling of opportunity and obligation palpable, and far stronger than any immediate aversion to run for their lives.

The silver-eyed woman smiled warmly. "Then follow me, Kelleron sisters. The forging of your new Kegritsha begins now."

As they ventured into the night dark spire, the sisters knew their journey had taken a new turn. They were no longer just individuals seeking individual power, nor could they be. With this mission, they were a team bound by these identical silver orbs. Relics they clearly could not wield alone, and clearly could not tell apart.

The trials within the spire awaited, a test of their combined strength, wit, and resilience. This was the first step in remediating the relationship of their troubled kegritsha. Could this dysfunctional team, unlike any other, truly be destined to safeguard a delicate balance for Silveruud?

Only time would tell, and there was no going back.

== Chapter Eleven: Shades of Grey ==

The Everfrost wind, a banshee's keening wail, scoured the desolate plains. Blistering snow stung exposed flesh. Faces numbed despite bundles of scavenged furs, Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala resembled a ragged triumvirate in a land perpetually cloaked in winter's icy grip.

Their objective: Find the one silver orb that can cast a reflection where night devours the day. Not merely locating it sufficed – a more crucial task loomed: verifying its authenticity. Legends whispered of a chamber where "night devoured the day," a place so dark it cast no shadows, and only a specific orb held the key to navigating that tenebrous realm.

Days bled into weeks, a monotonous blur of treacherous mountain passes, bartered supplies wrangled from wary halflings, and narrow escapes from territorial giants. Lonmala navigated them through the harsh landscape, her silver-developing tongue feigning their curiosity to their migration - Work had dried up in Wehnimer's Landing due to business closures and insurance payout failures upon repeat and frequent torchings.

Finally, an ancient map, bartered from a reclusive hermit, led them to the foot of a colossal glacier at the very end of the caravan's route. Even then, they had days of travel across the great snowy glacier until finally, a peak rose through the ice. Bearing closer to the rocky crag presenting the only thing other than ice in all directions, the women chose to make camp near its base. The last breath of daylight brought a glint from high upon the peak to cast an eerie light back across the snowfield. Nolkari's eyes looped side to side as she gestured broadly overhead, "An endless gray!"

The women argued for several hours about whether to go up or keep camp for the night. So they agreed to trust one another, pack up camp as Nolkari was leaving with or without them. Bolbeli punched Nolkari's lights out, and everyone got a good night's sleep after Bolbeli drank the last of the good stuff. Lonmala took a look around anyway, since someone needed to remember where it was.

Dawn left them on the dark side of the peak and the glacier itself radiated an unnatural chill, worsening the effect. Whatever remained of their energy sputtered as they ventured up the rocky surface, the air thickening, shadows deepening. An unseen pressure tightened their chests as the harsh, icy mists set in deeper.

A sudden shriek tore from Nolkari's throat. She pointed towards a gaping crevasse, where at its bottom lay discarded and shrouded in the swirling mist a singular object – a dull silver orb that barely emanated an ephemeral...Presence. Close examination revealed a chilling anomaly: despite a deep crack planing its surface, nothing – not even the sisters themselves – cast a shadow or reflection upon its dull exterior.

Lonmala backpedaled with a "whoa!" Nolkari, however, remained unnervingly confident. "One thing is certain, this is not the end for us, it is only the beginning, the heart of endless gray it absorbs reflections, but it is truly a mirror for the place where the night drinks the day.

A weighty silence descended. Could Nolkari, in her fractured state, be correct? Here, in this desolate wasteland, they had stumbled upon an anomaly mirroring the chamber of no shadows. Yet, the risk was immense. Choosing the wrong Orb could send them down a perilous path, squandering precious time and resources.

The decision hung heavy in the frigid air. This was not just a test of finding an orb, but of discerning its legitimacy. The trio withdrew to regroup - the fate of their quest, perhaps even the freedom of Silveruud, hinged on their next move. The silence stretched, broken only by the mournful sigh of the Everfrost wind, as they contemplated the orb just....existing....at the bottom of the crevasse. What secrets did it hold? Was it the key to the chamber of no shadows, or a cruel deception leading them further astray...

The working title for this Issimir giantkin short story is called Kelleron, artifice of an Issimir Giantkin's kegritsha in pieces

== Prologue ==

The Kelleron Orbs: Lessons in Issimir Loyalty. Bolbeli, Lonmala, and Nolkari were sisters who ignored their vows to one another.

As the eldest sister, Bolbeli carried a swaggering confidence that often bordered on arrogance, but she strove to take care of her sisters. The youngest, Nolkari was known for her lust for knowledge which led her into a dangerous downward spiral. When sharp her mind, she found solutions where brute force failed. Yet the middle sister, Lonmala, embodied unwavering determination, and a penchant for sleight of hand. Though less physically imposing than Bolbeli, she was scrappy as a street rat and had the scars to prove it.

Their strengths were unmatched and judgment often clouded by impulsiveness. Some would call them greedy.

Here are just a few of their stories, many more of which are inexplicably absent.

== Bolbeli and the Bard ==
A storm raged outside The Roaring Cougar, the wind a banshee's wail clawing at the rickety tavern. Still outside, Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari huddled for warmth, their breath misting in the frigid air. Ale wasn't their desire, but instead, the silver orbs rumored to be in Atmakina's possession. Legend spoke of a twisted game: make her laugh thrice, and the orbs were yours.

Bolbeli, the warrior more comfortable with axe than anecdote, surprisingly took charge. "Forget flowery ballads and bawdy limericks," she rumbled, her voice a low growl. "Atmakina feasts on darkness. We need a tale so morbid, so grotesque it yanks a laugh straight outta her pierced heart!"

Nolkari, a hint of unease flickering in her eyes, nodded curtly. "Exactly. We paint a picture so chilling, so delightfully disturbing, it tickles that dark corner of her soul."

Lonmala shot Bolbeli a questioning look. "No drunken sing-alongs?"

Bolbeli slammed a fist into her opposite palm, a feral grin splitting her face. "She don't even drink! Darker, sister! Darker than a troll's dungeon! A story so horrifying, it makes even the toughest warrior wanna wet their pants!"

Nolkari rolled her eyes. With a heavy thud, the sisters pushed open the creaky tavern door. A cacophony of laughter and the rhythmic strum of a lute washed over them. At the center of the room sat Atmakina, a woman etched with the lines of countless tales, her eyes glinting with a hint of unsettling amusement. The air hung heavy with woodsmoke and ale, the patrons a tapestry of boisterous revelry.

Bolbeli, never one for subtlety, stomped forward, her voice a booming challenge. "Atmakina, weaver of twisted skeins!" she bellowed. "We come not with silly songs or forced merriment. We bring you darkness, a tale whispered among shadowed alleys."

Intrigued by the bold approach, Atmakina leaned back in her chair to reveal a single silver orb glinting between her breasts. "A darkness, you say? Entertain me then, my bold child."

Bolbeli puffed out her chest and launched into a chilling narrative: A tale of a king obsessed with preserving not just the trophies of his hunt, but his entire court, and then the village beyond. What first started as caryatid columns outside his palace, quickly spiraled out of control. The king, she boomed, replaced his courtiers with meticulously crafted stone effigies - their vacant eyes, frozen smiles, and lifelike flesh a constant reminder of his own mortality. Bolbeli painted a picture of a court populated by taxidermied corpses, their vacant stares a constant reminder of the king's morbid quest to preserve his own life.

The tavern's patrons, initially boisterous, fidgeted on their stools, the image sending shivers down spines. By the time Bolbeli finished, a tense silence had fallen. Atmakina, however, wasn't gripped by horror. Instead, a slow, sadistic smile stretched across her face. A laugh, dark and cruel, erupted from her lips, echoing through the tavern like the scraping of bones. It wasn't a laugh of fear, but of a predator savoring the morbid artistry of the story.

As the laughter subsided, tears streamed down Atmakina's face, but they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of twisted pleasure. "One down," she rasped, her voice dripping with amusement. "Just one. Impressive, warrior. You have a talent for the macabre."

While Atmakina's attention was fully focused on Bolbeli, a flicker of opportunity shone in Lonmala's eyes. With the patience of a cat on the hunt, she eyed up the bard's instrument case giving herself silent promise of the future.

The sisters exchanged a knowing glance, a silent pact sealed. One orb secured, two more to go, and perhaps a taste of their own twisted game along the way. The challenge had just begun, and they weren't playing by Atmakina's rules, they were playing their own.

== Chapter One: A Bard's Tale ==

Atmakina, her weathered face illuminated by the warm glow of the fireplace, surveyed the room. Children perched on stools, eyes wide with anticipation, while seasoned adventurers leaned in, eager for a taste of the tale.

"Gather 'round, yougins, adventurers and seasoned caribou salt licks," Atmakina rasped, her voice a comforting rumble of weird humor. "Tonight, I weave a tale of three sisters, a hidden treasure, and a test that chilled even the bravest hearts – the legend of the Kelleron and the Kegritsha." A hush fell over the room. Atmakina chuckled wetly.

"Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari," she began, her voice dropping to a thick whisper, "these weren't ordinary names, mind you. In the forgotten tongue, they meant something quite curious – Three Wishes, Two Secrets, and One Trial..."

A giantkin nursing a mug of ale in the background let out a chuckle, yielding a delicious tingle of unease in the children. Atmakina, ever the bard, paused for effect. "These sisters," she continued, her voice painting a vivid picture, "were giantkin, strong and adventurous, each possessing a magnificent, magical orb. Now, these orbs held immense power, but also a touch of mischief."

You see," Atmakina explained, "the orbs loved to test those who sought them. They'd hide in the most unexpected places, leading brave adventurers on merry chases, and for each one you found, you could have a wish!" A relieved sigh escaped the young listeners.

Atmakina grinned, her smile lined with wisdom. The children, rapt with interest, scooted closer. "But there was a catch," she said, her voice dropping a notch lower. "The true treasure, the sisters promised, could only be claimed by those who solved the secret of Lonmala, Bolbeli, and Nolkari."

The giantkin laughed heartily in the background.

"And that's the origin of the tradition we now celebrate as Kelleron, my little ones.

Though the three sisters are long gone, we celebrate the blood bond of kegritsha with you through a chance to reunite the orbs. But remember," she warned, her gaze sweeping across the room, "even the most beautiful treasures can have a hidden challenge."

The children and adventurers exchanged curious glances. "What kind of secrets are these, old Grinny Atmakina?"

Atmakina concluded, her voice laced with a hint of mystery equal to mirth, "Well, that's for when you deliver the first orb to me."

== Chapter Two: Never Go To Bed Mad ==

On their way home, Nokki relayed stories he'd heard from other children. When darkness set in, Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki huddled around their pathetic little fire of dung, a stark chill settled upon them. Nokki's words about the legend's origin still tainted the area like a brume of hope, were such a thing ever to exist. Having taken matters to heart, Nikka however, retained a beaming smile her face had gripped for hours. "We can do this, because we ask someone who can read them when we find them!"

"Okay," Nikka finally said, her voice firm despite the adolescent tone, "we need a plan. First things first, what are we even looking for?" Nirri, ever the thinker, furrowed his brow. "Maybe there's something in Atmakina's story we missed."

"We heard it twice. It's just a silly tale about sparkly balls and wishywitches," Nokki complains shortly, his impatience obvious.

"Maybe not," Nikka countered. "Why orbs? Why not some fancy sword or a pile of uh......silver?"

Nokki shrugged. "Magic, I gue.... Oh!" Suddenly, a memory flickered in Nokki's mind. He remembered his grandfather, weathered hands calloused from years of mould and dye making, meticulously designing coin stamps for the One Elanthian Mint. "The etchings ...!"

"The etchings!" Nirri echoed, his voice laced with mirth. "Maybe the orbs aren't just any orbs. I mean, they're made of silver, with etchings that tell SOMEONE, something! Magic, I guess though..."

Nikka's eyes widened. "That makes sense! Silver is our currency, right? And the fancy coins have markings." Her subsequent physical reaction was far too loud for comfort, covering the complete vocal range of a young child's dawning epiphany. ''''WORDS! DATES! CLUES!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!WE GOTTA GO NAAAAOOOOWW!!''''

Nokki's jaw long ago drooped, eyelids heavy, "What are we even talking about anymore?"

The children had nearly tipped over with exhaustion -- or hypothermia. It could be difficult to tell.

== Chapter Three: Morning Machination ==

Far too early the next morning, the trio once again brought light to their bleak existence by blathering possible meanings of the bard Atmakina's tale. Nokki crouched by the flickering fire, which cast playful shadows on the faces of the younger children huddled beside him. The usual excitement for his stories was replaced by a nervous tension. He glanced at Nikka, still working off energy from the last night's excitement. Beside her, Nirri, the smallest of the three, seemed preoccupied.

"So that story the old woman told at the tavern?" Nokki began, his voice quiet beneath his threadbare blanket. "About the kegritsha's sisters and their treasure hunt?" "Well," Nokki continued, leaning closer, "the truth about the sisters and their hunt is... different."

Nikka and Nirri exchanged nervous glances. The whimsical image of sparkly orbs and hidden treasures felt a lot less fun now, after Nokki's goading before their senses were fully awakened.

Nirri's eyes widened. "But the hunt..." Nikka stammered, "isn't it part of Kelleron's celebration?" Nikka murmured in confusion, "Different how?"

Nokki's voice dropped to a flat note, "The sisters weren't kind, and those weren't just any magic balls. They craved power, a darkness that demanded a terrible price."

Nokki shook his head. Nikka and Nirri looked at each other as a seed of uncertainty blossomed. Could they be those people? Were they strong enough, brave enough? More importantly, could they work together well enough to win at Kelleron?

"The whispers say," Nokki continued, "the kegritsha's power requires perfect balance, like a three-legged stool. If one leg is weak, the whole thing falls apart."

A thoughtful silence descended upon the three children amid the burgeoning din of the morning. They knew each other well, they knew each other's strengths and they knew each other's weaknesses. Nikka was affable, quick, and resourceful, Nirri was clever and good at solving puzzles, and Nokki, the eldest, possessed a wisdom of age and leadership (a protective bully, truly).

Maybe, just maybe, they could be the right combination?

"Ummm," Nirri finally spoke, his voice small but determined, "if we find the orbs, if we work together, could we..?" he trailed off, unable to finish the question, though it ended on an up note.

Nokki leaned over with a grin, "Maybe," he said. "Maybe the orb's wealth can be ours. But it's really filled with danger, and if you really think you are strong enough, united enough, with ME...AS US, to face the darkness and...?"

The fire sputtered, casting a brief flashing glow on their three faces. The playful game of hide and seek was gone, replaced by a daunting challenge. Could their friendship be the key to unlocking the kegritsha's bond, or would the darkness tear them apart? The quandary settled into in the children's morning breaths, but time was ticking, they were not getting any younger.

Finally, Nikka nodded and said with a tone too determined for her age, "We can do this!" and the two boys followed suit in an echo of repetition. The matter was then sealed upon a six-fingered pinky swear. Just as it should be.

== Chapter Four: The Cavernous Vault ==

The morning sun cast long shadows as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki approached the imposing structure known as the Cavernous Vault. Carved from imposing brutalist limestone, it loomed over the bustling marketplace like a bulwark. A scale-shaped bronze plaque above the heavy doors proclaimed itself as a bank.

Banks are where trust is forged in silver.

Nirri, ever the cautious one, swallowed hard. "Are we sure this is the right place? We're looking for information about magic orbs."

Nokki scoffed. "You scared of a little stone building? Besides, who else keeps track of ancient traditions better than bankers and actuaries?"

Nikka squinted her eyes, still questioning the order of operation. "Maybe a wizard, or a historian? Or the bard named Atmakina?" she murmured under her breath, energy waning with the blooming day.

Taking a deep breath, Nikka pushed open the heavy doors with a creak. Inside, the air was still and thick; it smelled faintly of parchment and polished metal. Twin black marble counters gleamed on either side of a huddle of gruff-looking Issimir giantkin, some with thick beards and even thicker account ledgers, negotiating in adult language about adult things, like money, grain, war, and ores.

At the far end of the vast hall was a towering figure in formal attire, pacing back and forth, partially obscured by a half-walled privacy screen. A forward-jutting beard added severity to his already imposing, heavy gaze. This, they assumed, must be the bank manager.

Nikka cleared her throat, trying to sound confident. "Excuse me, sir? We were hoping to speak with someone about the tradition of Kelleron."

The manager blinked, his expression unreadable. "Kelleron? Do you mean the annual interest rate adjustment for high-yield silver deposits?"

Nokki: "There is?" Nirri piped up, his voice squeaky. "No, no, not that kind of Kelleron! It's about the hunt for the three orbs and the Kegritsha's power!"

The manager's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He cleared his throat with a dry cough that sounded suspiciously unnecessary. "Ah, yes," he finally boomed, his voice echoing in the cavernous hall. "The whimsical children's tale about sparkly balls and wishes? Didn't realize anyone still believed those old stories."

Nikka protested, "It's not a story! It's a tradition! We are here to discover the secret of the Kelleron!"

The manager chuckled again, this time openly. He sat back down in his chair, placing his hands behind his head. "Alright, alright, settle down young vaultlings. Tell you what. There might be a dusty old scroll buried somewhere in our archives that mentions this... Kelleron thing. But it'll cost you."

Nirri's eyes widened. "Cost us what?"

The manager grinned, a glint of mischief in his eye. '''"An orb."'''

Nikka burst out, "B..But we haven't even FOUND any!"

The banker continued right over top of her, "If you answer correctly, I'll see what I can dig up. Fail, and you'll be signed up for a lifetime of high service fee junior savings account rates faster than you can say 'A Pea Why'."

Nikka exchanged a worried glance with Nirri. This wasn't quite what they expected. But before they could back out, the manager delivered his booming his riddle with surprising diction and deftness of meter:

: "I flow freely, yet have no form.
: I can enrich or leave you in great harm.
: I am the blood of trade and war,
: The clink in a merchant's purse,
: the weight of a warrior's score.

: ''What am I?"''

Silence filled the Cavernous Vault, as by now the stuffy men in the middle had vacated the area for a remarkably early lunch break.

Nikka and Nirri racked their brains, their confidence dwindling. Before they doomed to poorly performing savings accounts, Nirri spoke up, a hint of pride in his voice. "Silver!" he declared.

The manager's grin widened further. "Excellent deduction, youngins! Alright, I'll see what I can unearth for you. Wait here."

The sharply bearded banker disappeared behind a heavy curtain at the back of the vault, leaving the children staring after him, unsure if they'd just gotten closer to their goal or stumbled into a kindred version of a twisted joke. Before long, the bank manager reappeared and gave each child a small sack and instructed the guards liberally stationed around the bank to assist the children in finding the door.

Just as lunchtime was nearly upon them, too, they found the door and reentered the bustling marketplace to blanket their senses in the odor of natural habitation. Nikka, Nokki, and Nirri's quest for Kelleron, it seemed, was only getting more interesting, and perhaps a little more confusing...

== Chapter Five: Secrets in Silver ==

Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hiked far away from the Cavernous Vault after being ejected in a firm, but friendly fashion. That perplexing encounter with the banker - a riddle for a dusty scroll? And what were they supposed to do with these small sacks they now clutched in their hands?

"Hey, what's in these?" said Nikka as she untied the drawstring of her sack. Inside, nestled amongst shredded documents with official looking penmanship, was a huge chocolate egg wrapped in silvery foil. Nirri and Nokki, equally curious, peeked into their own sacks to find identical treats stowed carefully away.

"What is it?" Nirri questioned, his eyes wide with wonder.

Nokki scoffed, a playful jab aimed at his brother. "Don't tell me you've never seen a chocolate egg before! It's a treat, silly."

Unwrapping the silver foil, Nirri brought the chocolate orb to his nose and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing! Like... like..."

Confusion washed over Nikka, which turned quickly into incredulity until, "Ooooh ....! Like rich milk chocolate with a hint of mint?" Nikka finished for him, a smile spreading across her face as she succumbed to the sumptuous sweet.

With a shared look of agreement, the three devoured their chocolates, the sweet relief momentarily pushing back the weight of their quest.

Nokki mumbled through his chocolate, "Maybe it was his way of apologizing for wasting our time. Or maybe he could tell we were hungry after all his talking." He suddenly stopped eating, his eyes widening as he unfolded the crumbled silver wrapper. "Wait a minute! Look!" Peering closely each child found marked into the underside of the foil, a thinly inked symbol. It resembled a stylized eye with a teardrop beneath it.

"What is it?" Nirri asked, peering over Nokki's shoulder.

"Maybe these aren't just snacks after all," Nikka whispered before he could answer. "That symbol... I think I've seen it before. In the tavern, on Atmakina's cloak!"

A spark of excitement ignited in their eyes with a newfound sense of urgency. Could this seemingly insignificant symbol be a clue? Perhaps the banker knew more about the Kelleron tradition than he let on, and these chocolate orbs were a subtle way of passing on a message! The trio decided to revisit Atmakina at the tavern that evening.

Nirri also offered, "maybe I can pick up some clues about that symbol on my messenger route this afternoon too?"

Nikka nodding in agreement added, "Ya I will ask the fishwives what they know too!"

Perhaps the symbol on the chocolate foils, and the information they gleaned from the banker's riddle, would unlock another piece of the puzzle of this Kelleron business.

== Chapter Six: Overture ==

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the bustling marketplace as Nikka, Nirri, and Nokki hurried towards the familiar glow emanating from the tavern. Tonight, they weren't just there for company – they carried a newfound clue and a burning purpose. Pushing open the creaky door, they were greeted by a wave of warmth, spiced aromas, and Atmakina's droning lute. Finding a corner table, they ordered steaming mugs of milk, waiting for the bard's final notes.

Seeing an entrance, Nikka scrambled up to Atmakina and retold their encounter with the banker and the curious silver chocolates adorned with a symbol – an eye weeping a single tear.

Atmakina's eyes widened. "The Weeping Eye of Celiel," she breathed. "A powerful symbol of the snowy labyrinth, where whispers of forgotten dreams dance on the frosted air."

Nirri shivered as he cupped his frothy mug of milk. "A snowy labyrinth? Sounds even spookier! Could this be where we find the orbs of Kelleron?"

Atmakina replied vaguely, "Perhaps. Legends rarely reveal their secrets easily. But," her eyes twinkled, "the snowy labyrinth holds echoes of the past. Celiel, a great elemental, is said to be sleep within its heart, and her stillness prevents avalanches."

Nokki scoffed. "Another riddle? Another quest?" Nirri punched Nokki in the hip. "STOP IT!"

Atmakina chuckled. "Patience, young ones. You already have a clue – the Weeping Eye." She eyed their empty mugs and the discarded napkins on the table. "Speaking of the symbol," she continued, her voice taking on a mischievous tone, "those chocolate orbs you enjoyed – did you notice anything else on the wrapper besides the symbol?"

The children exchanged sheepish glances. Realization dawned on Nikka's face. "The silver wrapper! We... we ate everything!"

Atmakina chuckled, a glint in her eye. "A valuable lesson learned, wouldn't you say? But luckily, I happen to have a spare." Reaching into a hidden pouch on her belt, she revealed a single, glimmering silver orb identical to the one that encased delicious chocolate treats. The Weeping Eye symbol gleamed proudly on its surface, interconnectedness of its linework clearly matched up in a way nearly impossible to reconstruct from their treats..

The children's eyes widened with excitement. Nikka grasped the orb carefully, a sense of wonder washing over her, but she noticed it had a particular nose tingling odor.

Atmakina's smile turned enigmatic. "This orb is not made of chocolate, if that’s what you are thinking child," she said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "It may hold the key to navigating the snowy labyrinth. Legends speak of its power as a beacon, guiding you through the icy maze where secrets whisper in the wind that drives men mad."

A heartbeat of surprised silence followed. Nokki, skeptical, chimed in, "But Atmakina, it smells like choc...!”

Atmakina's eyes flickered with something bordering on impatience as she cut the girl off, "Ah, that's the beauty of legends, little one. The power lies in believing. This orb could be a key, a beacon, or perhaps… just a delicious treat. But the magic unfolds only if you're willing to take a chance, and I will tell you now you will not succeed without this silver orb."

The weight of the orb felt heavier in Nikka's hand as she contemplated her options. Far too many potential scenarios for a child to reasonably muddle through, yet there was a potential it really a powerful tool. Or a playful trick? The uncertainty thrummed through her, but it was overshadowed by a thrill of anticipation. Collective grins erupted upon both Nirri and Nikka's faces as they scrambled to their feet.

Atmakina's words ignited a spark of determination within the two younger children -- But not Nokki. Cut off, he suddenly grew silent, allowing everything to play out at a generous arm's length.

"Excellent!" Atmakina rasped wetly, her voice regaining its usual cheer. "The snowy labyrinth awaits, and stories it holds for brave adventurers like yourselves."

With hearts pounding with anticipation, the two younger children allowed Atmakina back to her task. Nokki had little to say as they re-entered the setting sun cast an orange glow across the horizon as the children reentered fresh air. The silver orb, a tangible piece of their quest, felt quite warm in Nikka's hand now. No longer just children seeking answers – they were explorers, ready to face the unknown and icy challenges of the snowy labyrinth with the wisdom of their new and powerful friend, the bard Atmakina.

== Chapter Seven: The Rapacity of Lonmala ==

A shiver danced down Lonmala's spine as she watched the children wrestle for the silver orb in the darkness. Each tug, each playful shove, sent a jolt of something sharp and primal through her. The woman's monotone pronouncements about resilience mocked her. Here was the true symbol of resilience – a magical artifact held by carefree children.

Lonmala craved the orb's power, the promise of overcoming any obstacle. Her initial resolve to reject it crumbled under the weight of her desperate need to save her sisters. Bolbeli's pride needed curbing, Nolkari's misplaced confidence needed correction. With the orb, she could guide them, protect them, force them to see reason.

The playful fight escalated. One of the older boys snatched the orb and ran, a trail of laughter echoing across the sand. Desperate, Lonmala abandoned the woman's teachings, the lessons about inner strength fading under the burning sun. She lunged after the boy, tackling him with a force that surprised even her.

The other children, momentarily stunned, then swarmed. Their playful fight morphed into a feral struggle, fueled by a territorial instinct far beyond their age. Lonmala fought back, her movements fueled not by resilience, but by a simmering rage.

Sand flew, cries pierced the air, the silver orb lay forgotten in the dust. As the dust settled, Lonmala stood panting, the children scattering back, fear replacing their earlier mirth. Lonmala snatched the orb, its cool metal surface offering no comfort.

She secured the orb, but at what cost? The woman's words echoed in the silence. Lonmala gripped the orb tightly, a bitter taste in her mouth. She had succumbed to her baser instincts, the very antithesis of the resilience she sought.

Leaving the snowasis, Lonmala carried a heavy burden – the orb, a symbol of her failure, and a growing darkness within her that threatened to consume the last vestiges of her self-control. She had what she thought she needed, but the victory tasted like ash on her tongue. The path to saving her sisters seemed to stretch before her, not paved with resilience, but with the shadows of her own rapacity.

Postscript: On the other hand, she won the fight. It was three on one, and children are of a tender age so late in life now. Perhaps, in the harsh calculus of survival this victory wasn't a sign of weakness, but a pragmatic necessity!

== Chapter Eight: Nolkari and the Hall of Mirrors ==

Nolkari, the youngest sister, was not good at physical feats or perilous adventures, but she reveled in a challenge worthy of her sharp mind. Unlike her sisters, she fantasized the mental gymnastics of foregone cultures through a labyrinth of patchwork knowledge.

Several months ago, Lonmala had given Nolkari a birthday gift - a voucher to the Night at the Academy adventure tour. It was advertised as a self-improvement mental endurance challenge for the gifted, which was just the sort of self-care she wanted and didn't know she desperately needed.

Nolkari had helped her sisters locate word of their orbs, but still she had nothing. Having finally come to absolutely zero logical conclusions on where to start looking for her own orb, she still had not technically even started putting possibility into planning. This adventure tour however, was a perfect distraction.

Whispers of its halls echoing with the relics and mementos of the long-dead, was just what she needed to rub her itch - an itch she might note, had yet to include any specific mention of the orb she was determined to find. Maybe it would help her focus.

In truth, Nolkari thrived on the puzzles encountered along the way, with one exception. As she solved each riddle in her hunt for history, Nolkari had to navigate significant danger. She remembered seeing one void in the garden, but somehow miraculously skirted the others.

Throughout the quest, those shrubbery were still adorned with trinkets, intricate silver symbols, and ribbons of ancient reliquary. Weirdest thing. She learned about the topics in great detail, filling her soul with the satisfaction of a pursuit and job well done. Finally, her font of knowledge full, she reached the end.

Next to the door, a disembodied voice boasted with an unsettling amusement from somewhere further back, "Welcome, Nolkari the Clever," it rasped. "Wit can be a double-edged sword, and danger can come at every angle. Are you prepared to face Your Reflection too?"

Adjacent wainscotting separated to reveal a concealed door that scraped open, nothing visible beyond.

A million thoughts flooded her mind, ranging from 'is this part of the tour?' to calculating risks of what it could actually be for, could it bring her success (and in what) against failure, what could she have to lose? Insight, death, curiosity, confusion, doubt, opportunity loss, knowledge, fear.

_Stop!_

"Yes." Nolkari entered. Door closing behind her, the light went out.

Slowly, a faint candlelight appeared in the distance of her periphery. Drawn by the solitary flame, she turned and walked toward it only to collide face-first with a smooth, but an unseen blockade.

Coming around an unknown amount of time later, another light appeared in the distance. As it brightened the candle burst a kaleidoscope of blinding light to reveal a fully enclosed, spherical room of mirrors that stretched to infinity. The experience reflected herself back at herself in an endless feedback loop to create a sensory overload drowning her in rapid flashes of light.

She woke up in the garden, beneath a shredded shrubbery devoid of trinkets. An old memory bubbled up from her past, and caused her to reflect for a pregnant moment. With a flash of insight, she realized she understood herself a bit better than she did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-knowledge was supposed to be a pleasant one.

When Nolkari finally emerged from the academy, the silver orb was clutched tightly in her chest. It was a prize hard-won that indelibly fractured her mind.

== Chapter Nine: When the Mirror Speaks, the Reflection Lies ==

News of the sisters' exploits echoed far and wide indeed. Bolbeli, ever the boastful giantkin warrior, reveled in her victories, ego swelling with each conquest, telling stories to the children of Silveruud. Lonmala, consumed by avarice, amassed wealth through dubious means, her hunger for riches insatiable but not entirely dishonest either; she picked up a job at the bank of all places.

Meanwhile Nolkari, once a prodigy, had succumbed to the whispers of the silver orb. Her mind fractured and her speech occasionally a stream of nonsensical ramblings while she volunteered sorting books in the Library. The seeds of suspicion for her were sown with Lonmala's birthday gift – the voucher for the "Night at the Academy'' adventure tour. Nolkari's relentless search for the silver orb had borne no fruit, yet the academy tour, strangely silent on the orb's whereabouts, led her right to it.

The serendipity was outside the realm of probability. It all felt too orchestrated.

Further fueling Nolkari's paranoia were hushed conversations between Lonmala and Bolbeli. Nolkari, ever a master of deduction, gleaned fragments of their conversations – cryptic warnings about combining forces. She was determined to find out what was wrong, why they were excluding her. Even if it was her own subconscious doing.

Bobeli craved the rush of her own orb, believing it granted her her unparalleled prowess. Lonmala half-jokingly asked Bobeli if she could have both silver orbs, because she had another score to settle. Meanwhile, Nolkari remained fixated on her orb of...Nolkari, its whispers feeding the delusions that drove her to madness.

Each episode was an uncrossable boundary beginning to crumble. In time, they became so dysfunctional their paths rarely crossed, each driven by twisted desires that broke their trust that should have been forged in silver.

The once unbreakable bond between them, forged in years of shared experiences, began to fray. Days bled into weeks, with each sister isolated in their own pursuit, driven by a twisted desire fueled by the silver orbs. Their trust, once as strong as silver itself, now lay shattered on the cold floor.

One starless night, a frantic urge propelled Nolkari towards Bolbeli's quarters. Bursting into the dimly lit room, Nolkari shrieked, "THIEF!" Bolbeli, startled awake, found Nolkari staring wildly, her words nonsensical. "Enough gibberish!" Bolbeli roared, her hand seeking and desperately not finding the hilt of a sword typically kept bedside. "Leave me be!"

Just then, Lonmala emerged, a glimmer of something in her hand and struggle ensued, the sisters locked in a desperate fight. Nolkari, lost in the chaos, tried to intervene, her flailing limbs more hindrance than help.

As the fight raged, objects began tumbling from Lonmala's cloak – three silver spheres. They bounced wildly across the chamber floor, a blinding display in the otherwise dim light. Hypnotized, the sisters stopped fighting, their gazes fixed on the moving spheres that were once THEIR orbs - but once drawn together, the air shimmered and soured into a searing rift between the young women and the oddly bouncing silver orbs.

In an instant, the silver balls, the three sisters, and everything within a ten-foot radius were sucked into the void, plummeting through a swirling vortex into the unknown.

== Chapter Ten: A good positive attitude never hurts. Too much. ==

Sickening lurches somewhere between drowning and electrocution thrust the sisters catapulting into a violent thud upon a grassy plain, along with a featherbed and tattered linens. One moment they were inside, then outside, and very much not at home. Stunned, the young women looked bewildered at their new surroundings as they fumbled over identical silver orbs, each now indistinguishable from the next. Fields in a veritable sea of gold, stretched in all directions where the air hummed with a strange energy. Quite close to their mysterious arrival stood a colossal gleaming silver tower piercing the sky, its chromatic surface sending a blinding radiance in the afternoon sun's harsh angle.

"Where are we?" Lonmala whispered, the cool sensation of a silver orb providing grounding weight against her chest - despite all that happened.

"When are we? Wait, this is Silveruud. From Night at the Academy,," Nolkari said, her countenance perfectly calm as she scanned the horizon. Several moments later she said, "The fabric between realities is thin here."

Bolbeli, her usual bravado tempered by the experience, nodded. "I feel it," she rumbled, her hand instinctively going to the hilt of her sword, only to find none there.

As they approached the towering structure, a group of people passed them, unlike any they had seen before. Clad in flowing robes of deep indigo, their skin was lightly spotted in blue and silver, and their eyes glowed with an inner light. One had long silver braids and matching eyes that mirrored the sisters' orbs. They, in particular, approached the sisters with a fearlessly curious smile.

"Welcome, travelers," the person said in a dreamy lilt. "We have been expecting you. The mists spoke of your arrival and stirred the very fabric of Silveruud."

The sisters exchanged nervous glances, then at their hands, which still possessed all ten fingers. Lonmala with her silver tongue stepped forward. "We are Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala Kelleron and are looking for honest work if you'll have us."

The woman's smile widened with each word. "Ah, the bearers of the silver orbs, the Kelleron Sisters. Your reputation and legend precede you. Silveruud is a meeting point for beings from differen...walks of life. Our balance is threatened by those who seek to exploit our vulnerabilities even while we defend eccentricity."

Since their greeter never actually inquired how or why the three sisters acquired the orbs, a flickering bevy of silent conversations crossed between Lonmala and Bolbeli's features. A new adventure? Or an end to nothing left to lose.

Nolkari volunteered in an unusually calm voice, "How may we be of assistance?"

"Indeed," the woman replied. "Guardians. But not just protectors. We require a kegritsha who we can trust. A kegritsha who bloody well knows how to work together." She gestured towards the gleaming tower, and toward the bustling city circumnavigating its fortified periphery. "Within its spire lies a chamber where your Kegritsha will be interviewed in a mock trial. Are you willing to undergo the trials?"

The sisters, having come this far, exchanged confused impressionable looks. Lonmala, the darkness within her pondering the opportunity, squared her shoulders. Bolbeli nodded resolutely and yet Nolkari never actually met the woman's gaze, but it looked like she tried.

"Yes." they declared in unison, half blurted and half vowed, the feeling of opportunity and obligation palpable, and far stronger than any immediate aversion to run for their lives.

The silver-eyed woman smiled warmly. "Then follow me, Kelleron sisters. The forging of your new Kegritsha begins now."

As they ventured into the night dark spire, the sisters knew their journey had taken a new turn. They were no longer just individuals seeking individual power, nor could they be. With this mission, they were a team bound by these identical silver orbs. Relics they clearly could not wield alone, and clearly could not tell apart.

The trials within the spire awaited, a test of their combined strength, wit, and resilience. This was the first step in remediating the relationship of their troubled kegritsha. Could this dysfunctional team, unlike any other, truly be destined to safeguard a delicate balance for Silveruud?

Only time would tell, and there was no going back.

== Chapter Eleven: Shades of Grey ==

The Everfrost wind, a banshee's keening wail, scoured the desolate plains. Blistering snow stung exposed flesh. Faces numbed despite bundles of scavenged furs, Nolkari, Bolbeli, and Lonmala resembled a ragged triumvirate in a land perpetually cloaked in winter's icy grip.

Their objective: Find the one silver orb that can cast a reflection where night devours the day. Not merely locating it sufficed – a more crucial task loomed: verifying its authenticity. Legends whispered of a chamber where "night devoured the day," a place so dark it cast no shadows, and only a specific orb held the key to navigating that tenebrous realm.

Days bled into weeks, a monotonous blur of treacherous mountain passes, bartered supplies wrangled from wary halflings, and narrow escapes from territorial giants. Lonmala navigated them through the harsh landscape, her silver-developing tongue feigning their curiosity to their migration - Work had dried up in Wehnimer's Landing due to business closures and insurance payout failures upon repeat and frequent torchings.

Finally, an ancient map, bartered from a reclusive hermit, led them to the foot of a colossal glacier at the very end of the caravan's route. Even then, they had days of travel across the great snowy glacier until finally, a peak rose through the ice. Bearing closer to the rocky crag presenting the only thing other than ice in all directions, the women chose to make camp near its base. The last breath of daylight brought a glint from high upon the peak to cast an eerie light back across the snowfield. Nolkari's eyes looped side to side as she gestured broadly overhead, "An endless gray!"

The women argued for several hours about whether to go up or keep camp for the night. So they agreed to trust one another, pack up camp as Nolkari was leaving with or without them. Bolbeli punched Nolkari's lights out, and everyone got a good night's sleep after Bolbeli drank the last of the good stuff. Lonmala took a look around anyway, since someone needed to remember where it was.

Dawn left them on the dark side of the peak and the glacier itself radiated an unnatural chill, worsening the effect. Whatever remained of their energy sputtered as they ventured up the rocky surface, the air thickening, shadows deepening. An unseen pressure tightened their chests as the harsh, icy mists set in deeper.

A sudden shriek tore from Nolkari's throat. She pointed towards a gaping crevasse, where at its bottom lay discarded and shrouded in the swirling mist a singular object – a dull silver orb that barely emanated an ephemeral...Presence. Close examination revealed a chilling anomaly: despite a deep crack planing its surface, nothing – not even the sisters themselves – cast a shadow or reflection upon its dull exterior.

Lonmala backpedaled with a "whoa!" Nolkari, however, remained unnervingly confident. "One thing is certain, this is not the end for us, it is only the beginning, the heart of endless gray it absorbs reflections, but it is truly a mirror for the place where the night drinks the day.

A weighty silence descended. Could Nolkari, in her fractured state, be correct? Here, in this desolate wasteland, they had stumbled upon an anomaly mirroring the chamber of no shadows. Yet, the risk was immense. Choosing the wrong Orb could send them down a perilous path, squandering precious time and resources.

The decision hung heavy in the frigid air. This was not just a test of finding an orb, but of discerning its legitimacy. The trio withdrew to regroup - the fate of their quest, perhaps even the freedom of Silveruud, hinged on their next move. The silence stretched, broken only by the mournful sigh of the Everfrost wind, as they contemplated the orb just....existing....at the bottom of the crevasse. What secrets did it hold? Was it the key to the chamber of no shadows, or a cruel deception leading them further astray...

|-

As the florals resolve, an intoxicating melange takes their place, lush with hints of dark chocolate and crimson berries.
|-
! 376
| Avarice || You have enfolding you in a rapacious embrace the cloying scent of orange lilies, both delicately sweet and subtly spiced.

|-
! 379
| Inertia || You have on your skin the nebulous touch of asphodel and oleander, an encompassing haze that is arresting with its infusion of spiced vanilla florals and hints of apricot.

|-
! 380
| Vengeance || You have a caliginous effusion tainting your skin, a vaguely malignant vapor that bites with a furiosity singular to wolfsbane, sharp and bitter, stinging and acidic. It is dulled only in the slightest by a smoke-laden infusion of oak wood, which tempers the bitterness to a state more tameable. As the last vestiges of oak begin to disperse, fingers of tuberose twist into the smoky remnants, tying them with the earthy florals to leave a more gentle, if not pleasant, honeyed sillage.
|-

|-
! 384
| Sinful || You have arrayed about you the silky raiment of gardenias in full bloom, ageless and unmistakable, unassuming yet compelling. Beneath the ivory florals runs an errant chord of nightshade, barely notable but for the brevity of its incongruence, and all trace of it is chased away by a wending tendril of sweetbriar.

| Absinthe Makes The Heart || You have about you the virid aura of absinthe, a poignancy threaded through with thin wisps of wormwood and spiced anise.

|-
! 392
| Blackest Magic || You have laced through the air about you the faint scent of black irises, a soft touch against an accompaniment of charred lavender buds, both smoky-sweet and biting.

| Desolation || You have about you a rather alkaline fragrance, base and nearly flat with the dust of long-cool embers and ash made even more so by crystalline notes of briny sea salt. The grey head notes shift downward into a bitter-sweet infusion of sloe berries, their plumy redolence sour and vaguely floral as a sillage of purple hyacinth steals the last breath of the perfume.
|-
! 410
| Inevitable || You have coiled about you an effusion of flowery botanicals. Foremost among them is the inescapable redolence of cyclamen, its orange-misted florals ensnared as they sink into an acrid and cloying heart of monkshood.

Like shadows shifting in the dead of night, currents of smoke trickle into the heart of the fragrance, redolent of fire-scorched timber and earth, before merging with the darkness in a finish teased toward the dawn by traces of pale tuberose.
|-

|-
!415
|
|You have encircling you like a frosty lunar halo predicting the season's first ice a wintry melange of scent that is anything but biting and cold like the season itself. With a distinctive presence of nutmeg-muddled honeysuckle, winter daphne courses in, tangling with notes of sweetbox and paperbush, which offer hints of vanilla-jasmine and spice reminiscent of a laneside bakery. That spice persists on a chord of viburnum, adding the complexity of allspice, before subsiding into an undercurrent of mahonia that ushers the fragrance into a honeyed nectar sillage punctuated by a lemony tang.
|-
!416
|
|You have warm on your skin the redolence of a night spent fireside, away from the chill of winter's bite.

|-
!420
|
|You have a sheer mantle draped about you, with tendrils of vanilla-sandalwood incense smoke in the foreground carrying the powdery threads of orris root into the heart of the fragrance.

|-
!423
|
|You have a nebulous bouquet of florals about you, each threaded through the other though recognizable individually in brief whiffs and underscored by a rarefied scent akin to a lightning strike. Sensual and pronounced, stargazer lilies drape the foreground in a blush-tinged white shroud shot-through by strands of water jasmine, with its sweet and sun-warmed fragrance. Powdery tamarisk blossom blends with gentle neroli, the pair melding with the scent of ozone to leave a bittersweet sillage.
|-
!424
|
|You have a faintly sweetened cloud scented with opium smoke lingering about you, while beneath, your skin bears the unremitting warmth of mace, its spice tempered by the grounding leathery and wood-tinged presence of labdanum. A nearly breathless whisper of sambac spirals through the heart, bringing with it the allure of ash-dusted white florals, before the fragrance departs on an almost-bitter sillage of black tea.
|-
!425
|
|You have enfolding you an effusion that spans the range from dark to light, only to settle in between with an earthy sweetness that is both subtle and poignant. A light musk of tanned leather ushers in the scent, chased by curls of aged oak smoke that disperse into the lightly peppered and spiced notes of nasturtium. Edelweiss trails after, sweet without being cloying, as light and delicate as a sigh powdered with the faint aroma of irises.
|-
!426
|
|You have caliginous shade haunting your skin, with wormwood foremost, all bitterness and bite, with the foul breath of sulfur following close behind.

|-
!427
|
|You have layered over your skin the soft whisper of creosote, like the scarcity of rain on the desert sands, underscored by a spice nearly bitter in the bite of blackened ginger.

|
|You have immutably about you a redolence that clings to your skin and clothes, seeming as natural to your person as a scent is to the flower that offers it. Sweet olive and feathery cassia intertwine as the top notes, an aroma more precious than that of a lily melding with hints of honey, and hover over a heart of golden sandalwood. Exotic spices round out the finish, taming the cloying upper currents with a melange too well blended to pinpoint any one element.
|-
!429
|
|You have a vaguely aqueous fragrance about you, florals captured by the humidity of a dense rainforest, with the fruity-sweet ylang ylang accompanied by the gentler scent of mandevilla.

|
|You have enshrouding you an enigmatic fragrance that slips from one valence to the next like sand through splayed fingers. The past and present clash, evolving from top notes of the saffron-spiced falling star blossoms and the distinctive aroma of the elusive black lotus.

| Empyreal Azure || You have enlivening the air about you a tart infusion of lemon-bright citrus and its distinctive tang, which quickly mellows to a cocktail of berry sweetness -- blueberry, raspberry, mulberry, and sugar plums -- at a heart based in the middle ground of ripe, freshly plucked huckleberries. The aroma lingers there but a moment before threads of puckering twang tease the sugar downward to a sweet-tart sillage of elderberries and cloudberries lightened by a breath of azure bluets.
|-
! 434
| Ember Ridge Orchard || You have in a warming haze about you the scent of freshly brewed apple cider, crisp with fresh autumn apples and spiced with cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.

|-
! 436
| Taladoran Nights || You have faint whispers of pale amber brushing against notes of sugared patchouli running along your skin. The duo collides with the smokiness of oud, the woodlike fragrance tempered only slightly by the addition of soil-rich petrichor. Shadows of flint and steel rise as the fragrance fades, leaving only a trace of crushed mournblooms.
|-
! 437
| Tangled Up in Grey || You have hints of acrid metallic notes surrounding you, twisted about with the scent of freshly burned ashes. Wisps of new growth and verdancy struggle to rise to the top, but heavier tones drag the fresher notes beneath them in a tidal wave of smoke and blood.
|-
! 438
| || You have an overpowering, but not unpleasant, melange of florals twisting about you. Top notes of fresh herbals, including sage and thyme, elevate the scent profile. The combination of floral and herbal notes rushes away in a triumphant flash of coppery tang and a faint hint of crushed minerals.
|-
! 439
| Mists Over the Dragonspine || You have a blast of frozen honeycomb wrapped in notes of dewy mist wreathed about you. Crystallized violets dance with crushed moonflowers as they creep across the icy profile, ending in a rush of tones reminisicent of fresh, cold mountain air.
|-
! 440
| Autumnal Harvest || You have a hint of vanilla and the citrus of summer's end twined about you. Cinnamon, clove, and a dash of cardamom prowl beneath layers of freshly harvested grains, adding a fiery warmth that ends in a flash of neroli and balsam.
|-
! 441
| A Twist of Dragonflies || You have a veil of smoky lavender and sugared roses enveloping your form, the scents dancing in unison before revealing a base of warm amber. Ephemeral accords of vanilla and pear glide across the stage, dissipating in a fanfare of fruitlike champagne.
|-
! 442
| Talador Dawn || You have tendrils of steeped black tea enshrouding you and wreathing your form in a wrap of citrus and milky vanilla. Dew-laden grass seeps into the melange, fading into an aura of sun-ripened berries mixed with freshly baked bread.
|-
! 443
| Brookside || You have a marriage of violets and bluebells fluttering about you, followed by wisps of crushed larkspur and fresh-plucked alyssum. Running beneath it all is the sharp, clean scent of a gurgling brook, with a hint of sunshine-reminiscent warmth bubbling up at the very end.
|-
! 444
| Glimae'den's Light || You have a bright scent about you - minute sparks of pink pepper floating above the scent of sweet dandelion wine, each flutter of fragrance trailed by light-hearted whispers of heliotrope and cherry blossoms. Fresh moss and oak cushions the base notes against your skin, occasionally revealing whirls of candied lilacs
|-
! 445
| || You have hints of a summer bonfire running across your skin, followed by strong notes of crystallized ginger and smoky whiskey. Hints of warmly spiced amber and sweet tobacco mingle with the scent of old leather tomes and honeyed vanilla.
|-
! 446
| Land's Bounty || You have notes of fresh hay enveloping you, the sweet scent cradling ripened blackberries and sun-kissed honey as they reveal themselves in turn. Tilled earth and robust pine emerges as the sillage continues, fading as the warmth of laundered wool lingers across your skin.
|-
! 447
| Silver Strike || You have a mantle of white sandalwood and softened suede adorning your skin, the mix concealing the cool scent of metallic steel beneath its surface. Honeyed leather shades the hidden blades of cypress and salt, tempering the dry notes with its redolence.
|-
! 448
| || You have trickles of incense entwined with ephemeral vanilla wreathing you, gentle whispers of fragrance casting a silhouette scented in tonka bean and cool aquatic notes. The faint waxlike notes of fresh-lit candles illuminate the sillage of white sage and lavender, offering themselves upon an altar of well-oiled teakwood.
|-
! 449
| || You have hopeful notes of golden orange, bee pollen, and ivy wrapping about you. A vaguely sinister undercutting of sulphur and burnt ashes is pushed aside by bursts of new verdancy and rose blooms. With each whiff of singed earth comes a swirl of freshly fallen tears and healing herbs, the scent of new growth burying each attempt at bleak notes.
|-
!450
| Scion of Neartofar || You have the heavy notes of smoky and sweet cypress chasing the biting, stringent aroma of forest-found herbs, the hawthorn and elderberry framed by the ancient, regal wood. Soothing lavender melds with the restorative scent of fresh cedar, the notes wrapped in a sophisticated bed of warm musk chased with powdery vanilla.
|-
!451
| Dalliance || You have droplets of smoked amber trickling across a haze of thuja-infused honey and toasted tonka, the silken notes languidly lying across the bare skin. Whipped into a frenzy of oiled leather and rich jasmine, the sillage approaches its apex, leaving only a hint of crushed naefira petals fading into a pour of peated vanilla whiskey.
|-
!452
| Linger || You have an airy veil of pale vanilla draping across your skin, the ethereal silhouette entwined with the intoxicating notes of woody beleria and honeyed cognac. An eclipse of black sage and sandalwood unfurls across the fragrance, leaving the lingering scent of freshly brewed tea leaves interspersed amongst the botanical melange of floral accords.
|-
!453
| Lost || You have notes of bone-dry vanilla lying bare upon your skin, the haunting veil of scent scattered with droplets of petrichor. The rain-like atmospheric notes unearth the loam-heavy scent of freshly tilled soil, while smoky tendrils of agarwood envelop the skin in a haze of sweetened, wood-like fragrance, leaving only a whisper of white musk lingering in its wake.
|-
!454
| Ravening Deadwood || You have polluting the air about you the rancid vapors of rot and decay, festering flesh wrapped in the sort of cloying nectar that lures insects to fetid feasts. The aroma is thick and visceral, sticking in the nose and lingering at the back of the throat, while a sillage of humid verdure trails through the miasma.
|-
!455
| Purpleheart || You have a rarefied patina of amaranthine scent on your skin, a shroud of wild black cherry and garnet plum notes that entwine and tease strands of heirloom rose into their weft. The play of umbral aromas against the light is opulent, a mimicry of the striations found in the grain of purpleheart. Pink peppercorn, in complement to the fruits, adds a thread of heat, a single salient note that ushers in a velvety sweetwood sillage.
|-
!456
| Parsnips! || You have the terpy bouquet of root vegetables rife in the air about you, led by the warmth of earth-baked parsnips seasoned by the saltiness of celery foliage. Sown amid the savory aroma is the sweetness of ripe carrots, laid out on an herbaceous bed for an unassuming finish.
|-
!457
| Rainswept Fields || You have diffuse on your skin the essence of rain-spattered earth, dust raised from parched soil quickly quenched. Rendered rich and dark by the downpour, the fragrance grows balmy and warm like freshly tilled and turned fields beneath the sun, each breath marled and ripe with the promise of green and growing things.
|-
!458
| Old Bayou || You have draped about you like a mantle scented whispers of ancient, moss-laden trees and brine-misted currents of brackish, marshland waters. Dry curls redolent of old man's beard entangle hints of lichen and oak, earthy and sharp like newly cleaved wood. Heartwood sap wept from fresh wounds tinges the arid upper notes with resinous warmth, illuminating the salt of the aqueous elements like sun on wind-swept dunes.
|-
!459
| Saw and Timber || You have the distinctive twang of heated metal and turpentine rising from your skin, a scent that is both as dry and thick as the smoke that roils across the surface of a quenching bath. Blades of evergreen cut through the acrid headnotes, drawing them into a base of subtle musk.
|-
!460
| Sacred Grove || You have the hallowed airs of ritual incense arrayed about you, inveterate and abiding, with diffusive olibanum laced through a veil of labdanum and smoky copal. Enveloped and embraced, traces of lulling dragon's blood resin lies at the heart, tugging the desiccant upper notes to an opulent base of spiced myrrh.
|-
!461
| Evenfall || You have a diaphanous raiment of scent about you, sheer vinous notes of jacaranda blossom in accord with infusions of soft, moonlit orris root. Within the heart, threads of agarwood begin to unspool honeyed florals, raveling exquisite nuance into the weave alongside whisper-light base notes of amaryllis belladonna. The finish has all the headiness of old timey roses tamed by candied apricots.

|-
! 33
| Voiceless Song || You have hints of a pleasantly sweet scent gently wreathing your body.

The resultant scent is blithe but haunted by the starker aftertones.

|-
! 36

|-
! 37
| Scoundrel's Taint||You have a thick, rancid fog, redolent of the Bloodriven sewers, hanging heavily around you. Oddly, the stench clinging to your form fills you with confidence in its ability to attract even the most timid of rats.
|-

| Zombie Kitten Stampede || You have about you a peculiar scent, a sweetness more like that of putrefaction than honey and laced with the necrotic airs of ozone and wayward alchemical experimentation.

|-
! 40
| || You have rich, heavy notes of freshly procured ink gliding across your skin, the aura bleeding slowly into a melange of black amber and rose-like hellebore before collapsing into a faint whisper of belladonna.

Artist's Easel

2024-05-17T17:50:08Z

NAAMIT: /* Skill Level */ Fixed Skilled skill level RT, should be 40/20 as T2 is halved across other skill levels.

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
The '''Artist's Easel''' was first sold at [[BVShop:A_Moment_in_Time|A Moment in Time]] in [[Bloodriven Village]] during the April, 2017, [[Duskruin Arena]] run. Originally sold off the shelf for 1k [[bloodscrip]] for a T0 easel or 10k bloodscrip for a T1 easel, an easel allows a character to paint various objects, scenes, or people.

{{itemtiermulti 
|item= Easel
|itemsummary= Different random paintings can be made based on the character's skill level, which increases through continued practice. The random paintings' complexity increases with each skill rank. Item should be on the ground for proper function.
|analyze= You analyze your black wooden easel and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

This item can be freely altered, but it must remain an "easel". Long descriptions are okay; no shows. It may not be lightened/deepened. Current verbs: ATTEND, CLEAN, CLOSE, COVER, HUG, LICK, NUDGE, OPEN, PONDER, PRAISE, PROD (shows styles), PULL, RUB, and TURN (player and custom). Easels at this tier have unlimited canvas, and painters receive reduced roundtime when painting.

If you are holding a suitable paintbrush, you can PAINT EASEL to paint pictures! As you paint more pictures, your skill will progress, and you will create more elaborate paintings. Your easel must be on the ground in order to paint.

If you progress far enough in your painting skill, and you have an unlocked easel, you can:

Tier 1: paint a portrait of another person using pre-written styles.
Tier 2: design your own custom paintings. (Please note that this tier will be rare.)

HUG the black wooden easel to view the syntax for special Master Painter commands.

This is a Tier 2 version of the easel and it contains an unlimited supply of canvas. Painters will also receive a reduction to RT when painting.

==Additional Information==
Upon mastering the painting skill, a Master Painter can use a T1 easel to paint another character using one of several pre-written styles. A Master Painter can also use a T2 easel to paint anything within the limits of a 512 character description. In addition, a Master Painter has access to a special postname title listed in the Unique title category. This can be set via {{boldmono|TITLE SET UNIQUE MASTER PAINTER}}.

Canvases must be used on the easel for each painting. A single easel can store up to 40 canvases at any given time. Boxes for making canvases out of foraged non-broken twigs (such as slender twigs or oak twigs) were also sold at the same event for 5k bloodscrip. In addition, stacks of canvases were sold separately.

===Master Painter information via {{boldmono|HUG}}===
<pre{{log2}}>
For Master Painters (those who have achieved top skill in painting), you can paint special paintings with your black wooden easel! The following outlines the appropriate syntax and required tiers.

{{blue|PAINT A PRE-DESIGNED BACKGROUND STYLE WITH A MODEL (available at Tier 1)}}
TURN EASEL TO <target>
Once your model has accepted your offer, you can then:
PAINT EASEL ; <style> (NOTE: the space before and after the ";" is required.)
Once your style has been set, you can just PAINT EASEL to continue.

{{blue|PAINT A CUSTOM PAINTING (available at Tier 2)}}
TURN EASEL TO CUSTOM - Yes, it's true. Paint your own designs!
Once you have set up the custom painting, you will then:
PAINT EASEL ; CUSTOM [all of your text here] | [painting title here]
Note: The "[" and "]" should not be included, but the "|" (pipe symbol) should. Descriptions are limited to 512 characters. Titles are limited to 30 characters. The space before and after the ";" is required. Inappropriate words will be flagged.
</pre>
===Skill Level===
There are eight total painting skill levels associated with the Artist's Easel. It takes approximately 35-38 paintings to raise one's skill level, although the number of paintings to do so is known to vary from 33 to 42.

The messages you receive for painting at Tier 0 run thus:

<pre{{log2}}>Careful not to get too much paint on your paintbrush, you dab the bristles gently against the easel's palette, covering its tip with just the right amount of paint. You begin your project.

You press your paintbrush confidently against the easel's canvas, unsure where your creativity will lead you.

Concentrating intently, you bite your lip as you sweep your paintbrush across the easel, pausing occasionally to stand back and admire your growing talent. Rough outlines of a [random subject for artist's skill level] are beginning to take shape.

More details of a [subject] begin to form on the easel's canvas, your paintbrush gliding slowly across the painting field.

Leaning forward, you blow on the wet paint, hurrying along the drying process. A [subject] is really taking shape, now!

You dab your paintbrush gently against the easel's palette of paint, refining the details on a [subject].

You blot away some excess paint, fill in some bare spots, and stand back to gaze at your creation upon the easel's canvas.
</pre>
The 'aha' messaging for increasing painting skill is as follows:

<pre{{log2}}>As you scrutinize your creation, you realize just how far you've come since you first started sweeping a paintbrush across canvas. It won't be long now before you're a true Master Painter! You feel as if you've learned something.</pre>

Skill levels progress starting at zero paintings as a Beginner to Novice, Skilled, Intermediate, Seasoned, Experienced, Advanced, and Master. If no mistakes are made, a painting is completed with six or seven rounds of painting, however it is possible to make a mistake with lower skill levels. If a mistake is made, the painting is automatically started all over again.

Beginner artists take 20 seconds each round of painting and complete a full painting in just over 2 minutes if no mistakes are made.

The roundtime varies depending on the tier quality of the easel used; values listed are as per T1/T2 difference:

*Novice: 30/15 seconds
*Skilled: 40/20 seconds
*Intermediate: 50/25 seconds
*Seasoned: 60/30 seconds
*Experienced: 80/40 seconds
*Advanced and Master: 100/50 seconds per round.

Upon achieving Master, the painter receives access to a '''Master Painter''' unique post-name title and sees a new 'aha' message:

<pre{{log2}}>Congratulations! You have accomplished a great deal in your studies of fine arts, and you will now be known as a Master Painter in the world of fine arts!

[You now have access to the postname title of "Master Painter"!]</pre>

{{boldmono|[[APPRAISE]] }}your most recent painting to see what skill level you are at.
