A '''shimmering glaesine orb''' was an item given out to all characters to celebrate the release of day/night mechanics in March of 2002. The storylines for this release started with the [[The Vishmiir | Vishmi'irka quest]] which caused western [[Elanith]] to be in perpetual night. A ritual was performed to resolve this quest, but that then caused [[Elanthia]] to stop rotating and thus a situation of perpetual daylight. A final fix was performed by [[elven mages]] <!-- needs fixing --> to return Elanthia to a proper state and with it actual day/night mechanics and messaging. The orb is character attuned and able to be worn. |

Additional Information

The air about you shimmers slightly, a silvery hue as if all the starry light of the midnight sky has coalesced in one place. When the shimmering light fades, you notice a tiny gift remains behind, pinned to your clothing. inv You are wearing a shimmering glaesine orb, ...
Appearance
LOOK
The orb is shaped of pure midnight blue glaes, crafted into a perfect orb. It hangs from a delicate silver chain affixed with a tiny moon-shaped mithril pin. Tiny shimmering crystals hover inside the orb, pulsating slightly with the light of the stars. Currently they form the shape of the constellation of The Cat's Paw. Barely visible on the glaesine surface of the orb, some words have been etched in minute script around its circumference.
READ
Minute but elegant script is barely visible as it encircles your glaesine orb...
"Frae Naira vers Deiam, Jae esais bevre Tua ae te Draekeche."
"From Dusk til Dawn, I stand between thee and the darkness."

Elemental Detection
Casting Elemental Detection (405):
You gesture at a shimmering glaesine orb. The orb vibrates gently. A brief vision of a glittering implosion in a darkened void fills your mind. Brightly glowing spheres are flung outward from the center of the implosion, hurtling through the darkness as they yet bring illumination to the void. Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Loresong
As Arianiss sings, your eyesight fades and all around you sinks into a void of velvety darkness. Gradually, your vision returns. As Arianiss's voice rises and falls, your vision fades to utter darkness. Suddenly an implosion shakes the blackness of the void, the searing brightness at its center blinding you momentarily before your eyesight returns. As Arianiss continues to sing, your eyesight dims. You see the image of brightly glowing spheres hurtling away from the center of a bright implosion, bringing light to the far reaches of the velvety darkness of the void. Slowly, your eyesight returns and your surroundings fade into view. As Arianiss concludes the song, your vision dims one final time. Glowing spheres of light hurtling away from a bright center begin to slow their advance into the darkness around them, eventually hovering with gentle grace as pinpoints of light in the unending sea of midnight. Pulsating slightly, the spheres hum with the resonance of all the ages. Slowly, your eyesight returns and your surroundings fade into view.
