Obelin

1. a battered military cap with an antique emblem - meant to represent military service either long ago or fake - WEAR, SALUTE, RUB
2. WEAR - You place the cap atop your head in one smooth, precise motion. That's showing them how it's done.
3. Person awkwardly slaps his military cap onto his head and nudges it a couple of times to get it in place. Between the skewed angle and a few loose wisps of hair, something suggests he may not have worn it recently.
4. SALUTE - You snap to attention and bring your hand up to your military cap in a crisp, sharp salute offering full respects.
5. Person begins to raise his right hand before halting and offering a bizarre, overly intricate salute with his left. It goes on for some time.
6. RUB - You subtly polish a non-existent smudge on the insignia of your military cap, making sure to draw special attention to the distinguishing mark for valor. Honor? Something like that.
7. Person clears their throat and gestures dramatically to indicate the baffling insignia on their military cap. Some unidentifiable creature with mysterious anatomy stands rampant, all color washed away by time.

Traiva

1. a white feather fan with a scuffed rosewood handle - a fan for the not-so-graceful, using WAVE, SPIN, and COVER
2. WAVE: You wave your feather fan wildly in an attempt to cool yourself.  For all your effort, you only manage to send a few loose tufts airborne in your direction, causing you to sneeze!
3. {Person} waves {his/her} feather fan wildly, setting loose tufts airborne.  One settles on {Person}'s nose, causing {him/her} to sneeze!
4. SPIN: You idly spin your feather fan around in small circles.  It goes crashing to the floor as you suddenly lose your grip on the handle.  You quickly retrieve your fan, hoping no one saw.
5. {Person} loses {his/her} grip on {his/her} feather fan as they spin it around in small circles, sending it crashing to the floor.  {He/She} quickly retrieves it, glancing around sheepishly.
6. COVER: You hold your feather fan up to cover your face, attempting a coy gaze over the white feathers.
7. {Person} holds {his/her} feather fan up to {his/her} face in an attempt to look coy, but the feathers resting on {his/her} upper lip like a fluffy white mustache give more of a comical appearance.

Siggurd

1. a partitioned spice jar -
This is a fluff item meant to add spices to a food item in your left hand like custom manna bread, food items, and hopefully a cooking pot from EG2013/2014. I'll be using the main verbs of Turn/Shake/Tap, There should also be a Look(to see what spice you're on) and an Open and Close.

Shake (empty left hand and jar open): You upend and vigorously shake your spice jar trying to break up clumps of (salt/pepper/sugar/thyme/cinnamon/) forgetting its still open and cover your hand in (salt/pepper/sugar/thyme/cinnamon/)

5: Third person Shake:
Shake (with applicable item in left hand and jar open): XXXXX shakes (his/her) spice jar heavily adding (salt/pepper/sugar/thyme/cinnamon/) to (his/her) (lefthandfooditem) obviously trying to fix a lack of flavor.

Luxelle

1. a miniature illuminated book wrapped in starry tapestry cloth
It is a miniature Book of Hours that is worn. This is for the Ronan Version. Clearly every Arkati will want one!

2. HOLD: Reaching for your Book of Hours with one hand, you cup your other hand over the cover and pause to draw a long, cleansing breath. A peaceful presence calms and encourages you.
3. Luxelle reaches for a miniature illuminated book with one hand and clasps her other hand over the cover as she draws along and slow breath. 

4. READ: You open your Book of Hours to a particularly inspiring section and take in the inspiring words. A Unicorn graces the margin space and top of the page in an exquisitely illuminated illustration. Light dances off the gilding on it's horn, making the mythical creature appear to almost move.
5. Luxelle picks up her miniature illuminated book and spends a few quiet moments reading over it. Gilding on the page dances in a tiny bright reflection before she closes the book and looks up.

6. WHISPER: Gathering your Book of Hours near, you close your eyes and offer a quiet prayer up to the Lord of Dreams.
7. Closing her eyes, Luxelle draws a miniature illuminated book to her. Her lips barely move, but you cannot make out even a single syllable of her barest of whispers.

Kalyrra

1. a mechanical moon orbit model with dull bronze gears
This is a moon orbit model which shows the orbits of the Elanthian moons and related astronomical events. The orbit model is intended to be held or placed on a surface so you can CLEAN, GAZE, and TURN it.

2. CLEAN - Using a soft cloth and a tiny wire brush, you lightly clean each component of your orbit model.  You inspect each moving part for any issue that may affect functionality, while checking the stationary elements for dust and smudges.
3. With a soft cloth and a tiny wire brush in hand, Kalyrra carefully cleans away any dust, smudges, or debris from each individual component of her orbit model.

4. GAZE - You gaze intently at your orbit model, studying each fascinating detail. A faint memory pops into your head, old enough to be hazy and incomplete. Blinking out of the memory, you return to your observation with an uncomfortable sadness at the edge of your thoughts.
5. Kalyrra gazes at her orbit model intently. After a moment lost in thought, she blinks abruptly and returns to observing the details of the model with a small frown on her face.

6. TURN - Gently turning the small crank on the side of the orbit model sets the bronze gears at the base of the device in motion.  Slowly, the model's thin arms begin to rotate, moving the individual quartz moons positioned atop each arm along their proper paths. As the four moons continue to move together in an age-old celestial dance, you take note of any significant alignments or eclipses.
7. Kalyrra gently turns a small crank on the side of her orbit model.  Slowly, the moons on the model's arms begin to move along their paths in an age-old celestial dance.
