Sterling feathered jewelry was introduced as an update to the Ghezyte chelioboros item quest reward first released at Ebon Gate 2017. At Ebon Gate 2021, the ability to convert the item's appearance and abilities, along with its deity, was made available as part of the quest. It is a self-charging item that has different abilities based on whether one has completed the yearly quest and/or converted to the deity Gosaena. Similar to the ghezyte chelioboros item, the amount of favor gained for it allows its various upgrades. The first year being 1000 followed by 2000 for the second year. Favor is garnered by doing the various Caligos Isle yearly quest(s). There is a cost of 250,000 silver to purchase the item from the chest when available on Caligos Isle. Once purchased, the item is attuned to the character that picked it up.

Note: The verbs for each year are unlocked automatically each year, and are not tied to favor gain. There are no year 5 verbs available for quest items that have been converted to other deities.

The item can be rotated between four various worn locations via the PROD verb. Those four locations include wrist(bracelet), finger(ring), neck(choker), and ankle(anklet).

The LOOK/TAP of the item is: a sterling silver-feathered (noun) with green abalone accents. The SHOW is:

Flashes of indigo within the ghezyte beckon from beneath the sterling silver-feathered overlay, though the play of light on the vanes etched into the paler, matte-finished metal are far more distracting. Shards of green abalone are interspersed along the contoured edges of each feather, and the blades of the sickle-shaped accent beads glisten as if sharply honed.

Year 1 - 2017

Verb Modifier First Second Third
COVER (Gosaena Follower Only) Success Taking a deep breath, you place your hand upon (item) and call out to the calm of eternity. A soft breath of air courses past you, tender upon your skin and as light as a flutter of wings. Surety stills your mind and anchors itself at the center of your chest, and you exhale with quiet confidence. N/A (Character) takes a deep breath and places (his/her) hand upon (item). A moment later, (he/she) exhales as (his/her) shoulders relax and (his/her) spine straightens, eyes steady with quiet confidence.
(Gosaena Follower Only) Failure - Not Enough Favor You take a deep breath as you settle your hand upon (item), but it sits heavy in your chest as the (item) remains unresponsive beneath your touch. N/A N/A
(Gosaena Follower Only) Failure - Backlash A virid flare of light catches your eye as it glints off your (item), and an unsettling sense of emptiness reverberates through your chest. N/A N/A
(Gosaena Follower Only) Failure - All Uses Expended for Day Beneath your palm, your (item) remains still, unchanging and unresponsive with neither a sense of judgment or malice, but rather a placid resolution. N/A N/A
KISS N/A Remembrance curls your lips as shades of indigo play across your mind's eye, but a light touch upon your (item) and a shallow breath restores your inner peace. N/A (Character)'s lips curl briefly, and (he/she) seems to unconsciously touch (him/her) (item) as (he/she) takes a shallow breath.
LISTEN N/A Ever so subtly, you cant your head to one side as you recall the tempestuous crash of waves upon a distant shore and the scent of salt and kelp fills your nose. With a fluttering of your eyes, you dismiss the memories and settle your (item) in place. N/A (Character)'s head cants subtly to one side as the scent of salt and kelp trickles by on an errant breeze. As (his/her) eyes flutter, (he/she) moves to settle (his/her) (item) in place.
POINT Success With steady intent and an even gaze leveled on (target), you channel your energy through your (item), petitioning Gosaena to lend her aid to your purpose.

Whispsers rise from the air about you, formless and uncannily uniform in cadence and tone before they are swept up in a whip of wind that coils toward (target). Detritus slashes at (target) in stinging scythes of grit and unmoored voices, a weaponized cacophony that assails (target) in a rush before abruptly ceasing, leaving an uncomfortable dearth of sound.

(Character)'s chin dips as (he/she) levels an even gaze on you.

Whispers rise from the air about (him/her), formless and uncannily uniform in cadence and tone before they are swept up in a whip of wind that coils toward you.

Failure - Backlash A virid flare of light catches your eye as it glints off your (item), and an unsettling sense of emptiness reverberates through your chest. N/A N/A
Failure - Used all daily uses Beneath your palm, your (item) remains still, unchanging and unresponsive with neither a sense of judgment or malice, but rather a placid resolution. N/A N/A
PROD N/A You trace a fingertip along (item), a tactile study of its sickle-shaped accent beads and green abalone-edged feathers. Beneath the silver overlay, indigo shadows churn within the ghezyte, but are quickly banished by a pulse of soft, silvery white light. N/A (Character) traces a fingertip along (item) as if studying its contours by touch. Beneath (his/her) finger, there is a brief pulse of soft, silvery white light.
Changes worn location of the item.
RUB N/A In a meditative gesture, you rub a thumb against your (item), marking the vanes of each feather with the edge of your nail. As if in response, a caress tickles at the back of your hand, fleeting and as light as a sigh. N/A (Character) rubs a thumb against (his/her) (item) in a meditative gesture, and after a moment, (his/her) expression grows still and serene.
TOUCH N/A Beneath your (item), you feel a subtle tremble against your skin and reflexively glance at (item). A coil of indigo slithers across one of the sterling feathers, but as it reaches toward one of the sickle-shaped accent beads, a sliver of silvery white light shears through its length, and it dissipates. N/A (Character) glances abruptly at her (item) as a coil of indigo slithers across one of its sterling feathers.

Year 2 - 2018

Verb First Third
NUDGE You knuckle the sterling silver overlay of feathers on your (item), thoughtfully appreciating the contours as your mind wanders. (Character) knuckles the sterling silver overlay of feathers on (his/her) (item), a thoughtful expression on (his/her) face as a subtle glint of silvery white ignites beneath (his/her) touch.
TICKLE Beneath the thoughtful brush of your fingers, the green abalone at the edges of your (item)'s feathered overlay pulses in a steady rhythm for the span of a heartbeat or two, then fades away. Beneath the brush of (character)'s fingers, the green abalone at the edges of (his/her) (item)'s feathered overlay pulses in a steady rhythm for the span of a heartbeat or two, then fades away.

Year 3 - 2019

Verb First Third
GAZE As you gaze past the sterling silver-feathered overlay of your (item), you notice faint indigo shadows lurking in the ghezyte beneath. A chill streaks down your spine as you become momentarily entranced, but the sensation fades as a spark of silvery white light breaks your stare as it glints off the facets of the silver. (Character) gazes fixedly at (his/her) (item) for several long moments before (he/she) gives an involuntary shiver and blinks several times as a flash of ambient light strikes the facets of the (item)'s overlay.
PRAY With a murmured prayer for the serenity of impartiality in all things, you turn your mind toward the memories of the circumstances which brought (item) to you. As you take and release a breath, you feel a light weight fall across your shoulders like a brush of feathered wings. (Character) murmurs a prayer as her eyes drift to (item). With the taking of a breath, (his/her) shoulders straighten and (his/her) gaze rises.

Year 4 - 2020

Verb First Third
HISS At the fringes of your mind, wisps of indigo color your thoughts for the sheerest of moments before a silvery white calm flashes behind your eyes and banishes all traces. In relief, your breath leaves you in a soft hiss. Indigo veins slither briefly down (character)'s cheeks before (his/her) eyes flare with a silvery white luminescence, and (his/her) breath leaves (him/her) in a soft hiss.
MOCK Insidious threads of contempt wend through your mind for the most scant of moments, teasing a temptation to revel the defeat of the scourge of Caligos, but they quickly unravel and disperse beneath your staid rejection. N/A
