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 Vishmi'irka quest which caused Elanith to be cloaked in perpetual darkness. A ritual was performed to resolve this quest, but that then caused Elanthia to stop rotating and thus created a new situation of perpetual daylight. A final fix was performed by elven mages to return Elanthia to a proper state and with it came actual day/night mechanics and messaging. The orb is character attuned and able to be worn.

Additional Information
Release
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."

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.

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.
