A new Artifact Auction has been opened, with numerous unique and
powerful items for your perusal! This auction includes sixteen items
that can be purchased with Credits, and five items which are available
for gold purchase. As always, read over HELP AUCTIONS for information on
how auctions work, and how you can place a bid. This auction will run
until the end of the 15th of November, so get in your bids!

Credit Items
-------------------------------------------------------

1. Belakai's Terrarium
Gone but never forgotten, Belakai was acclaimed for his green thumb as
much as for his hatred of dwarves. Own a piece of history with Belakai's
very own terrarium! This portable plot will yield up to 100 herbs of
your choosing every Aetolian month, so youll never need to run around
searching for moss, bloodroot, or goldenseal again!

2. The Organ Locker
We're not quite sure where it came from, nor quite how it works, but
this bloody locker was found in the back of the Celani broom closet,
stinking like you wouldn't believe. The owner gets the privilege (?) of
extracting up to 100 organs every month from within the Locker, so its
perfect for the pacifistic people-eaters out there.

3. A Thrim Flute
Nothing cures or causes a headache quite like a thrim to the cranium.
Relive the golden days of Kerrithrim's invasion with this marvelous
instrument. Once a year, the owner can summon a swarm of thrim to
whatever area they find themselves in simply by playing this flute. The
rest of the year, the flute will provide an instant remedy to thrim
infestation!

4. A Merchant's Logbook
Lost are the days of the Merchant Princes of Old, gathering herbs and
forging arms and taking up all manner of professions to serve the
populace by lightening their packs and kitbags of clunky sovereigns.
Relive those innocent times with the Merchants Logbook! Though youll
still only be able to hold one Mercantile skill at a time, the Logbook
allows you to switch between each, once per hour, while only ever having
to invest lessons into one! Guaranteed to become more valuable with
time!

5. A Roaming Home Deed
Miss the magical floating guildhall of the Magi? Based on years of angry
messages, I know at least some of you do! Get a taste of that freedom
once again in the comfort of your own private abode with this Roaming
Home Deed! Select up to four locations throughout the world, and your
home will wander from one to the next, as per your own specifications!
Restrictions may apply, locations must be approved by Galleus. Expansion
prices are based on the "village" location type. Comes with one room to
start.

6/7. A Wand of Eldlore (2)
The eld can be tough cookies to crack, but what glorious ylem when you
get to that gooey center! If you want a keepsake of your battles, this
wand is for you. Manage to slay an Eld using this wand (it's weak, I'll
tell you that) and its image will be transformed into a collectible
figurine for your enjoyment!

8. A Bottomless Vial
This vial may be filled with any elixir or serum, and will never run
out.

9. A Set of Inking Tools
These inking tools allow the user to ink tattoos with double the uses,
and never requires any ink in order to do so.

10. The Elindes Talisman
This talisman has 6 petals upon it which may be plucked at any time, and
each petal, when consumed, will restore the health, mana, blood,
endurance, and willpower of the owner. If consumed by anyone else, the
petals will restore only the endurance and willpower of that person. The
petals regrow at a rate of one per month.

11. A Personal Butler
Own a home? Okay. Own a butler? Didn't think so! And I wasn't talking to
you, Alexina! Be cool like Alexina and enjoy the benefits of a butler in
the comfort of your home. Combine with the Roaming Home Contract for the
ultimate in convenience!

12. A Market Stall Construction Kit
A perennial favorite, the market stall construction kit is a portable
shopfront from which the owner can sell his or her wares without
limitation. Note that the shopfront can only be set up in those rooms
where an IN exit is available.

13. A Prayer Book
With the prayer book, one may resurrect anyone within the local area who
has died once per day.

14. An Orb of Nullification
This orb will prevent any actions against you which attempt to directly
force you to perform unintended acts.

15. An Eelskin Cloak
Wearing this cloak can be truly electrifying! When worn about your
person, any attacks that fall upon your magical shield (as generated by
a shield tattoo) will result in the attacker getting shocked with
electrical damage equal to 2% of their maximum health.

16. A Torc of Hyperception
The wearer of this torc will be so attuned to his local surroundings
that, when using the PERCEIVE ability in survival, they will receive an
overview of every grove, tent, den, and mark within the area.

Gold Items
-------------------------------------------------------

1. A Pet Token
This token entitles the owner to one pet, as per HELP PETS, and includes
the full package normally valued at 900 Credits.

2. A Clay Flowerpot
Grow up to six flowers in this pot, or eighteen if you have the
Floristry talent! Every day, you will have a 1 in 3 chance of receiving
a new flower for every empty slot left in your pot.

3. An Iosai Lyre
Create a prismatic barrier about yourself that will defend against many,
BUT NOT ALL, attacks.

4. A Hood of Elusion
Hides you from nearly all mortal abilities that reveal your location.
Only the owner of a Hood of Elusion will be able to locate you with
one-time abilities, such as sense. Continuous tracking abilities will
still find you.

5. A House Deed
This deed entitles the owner to a house of their own in any location,
with 10 total rooms. The house may be added to as normal thereafter.


Please note: Artifacts purchased at auction have NO tradein value.


Penned by my hand on the 16th of Khepary, in the year 346 MA.
