I'm pleased to announce that, for the next week, Imperian will be holding an auction. We will have a number of powerful and rare items being auctioned off for credits, and a number of normal artifacts being auctioned off for gold.

Items for credits:

2 Custom Portal Wings
- This item will let you have your own, personal wings-like portal
room, with a customised item, command word, and exits.
- You will be able to choose 11 custom exits to any normal room in
Imperian, with the exception of cities, townes, guildhalls, etc.
These exits cannot be changed. All of them do not have to be
chosen immediately.
- The down exit will automatically be set to go to the portals room
accessed by the Orphanim Angel Wings.
- Due to the custom coding required for this, and the fact that
these wings are functionally more valuable than the Seraphim Angel
Wings, the starting bid will be 2000 credits.
- These will be auctioned as a token. If you are the winner, please
contact Dranor to redeem your token.

3 Artifact Pets
- This pets can be completely customised (within reason), but must
be described as a semi-normal animal. A black panther or a bear
is fine. A dragon or pegasus is not.
- One of these pets will be able to fly. The other two will not be
flying mounts.
- This pet will allow for 10 skill slots, and is the only way that
any pet can have the combination of the mount and track abilities.
- Due to the custom work required for this, the starting bid will
be 500 credits.
- These will also be auctioned as a tokens.

A Feathered Armlet
- This ability will let you use the arrowcatching defence, which
gives you a 33% chance to catch any arrows fired at you. This
defence has a slight mana drain associated with it.

Acrobatic Boots
- These boots let you use the abilities of kipup, frontflip,
and backflip.

A Sparkling Lattice
- This is a more powerful version of the Alchemy shimmering lattice,
which only decreases the chance of a surge affecting you. The
sparkling lattice guarantees that you will never be affected by
a magickal surge while you are holding it.

3 Phantasmic Diadems
- Lets you choose a custom enter, exit, and room description. These
messages can be configured as often as you want with the CONFIG
command. They will require God approval before they will be set
to you. You can even remove the direction that you move in from
your enter/exit messages, allowing you to confound your enemies.

Raksha Band

room and instantly return to it.

Pipe Filter Set

into 20 health.

Information about the auction syntax is available in HELP AUCTION. To
view the items up for auction, go to any auction house and do WARES
ARTIFACT.

This auction will last for approximately 7 days. It's difficult to say
exactly when the bids will close, as last minute bids will extend the
life of the auction.

For items auctioned for credits, you do not need to have the credits for
your bid at the time that you make your bid. You will have seven days
after the conclusion of the auction to obtain the credits, bound to the
character that placed the bid. If you do not have the credits after the
seven days have passed, you will be shrubbed and will not be allowed to
play Imperian. Serious bids only!

For items auctioned for gold, you do need to have the gold in hand at
the time that you place your bid. The gold will be taken and will
temporarily be placed in escrow. If you are outbid, the gold will
automatically be refunded to you by letter.

Anybody who places other items up for auction with the intent of confusing
other people or interfering with the existing auction will be removed from
the game.

If you have any questions about the auction, or any of the items being
auctioned, feel free to contact me.
