23.3 Artifacts

Many years ago, a sect of powerful enchanters called the Ankyrean Order discovered a secret power that, among other things, allowed them to create items imbued with magical properties of mythical potency. But the Ankyri grew haughty and jealous, and denied others the use of their powerful creations. Soon, some would say inevitably, the Ankyri were destroyed by their lust for power.                                      

Of the Ankyrean Order, only one survives today: Qeddwyn the Wise. After the destruction of his order, he collected the stores of powerful weapons and other items imbued with the secret power of the Ankyri, and now makes them available to any who have the desire and the means to acquire an Ankyrean artifact. As an Ankyri himself, Qeddwyn also possesses the arcane secrets of imbuing Ankyrean artifacts with additional powers.

Artifacts can be purchased with the artifact purchasing system detailed in HELP ARTIFACT PURCHASES.

Artifact tattoos can be bought from Qeddwyn's shop in Esterport. These will never run out of uses or fade away, nor can they be wiped off. In a room off the Ankyrean artifact shop, WARES will display the tattoos for sale. BUY (tattoo) ON (body part) OF (me) will purchase one.
