    How about...

    This archaic-looking $thing demonstrates the crudeness of early forging technique.

    Or something similar. I checked quickly and didn't see crude in the list above.

    I guess my issue with your wording is a) it explicitly states it's no longer found in modern technique and b) heralds to Seleucar, which holds a bit of romance to it, given its place in history.

    Definitely appreciate the work you're putting in, however.

    @Sarapis, will the Master forger trait be getting a redo? It seems a bit 'archaic' in light of the recent changes:

    Master forger: Reduced balance cost for forging.

    Since forging is now streamlined into one balance, is there something else this could be used for, or would this make the process even quicker? Maybe making coal last longer before the forge dies out?

    Master milker replacement first plz. Something for synthesis. Say reduced mana drain.

    104 means I'm half way done! Time to go to work. I'll get more done then and if I don't finish it tonight I'll wrap up the rest tomorrow. Sorry I'm being so slow :(

    @Tecton or @Sarapis (if he's not passed out drunker than Ironbeard by now): In regards to forging, what determines which descriptor is going to be listed on the final product? The first descriptor I list seems to always come second on the forged item. Is there a way to set which comes first?

    There's some logic behind the scenes based on how we categorize them, assuming it's not bugged. For instance, a regionally-based descriptor (like Ashtani or Theran) will always come second, because "a Theran gleaming longsword" sounds awkward to us vs "a gleaming Theran longsword". If that behind the scenes logic doesn't come into play, then it should just use whatever order you choose. Maybe if you give me specific examples it would help me see if there's a bug or not.

    But... But... Cyrene's accolade is -Gem- of the Vashnars, not Heart! :P (history lesson for today, it was originally Gem of the Vashnars, but everyone says heart for some reason.) :3

    this modifier bears the @Tyamat stamp of approval.
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    What are the tell-tale signs of Evil? That modifier is lovely, except for that section!

    The City of Evil. No of Evil. Still, I was thinking escarbuncle but like I said, I wasn't sure.

    No, it's actually a thing in our city news... any citizen can find it if they look(they don't, though :P) But as one of the many things i had to learn as a younger Warden, it was to find that news post and find that it was the Gem of the Vashnars. :3

    Any better?

    AshtaniThe militaristic nature that this $thing bears is a clear symbol of the Bastion of the North's approach to forging.
    TargossianThe symbols of the Bloodsworn Gods dance across this Dawnspear-styled $thing.
    CyrenianForged in the style of the Heart of the Vashnars, this $thing is as much a work of art as it is a tool.
    HashaniA crown rests front and center on the surface of this $thing to ensure all know it is of the Crown of the Ithmia.
    MhaldorianBearing the tell-tale escarbuncle of the City of Evil, this $thing promises suffering to those that would stand against it.
    EleusianCamouflaged for the wilds and designed with nature motifs, this $thing is Eleusian in style.

    I'm not sure about any Targossian smith forging items that are covered in the symbols of the Bloodsworn Gods. They're generally reserved for Order members, I think.

Tecton, the Terraformer has bestowed His divine favour upon you. It will last for approximately 1 Achaean month.

    @Amarillys‌ For Targossas use something to do with the silver flakes that give the Silverveil its colour perhaps.
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Argent flakes from the Silverveil river have gone into the forging process of this $thing from the Dawnspear.

    I was trying to fit the accolade into the phrase but that is really pretty.... The surface of this Dawnspear inspired $thing shimmers with argent lustre drawn from the Silverveil River.

    My inner Eleusian savage approves of the mention of camouflage for equipment. Personally I've always had a rough time connecting "nature-lover" and "full plate dual-wielding knight", in the case of the Eleusian runewardens. It was tough imagining what that sort of thing could even look like, as generally they're probably seen as quite separate concepts. But after thinking on it I like to think Eleusian knight armor would look almost like the Norn from Guild Wars 2, or something:



    Very "primal", almost tribalistic in design. But that's just me and what I like to imagine.

    So that being said, I definitely like what you've come up with so far, @Amarillys. I think it fits. :D
  • JukilianJukilian
    Are there tribal and camouflage descriptors for forging, @Sarapis? On phone or I'd look.

    Would make @Vesios happy, at least :wink: 
  • VesiosVesios
    If the answer is yes I may have to switch to runewarden will stay druid and totally not be jealous at all. Nope, not at all.

    'Suffering' is a proper noun, heathen. Other than that these look pretty nice. I think Cyrene's should be: Forged in the style of the Heart of the Vashnars, this decorative reproduction of a $thing is truly a work of art, having been decorated with butterfly and cupcake stickers.

    And yeah, I know Suffering as Mhaldorians use it is a proper noun, but considering the blade could be used by others, I figured it'd be best to keep it at suffering. Also, no.
