Standing about two hands in length, the delicate taper of eternity (short name: taper) allows letters, when used in conjunction with the signet ring artefact, to be sealed with one's personal arms in a wide variety of colours. It is essentially a never-ending candle of sealing wax that can be purchased from Merentesh's shop in Delos, or acquired as part of a talisman set.
Beautifully pearlescent, this taper glows brightly with an ephemeral sheen that penetrates even the thickest fog. Unwavering in lambency as it twists from base to tip, the shaft of the taper is decorated with countless, delicately engraved ivy leaves replicated in painstaking detail.
