 ;a [[mahogany hand vice]] - 3mc : This robust hand tool possesses a functional elegance. A pair of thick, steel jaws wrap about a central unit of metal, clamped into place with a heavy spindle that penetrates each block through the centre. Finely corrugated, the edges of each jaw ensure a solid grip, whilst a smoothly moulded prism allows any obscure shape to be conquered. Held secure via thick bolts, a dark mahogany handle extends from the metal tool, the rich wood thickly varnished and buffed to a high shine.
 ;a [[drop of Yen-Sorte's blood]] - 7mc : Shed by the peerless Aldar armsmaster Yen-Sorte in the War of Humanity, time and providence have preserved this droplet of blood perfectly. Glimmering a deep, rich crimson in the light, the blood is crystalised, resembling a priceless teardrop ruby. Its surface is smooth and slightly warm to the touch, without facet or flaw, and it refracts the ambient light perfectly, surrounding itself in a soft halo of diffused claret radiance.
+== Eggs ==
+If possible, I'd like to expand the Eggs section to include what types of birds were hatched in what types of braziers from what types of eggs. There should be twelve (three per egg type), and am thinking a nice, fractal-like table or listing to display them all, though descriptions may have to be omitted for this type of design.
+I currently own three myself, which I can offer descriptions of right off:
+;a mahogany swallow - wood egg, mahogany brazier : Dark but vibrant, the majority of this small bird's body is carved from a single piece of rich mahogany wood. Bright eyes and delicate feathers display themselves in exquisite detail, from a short beak to the sweeping double-points of his tail. On the underside of the bird, a lighter, golden mahogany covers his throat and spreads seamlessly to the front of his wings then across his belly. Two smaller spots of the same pale wood decorate the bottom of his tail feathers.
+;an onyx teal - stone egg, onyx brazier : Beyond its slightly darker colour, every detail of this teal is carved with perfect precision and matches the genuine counterpart to the last. The pieces of onyx are surprisingly thin near the lower portions of the tail and wings, so that the stone is nearly as delicate as actual feathers, if far heavier and rigid. Where hinges are required to allow the feet and head, as well as other various parts of the duck to move, they are carved from the onyx itself, with no sign of other materials to be found. Beads of sardonyx are set in place for the eyes of the teal, with smaller pieces of onyx affixed atop them to serve as pupils.
+;an emerald hummingbird - gem egg, emerald brazier : Each tiny detail cut to absolute perfection, this small bird is crafted from pure emerald. The viridian gemstone sparkles and shines in even the dimmest of lights, and its purity gives it a translucent quality. The tiny pieces of the hummingbird are all moveable, with no foreign materials to be seen. Even the vanes of the minuscule feathers are etched into the gemstone, a final touch that makes the avian that much more lifelike.
