 Please make a chart in the same manner Merentesh's other artefact shops are done (for instance, [[The Miscellaneous Artefact Shop]]). For artefacts, they are important enough that each one will eventually get its own page, not just a description on a wares list. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 04:19, 2 April 2008 (GMT)

 ;a [[stardust flask]] - 10mc : Approximately four inches tall, this flask takes the shape of a six-pointed star. Masterfully crafted from transparent glass, the vessel is completely void of faults or flaws, allowing a completely unobstructed view of the shimmering contents inside. Iridescent swirls of fine, coloured dust fill the branches of the star, shifting in hue as the light strikes at different angles. A small stone as black as the night sky occupies the centre of the flask, its shape perfectly matching the centre of the glass.
 ;a [[badge of returning]] - 5mc : Fashioned from platinum and polished to a bright sheen, this badge is crafted of two interlocking pieces. The inner section is engraved with an equine figure, and has been attached in such a fashion that it can be spun on its axis, creating the illusion that the figure is running in place within the larger, outer piece. Runes in ancient Aldar have been engraved around the rim of the badge and inlaid with gold.
-;a [[Veil of Libertine]] - 2mc : Hanging from a simple silver band which encircles the brow, a mesh of fine silk threads forms a net to partially obscure the wearer's features. Though close examination shows the filaments to be black as coal, the smallest movement makes them shimmer with a variegated iridescence bordering on the ethereal. Tiny glass beads with the same intangible coruscation weigh down the bottom edge of the shroud.

 ;a [[stone flowerpot]] - 5mc : This flowerpot is simply crafted, its squared shape carved from a single block of dark, heavy stone. The soil within is rich but also rocky, scattered with small white pebbles that form a stark contrast with the ebon dirt.
 ;a [[plump, incandescent pillow]] - 5mc : Possessing no sense of solidity, inexplicably thin threads of silk coalesce into a delicate, plump pillow. Glittering tendrils of vapour twist and twirl within the translucent fabric, the smooth, individual movements entwining into a soothing dance that lulls the mind with its hypnotism. With each subtle shift, the vapour erupts in a burst of effulgent light, casting an eternal, flickering glimmer.
 ;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.
