Wyld Artifacts

The artifacts of the Fair Folk are not like those of creation. Creatures of dream, oaths taken form, and powerful spells take on physical form and are wielded to great effect.

Glamour Sorcery (Cup Artifacts)

The fae practise subtle magic’s of deception and illusion known as glamour sorcery. Though capable of achieving similar effects as the sorcery of the creation-born exalted its nature is very different. The sorceries of the fae do not draw upon the essence of creation rather they are patterns crafted from the gossamer the raw stuff of dreams. This makes them living creatures somewhat like lesser reflections of the Raksha themselves. As such the sorcerers of the fae must tend their magic’s as one would favoured pets lest these works of power become discontent and turn on their would be masters.

Wyld Artifacts (Ring Artifacts)

Some artifacts are created with gossamer as their main component. Ring-shaping weapons, they are the closest that the artifacts of the Fair Folk are capable of coming to the standarized artifacts of Creation.

• Dream-Of-War - A powerful Wyld Warstrider (Artifact 5)
• Freedom's Revel (Artifact 3)

Adjurations (a.k.a. Oaths), (Staff Artifacts)

Definition has power, despite its constricting nature. As a result there are Raksha who bind themselves to oaths so that by giving themselves a little more structure, they give themselves more power.

That only describes oaths of the Ring and Staff. The definition I usually give, when explaining adjurations to players, is that an adjuration is an oath so powerful that it has a rudimentary consciousness of its own. The goal of that consciousness is to convince other beings to swear the oath, so it bribes them with kewl powerz.--MF

Comments

So, as a part of the UserFriendlyCategories thing, I started adding old Wyld Artifacts that weren't originally linked to on the page *couCaelenegh*, and discovered that we had, instead of just a few, small hoards of the things. And very cool ones, at that. Anyway, I've created this page as a Wyld Artifact repository, so go ahead and take a look. :) - FrivYeti

Ooh, shiny. Thanks for moving my stuff, and sorry for being all annoying and mingling my Wyld artifacts with the boring old Creation-made ones. >:3 - Caelene

You, my good man, are awesome. And by awesome I mean totally sweet. -RakshaBoy

Added the Cauldron Toad to Behemoths, I'm experimenting with utility Behemoths instead of the regular fighty variety - Vaegrim
