Artifacts
Every world is held together by the objects its people carry.
The seal of an emperor. The mark of a Solarch. The coin a child holds. The banner of a regiment. The standard of a fort chain. The crown of a Crown.
This page will catalogue the objects of Aevrya. The sigils and seals. The coinage and the regalia. The standards of the Spears of Light. The marks of the five Solarchies. The things that make a stranger know whose land they are walking on.
The notes are being assembled. They will appear here in time.
While the catalogue takes shape, The Hollow Rite is on its way.
