Narselendis is the golden calcified cobra fang of Narsil, the Marken-Archon pet guard of Arch Chancellor Morgan Kade. After Narsil's death, his fangs were preserved, and one of them turned into a weapon with the ability to reveal poison in liquids. It changed hands multiple times before disappearing in Regalia when its last owner was killed. The name Narselendis combines Narsil and Elendis, meaning "exile" in Old Anglian.

Description

Narselendis is a Unionist God Magic Artifact. It is an extracted, calcified cobra fang from Narsil that has been encased in gold.

Artifact Mechanics

Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics, and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general. For more information on Artifactsparks, read the Resources Page. For Rules on Artifact ownership, see the Artifacts Page.

Permanent Mechanics

Narsilendis grants the user the ability to use Marken Transformation without being a Marken, the ability to speak in normal language while in Marken form, and their Marken form can be of any type of animal not just the traditional Marken types. Even if the user is already a Marken, these effects are extended to them (and their appearance can also change). Additionally, Narsil's master was a lover of all things, and Narsilendis allows its user to Syncretize with an infinite amount of Religions and be considered faithful to any number of Gods (though the faithful may still choose to reject them).

Sparked Mechanics

Narsilendis's user gains Urlan Mechanics 2, and 5. These Mechanics are only active while Narsilendis has an Artifactspark in it.
Narsilendis grants the user the Safeguard Pack for free. This Pack is only active while Narsilendis has an Artifactspark in it.

Sparked Combat Mechanics

Sangria's wielder can choose 3 Free Packs from the following Categories: Paladin Point Buy, Melee Point Buy, or Training Point Buy.
Narsilendis holds a bite for those who put Narsil to death. Narsilendis grants the wielder +2 Attack Stat (breaking Cap up to 11) while using Attack Emotes on Knights. Additionally, even when not attacking Characters of these types, the wielder's Attack Dice Roll Minimum is set to 4.

Collectible Artifact

Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time. Collectibles may be traded away by their owner if they are unable to use the Permanent Mechanic due to the use limitation. To summarize this Artifact's Collectible properties:

Marty Will Fill This In
The UNIQUE NAME Collectible inherits the Permanent Mechanic of Narsilendis but can only be used by MARTY/ALEX FILL IN. While there are several UNIQUE NAME, each looks unique, though should be inspired by the appearance of Narsilendis.

-Not strictly a weapon, but not strictly a non-combat object either, Narselendis is the golden calcified cobra fang of Narsil (about the size of a grown man's forearm), the [[Marken]]-[[Archon]]-pet-guard of Arch Chancellor [[Morgan Kade]]. Narsil was executed immediately after Morgan was overthrown and could no longer protect him. The courtiers at the Palace were in fear and disgust of Narsil, as he was a Marken that never spoke but permanently appeared in a wide-framed cobra form, scales painted gold. After Narsil's death, his fangs were preserved, along with several of his bones that were put on display in the Imperial Palace. When the Guided Unionists declared him a God-Guide, the bones were stored in the palace archive to avoid offending them for having his bones on public display as some curiosity. In the curating of his bones however, it was discovered that one of his fangs had been broken off the display, and taken, perhaps years prior. How Narsil's fang turned into a weapon or object of artifact power is unclear, though scholars speculate it lends credence to the Guided Unionist theories that divinity is also present in other entities outside of Dogmatic Unionist views. Narselendis fell into the hands of obscure nobles, where it would quickly acquire micro-fame for its primary useful property: revealing poison or harmful substances in liquids. Narselendis would skip ownership multiple times before disappearing somewhere in Regalia when the last baron who owned it was killed in a way that Narselendis could not protect him from: an arrow to the neck. The name Narselendis is a compound term that combines the name Narsil, and Elendis meaning "exile" in Old-Anglian.
