Meselya is a unique ring of Lanlath design crafted by the renowned guild of Magical smiths known as the Masters of Magnificence. It is the signet of the Great House of Val-Ilaï, a family that was destroyed in the Cataclysm. The ring is a symbol of a prophecy foretelling the emergence of a new heir of the Val-Ilaï family. It is also considered a bearer of bad luck for those who wear it, implying they will meet their end by having it in their possession. The House of Val-Ilaï played a significant role in bringing Ailor trained in warfare to the peaceful valleys of Lathan. After their fall, the fate of the Val-Ilaï descendants remains unclear.

Description
Meselya is a magical ring inscribed with feathered bird wings in faint silver on a darker, iron-toned body. When the bearer writes a letter, Meselya bleeds silver ink that snakes down their finger and flows into their pen, allowing them to write in any color they imagine for as long as they wish. The longer someone stares at them, the wings on Meselya seem to flutter and move like an optical illusion made real, unseen birds flying up and down along the jewelry's edges.
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
- Meselya is thought to reflect the brightest side of the moon, as a blessing from Leyon. At any time the wearer may find themselves in danger, soft windchimes will begin to play, alerting them and any allies of potential doom (Consult DMs for Event use). Additionally, the user both understands and speaks all Elven language.
Sparked Mechanics
- Choose 2 Free Packs from the following Categories: Magic Point Buy, Paladin Point Buy, or Shielding Point Buy.
- Meselya grants the wielder access to Val-Ilaï's Gardens, a pocket sanctuary in Lathan (instance Region) that can be accessed via a magical door created with the Artifact (Contact Staff to move it). The door cannot be opened by any means, only the wielder, anyone they let in, and the Estelley Gods can open the door, no one else can break in without permission. While within the Gardens, they can suspend (not remove, just pause) the effects of any player-applied Curses, including Custom Kit Prized Curses. Curse effects immediately re-activate as soon as the individual exits the Sanctuary.
Sparked Combat Mechanics
- Meselya is covered in winged iconography to honor the Senleya of House Val-Ilaï. When an ally fails a Defense Dice Roll within Emote Range, the wielder can grant that ally a Block Token (after the attack completes). This doesn’t use an action, but can only be used up to three times in a Combat Scene.
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 Meselya 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 Meselya.
