In the bustling world of craftsmanship, the creation of enchanted artifacts often favored weapons and armor. Their surfaces, tempered and enduring, provided a perfect canvas for the intricate magic runes known as sulsik.
However, for those daring enough, there was another path—jewelry.
Though far more difficult to inscribe, success with such pieces commanded exorbitant prices far beyond conventional armaments.
Within the renowned Runewright Workshop, weapons and armor imbued with magic regularly sold for sums between three hundred million and seven hundred million gel.
The average price was typically around five hundred million. Yet, recently, an extraordinary artifact had emerged from their forge, one so exquisite that its price soared to an unparalleled fifteen billion gel.
It was a marvel of craftsmanship and sorcery, drawing admiration and insatiable demand from across the region. Rumors of Runewright's masterwork, an unparalleled shield, echoed throughout the city.
