Codex - Moonstone Ring Bearing

Western Solstice Codex - Moonstone Ring Bearing

• Reginus Buca Duotone Engraved Band Lovely piece, exquisitely carved. Clearly it's the band of a ring. The engraving is hard to make out, but it seems Ayleid in origin. Perhaps Amalien's younger eyes will see something I can't.
• Amalien Duotone Engraved Band I'm always happy to oblige Reginus, and this finding is no different. The engraving is a small phrase of some sort. Something about balance and chaos? Could be part of a religious text, the material is well-worn.
• Verita Numida Duotone Engraved Band It's a spell! A little-known reference in the unabridged Anuad tipped me off. This circular band acts as a foci for larger magical elements, though without those pieces I can't properly verify what the intended effect is.
• Muzah-Tei Gloamium Ring Bearing Finely worked piece. Expert craftsmanship. Ring bearing is smooth as a river stone, made of precious metal that must have been costly on its own. Masterwork of jewelry and design.
• Reginus Buca Gloamium Ring Bearing I don't think this piece is as valuable as Muzah-Tei says it is. There's a strange imperfection in the center of the bearing. No gem or jewel would be able to sit correctly in it. This was an apprentice's first attempt at working with a new material.
• Muzah-Tei Gloamium Ring Bearing Reginus doubts. Indentation similar to those found in First Era Saxhleel pieces. Allows for two stones or gems to nestle side-by-side. Well beyond a novice's skill. Duality was very important in early Anuic and Padomaic sects.
• Amalien Anu Crest I haven't seen a crest like this before. It's archaic, even by High Elf standards. The rigid, repetitive markings seem to suggest a sense of order or being part of a larger pattern. Perhaps it was worn as a boon or good luck token by the Ayleids?
• Reginus Buca Anu Crest It wouldn't have been worn alone. Look at the back, it's meant to be set into a larger piece. I recognize this marking, actually. It was printed on an ancient copy of the Anuad I once came across. The crest is Anu's, denoting protection and order.
• Ugron gro-Thumog Anu Crest Amalien's right. Surviving battle reports from the Ayleids suggest a two-fold stance warriors could take in battle. One defensive, the other offensive. The crest is a a signifier of those who prioritized defense and holding their ground in battle.
• Muzah-Tei Padomay Sigil Excellent condition on sigil, serpent scales individually carved. Great care was taken here. Treasured homage to Sithis? More precious than the last unbroken egg in a clutch.
• Verita Numida Padomay Sigil Muzah-Tei speaks true, but his analysis leaves something to be desired. The sigil is incomplete, suggesting less the unbroken form of Sithis, and more the duality of Anu and Padomay. Could be Altmer in origin.
• Amalien Padomay Sigil Verita's comment got me thinking. Ayleid mythology describes a double-edged fighting form, harnessing order and chaos. This sigil is one half of a warrior's mark! Here, chaos represents recklessly striking down one's enemies on the battlefield.
• Amalien Moonstone Ring Bearing This bearing is so tiny and cute! But it still spins as smoothly as if it was fashioned yesterday. It almost reminds me of the cogs in Dwemer constructs, but it's made purely of stone. Can you imagine the expertise required for such a thing?
• Verita Numida Moonstone Ring Bearing The quality suggests Elven origin, and the material is somewhat reactive to magicka. Could it be enchanted? Or have reacted to enchantments in a larger piece?
• Ugron gro-Thumog Moonstone Ring Bearing Jewelry isn't my strong suit, but this piece is interesting. Some ancient enchanted rings have mechanisms that allow the wearer to rotate a component, often for combat purposes. This gear would allow a mage to quickly adjust to combat mid-battle.
