AntiquityEdit
This antiquity furnishing can be obtained via the Antiquities system. First, you must obtain the following Antiquity lead:
Icon | Lead | Location | Source(s) | Difficulty | Codex | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lead: Bespoke Mirroretched Base | West Weald |
|
Master | Ugron gro-Thumog | Amalien | Verita Numida | |
The cogs and gears contained inside this base rival anything created by the Dwemer. But the style of the exterior is distinctly Ayleid. It's a conundrum. I need to consult my books and see if the two cultures ever shared their crafting skills. | I've never seen Ugron so grumpy as when I noticed the tiny metal keys hidden beneath the gears. They're aligned for the gears to hit them, but I'm not sure what will happen when they do. We're still missing something. | I haven't seen one of these since I was a child. It's a music box. Amalien was surprisingly astute with the keys, but even her nimble fingers can't get the melody to play. I'm eager to hear whatever ancient song this box contains. | |||||
Lead: Crystalcruft Shaped Trigger | West Weald |
|
Master | Reginus Buca | Gabrielle Benele | Verita Numida | |
Too large to be an earring, too small to be a key. The crystal at the end is clearly worn from touch, and it fits nicely in the hand. This was made to be used and handled, I just don't know what for. | Reginus was right on his second guess. It's a key or trigger of some kind. The teeth at the other end from the crystal certainly make it seem it should lock into place somehow. The Ayleids never cease to surprise me. | Gabrielle is spot-on. It's the trigger for a music box. I had one as a child, and it had the same sort of teeth at the end. The crystalcruft ornament is decorative, probably made to complement the overall design of the music box it came from. | |||||
Lead: Imitation Palanquin Adornment | West Weald |
|
Master | Reginus Buca | Verita Numida | Reginus Buca | |
Now this is truly ancient! First Era, maybe? I can't place what this artefact would be used for. The crescent shape suggests some form of lunar worship, but the material is an unusual metal that's been treated to resemble stone. Very intriguing. | I practically had to pry this out of Reginus's hands. But it was worth it. There are some notches on the back that suggest this item wasn't an object of worship itself, but part of a larger piece. I suspect it may be a sculpture or art piece. | Finally got a chance to examine this again when Verita wasn't looking. Further analysis suggests this is an Ayleid decoration of some kind. It resembles the ornaments we've found on some of their larger remnants, like their palanquins and staffs. | |||||
Lead: Miniature Mirroretched Brace | West Weald |
|
Master | Reginus Buca | Ugron gro-Thumog | Gabrielle Benele | |
I wish my fingers were as clever as whoever carved this! The fine details on this metal brace indicate a level of diligence and attention to detail that even Ugron could appreciate. Looks to be part of something larger, but I'm not sure what. | Reginus wanted me to look at this one. The craftsmanship is apparent, even with age. Looks to me like a miniature carved pillar. It could have something to do with Ayleid tombs or burial customs. More study is needed. | Of course it's miniature, it's a child's toy! Or a novelty item of some sort. Not everything is as serious as Ugron wants it to be. This item broke off at some point long ago. Even so, it would have been an exquisite gift, from all the detail. | |||||
Lead: Miniature Shattered Cheval | West Weald |
|
Master | Verita Numida | Amalien | Amalien | |
Few relics survive the eons unscathed. This mirror is no exception, it's got cracks running all over the surface. Still, it would have been a lovely vanity item for some ancient lady's compact. I wonder when it was broken. | Perhaps the shattering was intentional? A meditation on the perils of vanity and selfishness? There's something about this mirror that doesn't sit right with me. It's cracked, but how have all the pieces stayed together over the years? | I knew it! I couldn't sleep last night and found myself musing over the mirror. The cracks are intentional! When gently manipulated, the shards can slide together to create a smooth reflective surface. Ayleid craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me. |
