weight: 1 1/9 lb

A brilliant-cut diamond, apparently flawless.  Upon closer inspection, however, it is apparent that a design has been etched into the top surface, but not coloured in any way.

item_name: mobius strap
weight: 1/9 lb
description:
This is a mind-bending, paradoxical strip of leather that's been twisted once before being riveted back to itself.  Well, all right - it's not actually all that paradoxical.  It doesn't look like it would work as a scabbard for anything conventional, though.

weight: 5/9 lb
description:

weight: 3 8/9 lb
description:
Swirling deep inside this staff are clouds of white and wisps of icy fogs.

weight: 2lb
description:
Grown from petrified trees located as far from the hub as possible, this staff looms with presence.  Along the outside surface of the staff delicate runes have been carved and whittled into being.

The foot of this majestic staff has been fashioned to resemble the claw of an owl, while the head continues to grow like seven-plus-one elongated fingers which grip a strange bronze cube.  It radiates pure octarine brilliance.

item_name: wrought iron staff
weight: 12 2/9 lb
description:
Starting from the spike-tipped foot, eight ribbons of wrought iron gently swirl upwards.  Seemingly, nothing holds these ribbons together as nothing is in the centre of this supposed staff.  The whips of iron rush up to form a type of filigreed cage around a strange, blood-red bauble which composes what would be called the head of this staff.  The opaque bauble was polished to a completely matte finish and seems to absorb any light focused on it or that light which merely happens to be passing.  The caged orb spins fiercely while mirroring images of people and events around the Disc.

appraise_text:
The wrought iron staff is about seven feet long and about six inches wide.  It is made of iron and could be used as a weapon of type polearm.

For this pen to be made, three things had to be cut or dismantled.  First, a piece of beige holly, which forms the length of the pen.  Second, some Klatchian ebony, to make the decorative rings around the curious midsection, elegantly contrasting the pale holly.  And third, an old pocket watch, for its tiny brass gears.  The gears were then bent to match the curvature of the pen and inlaid in its midsection.  While this prevents them from telling time, now they catch the light and twinkle under the polish as the diligent penman works.  The pen features a firm italic nib, used for writing in italics.  It is clean and dry.

appraise_text:
The holly clockwork pen is about six inches long and about an inch wide.  It is made of wood and could be used as a weapon of type misc.


item_name: ancient kauri pen
weight: 16 g
description:
Ancient kauri is a type of wood found only in the swamps of Howondaland, where it is presumed to have been buried for thousands of years.  Now it has been excavated and turned into this straight pen.  The conditions of the swamp have preserved the wood perfectly, while adding a glimmer to the grain as it catches the light.  Perhaps the words written down with it will find it easier to enlighten the reader.  It features a crisp italic nib, making it suitable for writing in chancery hand.  It is clean and dry.

appraise_text:
The ancient kauri pen is about nine inches long and about an inch wide.  It is made of wood and could be used as a weapon of type misc.


item_name: buckeye burl oblique pen
weight: 16 g
description:
Most of this pen has been made from a single piece of buckeye burl.  While buckeye is normally yellow, this piece of burl came out in shades of grey so dark it often seems black.  The tail is a straight piece of black walnut ending in an elegant finial to offset the weight of the burl.  On the widened part where the pen rests between the thumb and the index finger, a single spot of brown forms a circle around the black, reminiscent of the eye of the storm watching you as you write.  It has been fitted with a semi flexible pointed nib, used for writing in ladies' hand.  It is clean and dry.

item_name: longtail oblique pen
weight: 14 g
description:
This work of art looks more like a wizard's wand than a pen.  Its foot is made of ivory-white holly, separated by a black and a white accent ring from the midsection.  The midsection is made of burl, which gives it a natural complexity of swirling patterns in shades of pale, reddish and dark brown.  Three more accent rings continue the white-black-white pattern before the warm brown tail.  The tail is long and thin, leaving you no choice but to treat the pen delicately, lest you snap it.  It features a flexible pointed nib, attached at an angle to ease slanted writing, used for writing in ornamental script.  It is clean and dry.

item_name: fur-lined leather cap with earflaps
weight: 2lb
description:

weight: 2/9 lb
description:
This is a pair of seaboots any smuggler would be proud to wear.  The leather of its body is sourced from the exotic and highly dangerous sea serpent, whose hide tans to a lovely deep russet once you've gotten all the scales off.  One of these scales, diamond-shaped and hard as steel but a quarter the weight, caps the toe of the boot.  The subtle scent of sea salt hangs about it like a memory, while its slight heel gives its wearer a certain nautical swagger to their walk.  Just from looking at it, you can tell it costs a fortune.

Warm, durable and waterproof, this coat is fashioned from gloriously smooth silk that whispers as it moves with mother-of-pearl buttons that glimmer in the light.  It's dyed black, as is customary for smugglers, but a grand shade of black that looks like it has all the other colours woven into it.  The subtle scent of sea salt hangs about it like a memory, while its abundance of hidden pockets does nothing to stop it from billowing dramatically about the wearer at the slightest hint of a breeze.

item_name: navigator's sextant
weight: 3/9 lb
description:
This little nautical instrument is commonly used for finding one's location at sea.

item_name: highly illegal greatsword
weight: 4 4/9 lb
description:
This greatsword exudes an aura of lawlessness.  Perhaps it's the incredible size that makes it hardly fit through doorways (against city regulations, surely) or the serrated edge designed to cleave through armour and tear flesh (no doubt banned by weapon treaties).  It might be the way the blade is blackened for what semblance of stealth one can achieve with a massive greatsword (simply suspicious!), or the grinning skull on the pommel surrounded by a profusion of spikes (no sword that looks like that could be up to anything good).  Regardless, it looks just like the kind of greatsword a thief would wield if thieves wielded greatswords.

item_name: [colour] vintage sari
weight: 1 1/9 lb
description:
A common style amongst Bharatri families in Klatch, a proper sari is a long length of unhemmed cloth, draped and pleated to form a garment.  Each region, and often each family, has its own particular style of drapery.  This particular sari is draped in the 'Quirmian' style, which is to say that it's been stitched into place so that an unskilled wearer can wriggle their way in.  The bright pink fabric is a genuine Klatchian design, though, with heavy gold thread work along the selvedges and a matching bodice.

item_name: leather shield belt
weight: 6/9 lb
description:
This is a wide leather belt with a solid brass buckle and two prongs over each hip.  Initially invented to hold tankards of mead for the warrior's respite during time-outs in battle, the prongs were repurposed to hold small shields after no one could satisfyingly address the spilling issue.

item_name: three star shield
weight: 11lb
description:
This is a impressively unique type of shield which is often used by elite warriors.  Constructed of three-pointed, overlapping, star-shaped plates which have been fastened to the frame at the outside of each point, this brand of shield would be very tedious to construct.  The continuous overlap of the plates makes the shield very stiff and able to absorb hard blows.

weight: 5 5/9 lb
description:
This is essentially a six-foot long hollow steel bar with a hexagonal cross-section to reduce the weight even further.

This shield is diamond-shaped and formed from bronze, thickly lacquered in a complex and intricate cloud design.  A humble Agatean home sits in the middle of the design, a peasant farmer tending his garden outside, whilst a Rain Dragon curls and loops intricately around the border of the shield and sends his life-giving moisture down upon the plants.

item_name: dao guard
weight: 6/9 lb
description:
The dao scabbard is not constructed like typical belt scabbards.  Although it has a leather belt which encircles the waist, the extra width at the tip of the dao only allows the guard for the blade to be one-sided.  As a result, when sheathed, the dao is covered on one side by a thin steel guard which offers the protection of soft suede on the inside.  The hilt is held firmly in place by a strap at the top.  It could sheathe a dao.

item_name: holy water sprinkler
weight: 5 lb
description:
Despite its name, there is little holy about this conceptually simple but lethally efficient tool of sudden and extremely messy death (at least in the correct hands).  An insufficiently trained user, however, can stand a good chance of losing bodily organs, limbs, or the ability to breathe if the three elegantly balanced spiked balls attached to the sturdy oak hilt somehow manage to tangle their chains.

They look perfectly suited to causing damage through even the strongest of armour.  Most of the handle has had a regular pattern of diamond-shaped indentations pressed into it and should provide a solid grip for the wielder.

weight: 2 5/9 lb
description:
This is a long ribbon of clear water that, somehow, follows the movement of the handle it's attached to like a whip blown from glass.  Unlike a whip, however, its transparency makes it harder to avoid and the way it passes through itself without getting tangled allows for unexpected attacks from odd angles.

The other side is a war axe, to deal with the sometimes very unreasonable people who own the land with the interesting minerals in it.

item_name: throwing star

item_name: kodachi
weight: 2 6/9 lb
description:
The kodachi is a very short sword, about the size of a rolled-up newspaper or a long truncheon.

item_name: cerulean bathing suit
weight: 3/9 lb
description:

special_find_note: From a locked safe in DJB.
description:
A long, sharp, double sided crystal blue blade extends from a darker, less vibrant blue hand guard and a handle which is wrapped in an even deeper blue grip, to form a spectacular, yet formidable double handed sword.  With an almost clear lightly blue stone set into the pommel and two more, smaller, yet equally clear lightly blue stones set into the ends of the hand guard, this sword is clearly both a decorative and well serving blade, one which wouldn't look too bad augmented with the blood of a fallen foe covering it.

weight: 4 6/9 lb
description:
This is a ceremonial rod used to maintain order during religious functions, serving as both a symbol of its wielder's authority and a heavy stick with which to hit especially unruly followers about the head.  The shaft appears to have been eaten away by industrious polyps, with several sections of its salt-stained ironwood having been replaced with pale yellow coral forming complex geometric patterns all the way down its length.  At the top of the rod is a hefty and rather pointy lump of coral that looks like it was just broken off a reef, turning it into an unusual warhammer of a sort.  It looks like it could hold two rituals in its coral section and ironwood section.  The coral section is empty and is linked to the ironwood section.  The ironwood section is empty and is not dependent on any other part of the coral-etched verge.

weight: 1 3/9 lb
description:
A long-bladed dagger, the aikuchi is very similar in most respects to the traditional tanto.  It differs mainly in its lack of a hand guard at the top of the hilt, which the tanto offers to prevent the hand from slipping forward onto the blade.
