There are two craftmarks primarily associated with the soldiers of Calibra; Wikspisk's spiderweb, and the Wayfarer's intertwined rose and orchid. Unlike many items in the game, there is not a line explicitly describing the quality of these items, but rather, it appears as a part of the description, usually in the first line. The range here is "unexceptionally-crafted", "well-crafted", "finely-crafted", "exquisitely-crafted", and "perfectly-crafted".

[edit]
Noctid
This is a finely-crafted circlet made from twisting bands of golden steel. This is a noctid, a circlet forged by the rachnei Wikspisk and enchanted with harmonizing ordered energies. It will help its bearer regenerate spiritual energy in proportion to their favour with the principles of order. It bears the craftmark of Wikspisk, a shadowy figure aligned with Echelos: an image of an intricate spiderweb. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts.
- Circlet, comes in varying sizes and crafts. Can be made from Titanium, Carbonite, Adamantite or other materials.
- Will increase the wearer's Spell point regeneration based on their Order Favour.
[edit]
Dactid
This is a well-crafted right glove cut from golden leather. This is a dactid, a glove designed by the rachnei Wikspisk and enchanted to aid the bearer in melee combat. It will improve its wearer's capability of attacking and deflecting on the hand on which it is worn, in proportion to hir favour with principles of order. It bears the craftmark of Wikspisk, a shadowy figure aligned with Echelos: an image of an intricate spiderweb. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts. It is permeated by a dim golden light.
- Right Glove only, comes in varying sizes and crafts. Can be made from Cotton, Leather, Silk, Spidersilk and probably more.
- Will increase the wearer's combat ratings based on their Order Favour with attacks and defences using the equipped hand.
- Dactids have been known to spawn on the Yathryn bartender, Kajax. (Along with apolekids, kineitids, and noctids)
[edit]
Apolekid
This is a finely-crafted left glove cut from black leather. This is an apolekid, a glove designed by the rachnei Wikspisk and enchanted to aid the bearer in disposing of remains. When it's wearer snaps, the apolekid will attempt to remove nearby remains and use the bearer's favor with principles of order to restore hir metabolic condition. It bears the craftmark of Wikspisk, a shadowy figure aligned with Echelos: an image of an intricate spiderweb. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts. It is permeated by a dim golden light and a dim shimmering radiance. It is in perfect condition. It is intermediate in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It appears to you as if it was crafted for a zenun. It looks about half a dimin across and less than a twentieth of a dimin thick. It weighs very little. You estimate its value at about four hundred thirty gold. You are wearing it.
- Left Glove only, comes in varying sizes and crafts. Can be made from Cotton, Leather, Silk, Spidersilk and probably more.
- When the wearer snaps their fingers, all remains in their vicinity will be converted into ordered energies and absorbed by the wearer, replenishing their metabolism.
[edit]
Kineitid
This is a long, well-crafted cloak woven from golden cotton in such a way as to aid stealth: it is absorbent of light and abnormally still, as though it is resistant to being moved by air currents. This is a kineitid, a cloak woven by the rachnei Wikspisk and enchanted with powerful shielding magicks: the cloak will absorb a certain amount of incoming damage, protecting its bearer with a magickal barrier. This barrier can become depleted, and will recharge itself when the bearer is not absorbing any incoming damage. The rate at which it recharges is determined by its bearer's favor with the forces of order in the universe. It bears the craftmark of Wikspisk, a shadowy figure aligned with Echelos: an image of an intricate spiderweb. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts. It is permeated by a golden light and a shimmering radiance.
- Cloak, comes in varying sizes and crafts. Can be made from Cotton, Leather, Silk, Spidersilk and probably more.
- Grants a damage absorbing shield to the wearer.
- Damage absorbed is capped per instance of damage, and will deplete the Kineited's energy until empty. Kineitid energy will replenish quickly while out of combat.
- Maximum energy capacity is governed by Order Favour.
- Seems to drain Creative energy.
[edit]
Darts
This is a finely-crafted dart made out of golden adamantite. It bears the craftmark of Wikspisk, a shadowy figure aligned with Echelos: an image of an intricate spiderweb. This is one of the "webs" of Wikspisk -- a rachnei assassin with a penchant for projectile weapons capable of quickly debilitating targets. It is said that he enchants his missiles with his own essence. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts.
- Comes in a variety of metals, qualities (from fair to exquisite), thrown weapon types: dart, marble, shuruiken, throwing dagger, throwing knife, twyrali.
- Throw these and they turn into webbing, with a chance to entangle stuff if they don't dodge. However, they're one-use on contact. Once they turn into webbing, they wont' turn back into ammunition.
[edit]
Strata Armours
This is a well-crafted strata left boot forged from red adamantite segments. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. It is constructed out of segments that are layered on top of one another, but not actually touching. They move together as the armour moves, with a very slight delay, as if they were suspended by some sort of field. This is an instance of strata armour, exotic equipment only known to be made on the plane of Echelos, home of the chelones. Each piece is given shape by mathematically precise, mechanical construction processes, and the whole construct is given permanent stratified spatial structure by suspending it within a field of ordered energy. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts. It is permeated by a dim golden light. You estimate its value at about two thousand eight hundred gold.
- Comes in a range of qualities (from fair to exquisite) and a large variety of heavy armour forms, composed of a wide variety of durable metals.
- Will heavily encumber users with no Order Favour. No known bonuses for values of OF beyond 1.
- Strata armor (and wayfarer cannons) are always either violet or red, but I don't know if there is any significance to the color variation.
- There are artifact forms of strata armor; Twinblossom and Astralung.
[edit]
Modrax
This is a finely-crafted plate shivarix forged from golden adamantite. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts. It is of meticulously precise construction, seeming to fit together in an infinitely complex number of interlocking configurations. You recognize this as a modrax, an especially powerful suit of full strata armour enchanted to provide great protection against harm for its wearer.
- These come in similar metal varieties to other strata armours. Notably, unlike individual strata pieces, a modrax's natural quality appears to be fixed at excellent.
- They will change shape and size to fit a wearer with order favour.
- Modraxes will change into many different forms of suit, including shivarixes and hlunthmoks. They will also adjust to accommodate any armor you already wear, if there is a suitable armor form. (i.e. If you are wearing a helm, it will form a bodysuit. If you have bracers & greaves it will form a hauberk or halfsuit)
- Must "press modrax's button" to make it change shape
[edit]
Wayfarer Cannons
This is a finely-crafted staff composed out of interlocking pieces of red adamantite. The weapon has an unusual style: its edges and form seem inspired by something between a machine and an insect. A thin line of faint golden light seeps from the gaps in the pieces around above the grip. There is a small copper switch on the middle of the haft. It bears the craftmark of the Wayfarer, the mastersmith aviar of Echelos: an engraved image of a rose entwined with an orchid. This is one of the Wayfarer's cannon, a melee weapon imbued with a eideturgic engine that enable a wielder properly aligned with ordered forces to fire blasts of energy. You recognize this as an armament used by the soldiers of Calibra, the warrior city of Echelos, who make judicious use of strata armours, energy weapons, and more esoteric order-imbued artifacts.
- Comes in a variety of metals, qualities (from fair to exquisite and extraordinarily rarely unearthly), and weapon types: axe, baton, dagger, morning star, staff, spear, bastard/long/short sword, warhammer.
- Must "flip switch on" to activate. Switches come in copper, silver, and gold, and I've heard the fancier the material the better the discharge, though I'm unsure of how true this is.
- I think OF=Cost and Switch=Frequency (or vice versa), someone should confirm.
- Once active, will periodically shoot blasts from the weapon based on your Order Favour. You must have higher Order Favour than Chaos Favour or else it will not shoot blasts.
- They can occasionally load with a descriptive line about wand hooks. Putting a wand on the weapon will drain charges from the wand to change the discharges to the that damage type.
- Damage-Type doesn't totally change, it always has X+Order, so if wand does Acid discharge will do Acid+Order
- Edgewild, Pathfinder, Peacemaker, and Starburner are all artifact cannons.
