TRINKETS: ITEMS OF SPECIAL POWER AND ENCHANTMENT
Trinkets (sometimes referred to as artifacts) are special items that can be purchased from the "Old Curiosity Shops" dotted throughout the land. They are items of great worth, invariably possessing one or many special powers that can be evoked when held in one's inventory or worn about one's person. Each curiosity shop consists of three locations: the yard, the main location and the bijou chamber. The yard sells the cheapest everyday trinkets, the main location covers the middle range and the bijou chamber sells the most expensive, singular artifacts.
The trinkets when purchased are stamped immediately with the mark of their new owner. Trinkets can only be used by the rightful owner. They cannot be stolen or lost for any protracted period as the ownership stamp defines where the trinket remains placed and so even if destroyed (in the moment) or somehow wrested away from the owner, the trinket will soon rematerialise in the inventory of its purchaser.This unique stamp will ensure that they will reset regularly into the rightful owner's inventory, preventing them from being stolen or loaned out for very long. The seraphim and not the cherub has charge of this responsibility.
Syntax: TRINKETS.
Shows you the current inventory of trinkets officially listed against your name, alongside a short description, the base trinket (if any) and their current lifespan (and default longevity).
Most trinkets have a specific lifespan but older trinkets or those without a set lifespan will default to 4 RL years. Trinkets with a special purpose or effect, like those capable of creating personalised new areas (e..g. the star-sapphire orb) will also have a lifespan but their creations do not. These become permanent additions to the land.
Related help-files: See HELP SHOPPING for how to use the Curiosity Shop to buy goods and serivces for your character. Purchases are all made in Avalon crowns, as per HELP CROWNS. You will need to have a payment method registered with Avalon's secure server as per HELP PAYMENT or be holding sufficient crowns about your person to cover any trinket purchase.
See TRINKET LIST for a quick rundown of the trinkets available and their base price and lifespan. Popularity is based on enquiries and interest in a particular trinket.
