Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)
I figured I would post all of the translated Wonders here for easy reference.
Armor
When it came to crafting magical armor, there was no one more skilled at crafting it than Mistrallena and that is why I went to her when I realized that some kind of armor would be needed. Her armors were legendary even before I met her, though few people new that it was she who had crafted them. After explaining to her my sketchy vision, she crafted Steelheart. After the villagers of Torbel made a tomb for the Warlord Kaballah Kabar upon his death, I thought that would be an excellent place to hide Mistrallena’s Armor.
Shield
Not even the Dwarves would dare cast and craft a magical item from celebur, yet that is precisely what Torgon the Red did for me. Not at my request, but because it was necessary. Only celebur could hold the magics that would be needed. It took him 55 days to create Bastion. How long will it take you to find it at the Misty Waterfall?
Sword
As I was contemplating what would be needed to stop the Great Destruction, I was unexpectedly contacted by Kotokazei. The wizard offered to craft a magical sword that he wound up calling Frostfire. Did he, too, have some sort of vision of the destruction to come? Or did word leak out that I would need these things? When Teljin the Ranger found the ruins of Kraal Kagarraak, that seemed like the perfect place to hide the sword.
Ring
One would not expect a mistress of the sword to craft a magical ring, let alone one so powerful, and that is precisely why, I, Esmeralda, have requested such from my friend and mage Ravenmane. Seek Shadora and ye shall find it at The Rock.
Wand
Of all the Wonders that we created—me and the other wizards, this is my favorite. Thendara Winterhawk and I had such fun crafting the Wand we called Winterchill out of Blue Ice itself. She did most of the crafting; I only helped a little bit, but, oh, what fun we had! At one point, I felt there were too many places to hide it to keep it safe until the day, but, one by one, I was able to see which places would still be here when the time came. And so, I placed Winterchill in the Field of Dreams.
Staff
If Mysterion could only be crafted in the purple flame, who better to craft it than the Wizard of the Purple Flame himself. To hide it away and keep it safe until the Time, this ten-metal staff was secreted in the Spire of the Moon.
Medallion
What man hath wrought, only the gods may sunder. So sayeth I, Thermavox the Great, for I have made out of green star metal a wondrous medallion to augment the sight of the wearer. I have named it Rimegar’s Eye after my grandfather who had even greater vision than I. Seek it at the Golden Lion.
Cloak
I met Wildwind Silverheart in the Golden Lion one day, and after a bout of mutual lamenting and considerable drinking, I told her about my vision. To my great surprise, she offered to craft a magical cloak when I didn’t even know I needed one! She called it Ironwind. As it was the last Wonder that I needed, I struggled to find a place to hide it from the passing of years. I finally decided on the Old North Road.
Hat
At the request of the Green Star Oracle, the eccentric Wizard Ronk did craft and create a hat of disguise and trickery made from the essence of doppleganger and mimic ichor. When finished to his satisfaction, he bestowed upon the hat the name Fadeaway. It has been placed in Deridor’s Tower for safekeeping until the time when it shall be needed.
Boots
The Dark Wizard Zama Kindu was paid 100,000 gold crowns to fashion magical boots. I do not know if it was worth it or if the boots which he named Stiefel are worth the cost. In either case, they are now Green Star boots fashioned from leather and leaves and feathers and orichalcum. I thought it appropriate that they be hidden for safe-keeping in his own Tomb where he could watch over them and glory in his own creation.
Gloves
Once I settled on a pair of gloves for one of the Wonders, prompted by a vision, of course, it made sense to get the Arch-Mage Turambar to craft them. He was considered the best at crafting magical gloves, but I fear the price he asked—a vision—may have been too high. Still, he made a pair of green naga hide gloves that he named Shockaree. I’ve chosen to hide them in the Ice Cave of Parnouth.
Bracers
Meta Tox would only make bracers for me if I got her three exotic items. That seemed like a small price to pay for a such a big request. How little did I know then! One animal, vegetable and mineral later, she crafted a pair of Bracers that she named Armstrong. Seven years later, she wanted them back, so I had to hide them somewhere else—the Lost Remson Mine.
