Once again, I'm looking for a few descriptions and I would be more than grateful for any and all help that can be provided, actually. I'm looking to gather for myself the inventory, and probed descriptions of the sceptre, orb, and crown artefacts gathered by you demigod/ascendant type people for a project of mine, and I'd appreciate all the information you can render for me. It'd be best if I can get the dropped description too, but at least the inventory and probed desc would be what I'm mainly looking for. Thank you, in advance!

the Lavender Staff of Living Beauty
Rising vertically from the ground here, the Lavender Staff of Living Beauty radiates an ambient aura of gold-flecked light.
This long staff has been fashioned from silver, decorated wildly with living lavender, each blossom shimmering with an ethereal radiance. Much of the staff has been fashioned with impossible whirls, swirls and whorls, their centres ever moving farther and farther inwards as the eye chases it. The bottom of the staff has been fashioned into a needle-like point, etched with gold and lavender runes. Reaching skyward and etched across the whole of the staff are great silver vines from which the living lavender blossoms, converging at the top, forming a cradle. At the centre of the cradle is an eye fashioned from rose gold, its pupil ever shifting and gazing about serenely.
It weighs about 18 pounds.
the Splintered Bough of Nature
The Splintered Bough of Nature lies on the ground here, vibrating with an ethereal power.
This bough is made up of dark, gnarled wood that vibrates with latent energies. Covered in dangerously sharp splinters that come to wicked points, the end of this large bough is tipped with a gleaming droplet of amber, which refracts light passing through it into warm oranges and raw, bloody reds. A handful of translucent emerald leaves adorn the end of the branch, glowing and shifting with various shades and shapes, casting a spray of soft rays on the surroundings.
It weighs about 30 pounds.
the Blossoming Orb of Nature
The Blossoming Orb of Nature lies here, shrouded in an ethereal green mist.
Glowing a vibrant green, this orb is wrapped by an ethereal mist. Currents of pure energy fold and twist together within its depths as a sweet floral odor fills the air around it. Occasional flashes of plant life appear on the orb's surface. Delicate flowers sprout and bloom along its edges before wilting and sinking back into the orb's depths.
It weighs about 6 pounds.
the Untarnished Wreath of Nature
Filling the air with a sweet scent, the Untarnished Wreath of Nature lies on the ground here.
Leafy vines have been woven together to create this ornamental headpiece. Translucent leaves of green, red and gold hang loosely from the vines, shimmering beautifully. Delicate flowers have been set amidst the entangled vines, their colours blending together in a dazzling display of vibrant tints and shades. The vines emits a glowing light, creating a shimmering, emerald halo around the wreath.
It weighs about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s).

the Platinum Sceptre of Arbitration
Shining platinum, twisted in flowing, fluid lines, constitutes the shaft of this elegant sceptre, and atop it, golden calligraphy shifts endlessly across a single white sphere of ghostly alabaster. Bulbous shards of crystal have been set in the platinum of the shaft, and they pulse with a faint, enigmatic glow. A sense of cold disinterest and detached ambivalence radiates from the sceptre, and the air around it blurs in an insubstantial nimbus of frigid power.

the Gruestome Rod of Chastisement
Narrow and long, this rod is square edged with barbed spikes jutting at
symmetrical intervals from its polished sides, and bloodied razors running up
and down its length upon each corner. Pierced with a corona of tiny iron spikes,
a ruby orb tops the rod at one end, oozing and bleeding with a wispy essence
that fills the space about it with a nauseating smell of blood, and tarnishes
the warping air with a ruddy tint.
It weighs about 18 pounds.
the Discordant Rod of Chaos
The smooth wood of this bizarre rod shines with an unnatural, purple colour
along its entire length. The rod is only straight at one end where it can be
grasped before turning into a maddening display of awkward angles and impossible
twists. The insane shape continues several feet onward, making the entire object
incredibly awkward to hold straight.
It weighs about 50 pounds.
the Warped Orb of Chaos
The very air around this orb, if it can truly be called that with its infinite
writhings, distorts and twists impossibly. Chaotic energies churn wildly within
the orb's confines, occasionally bursting out in powerful sparks that dance
through the air. The very size and shape of this artifact changes and shifts at
a constant rate, sometimes a cube, sometimes a sphere, at times tiny enough to
fit in the palm of a hand, and then suddenly as large as a child. The colours
reflected within the orb's depths are just as chaotic, changing rapidly in
intensity and hue.
It weighs about 6 pounds.

"crown127436" the Crystal Crown of Subtlety
Formed from a single piece of gleaming crystal, even crenallations line the outward circumference of the crown, glittering with tongues of lambent flame which blaze about the translucent stone in lieu of gold or gemstones. Within the outmost edge, an
inner circle of icy crystal rises, capped in smooth pearlescent triangles which sit between each square of the outer battlements with precision. The crown is icy to the touch, but imbued with an arcane energy which thrums palpably in the air about
it. Faint, dry whisperings echo within and without its crystal bounds, advising and cajolling, dissecting subtle distinctions and illuming the incomprehensible.
"orb119550" the Azure Orb of the Arcane
Bathed in a soft blue glow, this orb is composed from a translucent silvery metal. It is freezing to the touch, but malleable, and shifting symbols and diagrams fade and form constantly upon its glassy surface. Within, like the layers of an onion,
the planes of the first world are displayed, fading into insubstantiality as you focus through them to those that lie beneath. At its heart, a smoldering sphere of darkest flame burns with an unquenchable intensity.
My sceptre is missing.

the White Orb of Redress
This large orb has been carved meticulously from mysterious, white stone. A faint white glow surrounds the orb, pulsing gently as it radiates a fierce heat. The orb is plain and smooth, free of any distinctive markings or flaws in the surface.
It weighs about 6 pounds.
Pretty boring orb.

the Brilliant Sceptre of Life
The air around it pulsing with vitality, the Brilliant Sceptre of Life floats upright.
The pommel of this gleaming sceptre has been fashioned of bleached coral, interlocking horns and notches fitting together perfectly, cloaked in a pulsing ambience of white light. Colourful lengths of seaweed and sea grass hang from numerous spikes, glowing with vitality. All through the small gaps open notches within the pommel are red and blue flows of liquid power, pulsing as they flow in opposite directions, the blue eternally pushing higher towards the crown. At the apex of the sceptre lies a shimmering orb of white light, its depths only penetrated by a gleaming, beating red heart.
---
the Pulsing Orb of Glorious Light
Pulsing with an effervescent white light, the Orb of Life lies here.
Manifesting as pure light captured within an orb of crystal resting on a nest of shells and coral, the Orb of Life pulses as the brilliant light within shifts and dances. The various chunks of coral have been bleached white but continue to grow, shifting and moving in the most minute increments with each passing moment. Half-shells of oysters and clams have been embedded into the nest of coral, resting beside bejeweled sand dollars laced with colourful strands of seaweed and grass, glowing with a vitality all their own.
---
the Gleaming Coronet of Effulgent Glory
A gleaming coronet fashioned of coral and shells lies here, surrounded by a halo of white light.
Surrounded by a soft halo of white light, this coronet glitters and glows with its own, inner radiance. A thin circle of white-gold has been used for a base, interlocking pieces of bleached coral forming the whole of the coronet. Each piece of coral shifts with each passing moment, growing in infinitely small increments. Brilliant half-shells of clams and shellfish decorate the face of the coronet, bejeweled with mother of pearl and shimmering fire opals. At the fore of this coronet lies a pale lace agate, rays of white running through the light blue stone towards a red, beating heart.

Woo. So that's Beauty's sceptre, War's sceptre, Chaos' sceptre and orb, Justice's sceptre and orb, Knowledge's orb and crown, Nature's full set, and Life's full set. Has anyone not yet claimed any of Harmony's artefacts? Death, I'll poke Shuyin for, but I really do appreciate all of the descriptions so far!
Rika2008-03-01 10:18:15
Catarin has the Harmony sceptre.
Catarin2008-03-02 19:59:41
Harmony:
the Golden Sceptre of Harmony
This sceptre is composed of an circular rod of ruddy, burnished gold, surmounted with a small sphere of flawless diamond. Simply decorated, it is not a work of art, but its proportions are perfect and its bare and precise symmetry creates a sense of extraordinary elegance and appropriateness. A golden aura radiates around it, though it does not derive from within it. Instead, it is as though the very air and surroundings of the sceptre seek to match and become congruous with it.
the Radiant Orb of Balance
A sphere of cold and glassy force encases a single shard of whitest light, orbited by inumerable satelites of energy, tiny motes which swirl about the centre in complex dancing patterns of perfect symmetry. The glowing display remains in perfect equilibrium, regardless of the angle at which it is held, and the orb has a strange momentum of its own, resisting sharp movement. Calm and equanimity radiates from it, together with a powerful sense of congruity, so that everything it casts its light upon seems fitting, apt, and handsome.

Justice:
the Crown of Inexorable Justice
This towering crown is composed from sheets of platinum mounted on a framework of heavy steel. Bearing golden inscriptions that shift and shimmer through unknown tongues, this massive crown weighs heavily upon the wearer, and exudes a cold, austere aura. A single massive diamond rests in the front and centre of the crown, blazing which a burning eye which burns with penetrative puissance and flickers with constant movement.
It weighs about 25 pounds.

the Bone of Mortality
Casting an unnatural pall on its surroundings, a twisted femur lies here.
Polished to a sheen, a small and twisted femur radiates a sense of palpable fear. A grotesque skull surmounts one end, bound to the bone with rotting bands of plaited leathery sinew. A black shadowy aura exudes a chilling cold, spreading slowly about the skull as it sucks ambient light into the opened jaw. Wispy, insubstantial shapes graze and dance along the bone's length, and faint moaning whispers appeal for sustenance and aid.
It weighs about 1 pounds and 9 ounce(s).
the Bone Orb of Necrotic Might
A gleaming black orb hovers in the air, casting a dark pall over its surroundings.
A perfect sphere of pure impenetrable night, the orb rests in the dessicated fingers of a skeletal hand. A black mist rises off it in slow wafts of greasy meandering vapour, and the orb thrums with the threat of latent menace. From within the orb's interior a constant scratching sound can be heard, and the trace of nails can be seen against the sphere's glassy circumference as whatever lies within claws hopelessly against its confines. Radiating from the orb, an atmosphere of despair and desperation clogs the air, and the light itself is tempered within its influence.
It weighs about 3 pounds and 12 ounce(s).
the Jagged Crown of Death
A bleeding crown of jagged rock glints coldly from an aura of unnatural shadow.
Cut from a single piece of black and glassy stone, irregular jagged edges crenellate the crown's rim, and smoky shadows writhe within its depths. Blood-red rubies jut at intervals around the crown, bleeding with an ethereal ooze which smears its chilly sides and vanishes as it drips away. Flickering shadows dance about within and without the crown, coalescing briefly into the insubstanial forms of wailing souls before fading into nothingness.
It weighs about 4 pounds and 6 ounce(s).

the Sanguinary Orb of Belligerence
Smeared with a flaky layer of dried and drying blood, this steel orb resonates
with a joyous bloodlust which fills the air with a piercing expectancy and sets
the pulse racing. Devoid of jewels or precious metals, the orb's only decoration
is the tiny etchings which cover every part of its steel surface, and through
which the seeping blood bleeds and bubbles up. Its whorls and indentations are
neither symbolic nor beautiful, without lettering or hieroglyph, yet somehow in
their entirety depicting and expressing an irrepressible atavistic belligerence
from a time before order or society.
Blood dribbles from a steel orb of malevolent design.

I see no descriptions for the Crowns for War, Chaos, and Harmony, or the Orb and Crown for Beauty. And here I thought everyone would be swarming with these arties already. And seems the sceptre desc for Knowledge Forren gave me was wrong.
