Beginning tonight. Will be open for 24 hours, then a brief period of live 'final bids'.

THE AUCTION
On the day of the auction, various merchant vessels are sent to the great nations of Meranthe and other locations of wealth. They set up runic holopads that allow long-distance presence and interactions, though the crowd at the Archmage Headquarters is vast already and many will choose to attend in person to enjoy the sights and festivities. These merchant vessels will nonetheless help to middle-man the bids across the country by validating the coin and such, then once the transaction is complete the desired object will be sent via parcel some weeks later.

AUCTION RULES
1. You may only bid on one item at a time. You bid by posting, including your character name & amount of coin, and your bid must be at least 10% higher than the previous one. Items that have multiple quantities are single/direct purchase, first come first served; single items are bidden on.
1b. You can bid on a MAXIMUM of three separate targets total for the duration of the Auction (and one at a time, of course). If you do not secure an object after this, you cannot bid on a fourth. You're still eligible to enter the raffle however.

2. If you're outbid on the target item, then you're free to immediately bid on something else. You cannot withdraw bids. You're locked in unless outbid, so choose carefully.

3. Only bid if your character actually has the coin available at the time of your post (on your character or within a chest you own).

4. You should not be sharing coin with another to maximize chances of success; your coin is your own once you place a bid. For all purposes that coin 'no longer exists' once it's the leading bid of an item.

5. You may respond to bids with in-game action after the auction concludes, but not during. 
5b. You may bid using a valid disguise alias, the disguise you own directly. It must NOT be a name that doesn't exist.

6. If your character has not been actively roleplaying for at least the past few weeks or more you're not permitted to bid or use a middleman to do so for you. This includes passing off coin to help others.

7. Do not try to raise coin via OOC methods during the Auction, such as asking people via Discord or in LOOC to give you it. This extends to things like sub selling too. It's acceptable to organize ICly as a guild or faction but let's keep it to Say and RP only.

CONSEQUENCES
Anyone found to be in violation of these rules is subject to any or multiple of the following punishments,

1. Chest/coin wipe on all characters/keys
2. A temporary game ban 
3. Revoking the bid, goes to another at a discounted price
4. Banned from the Auction House, coin fine (debt)

If you suspect someone is in violation of any of the above rules, be sure to ticket and report them with detailed information. You might gain a small social credit bonus (coin) if action is taken.

[Chance]

Mystery Box (x30)
10,000c
What will you get?! A random item is contained within this red-ribboned, golden crate. It could be priceless!


Clearstone Aetherite (x3)
100,000c
A small, palm-sized shard of clear, glassy aetherite. This crystal mass has the affinity of aether in its rawest form; untouched and as natural as the air we breathe. Its properties are most suitable for defensive purposes given the rich quality of magic contained within.

Lumin Blossom (x3)
100,000c
A rare and sacred flower of Nemea which only grows where the four emblem-flowers of the seasons exist in harmony. Able to bloom in any season, its petals glow in no more or less than a dozen shades of gold and its twinkling pollen is easily mistaken for the powder of Fae. 

Gude to Picking Pockets (x5)
30,000c
A starter kit on relieving heavy pockets of their silver. Surely a fine investment for any inspiring thief.


Path of the Assassin
Starting Bid: 10,000c
Interested in a career change? An all expenses paid trip to a secluded, mountain retreat! You will practice there for a year before being sent back into the world, for better or worse!

Galadhrim
Starting Bid: 100,000c
A long bow which houses a core of nevermelt ice wrapped in a barrier of protective Elderwood.

Fang Of Doria
Starting Bid: 100,000c
This weapon is a type of blade known as a xiphos, popular in Doria and the origin of the famed imagery of Dorian Hoplites.

An Artist's Muse
Starting Bid: 100,000c
A brush of as many layers as one would find in a labyrinth or, alternatively, an onion; the shaft of this painter's brush is made of a deeply-set orichalcum core, parcelled and packaged by a thin coating of arcanium. This structure finds itself firmly brined by a gathering of runic etchings that would have the mana flow to the tip of the brush, only to be pickled by interwoven wood of dastardly properties, tucked away beneath an outwardly, ever-so-simple, not-so-dastardly oak sheath.

See No Evil
Starting Bid: 30,000c
A thin length of an uncannily dark and impermeable cloth, sewn across its middle in barely visible threads with the alternating pattern of eyes shut and open, with runic patterns whose only clear function is the obscurity of any deeper purpose from clearer discernment and understanding. Neither the naked eye nor even proficient magical sight seem able to see ought through its inky veil.

Suncast Fȳr
Starting Bid: 50,000c
This pendant is forged in the image of the sun, a dragon haed in the midst with golden fox tails surrounding it, paying homage to the Dragon God Aeledfyr and the Nine-tailed Fox Jiuweihu. Named for the very fȳr that lit cosmos ablaze, this sun-anointed amulet represents the signalling of a new day and the work that is ahead.

Starflower
Starting Bid: 30,000c
Atop the highest cliffs, closest to the stars is where one can find this new breed of flower. Rare it is, however, and oft times dangerous to locate - it will only bloom under the clearest of night skies, once very ten years. It's shape is naturally reminiscent to that of a classical, drawn star - yet the glow it gives off is quite like the balls of gas in the sky. As such, there is the smallest, smallest portion of heat that emanates from it, and cosmic dust gently falls off the petals when moved.

Adaptive Branch
Starting Bid: 30,000c
A branch that seems to be defy the laws of the world by constantly being able to change its physical form within every five minutes. From turning into a gas to liquid before finding itself to be a regular solid form once again, making it quite difficult to even properly grasp it. As result of its unstable nature it is been stored inside of a adaptive runic comparment. Allowing it to be fully stored without having further issues.

Adaptive Slime
Starting Bid: 30,000c
An unusual, ichorous substance that's semi-sentient. It was produced after years of trial and error in an alchemist's lab, and has a rubbery, repelling texture, highly resist to both the cold and the heat. It can adapt to the elements and gains resistance against them.

Blood Copper
Starting Bid: 30,000c
A rare copper that has a dried blood coloration. It is highly conductive, making it ideal to add to weapons or items that need focus by energy or lightning mages. Occasionally veins of it appear next to copper, and separating one from the other can be a difficult process.

Salium
Starting Bid: 30,000c
This small fragment of greened ice emits a strong, salty odor like an ocean shore. Its surface is irregular and rough, marbled with white veins. A simple process of grinding will yield a sparkling, rough powder ready for use. It can only be found within the Gotaal icebelt. Coating it with an object is said to grant frostbite inducing properties.

Flask of Ancient Vampire Blood
Starting Bid: 30,000c
A verified, sealed flask of vampiric blood, confirmed to be that of an ancient house that once ruled Apropriya.

Spell Scroll of Arcane Stasis
Starting Bid: 10,000c
After use, can place an object, person, or something else into stasis for a period of five seconds. It takes less than a second to activate once directed and binding, ethereal chains appear around the target. One time use.

Koretheia's Bathwater
Starting Bid: 1,000c
"A tightly sealed vial of… bathwater?! It constantly shimmers with mana and even radiating an air of harmony. How did this even end up here?! "

Vinaska's Bathwater
Starting Bid: 1,000c
"A tightly sealed vial of… bathwater?!  It constantly shimmers with mana and even radiating an air of icy destruction within it. How did this even end up here?!"
