We're pleased to announce April's promotion: a brand new talisman set! Steeped in tradition, it is focused on the eternal battle between the Ivory and Quisalis marks. For every 100 credits purchased on Achaea.com, you'll receive a talisman piece, with an additional piece being granted for every 500 credits purchased. So if you purchase 2000 credits, you'll receive 24 talisman pieces (that's 4 free)!

As with the previous Conclave set, these pieces are able to be sold, traded, or redeemed for a portion of the value of the completed artefacts!

While they're themed around the Ivory and Quisalis Marks, they're available to all adventurers, regardless of Mark membership.

Here's the list of the available items in this set:

Ivory Mark
----------
A Warhorn of Heroes (ivorywarhorn)

A Champion's medallion (ivorymedallion)
- This medallion will confer a bonus to experience for slaying members of the Quisalis Mark. This only applies to adventurer kills.

A Sangrean spyglass (ivoryspyglass)
- Granting enhanced sight of the Quisalis Den, this spyglass will allow adventurer to see the ranks of the Quisalis Mark in the Realms. MARKWHO will reveal the list.

An Ivory pennon (ivorypennon)
- A sign of affiliation with the Ivory Mark, this pennon will confer a small experience bonus to the wearer when hunting Denizens in the the Quisalis Den, under New Thera.

A spiralled Silver Arrow armband (ivoryarmband)
- As a loyal supporter of the Ivory Mark, this item bestows a custom deathsight message upon the owner while worn. For kills attributed to the wearer, adventurers will see: "As a beacon of the Ivory Mark, <Killer> has vanquished <Victim>."

An armed Atlantia dummy (ivoryatlantia)
- Perfect for your next Mark-related performance, or just to tell a horrible joke, this ventriloquist's dummy has been fashioned to look like Atlantia, leader of the Ivory Mark. Wielders can DUMMY <dummy> SAY <whatever> to make the dummy speak.

A Champion's training dummy (ivorydummy)
- Howl with righteous fury as your wail upon this training dummy. You can drop it anywhere and then attack it for up to one Achaean day. All attacks that work on denizens may be used on this item.

A miniature Ivory Tower (ivorytower)
- A perfect replica of the Ivory Tower, this item may be TURNed to transport the adventurer to the Sangre Plains and the halls of the Ivory Mark. This item will only work on the continent of Sapience, and requires the user to be in good general health.

An Atlantian bowstring (ivorybowstring)
- Crafted for the famed cloudbow of Atlantia, this bowstring will ensure that arrows will not lose accuracy, regardless of how far the arrow is shot. Simply ATTACH it to your bow to reap the benefits. Should you wish to change the bow it is attached to, simply DETACH it.


Quisalis Mark
-------------
Anima's Thirst (quisalisdagger)
- The fabled tool of a long-dead assassin, this weapon will effortlessly pierce to the very soul of the target, severing the safeguards against death. To unleash this power, simply STAB <target> WITH <dagger> and their starburst defence, and any inked starburst tattoos will be annihilated. This weapon may only be used once per Achaean day.

A notched bone (quisalisbone)
- This macabre trophy will convey upon the owner a small experience bonus for slaying adventurers in the Ivory Mark.

A Callibian medallion (quisalismedallion)
- Replicated from the one worn by the famed Quisalis recruiter, Callibius, this token will bestow an experience bonus to all denizen kills inside the Ivory Tower.

The Grandmaster's looking glass (quisalislookingglass)
- Precisely calibrated, this looking glass will allow the wielder to see the members of the Ivory Mark in the realms with the MARKWHO command.

A suspicious-looking Derillin dummy (quisalisderillin)
- Known for his shadowy motives and enticing deals, Derillin's character traits have been accurately represented on this ventriloquist's dummy. The owner of this puppet may use DUMMY <dummy> SAY <comment> to make him speak.

An Assassin's training dummy (quisalisdummy)
- A vital tool for an aspiring Assassin, this training dummy will offer the convenience of a willing victim for the owner's attacks. Once dropped, it will return to the owner's inventory in one Achaean day. All attacks that work on denizens may be used on this item.

A miniature tombstone (quisalistombstone)
- As cold and eerie as the New Thera graveyard, this small token will transport the owner to outside the Quisalis Den under New Thera. This item will only work on the continent of Sapience, and requires the user to be in good general health.

A coiled black steel armband (quisalisarmband)
- As a devout follower of the Quisalis Mark, this armband bestows a custom deathsight message upon the owner while worn. For kills attributed to the wearer, adventurers will see: "In accordance with the traditions of the Quisalis Mark, <Killer> has assassinated <Victim>."

A cloak of the Blood Maiden (quisaliscloak)
- A perfect reproduction of the cloak of the storied Quisalis Assassin, Isiva, this cloak functions as a Shadowcloak, and also drinks in the blood of vanquished foes. Once it has drunk in enough blood (5 deaths, player kills are worth double) the cloak will allow the owner to ACTIVATE BLOODSHIELD, providing a shield that will block the next attack against you. Be warned, the cloak's thirst for blood must be sated, failing to make a kill within 3 minutes will cause the blood reserves to deplete.

A Death Keeper's mask (quisalismask)
- An armament of the Quisalis of old, this mask will provide the wearer with the area that the victim died in via DEATHSIGHT.


Penned by My hand on the 8th of Ero, in the year 680 AF.
