As promised by the Waystone Proprietor, much of the eve of impending pandemonium would be celebrated in joyous revelry. The glamor of a night of opulence, emanation, and radiance places itself within a small auction held within the confines of Waystone Inn itself! Invitations are flown out, most notably to the most sophisticated and renowned figures of each major and minor faction within the confines of Esshar, and perhaps even beyond.
   
A night of proposed peace, where all are invited to partake in idle bids of the highest qualities.
   
   
   

"Before we march and before lives are forever changed... let's have a toast! A night to unwind, a night to mayhaps make unforgettable memories, and a night to show off to the world your true worth, hee-hee!"

   
   
   
Brochures line anywhere and everywhere that footfalls arrive, making the items up for bidding aware to the general public in preparation. Items prepared and made locally by some of the most experienced and mastered hands Waystone can acquire:
     

Ashen Rose (Starting bid at 10,000c)
"Upon the white petals of this ornate rose would one notice the oddest scent of faint burning radiate from this piece. A simple touch might cause one to feel a misplaced warmth emanate from the rose, specifically its bloom. The stark black stem bearing odd thorny recluse is likely the coolest to touch parts of the item as finally would the reasoning be revealed at a closer inspection.
   
The petals seem to not be white, but ashy gray in its coloration. An odd burn continuously pitters outward as faint embers flicker upon the rosebud, eternally burning. A hardy artisan’s hand can likely repurpose this piece to something that bears an inclination to either pyrotechnical or botanical natures, or mayhaps even both."

Chilliade Bloom (Starting bid at 10,000c)
"An odd blue rose that seems to be crystalline in nature, as if it was made entirely out of crystals or ice, yet it is hard to tell of which. Requiring the utmost care of an experienced botanist, the hearty vigor of mother nature’s embrace allow the item to draw in the moisture around the air and not only use it to nourish its roots, but allow it to leave the soil around it to be healthier, making for a stellar and useful piece in any garden.
  
Despite that, it also bears the same chilly attunement not just to ice and crystal, but to biological matter and water in general. When melted down, the liquid it exudes seems like a stellar ingredient for potions that involve regeneration, rejuvenation, and healing in general."

Candlelit Figurine (Starting bid at 10,000c)
"A mechitech toy that seems to be primarily made out of mythril and arcanium. It looks to depict a well armed soldier, complete with a wind up key on its back. When winded up, it shivers forward whilst playing a haunting tune typically known to war songs. It seems Barsburgian in nature, honing on runic circuitry that seems to have been done by an expert.
  
However what’s peculiar is its metal body. It resonates greatly with the shifting temperatures around it. With cold tempering seemingly causing great magical deficiency upon it, causing the otherworldly metal toy to become a siphoner of magic. All the while immensely heating it up seems to allow it to become a radiating source of mana."

Kinetic Battery (Starting bid at 15,000c)
"Upon this odd magitech piece lies an immense pool of potential. Within its metal arcanium casing, a small vial within bears an empty state that seems to hold an intricate set of runes lining its surface. Mana that is fueled into the battery seems to be held deeply within its confines, allowing for growing potential energy to build up.
  
When released, the battery exudes a powerful kinetic force. A blast so powerful that it can easily topple buildings if focused on a singular point. A jaunty piece that is likely useful in a plethora of destructive projects."

Prismatic Lodestone Chunk (Starting bid at 15,000c)
"A colorful piece of stone that shimmers a rainbow-like coloration. Its bright and vivid state can easily attract one’s eye as the faintest shifting swirl within its crystals makes it clear that this item holds great latent power.
   
When examined, the clear connection to elemental power prides itself as an item any Sarradian would feel in-tune to. The shifting colors each correspond to a peculiar element, as if the piece was built to be able to control each one. However, if a proper magi attunes it to a singular elemental attunement, it can surely unleash a powerful consonance with it."
    
   
   
Increments of 1,000c are expected from each bid during the event. The Proprietor has removed any ceiling cap from the items, allowing bidders to go as high as their pockets are comfortable.
   
Furthermore, it is said that active bidders will be placed into a raffle, potentially garnering a winning prize of a cash prize, Arcanium, or a True Flight Potion!

    
      
    
The event will occur at Waystone Inn's Dinner Hall (look for the room with a small golden sign that says 'Dinner Room' inside).
The biddings will begin at 8PM EST, tonight!
All are invited. There are no restrictions to race or affiliation. Simply hold urges in until all bids are accomplished.
     
Prepare your money, see you there!
