People at Uni - Urwan

l urwan 

You see Staffmaster Urwan of the Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star, the Sixth Level Wizard. 

He is a strapping young human lad. 

He is slightly hurt. 

He is standing. 

His skin looks as hard as rock, although it seems weaker around the chest. 

He has a three star shield floating around him. 

Wearing : a black eyepatch, a silvery-red marina wool cloak, a smuggler's tricorn and a Klatchian steel coif. 

Carrying: a pair of airy white cotton trousers, an antique black dress, an official employment writ and a dusty rose konara oak staff. 

Art of the Octangle (2)

Moving widdershins from our previous place and towards the Tower of Art, one reaches the corner of the octangle that is consecrated to the Silver Star / Brown wizards:

Here in the southwest corner of Unseen University's main octangle, the Tower of Art stretches over eight hundred feet into the air.  The Tower is older than both the Unseen University and the city built around it, and looks it - gnarled like an ancient yew, completely windowless, and occasionally dangerously decrepit.  A door to the south leads inside the tower, whilst cobbled paths lead north through the lawns to the Great Hall and eastwards around the Octangle.  To the northeast, the University clock tower looms over everything the Tower may have somehow managed to miss, and a statue stands beneath one of the spreading chestnut trees.

The bench we find nearby is dark brown, and trying to sit on it if you do not belong to the appropriate order /color has the following effect:

You sit on a dark brown oak bench.

> The bench suddenly changes its shape to become a steep slope, sending you sliding down onto the grass.

You stand up.

The bench changes back into its normal bench-like shape.

Only one statue looms close, representing the generic Silver Star mage:

Unlike the other statues around the octangle, this one has been carved from oak.  It shows a massively fat wizard wearing a carpenter's apron over the robes of a member of the Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star.  Well, most of a wizard.  The carved wand in his oak hands is undergoing a rapid thaumic disassembly, and therefore so is his wooden head.

Order Rings - The Brothers of the Silver Star

>look anvil ring in case

A plain silver ring has been augmented by a miniature representation of an anvil, flawlessly crafted from flint. Lying crossed on the anvil are a golden hammer and an octiron staff, while the sides of the anvil have been stippled with golden spots which seem to form words.
Etched in lines of glowing octarine: "Argenteus Astrum"
It appears to have something written on it.
It is in excellent condition.

Order Rooms - The Brothers of the Silver Star

[Special thanks goes today to Master Darevaine, the Silver Star Wizard who kindly provided me with the descriptions...]

You see a vision in the silver mirror:

This is the common room for the Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star. Though, it shouldn't be hard to tell. There is a large round drum in the middle of the room that acts as a table, around which are many wooden chairs. The walls have all been made from wood, and the ceiling has been vaulted for that added flair. The floor, on the other hand, is covered by a thick layer of sawdust. Against one of the walls sits a chest; on either side, a pedestal can be seen. A board and a plaque hang on a wall.
A small octarine eye, hovering in the middle of the room, watches you.
There are three obvious exits: east, south and west.

look table: Exquisitely crafted, this table has been made into a type of drum. The top of the table hosts a large, round crystal surface which both protects the wood and the bulletin board laying underneath. The sides of the drum have been carved and allow you to see into the drum's base.

l walls: The walls are wooden and mostly plain.

l floor: The floor is made from high density wood and is covered in a thick layer of sawdust.

l ceiling: The ceiling has been vaulted and has a single glowing star hovering near the centre which illuminates the room.

l star in ceiling: This is a hovering silver star. It emits a bright and rather useful light.

l chest: 'This is a fretwork chest which has been painstakingly carved from rowan. The filigree is so intricate and delicate that it defies you to see inside it. Alas, it is a magical chest and looking inside would likely only cause confusion to the mundane onlooker. However, small though it is, it will hold all manner of objects.

look pedestal: These are forged from raw iron. Each one holds either a hammer or an anvil.

look hammer, anvil in pedestal: 'This is a large octiron hammer. Its shaft is made from petrified sapient pearwood. Along the head of the hammer mystical runes sparkle and gleam. It might be possible to bang the hammer against the anvil for posterity sake. Though, it's not advised.' 'This is an anvil made from pure octiron. It has not a single scratch on it, though mystical runes cover its surface completely. It's obviously not used for anything more then symbolism'.

[after looking around a bit, we reached the conclusíon that the hammer must be the way of going to the Wizard bar. Probably: 'bang hammer against anvil' should do the trick...]
