Putting Magic Flavor on the Table; Animated Wall

 Esteemed masters of transmutation turn their talents to protect themselves and their valuables. Animated walls are magical constructs created by powerful wizards. They are often used to guard secret chambers or to trap intruders. Sometimes these walls retain the sigils or runes of the ritual that awoke them. Some are indistinguishable until they move.

Once the wall is enchanted upto 45 square feet of contiguous structural material becomes animated and can move free of the rest. Any structural material can be animated as long as it is connected to the enchanted section by the same material.

Some clever transmutanists use Animated walls to form “built-in” furniture when they are not on duty. Damage done to the animated wall remains visible as it phases through connected material, Cracks and holes slide along the surface, revealing the placement of the Animated section.

The Queen's Chariot; Nchak

Green

Settlement


Nchak is a comet sacred to the faith of the Forever Queen, where she revealed herself to the shirrens fleeing the Swarm. It is the site of a monastery called the Forever Reliquary, which protects an artifact known as the Crown of Hylax.


Maximum Item Level 20


Geography

Nchak's orbit is highly eccentric and passes near or through multiple solar systems in it’s orbit.

History

In 4 AG, during their flight from the Swarm, just after they had built their first Drift-capable starships and made their first Drift jump, the shirrens detected the Nchak Comet passing nearby and its powerful energy signatures. Several ships landed on the comet, and as the shirrens began to gather materials, The Forever Queen appeared before them and welcomed them into her fold. Most of the shirrens later left the comet, having lost the Swarm, but a few remained to build a temple to honor her, on the same site where she appeared.

After a few years, when the Crown of Hylax was constructed and brought to Nchak, the resident monks recognized its significance. To secure it, they built a new underground monastery, the Forever Reliquary, to which they shifted their focus from the old temple.
