"Some druids seek an understanding of nature by opening themselves to the cycle of the seasons. Rooted, they gain leaves and bark, taking in water and nutrients as would a tree. Or so the druids at the Jaded Ornaug claimed last night."—Aurelienne Broles

Fragments[edit]

The table below shows the fragments in the order that they appear in the Antiquities menu:

ON-icon-fragment-Scarab-host Box.png Name Scarab-host Box Value N/A
Verita Numida
Most puzzling. Druidic in origin, but the box has no discernible hinges, keyhole, or opening. When I hold it in my hands, I swear I can feel something alive scuttling around inside of it. What could its purpose be?

ON-icon-fragment-Amber Heart.png Name Amber Heart Value N/A
Verita Numida
Ashamed to say that I almost dropped this. I felt it beat in my hand, like it was alive. Yes, it's anatomically correct, but it's made of hardened tree sap. Outside of druidic magic, I can't fathom how or why someone would make such a thing.

ON-icon-stolen-Treethane Nirel Book.png Name Petrified Tree Bark Tablet Value N/A
Verita Numida
There's a spell carved here! Definitely druidic, and mentions something about donning the "skin of the forest." Does the pattern on the other side look like a face to you, too? I swear it kept flashing me an impish grin out of the corner of my eye.

ON-icon-style material-Shimmering Sand.png Name Dolmen Clay Value N/A
Verita Numida
Detailed analysis suggests this clay was excavated from beneath one of the stone circles in the heart of Galen. Druidic practices make regular call for dolmen clay in rituals from the mundane to the fantastic.

ON-icon-stolen-Hairbrush 02.png Name Chimera-Hair Brush Value N/A
Verita Numida
A carved wooden handle, oak from the deep vales of Galen. I have no doubt. More intriguing is the hair! Chimera, I believe. A possible leap, but look how its warp and weft is so consistent? Subtly different than a lion's mane, which is the tip-off.

ON-icon-food-Frost Mirriam.png Name Writhing Vine Mass Value N/A
Verita Numida
Unpleasant, but well worth the discomfort. Clings to skin with a subtle grip, and spreads itself out over a human body if given the chance. Living ritual implements like this have been rumored for years, but this was my first chance to study one.

ON-icon-fragment-Old Growth Mulch.png Name Old Growth Mulch Value N/A
Verita Numida
A solid clod of material with a rich aroma, druids from Galen make use of this mulch in tending to their precious herb gardens. When mixed with other ritual materials it could prove a potent activator, potentially unleashing hidden potential.

ON-icon-quest-Bark 01.png Name Living Bark Value N/A
Verita Numida
Through alchemical and magical means this bark has been harvested in a still-living state. You could plant this in the ground and grown a whole stand of trees, if you were so inclined. I can only guess at its ritual purpose for the druids.

ON-icon-fragment-Grove Carpet Buds.png Name Grove Carpet Buds Value N/A
Verita Numida
These little budlings are still alive, believe it or not. This moss is called "Grove Carpet" by Galen druids. Practically indestructible in bud form. Sprinkle even ancient budlings in some water and you'll have a lush plant in a matter of days.

ON-icon-fragment-Phoenix Moth Pigment.png Name Phoenix Moth Pigment Value N/A
Verita Numida
A vibrant pigment, but not the reds or oranges you might expect from the beautiful phoenix moth. This deep brownish hue comes from crushing the moth pupae, a ritualistically completed act done in preparation of some Galen rituals.
