 The Artificer
Nothing is ever simple for a witch and it seems that crafts are no different.
When you start this expansion, the formal letter of challenge on the next
page will arrive from an Artificer who has set up their workshop near High
Rannoc.

It seems they view you as something of a rival and intend to make things
difficult. Whenever you are out exploring for Maker’s Market related
Materials or for Ailment related Reagents, there is a chance that the
Artificer’s automatons have caused some problem.

Until you complete this expansion, any time you draw a card for an event
and that card’s suit is ♠, draw another card to see which of the following
events takes place as part of your original event:
Automatons have stomped through here recently. +5 Foraging Value
A
to all ANIMAL Reagents until the end of this Forage.
This area has been carelessly harvested already. +5 Foraging Value to
2
all PLANT Reagents until the end of the Week.
An automaton needed to emergency charge in this area. +8 Foraging
3
Value to all MAGIC Reagents until the end of the Week.
The Artificer has placed some sort of machine here. What is it? What
4
does it look like?
Pollution from one of the Artificer’s creations has affected this place.
5
What has changed here? What can you do to fix it?
The Artificer’s automatons have claimed this area and chase you off.
6
Lose 3 Foraging Points and skip this event. Where have they claimed?
One of the Artificer’s drones detects what it’s looking for in your
7
basket and steals it. Randomly discard 1 Material or Reagent.
An automaton asks you if you’re looking for Materials or Reagents. If
8
you are looking for Reagents, ignore any ♠ for the rest of this Forage.
Conveyor belts have been laid out through this Locale. Increase the
9
Timer by 1 as you can ride them around.
Something here has been damaged by the Artificer’s creations. What
10
is it? Can it be fixed?
An Automaton dropped something here. Draw a card and gain a
J
Reagent or Material equal to its value that can be found in this Locale.
There’s an automaton here, it looks damaged. What do you do with
Q
it? Do you help it? If so, gain the Damaged Automaton (page 14).
The Artificer is here in person. What do they want? What is
K
happening to them?
All Foraging Value Changes are Locale Specific

To the hedge witch of High Rannoc

I am the Artificer, master of machines, ender of hunger, aegis of the

future, and CEO of the Enterprise. It has come to my attention that
you have turned your attentions from mere potions and poultices and
have now deemed yourself a “Maker”.

Very well.

It is in the best interests of the people that the mass production of the
Enterprise be unimpeded and yet they cling to handmade tat like
yours as if it were handed down by the God of Crafts itself. A
frustrating mindset of the countryside that must be amended.

Over the next year, I propose that you and I have a wager.

If my automatons and I can fulfil more Commissions than you, then

you will publicly support me and my work.

If you can fulfil more Commissions than me, then I will… adjust my
business model. You will be able to guide my Enterprise so that it
may continue to serve the common good as best as it is able.

Until then, best of luck and so on and so forth,

The Artificer

My real name is my own until I know I can trust you.

To determine how many Commissions the Artificer completes each

month, draw a card and divide its Value by 2. Minimum 1 each
month.

As you play, you’ll have opportunities where you meet the Artificer.
Consider then what their personality is. Do they believe they’re doing the
right thing? Can they be made to see the error of their ways?

Win or lose, the end result may be unexpected depending on where you let
the story take you.

 Making
There comes a time in every witch’s life when they want to do something,
anything other than make potions and while there’s plenty of exciting things
to do around these parts, sometimes we just want to make something.

The next few pages contain all the information ye need to get started with
various craftin’ hobbies including:

• Blacksmithing and Jewellery Making

• Painting

• Sculpting and Woodworking

You can dabble in ‘em all at once or just do one or a few, ain’t no-one gonna
tell you how to live yer life.

Makin’ anything follows the same general steps:

• Get a Commission or an Idea (page 5 & 6)

• Decide what Materials/ Woods/ Metals/ Pigments etc you want to use

• Go find ‘em and bring ‘em back

• Make the thing using yer various new Tools

Course, the particulars might work out different but that there’s the basic
How To of any craft.

Oh, and to keep ye right, yer Craft Levels (which are much like yer
Reputation) are as follows:

Novice – 0 to 10
Hobbyist – 11 to 20
Expert – 21 to 30
Master – 31+

After each project, whether it be a Commission or Idea, you gain 2 Craft

Levels. Once your Craft Level reaches Master, ye must undertake a
Masterpiece (page 28 & 29) to prove yer skill and earn the title.

4
 Ideas
There’re two reasons to make something. The first is that ye just want to
make something for the sake of making somethin’. The second reason is that
someone is willin’ to pay ye or could really use yer help and ye’d like to be a
good neighbour.

Each is as valid as the other.

Making an Idea is somewhat less demanding than other types of creation as

there is no Consequence for failure nor is there a Deadline.

To make an Idea all you need to do is:

1) Come up with an Idea for what you want to make

2) Determine what Materials/ Woods/ Metals/ Pigments etc you’ll need

for your craft

3) Utilise your Tools to refine those raw supplies into usable ingots, paints,
etc

4) Put your creation together and tally up the Foraging Value of all the raw
ingredients to work out its Value (page 6) and either gift it to someone,
keep it for yourself, or take it to the Maker’s Market at the end of each
month.

And that’s really all there is to it (excepting a few Tool specific nuances
which are explained later). You’ve a lot of freedom in how you approach yer
crafts so ye’ll need to use some common sense.

Then there’s the other type of craft work which I’ve written about on the
next page.

5
 Commissions
This is what we call a Commission, these’re things that someone else wants/
needs you to make. Usually these have a Deadline and some Requirements.

Deadlines tend to be measured in Weeks but can go as long as Seasons and

often have a Consequence if you fail to meet ‘em.

Ye’ll generate the Requirements for each Commission through the handy
dandy table below and work out what it is they want.

But let’s look at a full Commission and how to make it.

First, we determine what Crafts we’re going to be using. This will

determine the sort of item ye’ll be making. No point askin’ a Painter for a
broadsword now is there? Ye can choose this yerself.

Secondly, ye’ll draw on the Commission Details table to see who is asking,
why they want ye to make something and what the Deadline’ll be.

Once ye have all of that information, ye’ll have something like this:

Commission from the local Butcher (Ace)

Reason: Replacing Broken Thing (Five)
Craft: Blacksmithing (Decided by self)
Deadline: 1 Week (Three)
Value: 9+

Nice and simple, seems like the Butcher wants us to make some new
knives. It’s up to you what Materials ye use to achieve that and yer Tools
will have some say in that (page 9 - 14).

Each Commission requires the use of a selection of Materials whose

combined Value is greater than the Value generated by the Commission
Details.

This is determined by adding up the Value of your 3 cards (Ace, Five, and
Three for the Butcher’s Knives). In this case, the value is 9. Quite cheap.

You can double up on Materials i.e. 3 Dead Steel Ingots for a total value of
18 but each Material must be Foraged for individually.

13
 Damaged Automaton
One of the Artificer’s arcane automatons, its inner working exposed by
damage. It will take a great deal of effort to repair it to full working order
but you’ve never been one to leave a patient behind, have you?

Each step of the Automaton’s repair process grants new bonuses and new
questions.

Once it has been fully repaired, it will take you to the Artificer’s secret
workshop, letting you slip past security and end the Artificer’s meddling
before the year has passed or as a second solution if you failed to win the
wager.

Step 1: Batterypot & Dwarvish Rune

Awake but unmoving, the Automaton can answer simple questions with a yes or a
no.

Planning Ahead – Ignore the first ♠ Event of each Forage as you can ask
your new-found friend what to expect.

Step 2: Cave Copper & Riverborn Tin

With an arm repaired, the Automaton can answer questions with more description
and draws a helpful schematic

Helpful Schematic – Gain +3 to all projects

Step 3: Strange Silver & Glimmerwood Oak

Arcane blood flowing and faceplate repaired, the Automaton is able to sit up and
communicate better.

Patient Placator – People like to talk when they’re nervous and the
Automaton provides a great conversational partner. Increase the Timer of
all Ailments by 1.

Step 4: Thornwood & Heartfire Ruby

The complex heart of an Automaton that gives it true life, curiously missing from
the original.

Life Itself – The Automaton has reached true life and is as aware and
thinking as anyone else. It wants to help you stop the Artificer’s Enterprise
and free the others. Do you help it? If so, turn to Facing the Artificer (page
15).

14
 Facing the Artificer
With the Damaged Automaton’s help, you’ll finally be able to enter the
Artificer’s Workshop.

Consider what you see as you explore this labyrinth of factories, conveyor
belts, and storage rooms. What sort of machines do you come across?
What does it look like?

As you explore, draw Cards to see what sort of things you come across and
bonuses/ penalties you receive.

A&2 You awaken a powerful machine guard. -1 Card to you.

A storeroom! Draw a Card and gain 5 Reagents whose highest
3&4
Foraging Values are equal to or less than the Card’s Value.
5&6 You trip a security system. What does it do? -1 Card to you.
You spot an animal that’s found its way in. Do you help it get out?
7&8
-1 Card to you but gain 1 Reputation.
You come across some important looking machinery. +1 Card to
9 & 10
you if you break it.
Sleeping Automatons, your friend thinks they can convince them
J&Q
to help. + 1 Card to you.
You find the Artificer’s Office and may face them or continue
K
exploring.

Once you have found the Artificer in their office, it is time to face them.
They are unlikely to give in without some sort of conflict so consider what
form that may take. A fight is the most likely but Artificers are strange folk
and may instead challenge you to a card battle using mechanical monsters.

Either way, draw three Cards for you and three Cards for the Artificer and
then apply any bonuses or penalties you gained from exploring the
Artificer’s Workshop.

If you win, what tricks did the Artificer employ? How did you overcome
them in the end and what rules do you set down for them to prevent them
from hurting anyone or anything again?

If you lose, what happened? How did they get the better of you? How do
you escape and how do you prepare for your next attempt?

15
 Metals
Goblin Gold — METAL — Bog (4) — Loch (6)
Difficulty: 5
This shimmering metal is often confused for gold by those too desperate or greedy
to know the difference. Often used in cheap jewellery making as it is very soft.
Draw a card upon completion:
♥ or ♦ – add 5 to the Value. ♣ or ♠ – remove 2 from the Value

Dead Steel – METAL – Dungeon (6) – Depths (11)

Difficulty: 7
Left for centuries in crypts and caverns, these ancient weapons and armours
absorb some form of life from the ghosts that once owned them.

Riverborn Tin – METAL – Mountain (4) – Isles (6) – Loch (7)

Difficulty: 4
A useful metal for any would-be metalworker or jeweller, this hardy tin can be
found by wading into near enough any river and digging through the mud.

Strange Silver – METAL – Strange (8)

Difficulty: 8
This multi-coloured metal can be found growing in cubes at the edge of the
Strange’s purple lava fields. Careful when handling it as it can be sharp!

Coffin Nails – METAL – Dungeon (2)

Difficulty: 2
When the undead rise, they burst the lids of their coffins, leaving many good nails
just lying around! Careful where you step.

True Silver – METAL – Forest (11)

Difficulty: 7
Considered by many to be the purest metal, true silver burns the skin of any cursed
being that touches it. Werewolves, vampires, the fae winded, and others. Careful
when handing it!

Mythril – METAL – Dungeon (13)

Difficulty: 12
Named so for its rarity, this legendary metal has been used in every hero’s sword,
shield, chainmail, aglets, and kitchenware since time immemorial.
Adventurers and Heroes pay Double the Value for Mythril.

16
Star Metal – METAL – Isles (10) – Ranges (13)
Difficulty: 15
Chunks of metal and stone hurtle around above the sky. Sometimes they fall down
from the realm of stars. Best be quick if’n ye see one land as miners from all over
swarm them like ants at a picnic.

Gold Chips – METAL – Mountain (12) – Dungeon (13)

Difficulty: 9
Noble dragons coat their scales in molten gold in order to armour themselves while
protecting their eggs. When it’s time for the parents to switch protector and hunter,
they scrape the gold off, leaving bits behind.

Cold Iron – METAL – Shimmersnow (8) – Strange (5)

Difficulty: 8
Eons of cold has set into this ore, chilling it beyond the heat of any mere
blacksmith’s furnace. Considered one of the hardest metals in all the lands.

Recyled Remnants – METAL – Workshop (1) – Village (3)

Difficulty: 4
It takes a crafty eye to know the difference between junk and stuff waiting to be
reborn. Old tins, tools, pipes, all are potential works of art in the right hands.

Holy Platinum – METAL – Mountain (11)

Difficulty: 12
Sometimes referred to as Paladin Steel, this holiest of metals was apparently placed
upon the earth in the tears of some ancient god. Jewellers love it.

Coral Steel – METAL – Depths (7)

Difficulty: 6
Strange beasts lurk in the depths of the loch and this one is no different. Somehow
it makes a natural metal shell around itself that can be harvested without harming
the wee beastie.

Cave Copper – METAL – Dungeon (5)

Difficulty: 4
A favourite of the Artificer, going by its prevalence in the automatons. Most
consider this a working metal but it can be pretty enough if treated right.

17
 Woods
Dryad Bark – WOOD – Forest (10) – Bog (13)
Difficulty: 10
Always get permission when harvesting a dryad’s bark as they are not keen on
thieves and you do not want the forest to be angry with you!
How do you convince the dryad to give you some bark?

Driftwood – WOOD – Loch (3)

Difficulty: 3
Smoothed by the waves and the sand, this wood has a special texture and is full of
memories.

Float Wood – WOOD – Isles (9)

Difficulty: 5
Imbued with the same magic as the Isles that birthed it, this wood floats gently in
the air like driftwood in the clouds.

Mimic Shavings – WOOD – Dungeon (13)

Difficulty: 2
Mimics trim their woody carapace to blend in with their surroundings, if gathered
fresh enough their shavings will blend in with whatever object they are attached to.
You may choose another WOOD, METAL, or Material in the Project and
have the Mimic Shavings turn into that instead.

Coffin Wood – WOOD – Dungeon (2)

Difficulty: 3
While most undead won’t appreciate you taking their coffins, there are more than
a few left unclaimed.

Pineshroom – WOOD – Bog (7) (Unavailable in Summer)

Difficulty: 6
These tall fungi are as tough and fibrous as a pine tree a hundred times their
age… if you catch them at the right time of year. Otherwise they are soft as mush.

Starwood – WOOD – Ranges (13) – Isles (13)

Difficulty: 7
Legends say that eons ago a ship made of starwood with sails of pure night sailed
from another world and crashed in the Rannoc Ranges. A flight of fancy, surely?
Doubles in Value if paired with Starmetal (page 17) on a project.

18
Glimmerwood Oak – WOOD – Forest (7)
Difficulty: 5
The glittering wood of Glimmerwood is famous across the world for the magical
qualities the fairies and fae folk imbue it with.

Thornwood – WOOD – Dungeon (4)

Difficulty: 10
Sharp and reclusive, few people use thornwood as it is a nightmare to work with.
Inevitably, this has led to well crafted thornwood being laden with praise by other
makers.
Gain an extra Craft Level if successfully shaped and utilised in your project.

Wood Scraps – WOOD – Village (3)

Difficulty: 4
Old milk crates, broken skis, snapped shields, wherever you look there’s always a
bit of old wood that can be recycled into something new!

Ancient Wood – WOOD – Glen (9)

Difficulty: 8
Tough and unusual, this wood is unlike anything else found in the Rannoc
Ranges.

Frozen Willow – WOOD – Valley (5)

Difficulty: 8
Icy cold and frozen solid, these special trees are a nightmare to cut down but well
worth it for their strength!

Highland Pine – WOOD – Ranges (5)

Difficulty: 5
A common wood among the Rannoc Ranges. Very common as a building material,
especially among the newer villages who don’t have the patience to work stone.

Wyrd Wood – WOOD – Hold (13) – Dungeon (13) – Village (13)

Difficulty: 13
Rare and thankfully so, this strange wood constantly changes shape until the
minute it meets flame at which point it sticks to its shape no matter what you do to
it.
You must draw a King in order to shape this WOOD correctly but if you
succeed, it adds 50 to the Value of the project.

19
 Pigments
Coldrust Blue – PAINT – Ranges (7) – Dungeon (7)
This magical mould grows on metal rich stones, chilling the air around it as it
spreads. When mixed properly, it makes a beautiful blue.
Allows the use of the colour Blue.

Ghost Green – PAINT – Dungeon (8) – Village (13) – Depths (9)

When ghosts and phantoms pass through solid matter, they leave behind a viscous
substance that still baffles the wizard community. Makes a good green paint.
Allows the use of the colour Green

Gunpowder Black – PAINT – Isles (10) – Loch (11)

All the boats that Bàs Bàta has sunk over the years have at least one barrel of now-
useless gunpowder. Too wet to explode it nonetheless makes a great black paint.
Allows the use of the colour Black

Sun Petal Yellow – PAINT – Forest (9) – Mountain (13)

These beautiful flowers absorb sunlight all Summer so that they may glow with it
throughout Winter.
Allows the use of the colour Yellow.

Starlight Pigment – PAINT – Ranges (9)

Glittering and gleaming in the caves of the Rannoc Ranges, this peculiar pigment
was used by the ancient highlanders to great effect. Colour wise it’s a light blue.
Allows the use of the colour Blue.

Blood Meal Red – PAINT – Bog (9) – Loch (7)

It’s not always best to learn how the sausage is made. Look for leech dens and you’ll
find piles of this pigment waiting to be harvested. Makes a great red once cleaned.
Allows the use of the colour Red.

Orange Mould – PAINT – Forest (11)

This slime mould grows on the side of fallen trees where it eats away at the rotting
bark. Very good for pigment but don’t take too much, it has an important job to do!
Allows the use of the colour Orange.

Fairy Glitter – PAINT – Forest (13)

Shimmering dust falls from fairy wings like dandruff from that head of yours.
While it has a little use medically, the older glitter can be used for decoration.
Increases the Value of a Painting by 5.

20
 Pigments

a magic of their own that the druids are loathe to share.

Old sail can be found on sale all over the Rannoc Ranges but you can cut out the
middle merchant and just collect it from the loch yerself.

Old Bones – ANIMAL – Dungeon (7) – Forest (9)

Necromancers absolutely love the grim look that skulls and ribcages give but you
can find bones being used in all manner of things that don’t look “necromantic”.

liquid crystals that shimmer and change colours. If you collect it in time, it makes
a beautiful shine.

that don’t mean there’s no danger. Bee very careful when collecting from a hive!

Azure stone with veins of white, this stone is said to have been brought over from
the Fae-Lands by elves long ago. Not much remains of it now though.

beasts but know where to look and you can find some pieces that have broken

The floating islands of the Cloud Isles are full of a powerful magic that, if worked
correctly, allows for the creation of floating sculptures that are highly sought after
in the city.

The dwarves went wild looking for these a few years ago, I’m still not sure why as
it fills all who look upon it with a sense of longing and loss.

Mood Stone – JEWEL – Forest (9) – Village (12)

Most folk love these jewels as they change colour depending on the mood of the
person touching it. Though there are disagreements about what the colours mean.

This bright jewel contains the fury of a thunderstorm within it making it
incredibly dangerous to work with and therefore, very valuable.

gemstone that can make projects look just that little bit fancier.

Scout’s Stone – JEWEL – Dungeon (8) – Depths (9)

These colourful gemstones can come in many different forms but share one unique
characteristic, they glow when near certain things. With a little bit of magical
coaxing, you can train the stone to sense whatever you so desire.
Can be used to make a project for yourself that lowers the Foraging Value
of a type of Reagent by 1. Choose PLANT, ANIMAL, JEWEL, etc

Ancient Amber – JEWEL – Glen (11)

Formed millions of years ago, this fossilised tree sap sometimes contains insects,
bones, scorpions, or feathers. Certain folk go crazy for it.

♥ or ♦ – It contains an ancient thing! This piece has an extra 5 Value
♣ or ♠ – Nothing inside but still very beautiful.

and it’s not hard to see why.

colour of the rainbow and many more besides. Be careful of its latent magic.

 Masterpieces
When you first start out with each hobby it’ll feel like you’ll never become
a Master but trust your gut and you’ll reach that lofty title in no time.

Once you’ve acquired all the right Tools and Upgrades, you’ll be able to
undertake a Masterpiece. Completing a Masterpiece is how you get that
title and they often come with a helpful reward to boot.

Each hobby’s Masterpiece is listed below along with the Tools you’ll need
to create it; the Materials you’ll need to collect; and the benefit it provides
once made.

Painting – Painter’s Portal

Many paintings are lauded as windows into other worlds but very few
actually reach that level. In order to reach the rank of Master, you will have
to paint a portal to the Painted World.

Requires: 20 PAINTS & Inspiration & Unicorn Hair Brush

Benefit: You may explore the Painted World Locale (page 30 & 31)

Jewellery Making – A Witch’s Gift

It is the greatest honour of a witch to give a newborn child safety and a

magical gift. The form of the gift matters not but its power is important. Be
sure to give them something that will benefit them, lest ye make us all look
bad!

Requires: 1 Birth Stone & 1 Magicite with a positive effect

Benefit: Gain 10 Reputation and become the child’s Godparent. What

becomes of the child as they grow up? How do you and the parents get on?

This provides a great opportunity for a future playthrough as you could play as
this child after your current witch goes missing.

28
Woodworking – Soul Bound Wand

Most witches can make wands and most wood workers can make pretty
looking sticks but only a true master of magic and woodcraft can make a
wand worthy of binding one’s soul to.

Requires: Any WOOD & 1 Magicite with the Magic Source effect

Benefit: You are able to extract purer effects from MAGIC Reagents.
Increase the Potency of all MAGIC Reagents by 1. How does it feel to have
a proper wand? What changes can you feel in your magic?

Blacksmithing – Arcane Aegis

There are many who consider the greatest feat of blacksmithing to be a

sword that can cut stone like paper but we are not in the business of harm.
No, the greatest blacksmithing creation is a shield that can protect from
any and all harm.

Requires: 1 Mythril & 1 Star Metal & 1 Holy Platinum

Benefit: You may ignore up to 3 Events per Forage. What does this
magical shield look like? How does it protect you?

Sculpting – Animal Golem

Many sculptors consider a Masterpiece to be something beautiful,

something that could be considered art and while that is one way of doing
it, a true test of a witch sculptor’s skills is that of an animal golem, a stone
beast that lives as much as you or your Familiar.

Requires: 10 STONE & 1 Heartfire Ruby

Benefit: Gain a second Familiar. Go through the Familiar making process

to determine its shape and Skill (Apothecaria, page 10). What quirks does
it have? What is its name?

Unfortunately, it is very much alive and still can’t be used at the same time
as your usual Familiar.

29
 The Painted World
Accessible once you have made the Painting Masterpiece (page 28)
A living pocket realm of painted things. Arcane artists from across the
world come here to make their mark and contribute to the evergrowing
painted landscapes and to express themselves in ways they normally can’t.

You come across a painted creature, impossible in our own world

without some serious magical interference. What is it? What effect
A
does it have on the painted world around it?
Gain Inspiration (page 21) for your next project.

The landscape ends here, fading out in wide brush strokes onto a
2 white void. A voice urges you to create, to make something here.
What do you paint into the world? Decrease the Timer by 2.

You come across a scene that boggles the mind. Upside down
castles, melting clocks, elephants with snakes for trunks, whatever
3
it is it’s surreal. What do you see? How do you feel about it? What
do you think the original artist meant by it?

A painted person greets you and welcomes you like a tour guide.
They ask if you’d like to be shown around the beautifully detailed
4 painted city. If you agree, Decrease the Timer by 5 but gain 3 new
Paints. What interesting things did you see? What did the city look
like? What art style was it done in?

You hear a distant crying but when you get near all you find is a
childishly painted flower. Do you keep looking for the source? If so,
5 draw a Card and Decrease the Timer by its value. What other
childish clues do you find as you search for the lost child? How did
they get here? What do you do with them once you find them?

A voice calls out to you, it seems a painted person is stuck and

6 needs your help. What do you paint to help them out? How are
they stuck and how did they get into their current predicament?

30
 It seems you have an admirer as you come face to face with a
painted version of yourself. What features has your admirer gotten
7
wrong? Do you talk with your portrait self? How do you feel about
this doppelganger’s existence?

You are hailed by a painted person… no, an arcane artist? Somehow

this artist has painted themselves a new appearance. What do they
8
look like? Do you take the opportunity to paint an avatar of your
own to inhabit in this weird world? If so, what does it look like?

By sheer luck you’ve come across a famous landscape, people travel

from all over the world to view paintings of this place and you’re
9
actually in it! What is so special about it? Gain Inspiration (page
21) for your next project.

You catch some young witches painting vulgar things on someone’s

10
creation. Do you chase them off or leave them to it?

You see a floating frame much like the one you entered through.
Do you step through? If so, where do you end up? Do you meet
J anyone? How do you get home? Decrease the Timer by 3 if you do
but gain an “Exotic Material” which increases the Value of your
next project by 20.

Another arcane artist is exploring the Painted World and invites

you to join them on a walk as they show you the things they have
Q
created here. Who are they? What have they painted into the
world? Does the walk become something more?

The world shifts around you into colours new and more vibrant
than you’ve ever experienced before. From out of the beautiful
K chaos steps the Muse. They show you something that inspires you.
What is it?
Start a project related to this and increase its Value by 50.

 Commission Ideas
While generating Commissions, I thought it might be a good idea to give
some of the examples I thought of as a jumping off point for anyone who
has gotten a little stuck.

Adventurer + It’s A Secret + Painting – They have given me permission

to view a recurring dream of theirs via a spell and have asked me to paint it
as accurately as possible. For what reason, I do not know.

Traveller + For Fun + Blacksmithing – The long roads are boring

enough with nothing to do, so I have made them a Ye Olde Travel Games
kit with a pegged chessboard, ludo, and tafl!

Merchant + For Decoration + Sculpting – A witch knows magic and my

sculpture shows that. Made of Mimic Shavings and Dryad Wood this
mascot says slogans and deals to passersby. Sort of like those Singing Bass
trophies but *magical*

Famous Hero + For A Quest + Jewellery Making – Part of me wants to

reference Lord of the Rings but lets be original and say that they’re off to slay
some terrible beast and need protection. True Silver is a must for their
necklace in that case.

Witch + Fixing Broken Thing + Woodcraft – A great opportunity to

make a new friend as I repair her broken wand and chat over tea. How did
it get broken in the first place? A good story opportunity there!

Famous Hero + For Fun + Painting – It’s a portrait isn’t it? A self portrait
to commemorate their time in the Rannoc Ranges.

Foe + For Fighting + Blacksmithing – The Baron in Hero’s Hollow has

managed to lose its favourite sword and wants a new one. Dead Steel is
definitely getting used for such a creepy customer.

Witch + For Daily Use + Painting – A good artist can imbue a painting
with emotions, a witch can do much more. This painting invigorates any
who look upon it and gets our witch friend up and ready to start his day!

Feel free to include interesting magical effects in your creations, you are a
witch after all!
