I think he called them Eldren?Hey Krusty I found something..."Artifacts are superficially similar to the epic magic items that epicmortals possess. However, the former, as extensions of a deity’s will cannotbe simply sundered, but instead must be un-made (involving anexpenditure of quintessence equal to its creation)." - KrustyThis is an excerpt from ascension.Epic mortals possess epic items that are only superficially similar to artifacts? I thought that epic magic items and artifacts were supposed to be the same thing, not two different things entirely.My brain nearly seized up when I caught that sentence under the ARTIFACTS section of Ascension.With that particular wording you clearly separate artifacts from epic magic items. Which is contradictory to all your earlier statements about them being the same thing.I'm going to assume for now that it was a clerical error. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />There was something else I noticed.Artifacts require quintessence to create (as stated in the rules for destroying them). 1. How does an epic mortal go about making artifacts (epic magic items) if they are not a deity?2. Is an artifact a soul object since it requires quintessence to be constructed?3. If artifacts are not soul objects, why would someone make artifacts when they can just make soul objects?4. Or, why would, someone not just collect deities with Double (Object) portfolios?5. Do soul objects (avatars and aspects in artifact form) count against your artifact total? If so...why should they? They are avatars and aspects. Free-willed entities that have no reliance upon you at all to exist.Just some things I noticed.</blockquote>
