Title: Inscriptions on Artifacts
Post by: Digganob on December 24, 2023, 01:31:22 pm
Artifacts should have a chance to have various kinds of inscriptions carved upon them. For instance, a sword which has some short phrase, or random proverb or platitude, written somewhere on it, perhaps related to the creator's personality. I think this would do a lot to add flavor to artifacts.

They could also have some commemorative inscription, such as "in memory of (creator's friend or family)." Or even something relating to a worshipped deity.

These could have a lot of story-telling potential. They add another dimension to the personality expressed in each artifact.
