Prosperity's Boon

“Shining Gliss steining, runesmith of the mark,

Lit sparks of prosperity, bright in the dark, While she held shining steel, gave her life for her kin, She wove ritual words to bring great harvests in. This balance is key for the might of our home, For there are both heroes of field and of loam. Though gliss, small fruit did her ambition yield Ensured these bright crystals Prosperity build. “

Shining Glass Steining

Prosperity's Boon is found in Hahnmark near Old Woodhall not far from the Dunsfall Sinkhole. It is positioned near both the hall of Hendal Hearth and New Dunhall, close to both the Valley of Pride, Vale's Might, Fallsheart Cave, and Dunfirth.

This Boon itself stands on the hillside between the Valley of Pride and Vale's Might. It takes the form of a roofed stone hall covering a shallow, natural amphitheatre and the spring that bubbles at it's centre. Crystals form on tiers of stone steps inlaid with mithril that stagger the inside of the building. Two huge doors allow access to the inside for the custodian to collect the growing crystals. To either side of the gates are granite statues of an armoured Steinr naga, the fallen hero known as “Shining Gliss Stiening”. Each statue presents a shield against an unseen enemy, her sword ready to strike with all her might. Upon the gate posts etched into the stone there is a poem about Shining Gliss Stiening.

The sinecure is a strong imposing structure with the runes of Pallas etched upon the doors and flaming baziers upon the walls. The runes of autumn are carved upon the stone cross beam above the main gates along with the words “This statue stands in remembrance, So future generations know that the hero’s of the past have fallen to give them and the empire a future. This is a testament to the virtues of the empire that empower and drive us all.”
