Seal of Beauty

The Seal of Beauty can be found on the way to the top of Avechna's Peak, in the Cave of Beauty. The Seal of Beauty is a rose gold disc, approximately the size of a small shield. Runes are etched around its rim that glow with an inner power. In the centre of the shield is the image of an eye, the iris of which is a light lavender flecked with gold. Disturbingly, the eye lazily glances around itself, occasionally shutting in a dramatic wink. The seal floats in the air of its own power and thrums with a lifeforce that makes the very air around it blur.

The Seal of Beauty, like all of the Living Seals, is composed of and empowered by the divine essence of the Vernal Gods; in this case, the Seal belongs to Vestera, the Dreamweaver.

When the Seals are weakened, the mortals of Lusternia participate in a series of challenges designed to restore their power. In the end, just one mortal holds the Staff of Ascension and becomes a God. During this event, mortals participate in the Challenge of Beauty, the trade cartels of the Basin choose one design to submit for consideration, and the artist who created the chosen design is the winner.
