Editing Dynasty & Decadence/Alaric (section)

===Artifacts===

* '''Danaa'd's Infinite Reach (Artifact 3)''' - Forged by the legendary craftsman Tokuga Harima, this pair of black jade Guantlets of Distant Claws were presented as a gift to the Empress shortly after the founding of the Realm when Harima's daimyo pledged loyalty.  Regardless of their surroundings, the claws are always cool to the touch and smell faintly of the sea.  The wave patterns etched into the handguards sometimes seem to move of their own volition, and more than a few monks over the years have found them a wonderful meditation aid.  The Empress presented the claws as a gift to the Order more than 500 years ago, and they were granted to Alaric for his use when he was appointed a Celestially Guided Itinerant by the Mouth of Peace.  (Standard stats for Gauntlets of Distant Claws)
* '''The Imbalanced Flames (Artifact 2)''' - Given to Alaric by his teacher after he mastered the Water Dragon Style, this pair of red jade hearthstone bracers was meant to remind Alaric of the difficulty of being out of harmony with his own nature, but also a reminder that, just as he had mastered Water Dragon Style and brought peace to his elemental nature, so too could he find resolution to his inner struggles.
* '''Reinforced Robes (Artifact 1)''' - The life of an itinerant monk can be a difficult one, and no matter one's skill at martial arts, sometimes a blow is going to land.  While not offering as much protection as a buff jacket, these robes are woven with jade to make them more resilient to damage (identical stats to a chain shirt).
