Attune Cost: 4m<br>
Holds Farmer's Stone

Holds Iron Soul Stone

===Artifact ••• (moonsilver skyklaves)===
Attune Cost: 6m<br>
This pair of moonsilver daiklaves can also be thrown as if they were sky-cutters.

===Artifact •••• (moonsilver perfected kata bracers)===
Attune Cost: 8m<br>
Perfected kata bracers are prayer strips crafted of a single magical material and curled into bracers. The strips’ sutras are starmetal engravings. When the character activates a Form-type Charm, the sutras inscribed on the bracers glow and lift from the artifact to engulf the character in light for a brief moment. For the rest of the scene, he gains several benefits.

He adds her Essence to the accuracy, damage and defense of her unarmed attacks and of attacks made with the active Form-type Charm’s particular weapons. He may choose to inflict bashing or lethal damage at will and he may parry lethal attacks unarmed. In addition, moonsilver bracers provide him additional flexibility, so he ignores cover and shields.

===Manse • (Farmer's Stone)===
Any crops tended by the owner of this angular, pale blue spindle grow and bear unusually well. If these crops receive at least minimal water and care, they yield an unusually abundant and early harvest despite poor soil or weather. This hearthstone affects any size of farm, so long as the bearer regularly helps to tend it. 

The bearer may also aid a farm that he does not normally work by spending one full day tending it shortly after planting has taken place. When used in this fashion, the stone aids up to (bearer’s Essence) square miles. In either case, the stone only protects the crops from natural problems such as droughts, flooding, insects or blights. It provides no protection against armies burning or trampling the fields, although the stone would help the fields recover more rapidly than normal.

The manse is called [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Manses#The_Last_Homely_Home_.E2.88.82|The Last Homely Home]].

===Manse ••••• (Iron Soul Stone)===
This smooth, rounded gray stone looks like an ordinary rock with no special properties. However, it protects its bearer and everything he wears or carries from all effects of the Wyld. It also inflicts one level of aggravated damage every 5 ticks to any Wyld-touched creature (including the Fair Folk and mortals assimilated by the Wyld) who comes within five yards of the bearer. Wyld creatures killed by this deadly power vanish in a puff of fine dust.

All creatures associated with the Wyld can sense the stone’s deadly cold from 15 yards away. Also, all Fair Folk within a mile instantly sense if the bearer brings this stone into any portion of the Wyld deeper than the Bordermarches. Nearby Fair Folk may attempt to destroy the stone and its bearer, drive the bearer out of the Wyld, or simply flee, as they judge their strength compared to the stone’s bearer’s.

The manse is called [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Manses#Ebon_Obsidian_Redoubt_.E2.88.82|The Ebon Obsidian Redoubt]].

If Dhiren ever rolls a botch after applying bonus dice from this background, or if Dhiren rolls more successes than his Dodge MDV on a roll augmented by this background,  roll a d10; depending on the result, one of his past personalities will become dominant for 5 hours, or a number of hours equal to the number of threshold successes (over Dhiren's Dodge MDV), whichever is a shorter period of time.
