Auction List
Lesser Cheetah Cloak of the Amedio: A rare cloak from the jungles of a world known as Oerth. This cloak is primarily valued for the enchantments which aid its wearer in avoiding damaging effects with superior reflexes. Starting auction price will be 10,000 solars, estimated value is at least five times higher than this.
Courtier's Obi: These silken sashes from the distant land of Rokushima Taiyoo are highly valued by diplomats for their ability to aid and lend credence to their attempts to influence others. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, estimated value is more than ten times higher than this.
Swordsman's Belt: A rare belt from the world of Toril, it was worn by a knightly order known as the "Purple Dragon Knights", and protects from slicing and slashing attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; previous auctions have seen such items sell within the region of 100,000 to 200,000 solars.
Brawler's Belt: Another rare belt from Toril, created by a monastic order who wished to gain an unfair advantage over their competition; this belt protects from bludgeoning and bashing attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, previous auctions have seen this item sell upwards of five times this price. Consider pairing these with the Helm of Nobility.
Archer's Belt: A third rare belt from Toril, created by shamanic powers to protect against archer raids. This belt protects from poking and piercing attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, previous auctions have seen this item sell upwards of five to ten times this price.
Stranger's Medallion: A Darkonese amulet valued by diplomats, merchants, and thespians for their ability to convince and enhance appearances. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, the true value of these has not been tested thoroughly at auctions but is likely at least five to ten times greater.
Hector's Finger Bangle: These rings were created by the fabled adventurer Hector, and are very valuable to adventurers and trap-finders, enhancing one's senses to spot and search for threats. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, though these rings easily sell for 100,000 solars or more.
Goggles of Minute Seeing: Created by Outlander savants, these goggles greatly improve close-range vision, and are highly valued by explorers and archaeologists. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars, but these rare goggles are likely worth at least ten to twenty times more.
Helm of Nobility: This noble's helmet protects against arrow fire and other such stabbing, poking, or piercing attacks, but renders the wearer more vulnerable to attacks from slow, heavy, bludgeoning attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; this helm's value is not well known in the current market, and may present an opportunity to the interested buyer! Consider pairing this with the Gobalski Bracers or Brawler's Belt.
Herbert's Ring of Resilience: Invented by the magician Herbert, these valuable rings are highly prized by battle mages and other front-line spellcasters, enhancing both their concentration and discipline to prevent the distractions and pains of battle from affecting them.

Gobalski's Bracers: A pair of bracers from Vorostokov made by a Vos bear-hunter and wrestler, these bracers offer protection from heavy bludgeoning attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; more highly prized than the Brawler's Belt, as they may be combined with the Archer's Belt or Swordsman's Belt. Consider pairing these with the Helm of Nobility too.
Midnighter's Cloak: A cloak useful for duellists and other fighters who depend upon a parrying style. Though not as good as the best enchanted cloaks, they remain valued by up-and-coming adventurers. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; a potential deal in the making.
Gauntlets of Tuning: These gauntlets are prized by those arcanists whose talents rely on song and music. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; their value will no doubt be determined by the number of such arcanists currently seeking a pair. If there are few, there is definitely the potential for a good deal here.
Crest of the Desfrayas: These amulets are carried off by Falkovnian pillagers from the land of Borca as war prizes. They render their wearer immune to all known poisons. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars.
Ebon Tiger Belt: This belt made of Ebon Tiger fur is renowned for its ability to help its wearer avoid notice; paradoxically therefore they require little introduction, as they will certainly be in high demand.

Robes of Keis: These rare robes are highly prized for their ability to impart upon the wearer the ability to evade and dodge all manner of hostile attacks. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars.

Gloves of Feather Touch: These rare gloves are highly valued by those who require fine motor skills and finesse in their work. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars; anything under 20,000 solars is likely a steal. (Removed)
Juggernaut's Crown: This heavy helm is made of adamantium, and protects its wearer from bludgeoning and bashing attacks to the head. Starting auction price will be 5,000 solars.
Belt of Inertial Barrier: This rare outreterrien belt comes from Toril, and bears a powerful enchantment offering resistance to both bashing, bludgeoning attacks, and cutting, clashing strikes, at the cost of a vulnerability to piercing shots and stabs. This is traditionally combined with the Helm of Nobility.
Chunk of Rajian Ebony: One chunk of this rare Rajian wood is offered for sale. We have already received strong attention for this item; the floor bid will be set at 250,000 solars.

Auction Rules
1. Standard Dementlieuse auction law applies: all bids made are assumed to be in good faith, and a winning bid represent a legally-binding oral contract between bidder and auctioneer. Failure to uphold a bid represents a breach of contract and may be pursued as a civil tort by the harmed party or parties.
2. A minimum bid increase amount will be set during each round of bidding, set by the auctioneer, which may increase; generally, this will be 1,000 solars, or 5% of the current bid (rounded down to the nearest thousand), whichever is higher. The auctioneer will announce when this quantity increases. Bids that do not meet this minimum increase are considered void.
3. Poor behaviour on the part of a bidder, such as making excessive nuisance bids (e.g. bidding below the minimum increase as set out in section 2 above) or demonstrating continued poor decorum, may see a bidder asked to leave the auction, at the auctioneer's discretion. Such a request will not nullify the bidder's rights to fulfil previously established winning bids, as outlined in section 1 above, unless they refuse to abide by the auctioneer's authority and leave: failure to leave upon being requested to do so may result in the bidder being reported for criminal trespass, and all their previous winning bids to be considered null and void.
