Artifacts are objects with magical properties. They are marked in RED (so they can be stolen) and BLUE (have magical properties, very rare). They work in Nordmark/north-zone during the day and everywhere after 21:00 in the night. They must at all times be kept in play, so do not hide them inside the tents or take them OFF. Sometimes the NPCs or players can gain immunity to some of the effects (with blessings for example). Their effects should be narrated by the wielder. Once you hear them say ARCANA you can not run away or cut them, the spell has already begun.
Sword of Persuasion

Once a day and once per night you can hypnotize one person to totally agree with you for 1 hour (you can not command the person to hurt themselves or others, or order them around, the victim just treats the sword owner very favorably).
The spell can only be cast in calm situation (not in battle) by holding the hilt in front of the victim using the word ARCANA saying:
“ARCANA – by the power of this sword you will consider me your best friend and agree to most of my suggestions for an hour”
Sword of Pain

Sword of Ancient Kings
The story said that whichever Westmarkian found the Sword of Ancient Kings is the only rightful ruler of Westmark.

It was luckily found by – now his Majesty – King Gabriel Wolfenshield.

Not all artifacts and quest items will appear in the game every year.
The Greycloaks
A new addition to the LARP – these cloaked figures are Game Masters there to oversee battles and offer support to players when needed. They can be seen roaming around the whole Gimle area throughout day and part of the night.
When you are IN-character treat them as unimportant background figures, someone you would not approach. They are non-intractable meaning you can not attack them or roleplay with them as character. You can however approach them as a player.
They are there to oversee mechanics, clarify confusion and answer questions you might have. Their word is rule.
