Boon Requests
Hey, palhonchos, it's Christmas Boon time! Requests are up, which means the fairies and imps are out and about bothering people from their respective factions to note down the number one item on their wishlist again!
Wherever Shard-holder characters are in the Drabwurld, at some point today they will be approached by fairies or imps, depending on their alignment, bearing a piece of parchment and a quill. They will urge your character to write down a request for an item, power or favour from their monarchs in exchange for fighting or supporting their faction and they will take it away through a fairy-ring when it is written. There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:
This month, everybody qualifies for a boon! As an IC punishment to those who have kept their stars, anyone still in possession of one WILL NOT qualify for a boon, as stated by the monarchs ICLy on the 12th ("Champions who do not heed this request will forfeit their upcoming right to a boon. All are eligible save star-keepers.") Feel free to link to any threads (completed or ongoing) that will show your character getting involved in the event this month. Simply C&P the below into your comment:
If your character doesn't want to request a boon they may simply wave away the fairies/imps. It is not possible to "save up" Boon Requests for later events, so make sure to get yours in if you want one!

There are three easy rules your character will be informed MUST NOT be broken:
1) "Do not call for time and space to be bent to your will!"Essentially, the OOC boundaries relayed through IC means to your character are to avoid game-breaking demands being made. They will be approved, altered or denied here until 22nd July (00:01am LONDON GMT) so that when your character receives their boon on the morning of 23rd (you can pick any time for them to be delivered/show up) no matter where they are there is no fuss, no muss! The royal audiences are bi-monthly and the third is due to be held near the end of August, which the fairies and imps will also be informing people.
2) "You may not request another's true love or devotion!"
3) "Ask not for a road home or the loved ones whence you came!"

The imps carry to her an ancient and crumbling scroll; sufficiently studying it, over time, will allow Alexia to manipulate metal using only the exertion of her willpower. Unfortunately, at its beginning, this power will be relatively weak: she would be able to halt knives and swords, and lift nothing heavier than a book.
no subject
As a few on-the-way questions, however, what might be on the scroll? Words, or images/patterns/etc.? If they are words, would they be in a language any other Travelers or the fae would recognize? If images, would it be possible to notice some particular theme or pattern or anything of special significance/prominence in it?
Finally! If she were to hold onto the scroll and eventually see if studying it works for someone else after the effect sets in, would it work for them, too, or would the magic be exhausted/the scroll in too-bad shape for anyone to get anything out of it?
(These questions are deliberately overthinking and I am not expecting anything lasting to come of 'em and thus I am all the more sorry.)

The words will be placed in a blocky script and slightly archaic pattern which would suggest it might have been translated by a dwarf, or originally written in a dwarven dialect. However, the author's stamp will be the crude likeness of a songbird.
Were she to give it to anyone outside the local librarian, the text would revert to its native language, indecipherable to anyone else but herself who isn't familiar with the more archaic local languages.
