Rivyn lounged in his workshop, the faint hum of his system screen a backdrop to his quiet contemplation. The bow he had crafted was steadily climbing in price on the auction, and he was satisfied with the progress. The hours spent meticulously shaping it, infusing the arcane thread, and polishing it to perfection had paid off.
A notification ping broke his focus. Expecting another mundane offer or commission request, Rivyn opened the message absentmindedly.

Sender: Ardon]
