[@TemplarKnight07] I forget what the ruling is on whether artifacts are permitted in general without prior consultation with [@LadyRunic].  But they are basically full characters in their own right, if they are powerful enough (even if not generally independently mobile) and certainly they have a will of their own.  I question whether the Queen of Winter would give anyone such an item (or such a rank, really, but it might have been a formality to start) without first ensuring his unwavering loyalty, though I suppose that might have been part of the spell she set on Dagon.  [@Belle], if that's the case, it might be interesting to see if we can thaw /Dagon/'s heart too....

[@PrinceofSeraphs] Now I'm getting ideas for Spring trying to find the key first, and trading it to Fall, because...well, Falk does want it.  I wonder if he'd bother accepting, instead of refusing to deal with them and instead taking what might be significantly longer on his own.  *wiggles*  It's an amusing thought.  And then maybe they give it to Summer, if Feoras might be willing to cause trouble for Winter by using it on Dagon -- possibly as payback if we blame Winter/manipulate Winter into being involved in aging Lyra!  *flailing*  THE POSSIBILITIES~
