8=l < Suppose I c001d grant you all witneighss to my magnificent visage 8=1 < I am Hephaestus 8=l < In my timeline, we won our game and became gods among gods in our world 8=l < My role is of fire and forging 8=l < I can create artifa% beyond your wild imagination [alt te%t: Photo of Heph at his forges in front of lava falls, holding a t001 and wearing a blacksmith's apron filled with more t001s.

8=l < A simple adornment that applies to the forehead like a circlet without a band 8=l < It uses magic to grant breath 8=l < I enjoy working with a variety of decorative metals and making jewelry like this that serves functionally

8=l < I will do my best to not look

"= oh, huh. i was more enamored by the mask. pssssh. but, that's cool, i guess. if i needed a breathing enchantment i would apply it to the neck, it's more thematic. ="

8=l < Technically it c001d be applied anywhere as it only needs skin contact 8=l < Neck is not a bad placement hoofever

"= or, say. the horns even, though. less thematic. it is more convenient, as it is out of the way. =" "= unless the positions. all. grant different meaning.. ="

8=l < Depends on the artifact, as placement can make a difference 8=l < For this instance it doesn't 8=l < As long as it cannot be accidentally removed by the wearer

"= hmm. interesting, i suppose, i'd have to learn more to truly have a conversation about this, eheheheh. it makes sense. do you have a personal favourite /ever/, rather than just a recent thing? ="

8=l < A creation I take utmost pride in is a halberd weapon I lovingly titled Rend 8=l < A god-killing weapon meant to drain magic and ichor and bottle it in the handle 8=l < Which drains the immortality out of a god and therefore makes them killable 8=l < It was used on my late wife and finally allowed our wretched union to break 8=l < How unfortunate it was that I was not the one to wield it against her

"= you scare me, haha. uh. i do not want to see that weapon. for now, eeeaaaah. =" "= uh, but i do think. that's a very cool thing. to make. but. ="

8=l < She had more than earned my ire, rest assured 8=l < I do not go killing gods willy-nilly 8=l < Or anyone for that matter 8=l < I trot a trail of nonviolence as best I can manage 8=l < Until I am pushed
