Twin Quills

Old version of Twin Quills

Extra Fields

Rating: 2

This exquisitely carved wooden quill holder holds two starkly white, identical quills. The carvings of the quill holder show two veiled women with wings, each sitting to the side of an indentation where an inkwell is to be placed. The pair of quills were crafted from feathers plucked from two captive Peri—a rare pair of twin sisters. The Sorcerer that captured the twins bound them to their respective quill. When an inkwell of sufficient quality is placed on the stand the ethereal Peri are roused from their slumber, and are bound to perform two services for whomever placed the inkwell.

  • The first sister's quill writes on its own, taking dictation and writing out letters, orders, and any other type of document or note requested of her in a neat and well-readable script. To most it seems as if the quill itself is moving around and writing, but those that are in tune with the occult might see fleeting glimpses of the outline of a winged woman holding the quill as she writes.
  • When a name and some form of address is written on a letter or envelope with the second sister's quill, she will take the missive and deliver it to the addressee. The missive will be delivered with the same speed as if it was delivered via contemporary post services. Though unlike most post services, the Peri sister will always be able to find the addressee. Even if the address if vague, though it must be good enough for a local postman to actually deliver the message, she will track them down eventually—the exact duration of the delivery is at the storyteller's discretion: delivering a missive to a vague or difficult to reach place might take longer. Once the missive is delivered, the Peri hurries back without delay to reunite with her sister. The Peri can be sent out to deliver a batch of letters, which she will then deliver in a smart order to minimize the delivery time.

Being ethereal beings, both sisters understand any mortal language, though they are not free to communicate beyond the minimum required to fulfil their tasks, or even alert others to their captive state.
