The magic did not choose the object. The object simply happened to be there.
In the Faewild, power moves through bargains. Two ancient courts — Glacemoor in the cold and Emberveil in the abundance — have negotiated the terms of their coexistence since before memory. Every agreement leaves a mark. Every binding needs a witness.
Sometimes that witness is an object.
A candle burning on the table when the Hollow Pact was renewed. A key left behind by someone who walked into a negotiation and did not walk out the same. An inkwell present when words were written that both courts immediately began to subvert.
The magic settled into these objects and stayed. They are not relics. They are Accords — each one carrying the story of a specific bargain, what was gained, what was surrendered, and what ordinary thing was never ordinary again.
Each Accord pen is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted resin fountain pen. No two are alike. None will be made again.
