Some of Light Flight's finest archaeologists have been sending out expeditions to recover artifacts from the Hewn City this summer. They've been able to collect a few chests, but the items they find inside have them stumped. Were these artifacts that fell apart? Were these items no more than an eccentric hoarder's collection? Perhaps they were mementos of an ancient traveler!
They need outside help if they're going to figure out what these things are. Will you help them identify the items?

Each day, from the beginning of the push week to the end of the fest week, a new prompt will be given, providing participants with a list of five items. Using [b]at least one[/b] of these items, you must create an entry in the medium of your choice, in any manner that you choose. Accepted formats include, but are not limited to:
[list]
[*]Digital art
[*]Traditional art
[*]Fiction
[*]Poetry
[*]RP responses
[*]Crafts
[/list]
Any quality work is accepted. Entries do not need to be lore-compliant.
While the main idea is to recreate artifacts or identify their use in ages long past, [b]creative interpretations will be accepted[/b]. (For example, if your dragon would rather eat the recovered items, that is acceptable.)
Please use the default font style and size when posting. You can change the color of the text, but please keep it dark. This keeps it accessible for all the judges.
Prompts will open a few hours early, and early submissions will be accepted. Prompts will close after rollover after the given day. For example, a prompt for June 25 will open late on June 24, but will still close 00:40 on June 26, allowing 10 minutes after rollover for late entries.
Prompts will be presented in an RP style, but [b]it is not necessary for entrants to roleplay[/b]. An OOC reminder of the rules will be provided next to each prompt.

Freddie the Snapper sighed, setting himself down beside the table. "I take it you've never heard of the War of the Endless Night."
At the attendant's inquisitive look, he sighed once again. "Let me tell you the tale...
"It was a terrible war. They never talk about it these days; it puts a bad light on the Nocturnes of the Light Flight. Long story short, the poor things frightened the daylights out of the guardians of the Hewn City--Imperials, every last one of them. They attacked, driving out the Nocturnes easily. Oh, but when the Nocturnes returned, things changed.
"They came with armor and far better weapons a few days later. The Imperials were driven back to the gates, and while they managed to fight off their assailants, they could hardly count it as a victory."
He sighed a third time, earning him an annoyed glance from the attendant. "Shells like this?" He poked at the large one on the table. "They were durable. Not something the Imperials had considered before, but now they had a need. They gathered shells and fashioned them into massive shields, gleaming yellow gems at their center. They won the war."
Freddie chuckled, looking out at the docks. "Hardly a win at all. They came to an agreement, and it turned out that the Nocturnes--"
Sizzle the Spiral, who had spotted Freddie only a minute ago, swooped over to him, jostling the attendant's table. "Freddie!" he exclaimed, practically bouncing in place. "Where've you been? Come on, pal, you can't keep doing this! You promised you'd help out Xena the Gladiator! Let's go!"
Freddie sighed for the fourth and final time. "I guess that means I'm done here. Lead the way."

A pair of soft, downy feathers. If you had these in a greater quantity they could be quite useful...

A broken bottle. Whatever it once held has been removed.
