The Horned Censer, much like other censers holds an almost sinister visage of a face. This one in particular has four horns protruding from its top layer. It’s glossy iridescent colors are what tend to attract attention, giving it an almost otherworldly presence. Like all censers, this one has a long hidden past that has been forgotten by the modern age.

Lanterns made in the style of of the the buildings found in the Tiaugican Highlands on Niuchus.

Censer

The censers are an enigma within the three living worlds. They have been found across each planet, but no one knows their exact origin. They have a strange, otherworldly presence to them. From an age that has long past, these relics are often kept by the ruling class as a sign of prestige. Knowing nothing into the nature of their long forgotten history.

Box Lanterns

Another style of lanterns also found within the Highlands, but also within the surrounding areas of Niuchus. Sculptors and artisans began making these lanterns as a response to the  disappearances that began to occur. They were made to give light to those who were lost and keep hope alive that one day they would safely return.
