Character Building Event: Artifacts

    Hello everyone and welcome to the latest Character Building Event! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Minibuilds contest; we'll be announcing the winners a week from now, so keep an eye out! For this event, we're giving you a choice between two different options for your event build, both of which tie into the theme of utilizing Elder Scrolls artifacts.

    Option 1: Make a build that revolves around using one or more artifacts from Skyrim. Choices can be selected from UESP's list of Skyrim artifacts and list of Dragonborn artifacts.

    Option 2: Recreate one or more  TES artifacts in Skyrim. This can be a an artifact that was in a TES game other than Skyrim, such as Chrysamere, or a different version of an artifact that does appear in Skyrim, such as Oblivion's version of Chillrend. Choices can be selected from UESP's list of artifacts; just click on the A through Z links at the top of the page to read about them. Also feel free to check out Karver's Oblivion Artifacts Guide; here's Part 1 and here's Part 2.

    Rules and Requirements

    • Participants that are new to character building must read and understand both the Group Rules and Character Building Guide. I also recommend that you take a look at this Build Template in order to get a good idea of how to format your event build.
    • Your build must prominently feature at least one Skyrim artifact or recreate at least one TES artifact in Skyrim.
    • Let us know in the comments below if you are participating and what your artifact of choice is (along with which game it's from if it's an artifact that appears in multiple games) once you've decided on it (or let us know if it's a surprise build).
    • Your build must be posted between the 23rd of February, 12:00 AM EST and the 8th of March, 12:00 AM EST.
    • Your build must use the “Event Build:” prefix in its title rather than the normal “Character Build:” one.
    • Your build must have an event rank tag and use the Event:Artifacts tag. All other tags are allowed to be applied, with the exception of the rank tags for normal character builds.

    If you have any questions about the event then feel free to post them in the comments below and one of the CB hosts or someone else will answer it for you.

    Oh hell maybe... I don't know if I'll have the time but I'd love to get something done, I might even have an idea to run with. I don't have an artifact in mind (I might keep it a secret anyway) but sign me up

    Hmm, sign me up. I might recreate an artifact. Let me think, but sign me up first for an undecided artifact.

    someone please recreate the Ice Blade of the Monarch or the Ring of Khajiiti in one of the builds, that would be badass.

    I bet a lot of enchanting builds will come out of this. Speaking of builds, can I sign up R.E.D. for this? Her two-handed weapon will be the Ebony Blade and I plan on including Mephala into the backstory.

    Can we recreate more than one artifact?

    I think we already had a Ring of Khajiiti (Shinjin's Rahjin build).
