What happens: Quill can cut the wyrm plate but won't set it in silver; Harl can set it but won't cut mirror-glass. Carried between the two rows, the plate becomes a Still-Water Locket, a silver locket holding a disc of water that has never rippled, which helps its wearer hold their breath. Each craftsman pretends not to know the other's work is in it.

A sigil of your own: Quill offers to help design the protagonist's Facet sigil from two unlike shapes. Wearing it changes how Facet NPCs greet them; Evane gatekeepers notice too.

From Walkthrough: Prologue and Act 1 › Hooks for side content

Names that collided across walkthroughs were changed in VEL-63: the Halfway gate's Facet is Wren (Pell is Act 2's sealed runner), the Amber Row's glyph-giver is Nell (Mott is Act 3's Undermere door), and the Waymaker drover on the Sallow Road is Jory (Jory is Act 3's old bell-ringer). Halfway and road names now: Hollin Tace, Sef, Wren, Bram Tolley, Hob, Orla, Harl, Quill, Nell, Ulla Stroud, Dorrit Mallow, Jory. The currency is copper, items use the items tab's catalogue ids, and enemies (glint, tamsin_ring, sallow_wyrm) use the bestiary's.
