Lux of Arx: An Unofficial Guide to the Notable Products of Arx by Type and Region


When I roleplay, I like to give flavor to the things I use as props--from food to drink, from metal to jewelry, from horses to artwork, I find it more interesting to roleplay something from a specific region rather than as a generic item. Thus, I've created this guide if other people want to do the same. There are a few important caveats before we begin:

  1. Saying something is "the best" does not make it so. All judgment is subjective.
  2. Saying your region is noted for something (good or bad) doesn't necessarily make it so. You might think Krispy Kremes are the best donuts in the world, but there are lots of regions that have never heard of your kind of donut.
  3. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. Add to it, or add your own spin on such things in roleplaying.
