They've many a detail that would require otherwise excruciating efforts to replicate, but the Habitun take it to an entirely different level.>Observe on the page opposite, a rendition of one of the cult's wax seals. A multilayered lattice of different colors and minute details that took days of the most masterful of artisans continuous efforts to replicate on the book, and bear in mind that it is but a distorted reflection of the details found on a ring not even a thumb across.>We can only presume the colors and details were achieved through a multi-stamp process using different rings and waxes, which brings us to the truly stymying issue: no two seals are alike. This was discovered through a truly harrowing experience by one of our more adventurous agents[1], as his attempted forgery was found instantly despite being a perfect replica. Through another agent, we learned from the Habitun ambassador[2] that "The date was wrong", which stumped our scholars for ages. The most popular ongoing theory was that the signet ring holds details that change with the times at the very least, and can be deciphered only by a Habitun official.>Infiltration of Habitun's archives may just be the only way to truly learn how to crack their signet rings.1.
