Algari Fencepost

Algari Fencepost is a five-foot timber stake, weathered to a warm honey-brown by years of wind and rain. The wood is alder, with visible rings and a stubborn, grainy texture that catches the light. Atop the post sits a dented iron cap, wrapped in a ring of copper that shows green patina from exposure. Carved along the length are fine runes—slender lines in cobalt that glow faintly at night when moonlight touches them. The lower third bears the Algari crest, a stag leaping above a field, though the engraving has worn smooth with time. Set into the earth with deliberate steadiness, the fencepost looks less like a boundary marker and more like a quiet oath settled into the ground. Lore ties the post to a night when a caravan master saved a stag from winter’s snows; grateful smiths supposedly bound the oath into the wood so the post would remember the land it defends. Travelers report that the glyphs stir softly in the dark, lifting a halo of light toward safe routes and guiding livestock away from danger. Whether myth or memory, the Algari Fencepost carries a sense of permanence that inspires care in those who stake fences around homesteads and camps. In practical terms, the item is a robust boundary component with practical bonuses. When used in perimeter construction, the post reduces wear on adjacent timbers and helps hold fences taut against wind and animal pressure. The runes grant a modest morale aura to nearby NPCs and travelers, decreasing the chance of livestock escapes during inclement weather. It can host a simple rune gem to trigger a night-light or an alarm, making early warning tangible on patrols. For large ranches, caravan stops, or forest outposts, placing several Algari Fenceposts along the boundary yields noticeable savings in upkeep and faster project completion. Collectors prize the look and lore of the post, and craftsmen sometimes incorporate it into decorative gates or sacred corners of a settlement. It also features in restoration quests that reward maps or caches when the boundary is correctly reestablished. The most practical benefit remains its aura of stability: properly arranged posts reduce fence failure during storms and long traffic days.
