Artifacts are found across the lands of Middle-earth. Scholars have the ability to Track Artifacts and study them using a Scholar's Glass . Each Artifact can produce a small number of texts and trinkets during examination. Some Artifacts may also contain a candle or lamp that will assist the Scholar in studying, leading to a critical success during crafting. Only a scholar may use these materials in order to craft scrolls, books, and other items.
