This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Okay. Today we’ve got stuff up for auction that, doesn’t really fit into any of the other blogs.
Among other things, we’ve got limited edition art from Neil Gaiman and Vincent Chong, signed bookplates from Pratchett and Robert Jordan, and the Arkenstone.
Yeah. Seriously. The Arkenstone.
- AUCTION: The Arkenstone replica from Badali Jewelry.
The folks at Badali Jewelry, the folks that created the Eolian’s talent pipes for me, have been officially licensed by Middle-earth Enterprises to create a replica of the Arkenstone of Thrain.
Your Akenstone replica is made of fine K9 Crystal treated with an Aurora Borealis plating to give the stone a magical glow. The stone is nestled on a black velvet pillow inside a Dwarven crafted chest. The runes on the outside of the chest read Arkenstone, written in the same Dwarvish runes found on Thorin’s Map.
Many thanks to Badali Jewelry for this cool donation.
You can bid on this Arkenstone replica here.
- AUCTION: Miss Austen Literary Pin-up Giclee by Lee Moyer.
In this numbered giclee print, (#2 of 4) by Lee Moyer we have the early version of the art that eventually became November’s pin-up in the calendar we printed up for this year’s fundraiser.

- AUCTION: Signed bookplate by Robert Jordan.
This bookplate bears the signature of Robert Jordan, the late author of the Wheel of Time series as well as many other books.

I want it all! The Last Unicorn always seems to have a hold on me.
Wow, the folks donating are generous and have exquisite taste!
I’ve got to go bid…
Agreed! – Exquisite taste! So much good stuff…
I read the post originally as Murderous Auctions. Where has my reading comprehension gotten to?
I think e-bay has rules against those….
Regarding the Robert Jordan bookplate, it was also signed by Branden Sanderson at Penguicon this year. That’s his squiggle up top =)
Sorry, make that last year…. Penguicon is not till April again this year….
Fucking Arkenstone!!!
Okay, slightly overwhelmed by awesome there…
My exact words were “Holy Jesus Shit!”
I feel ya, hahah.
The Lord´s excrements are fearsome
Hey Pat,
Did you know that George R.R. Martin is recommending people nominate WMF for the Hugo’s Best Novel? Preeeeeeetty neat.
Just saw that on his Not a Blog. He has some lovely things to say about Pat and the book.
I thought that was pretty great. It also had about ten of my friends calling me asking me “Isn’t that the book you are incessantly babbling about.” Sure they don’t trust my opinion but George R.R. Martin…
I guess I can’t blame them on that.

Since I am following both yours (aka Patrick Rothfuss’s) and George Martin’s blog I noticed it as well.
