[Mist] Names for artifacts needed!

[Mikko Lehtinen]

Bonus to Alchemy and Spell Resistance, obviously. I like it.

Intelligent gloves that are animated by the spirit of a long-dead alchemist.

Balin Bonehead was slightly too dumb.

Let's try Scarhead:
The Spiked Leather Boots of Balin Scarhead

No, he's not a Harry Potter fan. He's a mean and dimwit half-ogre warrior from Skultgard.

Gorgon's Head changed to Gorgon's Face to avoid having two artifact names with similar ending.

If you want to suggest a scarred face, "Scarbrow" sounds a little less like a child's insult...
I like Balin Left-Eye too ... "There are no records of anyone that survived asking Balin what happened to the right one."

Left-Eye it is! Thanks. Catching nyances like that is tough for a non-native speaker.

Left-Eye it is!

Happy to be of help

Looking in the list, "Cosmic Egg" also sounds a little juvenile to me... maybe "Cosmic Dome" instead? It fits the shape of a cap anyways.

If the Hard Leather Boots aren't taken, I have a couple of suggestions there too.
Longstride (+speed)
Cripple's Limp (-speed, +blows)

[Mikko Lehtinen]

Cosmic Egg is juvenile on purpose. The name is a shaman's prank, probably. In shamanistic tradition, the world is born out of a cosmic egg.

Longstride sounds a bit too generic, more like an ego item than an artifact. I don't really like the mechanics of -speed and +blows.

[Mikko Lehtinen]

Would 'Swan's Egg' be better? In Kalevala, the world is born out of a swan's egg.

Okay, here are the names for the last two artifacts:

The Soft Leather Armour of Morphoses. (It might be a really good armour that sometimes shapeshifts you at random. Or maybe it gives extra bonuses while you are shapeshifted.)

The Hard Leather Boots of Wanderlust.

Thanks for your help, everybody! I really love this list of names, ranging from comical to solemn.

Many names are so mysterious that the player will have a hard time guessing the effects -- good. I hope that the majority of players will not cheat by reading the edit files. Using Circles of Knowledge is much more fun (and easier than in previous versions).
