Hired.
It appears as an Easter egg in Luthen Rael’s antique shop in Andor.
It reminds me of a Turner’s Cube. Which is just a pointless gee-gaw that machinists make to sharpen and show off their skills
In 1000 years people will find a land fill with fidget spinners and wonder the same.
Or they will immediately start fidgeting with them and inadvertently understand.
Which now leads me to believe these relics are merely copies of earlier relics that were copied from relics even earlier. Created only to be recreated as the echo of human curiosity.
The big bang was god dropping his dodecahedron fidget spinner
In fact, my hypothesis (it’s mine, you can’t have it) is that the Roman empire fell due to everybody being constantly distressed and distracted because they kept losing their fidget dodecahedrons all over Europe.
So you claim your hypothesis is nonfungible? Watch me funge up your hypothesis!
The Roman Plumbus.
Grok said it’s a weapon, so we can eliminate that one.
Almost anything is a weapon if you try.
There are far, far more things that cannot be a weapon than can be.
For instance, a single grain of sand.
With enough velocity it will still kill you.
Also gather more and heat them up.
“They built copper and iron shields, put sand into them, and heated them over hot fire so the sand became red-hot. By means of some mechanism they threw this sand at those who had fought bravest… The sand penetrated through the armour into the shirts, burned the body, and it could not be helped… they died, going mad with horrible pain, in sufferings piteous and unquenchable.”
a single grain of sand.
In space, accelerated to sufficient relative velocity, that’s more than adequate as a weapon.
Iirc that’s actually the premise of how a lot of guns in Mass Effect work. A mass effect field is induced with Element Zero (unobtanium plot device) which allows you to alter the apparent mass of things inside the field and then, using essentially a grain of sand shaved off a block as a projectile, said projectile is accelerated to relativistic speeds in place of a bullet.
I just hate the explanation for adding force fields to create impact force because the unshielded projectiles had no stopping power and would just pass right through a target.
I fully understand the significance of stopping power but if you could change how much of that force is applied you could turn it off and shoot through walls/cover and still kill your target
Also, is it in my pocket?
Sha-sha!
Pocket dodecahedron!
It’s the most likely use, IMO. They could be mace heads intended for personal protection. The different holes would be to accommodate different handle diameters, making it easy to swap to another handle if it breaks.
Yeah, let’s eliminate Grok.
You know what got me when I was visiting China was that “Royals/Nobel” collected thin disks of jade as a sign of their wealth/influence/skilled tradesmen/maybe spiritual.
The theory’s are all over the place, I believe it was a status symbol.

I think ancient cultures had hypes just like we do now. Old Chinese Jade Labubu
Turns out the Greeks invented D&D, and the Romans just copied them with their own Pathfinder style take on their gods and heroes. The dodecahedrons? Obviously part of their game.
Mfw
Smithing test, so your title is potentially accurate
The knitting helper?
I knew it had something to do with cloth
You mean the spaghetti portion measurer?
Those look like objects I would find in Skyrim
A new hand touches the decahedron!
These are candle holders for when you want to send light in all directions by using candles of various widths. All knowledge of them evaporated because all the users died in mysterious fires.
Did they ever discover what started the fires?
It wasn’t Billy Joel and his mates, so he says.
They did try to fight it though.
Nice throw back asshole. I was juste chillin on my balcony, now the dolly zoom crew is laying downstair. Gotta warn thé key grip next time.
You know the rules and so do I…
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down…
Why do the images on this instance never load for me and if I open them it takes me to some weird plain text site?
Lenny.world blocks everything they probably don’t like your instance for some reason. The images only load for me if I’m on a VPN
An ancient d12!
