The Guardian Tier (Limited Time) (Patreon)

Hey Friends,

We're excited to announce that, thanks to your feedback, the Guardian Tier has come to life!

The Guardian Tier includes the perks of our $20/month tier, billed yearly, and includes the costs of making/shipping a high quality physical object - an extra $150/year (or $12.50/mo).And we're making a very special physical object... your very own artifact: Þrúðrys, the guardian of the Sidja Group's active matriarch, Hulda.

The above image is an early sketch. A rough 3D shape was crafted and printed as the basis for our clay sculpt. The sculpt was made by hand traditionally, refined, and is being shaped into the final design - which will be a more detailed version to what you see in the above video. This will give a much more natural look, like bone. After the prototype is complete, a silicone mold will be created. Each piece will be cast in polyurethane resin by hand, trimmed, and hand painted by our friends Brazen & Bold. Seriously, check out some of their AMAZING WORKS as it's a great example of what our artifacts will look like.

This new tier allows us to:

Ethically create high quality (individually numbered) props that you can take home

Ensure we don't lose money making & shipping them

Increase stability to our Patreon subscriber count by having a higher number of yearly subscribers

Offer other quality props for Patrons in the future! Perhaps a small scale statue from one of the sites, the painted bust of a character, (your ideas here), etc. Ideas don't have to be limited to The White Vault. Your ideas are certainly welcome!

Important notes for this tier: 

You must set billing to "yearly" when you sign up for this tier!!! It'll ask when you sign up. Without this, we cannot promise you the physical reward.

You must sign up for this tier before January 1st (2025) to receive your artifact.

Make sure you have NOT elected to "Opt Out" of physical goods (settings/membership tab), or it won't show us your address.

Be sure to update your mailing address on your Patreon profile (on the top right-hand corner of Patreon.com in a browser).

Artifacts will be mailed out as soon as soon as they're ready - ETA: January 2025. Please note that each artifact is hand made, so this date may shift slightly.

We look forward to sharing these new artifacts with you, and also the new season of Goshawk!

Sincerely,

-Travis & Kaitlin
