MarkedBox

A box that may have been marked with the mark of Merlin

The mark of Merlin was a "mysterious rune" that the Medieval legendary wizard Merlin used to mark his possessions, namely, a gleaming jet black box.[1]

History[]

During the Middle Ages, a fraudulent mark of Merlin was placed on the cursed bee pendant.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Oddly, the box that supposedly bears this mark appears to be completely plain other than the lock. It is possible that the mark is merely on a side of the box that is not seen, however, or else that it is rendered invisible and only can be seen if a spell is cast to reveal it.
