TIL of actual emerald spectacles and thought immediately of Master Bosha's glass ones, but thought you might be amused, if you had not heard of them before? If you wish to see them, there's a listing at Sotheby's, and elsewhere online; "Mughal spectacles set with emerald lenses, in diamond-mounted frames, India, lenses circa 17th century." The diamonds were a later addition.

Goodness, those are a hoot. Thanks for sharing!
Bosha's protective spectacles were a more modest green glass and brass, but I'm happy to see sunglasses weren't so out-of-period after all.

Question for the Sharing Knife Universe: Are there any 'large' cities in Luthlia, or nothing by small towns the size of Glassforge and the like. I recon Ironforge is easily 15 - 20 thousand people, Glassforge is 5 Thousand. I can't see anything in Luthlia being larger the 5K people, from the carrying capacity (agricultural capacity) of the land. Or is it just small family encampments?
