| an antique Vornavian silk cloth |
|---|
| Smooth with a soft finish, the Vornavian silk cloth has hints of its original deep blue hue at its edges though largely it has faded to a watered azure hue. Faint seashell patterns decorate the edge, the silver and white embroidery creating scallop shells that overlap. Rolled silk cords aid the bundle in staying closed as needed, their ends capped in silver dolphin periapts. |
| a blue-tinted white vellum parchment |
|---|
| Slightly warped in shape and displaying clear signs of damage from humidity, the fine parchment is tinted with a subtle blue hue that is almost white and yet distinctly not. Crisp folds create precise lines in the top and bottom third of the piece, while the corners display fray signs where moisture has separated the layers.
In the Common language, it reads: the seventeenth day of Olaesta in the year 4839 Tagetes, Hopefully, we will return at the same time and all of this preparation will be for naught. The temple will have no attendants as I have figured out the missing piece to get us to Pearl. It lies in an old Kannalan Temple to Charl. I believe I've tracked down its former location. I've hidden the plans in the old office at the end of the catacombs and sealed the entry. So few people know of its existence that it should be safe to travel there. I do not think I will be gone more than a handful of days. However, as I do not trust the Mercantile Guild, with their recent decisions to create gardens and shrines to the dark pantheon, I have sealed the doorway up and hidden it. Since you know where it is, you should have no issue finding it. There are seven keys for entry. I've left the Empress key here, but you can easily obtain the other six by seeking the blessings of the Lover, the Mistress, the Sister, the Mother, the Daughter, and the High Priestess. I'm sure you'll remember who these are from our past talks. I dare not say more for fear this is found by others. Please know that some wish to see the curse spread. Others are working hard to stop it. Young Bristena had the idea to buy back all the jewelry from the women whose husband, lovers, and brothers searched the North Beach to obtain them. I gave her enough coin to buy them all back. Once she has every last piece, she'll have a sailor take her out to the spot we believe the "Pearl" to be waiting in and drop them back into the water. That should give us time to get the pieces together to free her. I used the last of the coffers to pay a crew to start the lighthouse. If I don't return... Please let my husband and son know the depths of which I love them. By my hand, Aralinne Wynedowne |
| a carved golden amber acorn |
|---|
| Roughly oval in shape, a carved golden amber acorn is broad and flat, providing an excellent view of its transparent interior portion. Trapped within the golden yellow fossilized pine tree sap are several small flying insects and a dried flower. |
