Funds for the Journey

Diary of the Watcher - 1st of the HoarFrost, 1020

"The city of Salvus has been in a great uproar. Two weeks ago, several bands of our valiant youth set out to pursue a quest for a hidden treasure near the city. I am not yet sure where the quest came from, but there have been whispers flying through town of two figures that initiated this expedition. Their names were not given, just the pseudonyms of The Patron and The Vagrant. Furthermore, I have heard reports that although the artefact was found and returned to Salvus, it was quickly delivered to one of the two benefactors, and therefore I fear I will not have the chance to study it. As to the item itself it is not clear what exactly it is. Rumour has it that the vial (from reports I deduced that it was indeed a vial of liquid) contained naught but a single seed. Why someone would bury a seed (besides to plant it) I can still only guess, but if even a seedling of what I have heard about this seed is true... the future may be bleak."
