Quest Story
A shadowy collector who refuses to give their name has posted a notice in the market: five different weapons, each of a distinct type, in exchange for a generous sum. They do not ask how the weapons were acquired. They do not ask whose blood may or may not be on them. They ask only for variety — sword, axe, spear, dagger, and something unusual. Bring them before the next dark moon.
The collector examines each weapon in turn, running gloved fingers along their edges with the reverence of someone who understands what these things are made for. Five weapons laid on the table become five envelopes of gold. 'Excellently done,' they say, and then they are gone — taking the weapons somewhere you will never see.
