Letter from Davie, Freeman and Slayer of the Adventurer's Guild, to the guild members:

Ladies and Lords,

I was hunting in my home of Mashhad, through the bit of woods on the border with Abadan, when I came across a pack of wild hogs, maddened or rabid, that had been harrying the foresters.  I slew the first batch, and tracked the rest to their den, where a great boar had just finished goring another hunter, who had managed to thrust her weapon into a meaty shoulder before she fell.  I slew the beast, and when I looked my fellow over, she was too far gone to even try to tend.  She told me, frantically, that the weapon she had left in the boar was important, it was an ancient relic of a land called Kanzum.

I am not an educated man, and I knew nothing of this place or why this Pike might be important to it, but it is finely made.  A haft of fine, dark wood, so dark as to make any colour difficult.  Maybe purple in some lights, maybe deep brown in others, hard to tell.  The head is of watermark steel, and there are engravings in some language none of the scribes knew all along the cap.

'Tis a fine weapon, but too unwieldy for my work, so I come to you all in hopes of selling it.  I'm a Caligan man, through and through, so I'd rather sell to one of our nobles, and rather than leaving it up to auction or the like, I'll put what I'm hoping for: A guildhouse, for the Adventurer's Guild, built in Caligus, and backing for me becoming the Champion of Caligus.  I rather fancy the idea, and that's what I'm hoping for.

Now, if that does not come to pass, fair enough, gold always spends, and we'll see how it all goes.  I've had the scribe bundle up everything I know about the Ancient Pike of Kanzum along with this letter, hope that helps.
