History

After many years of living in the forests of Ansopen, Luc Tancred was quite familiar with the hermit Adlil who sometimes lived in the cave by the Cold River Falls. As he had many times before, Luc went to visit the old hermit and show him recent trophies from Luc's adventures. It was during one such visit that the old man's eyes lit upon the Silver Goblet, Battered Armour, and Thief's Hand. Adlil claimed that he could repair the helm from the battered armour and engrave it with silver. The calcinated essence of the thief's hand would be used to imbue the helm with protective magics.

Adventures

Item was crafted by a sage. The location was Ansopen. Item was commissioned by Luc Tancred de Bardt (Freeman). Condition was 50% when created.

Upon acquiring this rare item, Luc Tancred immediately knew that Duke Valgar of the Kingdom of Cathay, who possessed so many other items made by the old sage Adlil, would be very interested in something that might protect him during the war with Papania.

After repairing the item multiple times for Duke Valgar, the duke frantically asked Luc to take all of his items and repair them at once. It had been some time and several of the items were in such shabby condition that they were only a day or two from complete disintegration. Luc Tancred took the items and began the laborious process of repair, informing Duke Valgar of his progress. In time, however, the Duke's responses came fewer and farther in between, until he no longer answered messages. Left with a cornucopia of items, Luc continued to wander the land.
