Chaos and anarchy reigned in Yermon. Abandoned for months by both Melhed and Fronen, the green plain was covered by corpses and ruins. Monster ruled the region, huge bands of mountain trolls coming down from Jedinchel raided the region countless times, enslaving the population and burning almost all the villages around.
Circenzio W, adventurer from Fronen, heard rumors about such monster infestation, and decided to pay a visit to the region. Well equipped and determined he investigated and studied the region for many days, following trails and discovering the troll's hideouts. Finally he chose his target, a small warband of monsters lead by an impressive sized giant, living in an a cave near Vore. Circenzio striked with speed and skill, taking down the sentinels and the patrols before venturing inside the cave. There two successive major fights took place. Alone and outnumbered he showed the Trolls what experience and skill can make, severing limbs and heads till no giant stood still in the cave.
The stink was terrifying but then came the fun part, looting. Many common items were found inside the caverns, probably coming from one of the last raids made by trolls. Then a strange object caught Circenzio's attention. Half covered in dust and dirt stood a massive chest. It was incredibly heavy and masterworkly crafted, probably old beyond imagination. The materials used to build it was unknown to Circenzio, but surely they were imbued with some magic: the chest borne the marks of thousand beatings but no significant crack was visible. The lock was as mysterious as the chest itself, made by concentri rings each labeled by strange runes.
The adventurer excitment was visible, no one could expect to find such a treasure in the hands of stupid trolls, that abandoned and forgot the chest once it was clear they were unable to open it, neither by brute force nor by solving the lock's enigma. Circenzio remained in the Troll's cave for days, working tirelessly on the lock. He tried to remember all what he heard about such riddles, from old sages holed up in mountains or from drunken bards in taverns. Finally, he succeeded and opened it. Inside was hidden the most beautiful armour Circenzio ever saw. Forged in white mithril and adorned by diamonds it was an impressive sight to see; he immediately recognized the armour worn by the legendary imperator of the icy plains of Belutaerra, Tempus' Armour of the North. Only for a king such Armour was suited, and he decided to sell it to Fronen's Doge.
Ambassador Jefferson Vita of Bil Havil, Melhed learned of the item before it was sold and through contacting Senator and Ambassador Dianna and Doge Jeff, eventually arranged a deal to purchase it for twice the price the Doge had paid for it. They met in Vozzessdor and it was there Jefferson purchased the item.
