<p>In the plush candlelit interior of the caravan you find the actor, cowering beneath a blanket in the far corner. You flick the blanket aside and ask the petrified man to explain how he came to possess such a fine sword.</p>
<p><quote>I<ch.ellips/>I bought it in Eshnar,</quote> he stammers, his eyes wide with fear, <quote>from the innkeeper of the <quote>Pick and Shovel</quote> tavern.</quote> He grasps the sword by the blade and offers it to you. <quote>If it is your sword I have unwittingly bought, I am truly sorry. Here, please take it.</quote></p>
<p>You grip the brass hilt and examine it closely. There is no doubt: it is a Sommlending cavalry sword, but the inscription on the blade makes your heart miss a beat: <quote>Captain Remir D<ch.apos/>Val<ch.emdash/>King<ch.apos/>s Guard Regiment</quote>.</p>
