[Settling down in the room Daisy and Joric have rented, they start a transmission to the team.]

We managed to gather some info at the Golden Haven gambling parlor. This treasure we've all been sent to try and find? No one seems to know what it even looks like. It was left to show the way to the supposed hidden island, Dracness, and the only way to access said island. There are many theories of how the Queen managed to take all of her prized possessions to Dracness with her, one of which is that she possibly gained powers.

At least that's what I gathered they meant, as they talked about the possibility of her going through something called 'the trials'. Some of them dismissed this as a possibility as it would be seemingly impossible that the Queen would have powers without everyone knowing. Maybe 'the trials' are some kind of test, or an experiment that grants people powers.

[Daisy explains before passing it over to Joric.]

At my table there were rumors that once there had been a piece of parchment in the Kellir library containing clues as to the location of the artifact. One claimed their captain searched and couldn't find it, so it's assumed it's gone, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Maybe it's hidden well.

From what I've overheard, and given how people reacted in Zefindam... I think the trials, whatever they are, are still ongoing. And they're how everyone who has magic, gets it.

Hidden, or taken.

If someone else got to it first, it sounds like it'd be in their best interest to keep quiet about it.

I found a drawing of Queen in a book - it's different from the stock images in the others.

[He shows a drawing from a book: it's a image of the queen, but the biggest differences is that her hair is done differently, and there is the tip of a creature's wing poking from behind her shoulder.]

See this? I wonder if this is related to her supposed powers. After the Uprising, she escaped, and it was rumored that she left her daughter the means to follow her. Perhaps we should look into the history of the uprisings, especially in Zefindam.

Wonder if talking to anyone with powers will give us more on the trials, and whatever else follows.

No one here has paper hunting special skills, do they? Super research skills. Super scholars?

Do you think the parchment could have been moved for safekeeping? To a vault or the like?
