[QUOTE="chutup, post: 5909455, member: 6690844"] [B]The Castle of the Collector (02.22)[/B] Among the Lords Sanguine, perhaps the most insane is the Collector. Formerly he was known by his true name, but a few hundred years ago he developed an obsession with collecting knowledge of his name. First he collected every book, tablet and scroll which mentioned him. Then, to make sure his collection would always be supreme, he killed anyone who knew his name (or, more realistically, anyone who publicly admitted such.) As one might already have surmised, the Collector likes to collect things. His obsession changes each decade or so: past fancies have included masterwork weapons, sand grains from different beaches, halfling slaves and books containing discredited theories of agriculture. All these collections remain in his sprawling keep, though he has turned his attention to other things. Yet on top of these, there is one constant collection, the first collection, which is the Hall of Skulls. In this hall, thrice expanded by masons since its original construction, there are a total of seventy-nine Tarrasque skulls. Some are small enough to lift in one hand, while others are enormous enough that whole banquets can be held inside them. Many of these have come from Thring, whose knights have several times managed to behead the immortal beast. Those who traffick with the Collector are frowned upon in Thring, and the other Lords Sanguine frown on him for trafficking with Thring; but the Collector's coffers are seemingly bottomless even after all these years, and money always finds a way. Hooks: - What other collections are housed in the castle? - What is the Collector's true name? Does anyone remember it in secret? - What is the Collector's current obsession? - Why can't the Collector get his hands on the Tarrasque Skull at 45.24? Not to mention the other nineteen of them... - Who is it in Thring who sells Tarrasque skulls to the Collector? - A benefactor is offering a handsome reward to anyone willing to break into the Collector's castle and steal a certain tome from the discredited agricultural theories section. Now, why on earth would such a book be valuable? - Where does the Collector's wealth come from? [/QUOTE]
