Imagine the player is in Ye Olde Magic Shoppe one day when the owner says "hey - where did you get that fine blade?" and produces a picture of it from a dusty tome!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
