| Sometimes scholarly research pays off! A contact has provided you with sure-fire information concerning the long-lost tomb of the Twins, that is, the resting place of the famous twin warriors of antiquity, Thekla and Taticus.

Your contact will pay 15,000 gp for each of the Gemini blades, assuring you that there will be plenty of additional treasure in the tomb of the Twins and ‘nearby’ tombs.

| Locate the rogue archmage, Cerbactos Kalthetos, as well as the six rare codices that Cerbactos stole from the Imperial Academy’s library.

| Since the dark days of the war between Sortians and Theosophs, the number of collegia devoted to magical scholarship and training has been fixed by imperial decree at seven. And yet, rumors of an eighth, hidden collegium have persisted for centuries. It is said that the eighth collegium - if it exists - must have access to rare spells, summoning information, and magical processes. Gossip had fingered the archmage Nerub Null as a potentially leading figure in this shadowy organization. When he disappeared some fifty years ago, it was thought that he had died or gone underground. Now a reputable report places Nerub Null in Arden Vul with a small team of supporters. The leaders of at least five of the mainstream collegia will offer substantial rewards in coin, spells, and magic items to those who can produce definitive proof of the existence, structure, and operations of the eighth collegium; the reward doubles if the archmage Nerub Null can be brought alive for interrogation in Narsileon or Archontos. | Locate the rogue archmage, Cerbactos Kalthetos, as well as the six rare codices that Cerbactos stole from the Imperial Academy’s library.
