He shudders. +100 x Sovereign +250 x Experience +1 x Balance of the Great Game: Eleutheria

The Pages Vault: Illicit Literature to the Empyrean The Gloomy Middleman has an opportunity for which someone has specifically requested you. A private collector in the Eagle's Empyrean seeks books from the notorious 'Pages Collection' of Old London, which was said to contain copies of works assumed to be mythical. "I rarely read myself," the Middleman confides, "on account of my deep mistrust of writers, whom I consider perfidious. The odds of finding something from the Pages Collection is vanishingly small, of course, but to an optimist any haystack might hide a needle. Nine Trunks of Illicit Literature should do in this case. Within two months, if you please." .	Eagle's Empyrean	Affiliation: Academe ≥ 3 Smuggling ≥ 1	9 Trunk of Illicit Literature	275 Sovereigns	The client is attached to the London embassy. She avidly begins rummaging through the books. "The Pages Collection contained works written during the heyday of the Khans; ones which might shed some truth on the Eagle's... unlikely account of his early family history. Your promptness is appreciated; I have a lot of reading to do." +1 x Reputation: Smugglers +2175 x Sovereign +1 x Balance of the Great Game: Eleutheria +1 x Savage Secret
