The Lost King's Scroll

Type: Artifact / scroll — the autobiography of The Nameless King; "basically how to become a Lich" per Greg's auction-floor framing Original Possessor: The Nameless King (the Sorcerer / Lich-King of the City of Portals) Auction Lot Status: The lot at the Heiress's auction was the Sepulchral Lexicon — a map to the scroll's last known location, not the scroll itself. Won by The Engineer in session 034. The Engineer is now the threat-vector for the scroll itself — he was reading the Lexicon transfixed in the moment the AC / Crowley reveal cascade started. First Reference: Session 033 (named in AC's reconnaissance intel) First On-Screen (the map-version): Session 034

What the Party Knows

  • A scroll lot at the auction — "The Lost King's scroll." Surfaced in the auction-side intel that AC picked up during his session-033 reconnaissance of Heiress's Manor.
  • It is not tied to Alondriel's arc (despite the surface resemblance to Moist's "Absent-King / Empty-Tyrant" plot-hook line — those threads are separate).
  • The "Lost King" is a different king entirely — see The Nameless King.
  • Session 034 — the Lexicon is a map, not the scroll. When the lot came up the party learned: the auction was selling the last known location of the scroll — a map and possibly a world-name — not the scroll itself. The location-information may or may not still be accurate. The scroll itself is somewhere out there — its current location, holder, and condition are all open.
  • Session 034 — the buyer. The Engineer won the Lexicon (paying readily; he is associated with the rail-rush company that "got the bids to do all this stuff," meaning he has the capital). He sat down with a candle in the ruins and started devouring the document the moment he had it — "like a man whose hair was on fire."
  • Session 034 — the contents. Per Greyden / Ubys / the room: the scroll is the Nameless King's autobiography — a how-to-become-a-Lich guide. Whoever recovers it (starting from the Engineer's map) gains the lich-becoming pathway the Nameless King himself walked.
