Prophecy of King Meraldian IV

The Prophecy of King Meraldian IV
"A curved sword, like that of the Far East, cuts through the air. No armour, no magic, no sacrifice may stop it."

In the name of Holy King Meraldian IV of Hearthstead and the Emeraldites, the Knight-Guard of Hearthstead issues this righteous bounty:

All curved blades forged in the fashion of the Far Eastern, known in Common Tongue of the Setlian Sea as the Katana Sword must be confiscated, disposed of, and removed from Templehelm, for the safety of His Highness.

The Knight-Guard of Hearthstead will accept all such weapons wherever they may be found, be it a city-guard at the Gate, a Travelling Knight, or a Chosen Courier. Those who fulfill this bounty will be rewarded with seven-thousand and seven-hundred and seventy-seven Crimin, an Emerald-Hilted Sword of your preferred length, and one shard of the Old Emeraldite Royal Family's Aldwan Chalice - the only Aldwan known to be in existence after the Great Upheaval and Second Deiotakas.

The Knight-Guard of Hearthstead will send out men to scour Templehelm for such blades, to collect and appraise them, and to ensure that none are forged or kept hidden.

At the end of this crisis, those who distinguish them as allies to the Emeraldite Legacy will be rewarded with noble status within Hearthstead, and the opportunity to become a vassal of the state, as well as a chance to directly commune with Planu through his Highness, Holy King Meraldian IV.

Gods-speed!

In the name of Holy King Meraldian IV of Hearthstead and the Emeraldites, the Knight-Guard of Hearthstead issues this righteous bounty:

Sir Zeroqen Gavrenwir, and his daughter Seraphina Gavrenwir,

are guilty of conspiring to murder the honest King of the Emeraldites, murdering the King of the Emeraldites, murdering one dozen of the Hearthstead Knight-Guard, evading justice, escaping with the head of Holy King Meraldian IV, misleading the allies of the Crown, stealing Meraldian's Holy Sword, and destroying Mount Kazmal.

Bounty of House Gavrenwir
A piece of the Emeraldite Royal Family's Aldwan Chalice will be awarded to those who can reveal the location of Seraphina Gavrenwir, as well as fifty-thousand crimin.

The retrieval of Kirianu, the accursed blade used to slay the Holy King, will be rewarded with twenty-thousand crimin.

The retrieval of Meraldian's Holy Sword, a greatsword passed down from Meraldian I to the next and so forth, will be rewarded with three pieces of the Emeraldite Royal Family's Aldwan Chalice, and thirty-thousand crimin.

At the end of this crisis, those who distinguish themselves as allies to the Emeraldite Legacy will be rewarded with noble status within Hearthstead, the opportunity to become a vassal of the state, the chance to claim the Throne of Conclave,

As the Prophecy of King Meraldian IV still stands - for the nature of Prophecy is unclear - the previous bounty on Katana Swords and blades forged in a similar fashion to Katana Swords will remain indefinitely. Gods-speed!
