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!
