Description
- Recorded examples are sealed with six iron clamps: six locks that contain magic inside, though the locks themselves are not intrinsically magical.
- One is valued at ten thousand gold coins, so it can serve as a pledge in a debt agreement. A company offered one to creditors, possibly the Cult of Set; found in the mushroom cavern and taken to the Forum of Set, it held clods of earth, abandoned objects and dirty, fungus-looking bandages.
- Another was found arranged in a semicircular form, for reasons not recorded.
- A low-confidence record from the same day mentions a beheaded dragon, belly opened, whose treasure is called matambre relleno (“stuffed flank steak”).
Open questions
- What the six locks guard, and which body was missing, are not recorded.
