Telson’s Satchel

The surviving archive of the Mountain Prison

✎ Edit☷ Tools

Telson’s satchel contains inscription rubbings, recovered papers and objects gathered during the escape from the Mountain Prison.

Contents

Telson repeatedly copied the unknown symbols of the excavation complex using parchment and charcoal. She also gathered loose pages, scrolls and small objects from its work rooms.

A blue protective scroll was removed and consumed during her last stand. The remaining contents were never fully inventoried in the surviving campaign record.

Transfer to Jinpachi

During the final flight Telson looped the satchel around Jinpachi’s neck before turning back to hold the cavern. It therefore contains the only known field record made by a trained symbologist inside the prison.

Research value

The satchel may preserve the script of the Venerated, evidence left by the later excavators and the source of Telson’s reference to the Bow of Arveria. Jinpachi and Norri carried it toward the scholars near Kittleton.
