Shortcut to Today's Investigation!
The Mystery In the strange exotic lands beyond Merkheti, there is a king with three sons. He wishes to leave his country in the best possible hands after his death, and his two eldest sons both seemed equally qualified to rule. His youngest son, unfortunately, is a bit of an impulsive dreamer, but ancient tradition decrees that all three sons be given an equal chance. So, following that tradition, all three sons have been sent out, each with the quest to find a magical item that would help him rule the country wisely and well. The oldest son was a great warrior, and after many trials and adventures he discovered a horn that would summon a thousand soldiers when blown. The middle son, a learned scholar, found a scroll that would magically answer a question with words of wisdom from any book or writing in the world. On their way home, both brothers ran into the Desert Winds Caravan and found the youngest brother was preparing to marry the caravan master's oldest daughter to get the magic mirror that is her dowry. The mirror's magic power is showing a probable future whenever one looks into it, which would obviously be a great way to prevent future misfortunes. Unfortunately, it seems nobody saw the future where the mirror would vanish during the wedding rehearsal! The caravan master has asked all interested Menewshans to help find this valuable heirloom in the name of his daughter's happiness! There were 7 people who were unaccounted for at some point during the rehearsal, and any of them would have been able to get to the mirror during the time they were gone. Your mission is to find out who took that mirror, and make them give it back! |
