FRAGMENT 47

MARKET JUNGLE NOTE

Traders speak in riddles.

Information costs more than gold.

A name keeps surfacing:

The Keeper

No description accompanies the name.

No confirmed sightings exist in surviving records.

Yet references appear repeatedly across unrelated trade routes.

"The Council guards the maps.
The Keeper guards what the maps lead to."

Additional remarks recovered from damaged copies:

"Ask three traders the same question.
Receive three different answers.
Listen for the one they refuse to give."

Distribution widespread.
Origin unknown.
