Vault of the Gilded Curio

Hidden behind a false tapestry in the merchant quarter, the party discovered a small, locked chamber once used as a private magical treasury by a reclusive arcane broker. No guardians remained — the warding runes have long since faded — but the vault's contents are still organized with care: labeled jars of reagents, wrapped trinkets stamped with a sigil of a now-defunct mage guild, and a few intact enchanted curios that hum faintly when handled. The finds are consistent with a private collection rather than spoils from a battlefield: delicate glass vials, loose gems set in simple settings, and a single minor enchanted item likely intended as a sample or a traded good.
