Remnants of the Sundial Vault

Buried beneath cracked mosaics and collapsed solar columns, the Sundial Vault is a quiet pocket of the ancient city — a place where time was measured in light and memory rather than hours. No guardians remained; instead the party found sealed alcoves behind mural panels, a collapsed librarian's rostrum, and a dust-choked reliquary whose seals had only recently failed. The haul is what you'd expect for a level-7 party exploring a once-prosperous, arcane-leaning ruin: a modest coin cache, mid-tier gemstones and art objects, rare crafting materials likely prized by artificers and smiths, a couple of useful spell-scrolls, and a single uncommon magical trinket that seems keyed to the vault's sundial motif. Nothing is world-shattering, but several pieces could fund further exploration or supply a crafter with valuable components.
