The Confiscated Ledger and Guild Cache

Hidden beneath a false bottom in a courier's chest, this collection of items was never meant to see the light of day. Tucked alongside personal effects and professional tools lies the Confiscated Ledger, its oilskin wrapping smelling faintly of salt and old dust. The air in the metropolitan hideout is thick with the scent of cheap tallow candles and the looming threat of the Merchants Guild. Possession of these items marks the difference between a common street urchin and a major player in the capital's dangerous political theater, provided the bearer can survive long enough to use them.
