Sunken Archive: Orc Warband Spoils

The orc warband had been scavenging a collapsed wing of the Sun‑Eyed Dynasty's archive—tearing through low vaults and alcoves for anything worth carrying away. After you routed the five orcs, you searched the wrecked corridors and a sealed reliquary that the orcs hadn't quite managed to pry open. Between crude wargear the orcs carried and the fragments of the archive they had pillaged, you recover a mix of orc spoils and genuine relics from the ancient builders: a modest coin hoard and gemstones, a well‑crafted (and slightly tainted) blade taken as a trophy by the orc leader, ritual dust scraped from the archive's mortar useful for craftsmen or mages, a rune tablet fragment that hints at lost knowledge, and two minor magical pieces whose power likely comes from slow exposure to the ruins' lingering wards. The items reflect both the orcs' scavenging and the archive's original opulence.
