In the dark of night a few months ago, a groups of thieves snuck into the royal storerooms and relieved the crown of one of its royal swords, while relieving several guards of their lives.

The Steward waited a month, then two, waiting for the demand for its return, be it gold, a prisoner, or another concession. But no word has come and now he, along with those who know it is gone, are getting worried. Worried enough to put a strong guard on the remaining sword and step up efforts to find one of the lost five royal swords, that have not been seen in centuries, and some even longer.

That is where you all come in. Among the most competent of the royal's attendants, it falls to you to find out who took the sword, why they took it and to bring it back. You might be up to the challenge.
