In recent memory, three events come to mind. First, during either our first or second Dark Harvest on Haven, I received a "customer loyalty gift" from my preferred Stranger merchant. It had been randomly selected from his inventory, and I opened it to find a Haunted Aura. this aura was used on... well, my costume. Don't look at me like that.

A fair while later, during the recent Kataclysmic Confrontation with the appropriate prize boxes, I managed to gain two of the forehead gems as well as a Grim Seal. Some day, I will find Margrel and defeat him, for the sake of a friend of mine, and I intend to bind this Seal to whatever scraps are left over. Perhaps fashion it into something useful, we shall see...

Finally, during the recent excavations into the ruins of Almire, I was ordered onto the archeology team for my outstanding performance reassembling Apocrean obelisks in the past. Note that "archeology" is only loosely applicable in this case. The digging we were doing involved flaming wreckage far more than any sort of dust, naturally. At any rate, we were beginning to get overrun by the Walkers when I accidentally rammed through a hidden doorway with my shield, blocked previously by more debris. Inside I found an impressively well preserved chamber, most likely used as the meeting hall of some high-ranking member of Almiran society. The flames had touched this chamber significantly less than others, and though there were no preserved records to be found, the furniture was all remarkably intact, with a mere outer layer of burn damage. The team allowed me first pick of the artifacts, and so it came to pass that an authentic battle standard directly from the cursed lorddom came to rest in the corner of my guild hall's entryway. For the same reason, my personal quarters accommodate a genuine Almiran throw-rug, which is still impressively lush all these centuries later. I know, we have little capacity to appreciate such comforts given our anatomy, but even so it's a pleasant memento.
