From the lip of a steep ravine, the keen-eyed elf spied the wheel of an upturned wagon. Soon after, the halfling thief descended to investigate. When he returned half an hour later, he brought with him a colorful painting framed in iron. The years of exposure had pitted the frame with rust, but the vivid lines of egg tempura still depicted a crew aboard a three-masted vessel cutting through churning waves. A brass plaque riveted to the bottom edge read “The Voyage to the Edge of the World”.

Several desiccated corpses among the wreckage below were found with half-finished maps and a journal that described an expedition to these wild lands decades before. The documents told the tale of master cartographers who failed in their mission in years past.

Here’s the original output from the new Art, Antiques, Relics generator:

  1. Framed in heavy blackened iron egg tempera painting of “The Voyage to the Edge of the World”
    It was utilized by master cartographers during the mapping of unknown territorial expanses. It is deeply corroded and pitted throughout. (210 gp)

This generator is meant to make interesting relics for adventurers to find among more ordinary treasure. The types are works of art or decorated furniture, perhaps other items of cultural significance. Each has a note about where is came from or who owned it, plus a note about the current conditions. The details might provide a spark of inspiration for the party’s next adventure.
