| "Tea for sale! Buy tea! Everyone likes tea! Please?"
A Dishevelled Research Associate sells caddies of dried tea from an oak chest. "Due to an unfortunate but entirely understandable administrative error, the professor's entire research budget has been spent on tea," she explains, shuffling her feet awkwardly. "Please buy some." |

| An auction of dusty literature
An amateur enthusiast has passed away. Hers was an obscure field of scholarship, and her family are selling off her books by the bundle. Stacks of pamphlets, tomes and journals teeter behind the stall. |

| A chemical confoundment
A soot-besmirched chemist peddles panes of coloured glass from the back of his workshop. "Unexpected side-effect," she explains. "Had a small fumes leak – nothing to worry about! Completely safe! But it did turn all my windows these different colours. Striking, eh?" |

| A bombazinous bargain
Ravenscourt & Stamford make a healthy profit selling academic robes for graduation ceremonies. They insist that only light-drinking bombazine cloth is acceptable at such occasions. Bombazine is splendid but expensive, so there's a bustling second-hand market in used robes among impoverished scholars. One such secret market is taking place now. |

| Taking A Shine: Gemstones to the House of Rods and Chains
A researcher from the Royal Society investigates a chunk of amber. "Fascinating stuff. So many colours. I'm working with them to see what happens when I mix it with other things. I don't suppose you could track down, say, five Casks of Navaratine Gemstones to help with my alchemy?" |

The Royal Society alchemist experiments with the gems and a Rubbery shapeling vat. It bubbles and overflows, hardening into strings of jewelled amber. The Rubbery Men seem pleased.

| The Price of Knowledge: Bronzewood for the Forge of Souls
An obsessed scholar is seeking permission to enter the library that is now housed in the Forge of Souls. It is said to contain records of every law, past and current, that the suns have decreed. Unfortunately, the scholar's entry has been denied, and he requires seven consignments of Bronzewood to win the favour of its keeper: the Lamentation of Mists. The Forge of Souls is east-north-east of Sky Barnet. |

The scholar's tattered gown makes him look like a bedraggled bat. "This should be enough for a visit or two," he says, gleefully examining your delivery. "I was told the Lamentation likes Bronzewood. So Bronzewood she must have!" As an additional thanks, he hands over some of his old research notes. Flicking through them, you suspect it is probably for the best he is far, far from London.

| The Pages Vault: Illicit Literature to the Empyrean
The Gloomy Middleman has an opportunity for which someone has specifically requested you. A private collector in the Eagle's Empyrean seeks books from the notorious 'Pages Collection' of Old London, which was said to contain copies of works assumed to be mythical. "I rarely read myself," the Middleman confides, "on account of my deep mistrust of writers, whom I consider perfidious. The odds of finding something from the Pages Collection is vanishingly small, of course, but to an optimist any haystack might hide a needle. Nine Trunks of Illicit Literature should do in this case. Within two months, if you please." . |

The client is attached to the London embassy. She avidly begins rummaging through the books. "The Pages Collection contained works written during the heyday of the Khans; ones which might shed some truth on the Eagle's... unlikely account of his early family history. Your promptness is appreciated; I have a lot of reading to do."
