Stone of Ghostly Pathways

Item · 500 gp · Weight 0.25

The thief named Laffar was a true worshiper of Norgorber. For him his craft was the most sacred of the arts, therefore he never cut a pouch from a carefree passer-by or purloined a shiny trinket that might lie in temptation's way. Laffar chose only impossible goals and Norgorber helped him. When he finally came to believe that no treasures were worthy of him, Laffar decided to steal from his god. He did this not out of greed, but to prove his skill, and thus luck was on his side. Having snatched a relic called the Stone of Ghostly Pathways from the abode of Norgorber, Laffar absconded, with cloaks rustling and daggers flashing behind his back. No matter how far north the crafty thief went, his pursuers kept on his tail, and soon Laffar realized that he was doomed. He threw the stolen stone into a pile of rubble and accepted his fate with a happy smile. Norgorber's servants never found the stolen relic, which meant that Laffar's trick ultimately met with success. According to legend, after many centuries, the Stone of Ghostly Pathways fell into the hands of a shaman who lived near there. His guiding spiritual instinct led him to acquire this unremarkable stone. Was it a spiritual instinct, however, or was it the spirit of Laffar, the thief who had stolen from his god and who had finally decided to reveal where the forgotten relic had been hiding?
