[Scriptoris] seeking painted charters for a library...

[Ches]

This was when I was in Bryn Gwlad about 20 years ago. They were
literally physically destroyed by the local guild head. When we
found out that the charters we painted had been retired I had asked
her if she would return them to me so that I could have them in my
portfolio. She said that she could not because she had cut them up
and thrown them away so that they could not be used by mistake. That
is where I got my information from that they had been destroyed.

I did not mean that today they are destroyed. My apologies.

Which reminds me, Morgan Cain has requested that if her original
scrolls that she provided the office of Sable Scroll have not been
used that they be returned to her please. I have her address so that
they can be mailed back to her.
