Full Item Description
The description of the items is quite simple. They are things that were once in the players' possession. The items were stolen a while back.

History
The characters were on an 'adventure'. Their property was stolen, presumably by Evil Minion. When they defeated the plans of the Evil Mastermind, they expected to find their stuff, but they didn't.

Yet here it is, quite a while later, in an estate sale of a recently deceased important peson. How did it come into the possession of the King's Cousin (or other important person), when the items were supposedly stolen by an Evil Minion?

Magic/Cursed Properties
Any.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for The Stolen Items

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    Giggle, this would tick off my players so bad. One of them would get arrested for killing the poor auctioneer.

    4/5 It makes me laugh at my players misfortune.

    I dub this mini-scenario, 'Proof of Provenance'

    PC to Estate manager: 'Hey, that's my dagger!'

    Orc standing behind PC: 'Only after you stole it from my dead brother!'
