Current Red Glove Research and Information

Obsidian Raptors aside. The man known as "Osric" is being used as an agent to locate legendary anchor points as per my request. A deal has been made as such "Osric" is my charge until our arrangements are met in full. When the war ended so did Sir Osric. When the time comes to meet I ask that I am able to treat with "Osric".

To all whom it may concern,

Over the last night and day, we’ve learned a great deal about the artifacts that the Red Glove have set their sights on, and I have organized and transcribed my notes for any who wish to read and learn:

The Weavesmith, whose given name was Delleras Sol, was a Quinarian sorcerer who lived and worked approximately 700 years ago. They crafted a wide variety of objects that were crafted with, and now somehow contain, weave strands of various colors.

Their goal was to provide the effects of sorcery to those who could not practice it themselves; it seems they did their work in a demiplane known as the Arcanist’s Forge. To our understanding, nobody has been there since Delleras.

These objects are very delicate - being jostled, dropped, or, for instance, kicked, can damage them and render them inoperable.

Known Weavesmith Artifacts:
(all of the following have been proven or conjectured to have been produced more than once)
Iron Cage Configuration: uses a red strand. Seals an object within it, or seals a container closed. Travance has an operating Iron Cage Configuration in our possession.
Unwound Clock: uses an orange strand. Halts aging and entropy.
Eyes of a Thousand: uses a purple strand. Allows scrying.
Arcane Crossroads: uses a green strand. Creates temporary relocation of one space to another.
Name Unknown: strand used unknown. A small gem that wards a fairly large area in the way a Sanctuary might.

The Lock Eternal and the Gauntlet Eternal:
These two artifacts, unlike the others, appear to be one of a kind each, and until recently have only been rumored to exist.
The Lock Eternal is exactly what it sounds like - a lock that seals off another demiplane known as the Tower of the Blinding Glory (n.b. I think this is the accurate name - it was at this point in taking my notes that a bar fight broke out with those who we discovered were hired or sent by Bloody Bess, so if someone can corroborate that I’d appreciate it - my notes are quite messy after that).
Nobody seems confident of what, exactly, is in that Tower, aside from a general agreement that it’s something quite bad. It seems that legend holds that it can only be opened on the twenty-ninth day of the second month of the year. (Which, if you’ll recall, is a date only recognized once every four years.)
The Lock Eternal sealed this place off - and then someone (perhaps the Weavesmith?) split the Lock into many pieces and scattered them, to prevent it being opened again.
The Gauntlet Eternal is, as I understand, the key to the Lock, and we can confirm it is in possession of Ser Osric.

This afternoon, we ventured into a temple in northern Coasthaven, wherein was buried an Iron Cage Configuration in working condition, and sealed. Essvale Verrain and Isablle Baker accompanied us, and proved that their aims align with ours as far as countering the Red Glove’s attempts to secure more of the Weavesmith artifacts. A member of the Red Glove, Dr. Tara Seigfried, arrived, along with a member of the Obsidian Raptors and quite a few of Bess’s thugs. Dr. Seigfried was chased off before she could try to take the Configuration for herself. We successfully opened it, and found inside two objects - one, we strongly believe to be a piece of the Lock Eternal, and one is a stone tablet that appears to be a map that leads to this temple, an Arcane Font that can be used to repair the Arcane Crossroads, and two other destinations we are as of yet uncertain of. (One looks suspiciously like a tower, though.)

With Essvail’s help, we will be attempting to repair the Arcane Crossroads as quickly as we can, well before the twenty-ninth of February. The piece of the Lock and the stone map are under close protection.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions if I have omitted something or you wish for a point of clarification.

Aiki, I have a fast question - is there a reason you place Ser Osric's name in quotation marks? Is there something about the man's identity that we should know?

Sq Talaniel,

I do not know if this is relevant to our needs but I magically memorized the Arcane Crossroads, while it was still working, during our meeting with Ser Osric. If that is of any use in getting it up and running, please do let me know.

Talaniel,
I know you are already aware of this, but any way that I may be of service to this please let me know. Certainly I have great interest and very much want to see these items in the right hands.

A lot of this is certainly out of my realm of expertise or knowledge. But I have a vested interest in these Obsidian Raptors. They are fanatics that slander the name of my God and twist His teachings. I would like to send them directly to the Reaper if they are so eager!
Lord Demirosz, if you are able to find this cypher that they have used in the past, I would be very interested in it, please!

The obsidian raptors use a simple cipher.
The cipher follows a substitution pattern, where each letter is elevated by one, except for O and R, which remain the same.
ie. A = B, B = C, N = O, O = O, P = Q, Z = A, etc.
