MYSTERY: The Eye of Bartleby



What ever happened to Bartleby’s Eye of History? We defeated Malistaire, but never recovered the eye. His sister, Lady Nightstar (Grandmother Raven), never brought up the stolen gift during Wintertusk either!
Let me understand this, an eye that contains all the secrets of the past and no mention of it since it was stolen almost four years ago? To me, that sounds like a pretty impressive lost treasure to obtain.  Even if we can’t “activate” the powers ourselves, I’m sure some folks in Ravenwood might pay a pretty penny for it!  With millions of pirates running around the Spiral later this year, it would certainly be in the interest of a treasure hunter to enlist the aid of some unscrupulous, no-good, hired hands to hunt down one of the oldest relics in the Spiral (no offense Bartleby).
Or has the answer always been right in front of us?


If not, where could Bartleby’s missing eye be? Leave a comment on your theory and check out The Friendly Necromancer’s interesting theory of why it was stolen in the first place.  It is a couple of years old, but still a great read today.  Check it out here.

Mystery: Where has Captain Avery Been?

According to Captain Avery's official bio on Pirate101.com...

"Horace Avery is famous throughout the Spiral as one of the most successful Pirates in history - he managed to retire with both his fortune and life intact. Avery amassed a heap of plunder during the Polarian Wars, raiding Monquistan treasure fleets."

However, if you take a look at some of the "treasures" he has acquired at his house, it seems he has either been to more places than just Monquista or simply got lucky with what the Monquistan ships were carrying.

That's right, ol' Captain Avery has done some thieving of Mooshu too! I wonder which other worlds have given the great pirate leader a five finger discount? Leave a comment and tell me which other worlds you think have some treasure that found its way into Avery's possesion.
