Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'You are talking to Kheechiz, Master of Stories!'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Mine is the unique gift to be able to tell stories of events past and present, if one would provide enough artifacts of such events. Although I have two competent assistances, there is always more to learn. Say, <Player Name> would you be interested in assisting me?'
You say, 'Assist you how?'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'I'm interested in stories of old at this point, more precisely, in the stories of the commonfolk of old Ikild, no one of rank. With as little as three unique pieces connected to the same source, I could surely retell this citizens tale. If you could help me compose a book of ten different stories, I would be very grateful!'
Warning: You are about to receive a container!
You say, 'I will see what I can do for you there.'
Kheechiz, Master of Stories says, 'Marvelous! Here, take this empty book, and venture off to the ruins of old Ikild at once! Whenever you have three unique pieces from the same source, give them to me and I will tell you their story to write down in the Book!'

Your journal has been updated. [Stories of Old: Commonfolk]
Journal Text: I agreed to help Kheechiz, Master of Stories in composing a book full of ancient stories from the common folk of old Ikild. For this to happen, I will have to find three distinct items connected to an individual. Once I have gathered said three pieces per individual, I'll have to return them to Kheechiz, and he will divine the story, so that I can put it down in the book. Kheechiz thinks that ten different stories will make for a splendid book.
