Noble Sovereign

Sovereigns are disks of gold or platinum resembling large coins, and are used by Nobles to assert their status. It's a bit like carrying a seal, but they're much lighter and easier to conceal. Sometimes, Nobles will give their Sovereign to their employees to allow them to make transactions or act on their behalf, usually higher ranking individuals like Butlers or trusted Guard Captains. All Nobles have a different design on their Sovereign, so you can immediately identify whose it is, though if it's used outside of the Noble's usual city or territory, they have this book you can check called "The Directory of Sovereigns and Emblems". Losing a Sovereign is considered taboo, so most Nobles will severely punish a servant who loses one, or will go out of their way to cover up a lost Sovereign if they can. Most of the time though, they'll just commission a new one with a new design and claim it's "on a whim". Must be nice having so much money to throw away...

Anyway, I managed to steal one while in Verodeen last. I got lucky; it was a platinum one set with what I think are opals, so it's a high-ranking household and nobody noticed me at all! It's no use to me, except maybe to melt down and reforge or sell, but Magpie appreciates it! Maybe it'll go in his collection or something, it's a Verodeen Noble Sovereign, so it's not often seen in Osthaven.
