A wide shelf
On the wide shelf you see a bamboo flute and a curved brass shard.
The River's Rest Museum encourages all visitors to enjoy the exhibits. Bards are requested to handle items carefully and return items to the proper places when finished.
A bamboo flute
This item has a loresong. If a bard sings to this flute, it will tell a tale to the singer. There are also side effects that those listening to the bard will find interesting.
A closer look
The bamboo flute, clearly a very old instrument, is the color of very rich butter. The area around the fingerholes is shiny from use. A crack runs along the body of the flute, rendering it useless.
Official documentation
Attached to the flute is a tag that reads, "This instrument is a classic example of elven flute-making during the era of the Kingdom of Elanith. It is said the owner of this instrument committed suicide when it was inadvertently broken.
A curved brass shard
This item has a loresong. If a bard picks up this shard and sings to it, it will tell a tale to the singer. There are also side effects that those listening will find interesting.
A closer look
Even the most cursory examination of the shard reveals it was originally a part of some larger object, now shattered. It is almost the size of a buckler. It's as thick as a triple layer of troll hide and about the length of a halfling's forearm. One side of the curved chunk of brass is smooth, the other is adorned with ornate scroll work.
Official documentation
Attached to the shard is a tag that reads "This is a fragment of Oteska's Bell. Crafted at the direction of the corsair Oteska, the bell was intended to give warning when any vessel of the Imperial Turamzzyrian Navy entered Maelstrom Bay. Legend has it the bell was responsible for Oteska's death."
