L25.39 Raiment of Coins
A priceless relic of the ancient Bronze Empire which held dominion over parts of Lal-mit, An-Ligir and Gur-Qet. Its whereabouts are unknown, but is records claim that it is hidden in a vault within Lal-mit, and buried in a secret tomb deep under Gur-Qet.
The empire was formed by the First Empress Sule-Neem who was said to have been bestowed with the gift of speaking with beasts. Said to have been born as a wild-woman born from the swamps, she learned the ways of war from the ailing Blind Strategist named Shak-Bosir who received tutelage from the and semi-mythical scholar-warrior school of An-Leshmat.
Inspired by his tales of glory, she set out with an army of elephants which trampled the tribes beyond the swamps.
Sule-Neem was known for her love of bronze, from which her coins were struck and were made into a raiment which she wore on her person. She was also known for reportedly taking nearly five hundred consorts from whom she bore many children who are said to be ancestors of the leaders of An-Ligir, and Gur-Qet, giving her the title of the posthumous title Empress-Mother of the Swamplands.
Alas, despite her conquest, her children were unable to inherit her talent, and her empire was shattered into numerous petty-kingdoms upon her passing.
