It would be most beneficial, humans, for you to deliver the artifact to the hands of the Dark Circle Clan in the Heart of Arda. Our mystics would be able to provide more information, as they are much more skilled than humans whom devote themselves to modern technology in aspects of identifying and applying to all things magical.

At the same time, while walking in New York City, a man discovers the same exact thing in China Town, massed produced and selling for $5 each.

after more study, we have determined that the staff all so has a ruby like gem in the middle of the staff, the gem has healing qualities.

The information you have deduced from the artifact has been picked up by our Cornixian analysts. They believe that this staff could be the such one that was included in the myths of the Holy Grail, and could very well lead us in the right direction. Crafted entirely so silver is not logical, as it would not be in a very good condition if this is a very dated finding. Our specialists suggest that it was crafted with iron or another metal - although this would still make it very weak. Despite magic being completely illogical and childish, some form of energy craft may be at work here. This could, in fact, lead us to the old pagan ritual involving a Magical staff.

no "magical" powers in found in the staff the gem in the middle, is a mineral with healing qualities. Details on the find are as follows

The staff was found by a group of geologist looking for a spot to bulid a new factory. it was kept in a Gold box and sealed air tight. the staff was believed to be preserved because of the box
CornixPes II
13-09-2004, 20:47
Then it very well could be pure silver. As far as we know, there is no mineral that connotes such 'healing' properties, and we wish to know how you obtained this presumption. We are also questioning, if the staff is really that old, how the box was constructed to be airtight. We would like to know the complete details of the site, was it a Temple or maybe just a ruin? This was we could try and trace the staff to its roots.

The box was construct was that of an Egyptian sealant box, one used to seal certian objects, the box its self was found in a temple site located within a runic type area. Although, the box was of egyptian design we are not sure why it is located in china, the minerals crystal design promotes healing. the box dates back to about the The King TUT's rule of Egypt.

The Silver is obviously Enchanted to provide the healing properties. Yet again, now that you are finished, the Dark Circle demands this artifact. We are much more prosperous than these other pitiful human nations. You would bode well to cooperate with us, as we would remember it in the future.

We are above your petty concepts of currency.

The Orcish economy relies on barter.

Make a trade.

The Imperial Praetonian Museum of Acient Artifacts is most interested in this staff. However we do not believe that it is in any way worth $12bn. Even if it does have these so called 'healing crystals', a cost equal to that of several aircraft carriers is hardly justified. The materials are worth several million, and the age will add perhaps a few more. The healing 'powers' are dubious and not particularly valuable anyway in such a small amount. We are willing to offer you $100m for the artifiact, a price that we deem more than reasonable.

The Chronosian Imperium is interested in the acquisition of the staff. We will pay any sum you wish, along with schematics for weapons, airships, technology and any other trade which we can offer you. The ball is in your court. Chronosia does, however, request a demonstration of this minerals power, to make sure that we are not being fooled. When our analytical processes and researches into the object are complete; we will be more than happy to arrange a trade with the Orcish people; despite their obvious contempt for humanity

The Cornixian analysts still argue heavily against the fact that this staff has any 'magical' influences. We believe it is this presumption that drives many of these Nations to purchase it. We can assure you that there is no scientific theories that can explain a childish ploy such as magic. This staff is historical evidence, and it should stay in the Nation in which it was discovered. The speculation of it's qualities are largely over-exaggerated, it was most likely just a gift for an ancient leader. Put it on display, or analyse it more - but don't sell it. This is culture that needs to stay where it is recognised.
Chronosia
14-09-2004, 17:51
As I understand it the Staff is now property of Weapons-Tehc Incorporated, and as such is theres to do with as they please. If the historical accuracy and preservation of the staff is so important to the peoples of CornixPez II then perhaps they should procure it for their own ends; until then, I see the staff as being on an open market for any interested party to make offers on. The Chronosian Imperium will verify any healing qualities of the mineral, and hopefully implement them in a way that benefits the people of the Imperium; and the World. Magic; has nothing to do with it.

We live by light and eat what is given to us by the fates; you are a malignant pestilence, a cancer on the universe where once you held power. You cling to the void like bloated leeches and we shall purge you from the skin and veins of the Universe. We are Chronosia. We are the Chronosian Imperium, guided by the great one, Marcus. We stand before the darkness as a great and terrible light, mighty as the dawn, burning as the blame, tyrannous as the sky itself.

Ah the fall. Alas for the rise of the mon-keigh. But we shall purge you, eventually. You shall scream like your brethren imprisoned in our city. They scream, but they scream in agony.

And you shall scream, as cleansing fire purges you from existence; your screams shall be the hymns of our race; shall be the war-cries of a new age. When you and your kind are scourged from the universe, and the race of man stands triumphant. Until the day you take it from the dead and failing hands of humanity; the staff remains with our kind, and at the moment with the people of Weapons-Tech Inc. If they wish to give it to you; Chronosia shall acknowledge if it is under the conditions of a fair trade; but not a forceful taking of the object.

We will pay for this staff. Beware Chronosia, for your doom waxes nigh and I forsee terrible suffering on your account...

Threats are not taken lightly, Eldar...We will be watching, and waiting for you. And when you do choose to strike, serpent coiled and envenomed, we will beget a conflict that will shake the very stars and erase the legacy of the lifestyle that awakened a great darkness, and shattered a once proud people.

The JA Bureau for better business regards this as a scam and advises all not to purchase this staff. These staves are quite common and are sold for much lower prices in various retail outlets.

Anti Pop's personal scientists have studied the artifact and found it to be an elaborate hoax, mainly consisting of plasticine conspiricies.

3 scientists were found shot in their lab at 3am this morning. Anti Pop is looking into the matter.

"Oh...and I find it highly odd that a item that seems to be of Egyptian origins is found halfway around the world, buried in the mountains of China. Perhaps it is a doomsday device that is disguised as a healing staff?"
