The Northern Passage
The skeleton is definitely that of a human. The clothing is pretty much in tatters but nothing identifiable can be seen. The silent mass of bone does, however, seem to have a few extra trinkets; two rings, one on each hand and a necklace. Blowing of the dust you find the necklace is a large, metal circle with some sort of cylindrical crystal suspended within it lashed to a small chain with some cording. One of the rings appears to be of solid gold with an emerald set within and the other appears to be carved from some sort of dark stone. A closer inspection reveals a crude carving of a grotesque sort of face. It seemed rather similar to the large carving that surrounded the entrance to these caverns.
What remains of the books that are still visible, you find the majority seem to be encyclopedic in nature, more specifically, they seem to be catalogs of known magical artifacts. The papers, however, seem a tad more enigmatic...
Anyone checking over the papers if I could have an Intelligence check
