An old & venerable patron of adventurers that has branches in 'Atlantandria Port City Of Accursed Atlantis' is the venerable Shop of Aubrey 'Harter' Burke & Oscar Hare, Dealers in Antiquities. Our adventurers may stumble into this abode of the unreal & unusual coming up soon. Here's a revised look at one of our favorite dealers in the unusual & oddly dangerous.
There are those who feast after the uncommon & unique among all of the known worlds. The usual channels of such merchant corporations such as Gijar & Sons won't do. Those whose vices, are determinedly barbaric rites, uncanny phenomena, and inexplicable the darkest magics. This firm stands ready to provide its patrons with the unique, the forbidden, & the unusual. There agents are everywhere & hire the best to obtain by hook, crook, & then some that book, puzzle, planar objects that their buyer wants or desires.
The first thing that a client must do is contact the agent on staff for either employment or to obtain a particular object.Clients never ever see Mr. Burke or Mr. Hare ever. There are branches of the establishment on over 300 worlds.

For employment opportunities Burke & Hare pay 400 credits a day plus a modest expense. They employ among their ranks scientists, adventures, & many other adventuring professionals. Their so called Guardians are often sent when payment can nut be rendered & antiquities aren't returned in a timely fashion.

1. Tablet From Telv' Alpha 4- The tablet supposedly speaks in a large variety of tongues & has been known to chant in unknown language. Those holding the tablet add +2 to their intelligence & find themselves within an alien mind dripping with pure order & higher hyper dimensional equations.

Note Burke & Hare are rivals of Gidj & Sons, & this merchant corporation should never be mentioned within the presence of an agent of Burke & Hare*
I didn't create this patron but they have appeared in many of my campaigns over the years. This twisted creation of mine is mine.
