Official Contract: City of Yukam Procurement
Issuing Authority: The Office of the Mayor
Dispatched Via: The Dawnspire Guild

The Mayor’s Mandate

"By decree of the Mayor of Yukam, adventurers are required to venture into the desert to harvest the chitin of a Sand Ankheg (a desert-dwelling subspecies of the common ankheg).

To ensure prompt delivery, the City mandates the use of a government-issued carriage, draft animals, and a driver. A mandatory service fee of 100 Gold Pieces will be automatically deducted from your final reward, adjusting the guaranteed payout to 250 Gold Pieces.

Be warned: If the driver is killed, or if the carriage or animals are completely destroyed, your payout will be penalized an additional 50 Gold Pieces. This is an absolute promise."

Dawnspire Guild Intel (Confidential Note)

The following text has been hastily scribbled in red ink at the bottom of the dossier by your guild contact:

• Guild Assistance: The Mayor expects you to just figure it out, but the Guild has attached our official research notes on Sand Ankhegs to this packet. Read up on their burrowing habits and more.
• The Secret Motive: Wondering why he suddenly needs this specific chitin? Our insiders found out his personal arcanists are testing developmental magical items. They are blending magic, sand, and air currents to create something new. Word is, the Mayor plans to release a prototype to the public at an upcoming auction to line his own pockets

(If you find other resources we the guild we buy it off you welcomingly)
