CMU Chapter 24

Chapter Twenty-Four: Jeweler's Eye

In Mostul Ûbar’s Lapidary District, Poleen Juvukis, as Kontzulê Polênu Juvilêus, presents Nicôdî’s gems to jeweler Môgudû Subar, who identifies seventeen as Written Jewels from Hudêd’s sacked Temple of Hushimvodu, bearing Tôlk symbols like silêun and tokuhê, potentially spelling a sacred message. Valued at over a million mogdul but risky to sell, the forty-nine common gems fetch 100,000 mogdul. Poleen, suspecting Nicôdî’s motives, halts the sale of the Written Jewels, hoping they’ll sway her father, Kontzûl Juvilêus, to aid her vengeance against Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ and Berjer Fendênus. Âvorê suggests returning the jewels to Hudêd for honor, while Sandorelê, focused on riches, reluctantly agrees to a week’s delay. Poleen requests a loupe and tasks Môgudû with messaging Juvilêus, claiming she bears his daughter’s Written Jewels from the Butcher of Hudêd.
