Gaspar Reclamations

Gaspar Reclamations is a fairly young organiza­tion led by an immensely fat mage named Gaspar. It specializes in the location and recovery of magical items and artifacts.   Symbol: The official symbol of Gaspar Reclama­tions is a staff and a dagger.   Headquarters: Gaspar Reclamations has a major outpost on the Rock of Bral. Its headquarters, and the home of Gaspar himself, can be found in the Tears of Selune in Realmspace.   Purpose: Gaspar Reclamations specializes in magical items. The ships of this organization comb the Known Spheres for news of unusual items, buy­ing what they can. Their major customers are the various schools of magic, who wish to study the items and pay the line a finder’s fee.   Gaspar is a mage with an intense interest in magi­cal items. Fifteen years ago, while trying to acquire a particularly powerful artifact, Gaspar was struck with a powerful magical curse; he is now hungry all the time. Despite al) efforts by his magical allies, no one has been able to remove the curse.   Gaspar currently weighs well over 400 pounds. He is unable to walk without assistance and is gaining weight at the rate of 30 pounds per year. His body is not taking the strain well, and he is beginning to die.   The unfortunate mage started his company in hopes of finding an item that could be used to re­move the curse. He has given up, however; his initial good humor at the curse (the company's symbol was his idea) has turned to despair. This is truly unfortu­nate, as Gaspar is a good and kind man who has shared the wealth his business has brought with his many employees. Gaspar has offered half his wealth to the person who cures him of the curse. While no one has collect­ed, the sum has attracted no lack of applicants. If Gaspar dies, his company will likely collapse with him.   Allies: Gaspar is allied with the various schools of magic, notably the school of Alteration, which he be­longs to, and the school of Enchantment/Charm, which has worked with him to find a cure for his curse. He has also worked closely with the Seekers in hopes that their huge storehouse of knowledge would contain the answer to his problem.   As with the Smiths’ Coster, the Celestians see Gas­par’s ships as a prime opportunity to exert their wan­derlust. Gaspar has gone out of his way to make the Celestians welcome, although he draws the line where profit becomes loss.   Enemies: Gaspar distrusts the Tenth Pit but does not see himself or his organization as the logical group to stop them. He has a friendly rivalry with the Sindiath Line, although the elves have many more ships than he does, as they both carry passengers (the magical-item line is only marginally profitable unless you cover costs some other way).   The Shapers resent Gaspar’s support of the schools of Alteration and Enchantment/Charm (a sphere in which they have no power). As a result, they shun his ships, and mages who work as helms­men on ships of Gaspar's employ can count on extra scrutiny in Shaper-controlled ports. Joining: Joining Gaspar Reclamations is straight­forward; just go see Gaspar. He is willing to accept anyone of good or neutral alignment as a member of his company.   Benefits: Gaspar maintains a ready market for mi­nor magical items and can also act as a sage with re­gard to magic and magical items. Ships of Gaspar Reclamations are known allies of the schools of mag­ic and will not be trifled with where mages are power­ful.   Obligations: Gaspar has a standing offer to any­one who wishes to join his organization. Each of his employees must agree to send to Gaspar any magi­cal item found. He will reimburse the employee for the cost of acquiring the item (plus profit) if he finds a buyer for it among the schools of magic. If no suit­able buyer can be found within a reasonable period of time, Gaspar will either purchase the item himself (to be held in a warehouse until the market for such items is stronger), or he will return it to the finder.
