Medallion of the Benefactor.
I was recently asked by Kaballoi where I got my medallion. I was surprised by the question. I didn't expect the Tunnel Expansion to be forgotten so quickly.
I politely informed her that is was bestowed upon me by the High Queen for my work with the Rogue Tunnels being extended into Branishor. It was my idea originally, it was my dedication and perseverance that raised the coin for the project, but it was ultimately a joint project with all those that donated, including Lunitani (She outright purchased the Royal Writ of Materials, costing her neary 220,000 plat.)
I can still remember the Queen's words, she told me the medal was "symbol of thanks for all who will eventually benefit from the new tunnel."
Though I am not a Rogue, I will return to being one of the Master Profession one night, and will once more benefit from the new tunnel.
I shouldn't be too surprised by the general populace not remembering an act of kindness such as that. It appears many still desire to see me as a hateful con-man, instead of the reformed man I am tonight.
Such is the way of the stiff-necked.
