Unlocked By
King of Dust

Event
''You pass a funeral - it's obvious from the size of the procession that the deceased was a well-loved figure. You are approached by the cleric.'' "This great hero fell defending our beloved town of Wandermere. His sword and shield are powerful artefacts, but must be returned to his hometown for the proper burial rites to be completed. Will you do this, traveller?"

Choice:
 * A) Take the hero's belongings.

The player is cursed with Heavy Burden but the curse is removed if they bring the items where they are told to bring them. The player may use the items in the intervening time and suffer no penalties. It is important to note that the curse can be removed for the price of 100 gold, thus allowing you to keep the items without suffering the health penalty.
