I know that I would have enjoyed such a gift as my time new to the
realms. So, since Spiegel is no longer able to and I think he did good
while it lasted for him, I will be buying shortswords from newbies only.
So if anyone asks you or if your guild could direct them to me, if I am
not busy I will purchase them for 125 gold pieces. It may not be much,
but to a newbie that is a lot. It was to me when I was young. Thank you.
