Information Cylinder

"If you ever come across a dead Gondsman, it's worth your time to try to pull out the cylinder from its innards. The gnomes pay a pretty penny for it, and any caravaneer will pay only a little less. Myself, I'll buy them no questions asked for fifty gold!
"What do you mean 'what do the gnomes want with them'? I don't know that and I don't see why you'd even want to know. The explanation will probably have more syllables than I care to get into and we'll all be dumber by the time I'd sat through it."
~Abide Baht Mig, Caravaneer and owner of Abide and Seak's Bizarre Bazaar
